SEPTEMBER,

Pale, purple wells Of misty cloud
The tops OF distant hills enshroud,
While In the valleys down below
The leaves begin to burn and glow
with tawny orange, brown and red,
Proclaiming summer dying, dead;
The air Is filled with molten gold.
And floating silken webs that hold
TO shrubs and trees and idly swing
While through their fragile meshes
spring
Whole troops OF fairy thistledown
And elves, from Daudelion town;
The winding roads lie pale and light
With velvet dust OF cleaning white,
And fade away In mellow haze
In tlnts OF gold and color grays;
The drowsy bees buzz slowly by
And drone contentment as they fly;
While lesser insects everywhere.
with strident pipings fill the air;
Anon. from distant harvest fields.
Where earth her golden treasures
yields.
Is borne the reaper's lusty song.
Which echoing hills and wales pro-
long;
And from the vineyard there escapes
The luscious smell Of sun-kissed
grapes;
The days are summary and warm,
The nIgnts are cool-ah. what charm
Is coupled with the first hearth fire!
And how our hearts yearn with desire
For numberless September days
Before the Frost King blights and

MORE RoeDERIEs COMMITTED
UNDER DRAINAGE LAWS THAN
ALL OTHERS, SAYS JUDGE.
DECLARES LAW CLOAK
FOR So.cALLED ROBBERY
Decision Rendered in Webster City
Court Of Interest Thruout State -
Drainage Assessment Reduced $500
Judge Says Farmers Accept Ap-
Special to Times-Republican.

n.
Webster City, May 3.-'"There are
more robberies committed under the
drainage laws Of Iowa than under any
other law In this state" said Judge c.
G. Lee Tuesday afternoon in making
q ruling in the district court here by
which he reduced the drainage assess
than 5000 or 1876 acres of land. The
statement was startling and created a
lively sensation among attorneys and
others III the court room. Ever since
the enactment of the first drainage law
III Iowa the assessments of the boards
of appraisers have usually been ac-
copied by boards Of supervisors and
when now and then a farmer appealed,
district and supreme courts have been
prone to let the figures of the appraiS-
ers stand. Judge Lees attitude and his
ruling Will create an epoch in the sta te
and by many attorneys will be Consid-
cred almost revolutionary.
In the case at issue the Rev. Barrett
Bfbler appealed from the action Of the
board of supervisors in confirming the
assessment Of & little more than $4,000
made against his 1856 acres in the Ros-
kopf drainage district just north Of
Stanhope. Rev. Mr.. Bibler is a resi-
dent Of Kansas His Hamilton county
farm consists Of Il quarter section, but
only 1876 acres are in the drainage dis
trict He appealed from the action Of
the board on tho claim that the amount
assessed exceeded the benefits he
would derive. The board vigorously de-
Tended its action employing two at
torneys. ]. NJ. Blake and Senator Chase.
Wesley Martin prosecuted Bibler's APP
peal The board of supervisors en-
nounce they will appeal to the supreme
court and feel confident Of reversal.
With so sweeping a decision in the
lower court however, Bibler has big
advantage.
Not only did Judge Lee characterize
the iowa drainage laws as ii cloak tor
so-caI!ed robbery. but he went further
and SAID the reason so few appeals are
flied is that the farmers accept the ap-
praise ments because of the established
custom Of their confirmation in the
courts The cut made here in the
Ki;,ler assessment is the largest cut
ever made in an assessment In this
county and Judge Lees ruling on 1T Is
probably the most drastic and sweep
ing ever made in Iowa From a
little above $4,000, the assessment was
cut down to an even $1,000. The rul-
ing is certain to create widespread m
terest over the state.
