And now the campaign has been OPP

be one calculated to mislead the
phrase CAN taxes shall be uniform
on all property" This is held up in
the light of an innovation, and some
thing which must be defeated, when
as a matter of fact to vote down the
proposed amendment would leave
just that same provision standing in
the constitution as it has stood since
the beginning of statehood. The only
practical change in the constitution
proposed is that allowing the taxa

BY ORDER OF BOARD.

Pierre, S. D-The State Live Stock
Sanitary board, at its meeting here
yesterday practically remodeled the
rules under which 1T works, and the
amended regulations will be out in a
short time. One proposition which
will be of more interest to the gener-
al public than most of the regula-
tions of that department of the state
is the fixing of fees for inspection.
The list has been placed at 81 for
clinical inspection of an animal; 50
for Maliine test, with a minimum
of SIS per day and expenses for. the
inspector, and a maximum of $40
and expenses. In other words for a
test on animal the charge would
be not less than S5Sand expenses,
while for any number which could be
| tested in one day the charge Would
not exceed $40 and expenses.
While the members of the board
declare scabies to be practically eX-
terminated west of the river, there
are yet infected herds east of the
river, but the disease is we'll under
control in the state, and by a little
care can be eliminated this year. Tt

IOWA STATE TICKET Is

serving notice that the amount OF
support given Senator Kenyon and
upon the degree Of cordially whicr
George w. Clark, republican candi-
date for governor, would depend
upon the cordiality which these men
manifest toward the national repub-
lican ticket.
The republicans whom ] have

no threats," said Gov. Carroll. I'VE
are intending to support the republic
can ticket in Iowa this fail from top
to bottom. Every republican on it
will receive our most loyal support.
/ expect to take an active part in the
campaign and ahall deem it a pleas
ant duty to take the stump for the
republican nominee, William How
ard Taft, and for every other man
who stands by the republican ticket.
We do not feel duty bound to
support any m@n or men who have
left the republican party and joined
party. We do not feel that these boil
terS nave any CLAIMS upon us. A
to Senator Kenyon and Gov. Clark,
the question of the support of the
great band of Taft men in Iowa for
them depends upon what stand they
make. If they remain loyal to the
republican ticket ! believe we should
give them III hearty support. il
they deliberately bolt and refuse tt
support the most important part o.

BOYS PLACED
ON GOOD BEHAVIOR
-FOUR YOUTHS WHO BROKE 5
INTO MITCHELL FRUIT
Cocoon SOME
MONEY.

What to do with four little boys
puzzled Sheriff Berry and Chief
Smith all day yesterday as the dis
cussed the case with the boys and
Sattes Attorney Herbert before
Judge Drake.
The nighe before the wholesale
house of the MITCHELL Iirutt Co.,
was robbed, and the chief and the
sheriff started out to hunt up the
parties. They We're aided by dis
covering the foot print of a boy in
some flour. They finally came
across some boys who said they had
been treated in fine shape by four
other boys, whose anne are Will
lam Wedge, Vern and Orvilale Saun-
ders and Ernest Kinney. their ages
ran inggormf tn etaoin taoin tao
ranging from 10 to IL years.
Entrance was gained to the fruit
house by the boys climbing through
a window. They secured a quantity
of tobacco, and then made a raid on
the safe. getting SIS from it. They
took their little friends to the o
ing picture shows and distributed
some of the money. The officers
found the boys at the creek taking a
swim when they were arrested.
AS the officers talked about the
case in the presence of the boys and
what probable punishment might be
inflicted, it did not have the slightest
effect of impressing the boys with
the seriousness of their crime, but
rather laughed when the suggestions
were made.
The officers finally decided to sus-
pend sentence on the boys for thirty
days as sort of putting them OF their
good behavior.

SENATE IGNORES THE
PROTEST BY BRITAIN
VOTES TO MAKE CANAL BILL UN.
FINISHED BUSINESS, DESPITE
REQUEST BY OTHER
COUNTRIES.

Washington, ID. C.-The Senate
late Saturday voted, 40 to "a, to
make the Panama canal bill unfin-
ished business. This substantially re-
fuses Great Britain's request that the
bill be held up pending diplomatic
negotiations. An effort to put demo-
cratic tariff legislation ahead was
lost.
The Hague tribunal would be sub
iected to the most severe strain ever
placed upon 1T, in the opinion of the
officials here, should the settlement
of the issue between America and
Great Britain regarding the use of
the Panama canal be referred to it.
This strain would be felt in the
important initial, effort to obtain an
impartial court of arbitration. In this
peculiar case the United States would
stand almost alone, against the ma
tions of the world, in it's assertion of
the right to discriminate in favor of
American shipping.
Every maritime power would pro-
fit by a decision in favor of Great
Britain.
Unless the parties to the arbitra-
ton would be satisfied to select the
judges from countries absolutely
without maritime interests, such as
Switzerland, it would be practically
impossible to obtain an impartial tri-
|bunal.
