II Des Moines, pending the decision
Of the supreme court, will contract

about 1t. The pending plans are larger

prove. There is no sixty acre farm
called for around state house. A third
Of it will do just as we'll A member
Of the legislature stated the other day
that the extension ought to have been
confined to about six additional blocks,
or make it eight. The trouble with most
such things is that when men start to
plan them they want to make them the
greatest ever and the men who do the
planning very often are not concerned
about the cost Of them. The opposition
that has been aroused, we are persuad-
ed, is against the size of 1t, not against
the project in itself. 1t can be easily
corrected and thereby the issue can
be removed from politics, where it is
bound to land in the next campaign.

to set an innocent man free from the
shackles Of a shameful charge?
It is altogether too long a period 70

cUmmlNs' PLAN IN NEW YORK.

New York republicans in their con-
IGNITION yesterday declared in favor Of
changing the party rules so that each
state may determine it's own method Of
choosing delegates to the national con-
yention and 50 that states which give
the big republican pluralties shall have
proportionately large power in select
ing candidates for president, and called
for special convention of the ma
etenal party to carry out the program.
Barnes fought the declaration Senator
Root, Stimson. former secretary Of
war; and President Butler Of Columbia
were its chief supporters.
Barnes came to the Chicago conven
ton supreme. If any one man was rep
resentative Of the policy pursued so
effectively in that memorable conven-
ton Barnes is the man. About him
were grouped in phalanx the forces
which look to the Barnes to manipu-
late conventions And prominent in
that assembly and the high spokesman
fought Barnes yesterday for the very
rules the so called "insurgents' de-
handed
1t is pity that Senator Root had
not sooner seen and understood better
the wishes OF the rank and file of his
party. If he had he might have aided
TO avert disaster. But it is a happy
circumstance to find him great enough
10 recognize disaster when he sees it
Hnd to see him ranged with the more
progressive and sincere elements Of his
party. Root is not boss but poll
tician. He is not Of the Barnes type
which destroys that which it may not
prostitute and control. He is not a
white SLAYER Of party.
And TIM is true of the great majority
of the voters who stood by and swal-
lowed the methods Of the Barnes and
Renroses and politicians Of that ilk. The

BETTER THAN A GOLD NINE.

lOuDuQuS INES
An eighty acre farm located near
Cedar Falls was sold the other day at
the record price of $500 an acre. All
the land was improved and there are
the usual buildings, none IF which are
OF very pretentious nature however,
SO that the land itself brought fully
$275 an acre. The purchaser is salts
fed he got a bargain, and he doubt
less has. The remarkable increase in
farm land prices in Iowa in the past
few years is a staggering answer to
land agents who are exploiting lands in
other states. For years hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars have gone out OF
Iowa because the belief was prevalent
that Iowa farm lands prices had
reached the high water mark. And
still the prices of Iowa land is goin.
up sid will continue to go up for years
to come, so that an investment now is
Just as good as ten years ago. The
fertility OF Iowa soil and the absence Of
drouths is the explanation OF the in
crease in farm values While other
states have been hit by drouths and
early frosts. Iowa has invariably es-
capped and the annual yield has been
up to the standard.
Iowa farms lands have nearly
doubled in vall1, in the last decade.
During that time scores Of farmers
who prospered in this state, sold their
land and were lured to California and
other states. where they have met
with Indifferent success. Had they
remained and held onto their Iowa
land they would have doubled their
Investment. There is plenty Of good
land in Iowa today that is not held
at very high figure, but it is certain
to increase in value in the next decade.
The man who has money will do we'll
to remember this il he is considering
investing 1t in land.
