of the column, made a considerable
| commotion among the horses and
teams, and it seemed as though every
man in the command had taken one
or more shots at him before he was
brought down." Again on September
18th, Captain Allen recorded: "This
is surely a fine buffalo country; the
prairie is cut up with their trails in
all directions, and We have seen many
small parties during the day, but as
yet, no large herds. Just before we
went into camp | saw several at a
distance and allowed some of the men
to give them chase. They soon killed
four. In the afternoon Jones killed an
antelope, and we saw ten more in a
short distance, among gentle hills on
the prairie"

Work Accidents in Iowa.

"The railways and mines of this

and inflicted 14,S63 injuries upon EN-.
ployees during the decade from 1901
to- 1911. If the factory and building

labor statistics since 1906 may be TAX

News Of Iowa Legislature.

Des Moines, March 4-The Iowa
legislature this week resumes its
duties after a weeks vacation and
will tackle the solution of some of the
real big social, economic and politi
cal problems before it, So far the
actual law making of the assembly
has been limited to the following:
Resolution memorializing congress
for direct election of United States
senators; legalizing an election at
Carroll providing husband or wife
shall be responsible for spouse's
reasonable" debts only; giving cities
aud towus power to elect three park
commissioners; providing towns may
enlarge corporation limits by posting
notices where no newspapers are
printed ;spernitting appointment OF
civilian as officer at Old Soldiers
home at Marshalltown; giving park
boards right to levy additional one
mill tax to beautify parks; providing
anpIxtted land in cities and towns
may be taxed for library purposes;
abolishing sheriff's fees for feeding
prisoners and requiring supervisors
to feed them at cost to county; per-
hitting city councils to supply vacan-
cIes; until next following election; bill
relating to releases and satisfaction
of mortgages; permitting special
charter cities to levy tax to erect city
halls; legalizing food protection Or
dinance in Des Moines; donating Of
ter Island to the city of Burlington.
It is located in the Mississippi river;
legalizing an election of Jewell juno
ton.
The good roads bill has been agreed
upon. and will be before the assembly
The latter part of this week for con-
iideration.
The public utilities bill has been
drafted and introduced in the senate.
It's chief features are to permit mu-
nlClpdl OWucISulp, Will liC l1SuI VI
citizens to appeal to the state com
mission; and to provide the "inde'
terminate" franchise.
The tax reform bill has been draft,
ed by the subcommittee of the ways
and means committee and will be re,
ported out this week. 1t provides for
permanent tax commission, to ad'
Just taxable values and leaves the
eax on moneys and credits at five
mills. There is a we'll developed op,
position to the proposed reform which
will probably be led in the upper
house by Senators Chase, Doran and
Wilson. Statistics have been gath
cred to show that commissions in
other states have failed to adjust diff
serences, have increased the burden
on the farmer and are expensive ma
ehinery.

An interesting situation developed
in the house committee on text books,
relative to the compulsory" uniform
ity of text books bill by Craig Twelve
members, who own counties have by
popular election adopted uniformity,
voted for the bill to compel uniform
ity in the forty-five counties which
are open" and have voted down
compulsory uniformity. Three demo-
Gratis have filed minority report, and
will fight the adoption of the report
favorable to the Craig bill on the
ground it is destructive to popular
government, taking away from the
people the right to decide for them
selves.
The senate judiciary committee
has appointed a subcommittee of
three to draft a workingmen's com
pensation bill, and that committee
will commence it's work at once.
The house finally passed a bill pro-
viding the courses and policies of the
state educational institutions remain
as now, unless otherwise directed by
a vote of of the members of the
state board of education. 1t was by
such a vote the coordination plan
was ordered. However, opponents to
the boards action think they have
effected coup as one member who
voted the change, A. B. Funk, is i'll
in California. The governor has four
new members of the board to appoint
before the present session adiouns.
The senate will have the house bill
up for consideration the latter part
of this week or next.
The house has up the initiative and
referendum resolution for special Or
der this week and the senate the wo-
mans suffrage resolution.
The five-mile limit bill, prohibiting
saloons within five miles of any state
educational institution, is on the
house calendar.
Representative Thayer, of Frank.
lin county, died suddenly Saturday of
kidney trouble. By strange coinci-
dence he was one of the legislative
committee which attended the funer-
al of Senator Gates, who died since
the converting of the session. Gov
ernor Clarke will probably call a
special election at once for Franklin
county to select a successor to Mr.
Thayer.
Librarian Small, of the legislative
reference department, during the va
cation period, has cross-indexed all
of the measures that have so far been
introduced in the present general as
sembly so a member or inquirer may
find bill by subject, author of num-
Der. This is a great convenience as
many know the subject matter of the
bill they want, but do not recall the
number, and seldom the member who
introduced it.

Washington News Exchange Letter

Washington, Feb. 27.-The Taft adj
ministration will disregard the killing
of President Madero, and take no
further steps toward intervention in
it the duty of the United States to-
become involved so long as Ameri-
cans are protected; but he has an
nounced his intent to act promptly if
/ Americans are killed. 1t is under
stood that Secretary of War StiAson
will confer with President-elect viii
son on the Mexican situation. 1t is
generally agreed that one of the first
problems to confront MI. Wilson will
be the necessity of doing something to
bring about the cessation of trouble
in that country, and in this he will
probably have the advice and counsel
of the Taft cabinet.
In official circles there is feeling
of grave anxiety. More than ten
thousand of our troops are being
massed along the Mexican border SO
that, if the new administration should
decide upon drastic measures, they
will be ready for immediate service.
Another antitrust suit has been
brought by the attorney general. This
time at Chicago against the "labor
trust The government asks that
two unions of electrical workers be
restrained from obstructing inter-
state and government kilograms by
destroying telegraph lines and intim-
fdating employees.
A pretty row has been stirred up
by merchants. hotel keepers and liv-
erymen by their, attempt to increase
prices here during inauguration week.
So bad has the situation become the
house has passed bill penalizing
those raising prices. Mr.. Johnson, OF
Kentucky, cites leading hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue, where the pa
rade will pass, which has increased
it's rates from three dollars to fifty
day for rooms facing the avenue.
CONGRESSMAN Humphrey, of Washing
ton, says that at the last Inaugural
ton his friends were compelled to
nav from twenty-five to one hundred
dollars a day for adequate accommo-
dations. The public comfort COM
mittee is doing it's best to keep prices
in reason.
The closing days of congress are
here and sessions are being held both
day and night. AS usual, both houses
are damned with great appropriation
bills which must be passed. 1t IS
predicted that, despite it's pledges OF
economy, this congress will appro-
pirate $1OO,OOO,OOO more than any pre-,
yious one. The pension bill alone
carries 5000, 100000, the rivers and
harbors bill carries thirty or forty
millions more than ever before, and
the public buildings bill is overloaded
with appropriations for a vast num-
her of unnecessary public buildings
scattered over the country. Nearly
every one seems to be in the grab
game for all he can get for his state
and district. 1t seems understood
that no one shall object so long AS
his own pet measure is allowed to go
through-except in case OF the ma
, tional capital where economy is
painfully concentrated.

THE CITY ATTORNEYS SALARY.

(ITY Attorney PAGE in the coun-
ell last night made the assertion
that he never asked for raise in
his salary and had nothing to do with
its being given him. other than to pre-
pare the ordinance at the request Of
some committee. He also spoke of
the Capital Journal personal attack
on him. If his first statement has no
more truth in it than the last, it will
certainly bear investigation. The Capt.
tai Journal has made no personal attack
on City Attorney Page nor any member
of the council. 1t has asserted that it
has no i'll feeling against Mr.. Page or
any councilman and has simply claimed
the principle of increasing any officer s
salary while he was in office was wrong
and hence objected to it. The $500
salary raise will not break Salem, is in
fact not very important matter but
the principle involved is important.
The city attorney did not state which
committee asked him to draft that Or
dinance raising his salary. Does he
know' If so why does he not since he
makes an effort to explain to the coun-
ell about the ordinance, also explain to
the peoplei They would like to know.

If Mr.. Page S statement is correct that

is the only one benefited by the other

stork. He will no doubt continue to do
so though he contracted with the city to
do its work for $1,000 a year. He will
do this because the city council last
night voted to indefinitely postpone the

back at $1,000. 1t will be noticed, too,

THE PASSING OF MORGAN.

Nm the passing of j. Pierpont Morgan
one of the greatest financiers the
world has ever known drops out Of
the public gaze, and will soon be but
a memory. As men 60 he was probably
not bad man. He undoubtedly had
real friends who valued him for other
reasons than his vast wealth, and for
whom he had sincere friendship, He
didn't beat his wife, was kind to his
family, and conducted himself much as
other men do. Yet, outside Of his little
circle, and of the leaders in the big
business of the country, with whom he
was intimately associated, he will not
be missed by the American people.
With vast wealth gathered honestly
enough, from the Wall street view
point, but by methods not strictly in
keeping with the laws Of good con.
science, he seemed to have but two oh.
iects in life, and these both selfish.
The one to get still more money, the
other to regain his health. The first,
