At sea the year told another story.
Despite the fact that Britain then, rs
now, was mistress Of the seas, our lit
tie wooden vessels drove the mistress
out of her own watery dooryard. Two
English ships, the Resolution and the
Peacock, were stung by. the American
Hornet during the month of February
and both captured. These were gallant
actions, and we can imagine our great
granddaddies celebrating the double
victory with as much Of the hard cider
and applejack as would be left in the
cellar in February. Along in June
came another tale Of glory when the
Chesapeake captured the Shannon. and
in September occurred one more flag
waving day when our Enterprise
brought the British Boxer into port.
Perry's Victory.
September, 1913. was big month
for the Americans. The rejoicing over
the Enterprise Boxer affair was but
faint prelude to the chorus of jubila-

Perry's laconic message came down
from Lake Erie: 1--WE have met the

day. Perhaps the Americans had the
larger force. If 30 It was more than
balanced by the fact that the British
engaged were veterans who had fought
with Nelson, while our vessels were
hastily constructed and were manned
by men for the most part untried In
war. Neither is 1t necessary to pass
the bromide bottle by describing tho

DIVA FARM VALUES.

CM4drid eWS.NeGl6tef.J
A small group Of men were together
in certain business house In Mad
rid the other day. The talk drifted
around to the price of farm land. One
Of the men said that land had about
reached its permanent price. that II
might 60 to 5000 per acre for the aver
ege farm Of 100 acres or less, but that
1t would never go much above this
figure. He said that the farm could
not produce enough to pay dividend
now on the investment, so why should
1t 60 much higher?
The other mans idea was different
He thought central Iowa land would
be worth $500 to $500 per acre within
fifty years. He argued that the con-
stantly increasing population and con-
stantly increasing consumption would
be a feature lin making the advance
possible. while better farming, better
roads, better dairying, ETC., would force
the price upwards.
Which Of the two men were right?
In Germany, Scotland and England
a tenant pays from $40 to S12 per acre
for land and makes it pay. He tills
every available plot of ground and he
farms it right He raises livestock
and he does it right. The general con-
dition of things makes his kind Of
farming necessary.
The time Is coming when the same
general conditions will prevail In this
country. The price of land will raise
because the demand will continue for
the soil is the real source OF prOduc-
ton. The people must be fed. High
priced land, better and more produc-
tive methods of stock raising, good
roads, ETC., are things of the not very
distant future.

NO GRATING UNDER COMMISSION

NO GRATING UNDER COMMISSION
lOttumwa Courier.]
One Of Of the remarkable features in
connection with the adoption of the
commission plan Of city government
by more than 200 cities. big and little,
in the United States, is the fact that In
no commission governed city has there
yet been reported single serious ALE
cation of graft. Any instance OF graft,
Wether proved or merely alleged, would
have been spread broadcast by the OPP
ponents of this plan of government and
exaggerated to the utmost. The only
objections raised to the plan are theor-
etical The practical wor:1ing Of COM
mission government in cities where it
has been tried justify the plan against
all the charges made against it.
The people will remember the in
stances of municipal graft in numer-
Gus cities. In New York recently 1t was
shown that the police were levying toll
Of thousands in graft every month. A
police lieutenant was sentenced to the
electric chair in murder case growing
out of this graft. In Chicago. st. Louis.
San Francisco, Kansas CITY. and scores
of other American cities, men were
sentenced to the penitentiary for mu-
nicipal grating. In these cities the
powers were scattered SO that the peo-
pie could not watch any single official.
Municipal duties were so complicated
that an honest official could not be
aware Of all that was going on in city
affairs.
There is none ~ this invisible gov
eminent under the commission plan
All departments OF city work are in
three divisions, WIN one commissioner
in charge of each. of the three depart
ments. II there is grating, neglect OF

lis to blame With such responsibility
he will keep close watch over things
because he knows the people are keep
ing a close watch over him.
The results achieved under the COM
mission plan speak for themselves. The
cities working under the plan have had
efficient administrations and they have
had honest administrations. No other
policy could prevail under system of
government carried on out in the open
before the peoples eyes.

ID CHANCE CORPORATIONS
 TAXING SYSTEM
Assemblyman Sutherland's Bill Passes the California Senate and If Made Law Affects All Corporations Not Common Carriers
[ ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

SACRAMENTO. May 5.-A radical change in the system of taxing cor poration franchises in California is proposed in a bill by Assemblyman Sutherland which passed the senate today after 1t was approved by the lower house. The measure will af- feet every corporation in the state except those designated by the law as common carriers which are taxed in another manner.
 Briefly the bill writes into the law a decision of the supreme court in the bank of California case where it was decreed the value of d franchise was represented by the difference between the market value of outstanding stocks and bonds of the corporation and the actual value of the tangible property.
 A constitutional amendment is thought necessary by the governor and the constitutionality oe the woman $ minimum wage bill introduced in the assembly by Roberts and passed by the lower house today. The amend ment adds a new section to the con stitutiOn giving the state government the specific right to follow the course outlined in the wage bill
 Another constitutional amendment which went through without argument or dissenting vote, was Assemblyman Smiths proposing an increase of the salaries of legislators to $2000. Sixty four other senate assembly bills passed today

Japanese Officials in Wash ington Will Spend Time Until Bryan's Return in Framing Formal Protest Against Measure
WILSON APPEARS
 TO BE HELPLESS
It is Believed That No Word He Can Send to Governor Johnson Will Influence Him to With hold His Signature
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1srArcHl

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Jap anese embassy was supplied by the state department today with a copy of the alien land holding bill which passed the California legislature and the ambassador will employ his time between now and Secretary Bryans return to Washington in preparing formal protest against the measure. Apparently the embassy has no hope that anw word which Wilson may send after Bryan's return will influence Governor Johnson to withhold his sig nature from the act so the only object of the protest will be to acquaint the contention and if possible to influence congress in an endeavor to nullify the action of the California legislature.
 The embassy will make known the ground of it's protest in a diplomatic note to Bryan. It is well understood that to settle the question no matter what may be the point of objection will require an action in the United States courts and much consideration must be given to the procedure to be followed in arranging for a judicial test of the California law. It will be for Bryan to determine whether the United States government itself win become party to a suit of this character In ternational lawyers hint that the ad- ministration is in an exceedingly deli
 cate position for this reason that while # was apparently the champion of the Japanese cause through the secretary of state before the California legisla- ture it probably from this point on. must defend the California law against Japan in the diplomatic struggle about to begin. If the department should adopt the California contention that the law does not violate the existing treaty with Japan. then it must feel bound to refuse to submit the issue to arhitra ton by/a Hague tribunal.

 the two accused murderers and the
 two murdered men, constituted that
 part of the district attorneys case
 after two long sessions extending into
 the night No attempt has vet been
 made to establish the connection of
 Stewart with the killing, but the en-
 tire effort of the district attorney has
 been to bring the facts as they eX

 ders to the knowledge of the court
 and jury.
 The defense has made little attempt
 to confuse d witness yet, nor has any great effort been made to delay the proceedings or pick flaws. Whether or not Stewart will be placed on the stand has not been announced. At tornev Benton Dick for Stewart said last night he would not allow Good win to be placed on the stand, and didn't believe any attempt would be made to do so. He objected to cer- tain jurors on the ground they had been picked too hastily and the de fense had not been given an oppOrtun- itv to prepare challenges against them The fact that his name is not on the witness list will preclude plac- l ing Goodwin on the stand, it is said.

NEW YORK. May 5.-Twenty blrshing brides ran down the gang plank of the steamer California to- day into the arms of twenty eager bridegrooms. GIadness reigned until the immigration authorities found that eight of the girls did not have papers to prove their identity.

 When the other twelve heard this, they said all would stand together and twenty couples left for the island to find clergymen.
 The prospective brides came from Scotland and Ireland and the immi- grafton authorities said it was the prettiest as well as the largest com pany that ever came here to be mar ried
