TAX MEETING ENDS
Peaceful Close Of a Very Stormy
Session Of the Commission
RESOLUTIONS ARE WITHDRAWN
Ripley Of Hancock Makes Clever
Speech Which Ends Bickering-
Convention Then Hold Love
Feast and Adjourns.

Des Moines.-After two days OF
stormy discussion, the state tax con-
terence which was attended by 20
delegates, representing sixty-three
counties in the state, adjourned.
The meeting was called by Gov
ernor Carroll on the instance Of the
state tax commission for the purpose
Of bringing men together from every
county to offer suggestions to the
commission regarding the tax ques-
ton, upon which the temporary COM
mission is to make report to the
next general assembly.
For two days the conference was
In an uproar because everybody
thought that everybody else was out
10 trim his particular interest. The
delegates wrangled like great lions
over a choice piece of meat. The
climax came when Commissioner Nc.
Conologue intimated that the con-
vention had been packed by the rail-
roads to kill off the tax commission.
The convention was still debating
the resolution, which did nothing but
compliment the temporary commits
sion, when Commissioner Ripley took
the floor. He was for getting every
body out of the hole and ending the
row. He spoke of the compliment the
commission felt that SO many had
come to the meeting, of the great
good which would result from such
free discussion and then suggested
that as the commission was we'll
known it needed no certificate OF
character from the convention and
further that as the convention was
not agreed on the tax reform mea-
sures best needed, that he thought it
unwise to adopt any resolutions. He
was cheered to the echo. Quick as
a flash motion was made to table
the resolution and amendment; it
carried unanimously, and peace reign
ed supreme.
The convention ended in love
feast and everybody agreed that the
anamosities stirred up had been OF
value in that they had aroused inter
est in every phase Of the tax ques
ton.

No Trifling with Reactionaries

William ]. Bryan's announcement re-
garding Gov. Harmon's presidential
aspirations is welcome pledge. Ex-
planning that Gov. Harmon cannot be
nominated without the active aid of
the interests, and justly implying that
his nomination would not be democrat
ic in any sense that coud.make demo-
cratic victory worth while, Mr..
Bryan's editorial in the Commoner of
last week announces:
IF Nebraska's democracy instructs
for Mr.. Harmon, Mr.. Bryan will re-
fuse to serve as delegate lin case he
is elected), but will, instead, 60 to
Baltimore as a individual, and as an
individual do what he can to secure the
nomination of progressive democrat. -
This is full and fair notice to the in
terests, and all their political Office
boys, that they cannot battle the demo.
cratic uprising in this country by an
nexing the democratic party. You
who think differently, read the history
of your country in the early fifties,
when the slave oligarchy did what the
plutocracy of today is trying to do.
Read that history and be wise. Should
reactionary like Gov. Harmon be
nominated by the democrats, Bryan
himself could not keep millions of his
followers from voting for the renJh.
lican candidate. Not unless the repub.
lcan candidate were reactionary like
Taft; and in that case Bryan could not
prevent millions of his followers from
uniting with millions of La Toilette s
to defeat both reactionaries. No
manufactured third party would this
one be. 1t would be spontaneously
generated third party, like the repub-
lican party of more than half century
ago.-The Public.

and Coke company at Jed, six miles
south of here, imprisoned seventy-nine
men, of whom ten have been taken

Iowa Mine Suspension

There will not be pound of coal
mined in the state of Iowa after the
first of the coming month"; said L.
E. Stamm, secretary of the state min.
ing department. MANY people seem
to have the idea that this cry about
q suspension of coal mining in this
state is made for the purpose of CIV
ing the dealers chance to boost
prices. l have had calls over the
phone which made such charges. 1t
is not true. The wage agreement ex-
pires the first of the month. 1t is
customary to suspend mining opera
tons until a new agreement can be
reached. iowa operators are practi-
cally compelled to refuse to make
any adjustment until the Illinois op-
orators and miners settle their diff
ferences. That is because Illinois is
the big competitor of Iowa and Iowa
operators cannot afford to make set
Element higher than Illinois, because
1t would be that much more difficult
for the Iowa operator to compete with
the Illinois operators if such a set.

roads law on our statute books" said
George w. Clarke, lieutenant govern.
or. II have found that to many the
idea is a new one, but we have one
there just the same. There is tax
provided for the upkeep of the roads.
The automobile license tax furnishes
a certain part of it's revenue to the
good roads fund. There are other
taxes including a regular road tax
which is used to keep up the roads
of the state and make them in the
best condition possible. This law
provides for the establishment of
good solid roads. The farmers con.
tribute to the upkeep Of the road and
there are other means of revenue
which are applied to this road fund"

The Best Dairy Breeds.
The Iowa farmer is being urged
by the dairy experts on the Illinois
Central dairy special, now touring
northern Iowa, to utilize one of the
four dairy breeds, namely, the Guern'
sey, Jersey, Holstein. or Ayrshire, II
his purpose is to produce butter fat
said Hugh G. Van Pelt, Waterloo
dairy expert. For hundreds of years
the ancestors of those breeds have
been bred for the purpose of consum.
ing large amounts of food and manu-
featuring it into milk and butter fat
To use dairy COW for beef produc'
ton is an absurdity, and it is a great
mistake to use beef-bred animal fol
milk and butter fat production. Ye,
over 90 per cent of the farmers o!
Iowa have never given this question
their serious consideration, and as a
result over one million OF the mil
lion and one half of COWS being milk
ed in Iowa are MIXED at loss The
effort thus expended represents that
which is known as drudgery on the
Iowa farm"
