SAYS COUNCIL SHOULD
COLLECT ASSESSMENTS
Contractor Insists 1t Is Unfair to Him
and Others to Force Them to
Hold Warrants.
MOVE TOWARD PAYING OFF
WARRANTS MADE IN COUNCIL
Action OH Fire Fund Transfer Delayed
and Letters of Fire Company are
Read at Meeting,

The city council last evening passed
a resolution authorizing the acting
mayor to recall certain warrants as far
as the street funds will 60. There was a
hint that the city may begin the collec-
tion of long overdue Improvement as
sessme1ts and take up outstanding war
rants,
j. Harrington, representative of the
Warren Construction company, ex-
planned that his company held $l3,-
52392 in paving warrants and they
extended back as far as 1910. Although
the warrants are long overdue the peo-
pie have not bonded and have not paid.
He contended that when such assess.
ments remained unpaid, contractors
would require higher prices for work
and it would result in loss to the city.
He suggested that if the city was un-
able to collect in any other way his
company would be willing to start a
friendly suit. He declared it was man.
ifestly unfair to force a contractor to
carry the warrants year after year
when he needed the money in his bust
ness. The city has reached that stage
Of the game where the banks will not
take the warrants and it is a vel
known fact that money is tight, he
said. He believed that If the people
in the districts knew the council woult
60 through with the collection in a Wig
orous spirit they would pay.
Fund Not Transferred.
The council voted to give the ordi
nance committee another week to con
slider the ordinance transferring $4,000
appropriated in the bedget for the pur
chase of fire apparatus, to the genera
fund. There was a lengthy discussion
Waring insisting that there was n,
need Of such an ordinance as the none,
was in the general fund now. Rigdol
insisted it was necessary to show wher
the money had gone the first Of tn,
year and suggested that Waring wa
filibustering. Waring denied the charge
Cummings favored Strengthening ou
the matter by an ordinance
II was announced that arrangement
had been made to take care Of the re
mains Of the old Front street bridge
now being removed by the orego
Electric railway. Some Of it will b
burned, some used by the contracto
and the rest turned over to the city.
The payrolls Of the city and stree
commissioner were approved. The r,
port on bills Of the committee on aC
counts and current expenses was ais
approved.
Engineers Estimate.
The following engineers estimate o
balance Of s464lO3 due the Geigc
Construction company for Chemeket
street was approved. A similar est
mate showing balance Of 1890 du

Wilson and LaFollette

President Wilson's invitation TO
Senator LaFollette to confer with
him at the White house regarding
legislation to be considered at the
special session next month need sur
prise nobody. The president to be
sure, is a Democrat, and Senator La
Toilette is a Republican, but more
than either of them is a partisan, SO
far as political labels are concerned,
he is Progressive. Both are for prin-
ciples rather than mere names.
President Wilson and Senator La
Toilette have many views in common.
On questions affecting the control OF
government by the people they are
virtually at one. On social questions
they are quite in accord. On econ
omic questions, even the tariff. so
far as immediate practical revision
is concerned, they are not very far
apart.

vate, has expressed earnest apprecia-

rnAr FARM COMMISSION REPORT

Ex-Secretary Wilson and Henry
Wallace are both men who are well
worth listening to on matters agricul
tural. Among the important points
emphasized by this commission is the
matter Of long rental contracts, the lack
of capital among renters N this coun-
try as compared to the conditions under
the farm credits systems of Europe,
and the conservation of fertility abroad
in contrast to the universal tendency
OF a new country toward soil robb!ng.
And these three points are the real
differences which count.
We know all about the evils of short
leases in Iowa; but We greediIy refuse
TO see anything beyond the high dollar
of present rentals. 1t is mighty poor
business. A short lease is the next
thing 10 long mortgage. Not all farm
owners pursue this short sighted policy
but the average lease in Iowa is prob
ably for less than three years. And
three years is precisely the period best
adapted 10 the skinning process.
Soil robbing is certainty under the
short lease The renter gets all ne can
and leaves what ne must He refuses
TO SOW clover because he does not stay
long enough TO get the good Of it," and
is disinclined to leave any fertility he
may have added for another short lease
man TO benefit by. What haif cen
fury OF such soil robbery will Go to
the most fertile land is the world is
well displayed by many farms in north
ern Illinois where the system has held
longer sway than IN Iowa
The credit system Of Europe should
be studied and so far as possible adapt
ed to the needs of the American renter:
but the Iowa landlord need not wait for
that. He can be his own and the
renters credit system. He can make a
long lease to the right man and create
a partnership profitable TO both. He
can find the money and the farmer ga n
do the rest. A ten-year partnership
lease OF good farm by good farmer
under good landlord who is willing
to see another man make dollar
means success to both.
Landowners and renters will do we'll
to read and carefully study the report OF
the commission. They will find much
therein to their benefit.
