Jay WatroS Seriously Injured.

C. j. Watros is at Asbury hospital,
Minneapolis, with a broken neck, and
his father, who returned to Cresco
from Minneapolis. Wednesday evening,
says that the doctors give little encour-
agemedt of his recovery.
Mr.. Watros was injured during a
sev.re wind storm, which struck his
farm near Coggswell, N. D., during
the afternoon of Wednesday. Aug.
goth. He was alone at the time and a
nephew, Elwin Belts, was at work in
the field near by but did net see the ac-
cident. Judging by appearances, MIR.
Watros was struck by an overturning
hen house, which rendered him un-
concious and then rolled off him.
The Belts boy w.s compelled to 60
to town for help, and it was about two
hours before Mr.. Watros arrived at his
home in Coggswell, and all the time
exposed to a idriving rain. Pneumonia
threatened as result for several days.
He recovered consciousness about
two hours after the accident, but is
completely paralyzed from the
shoulders down. He is receiving the
best care at the hospital and his wife,
mother and sister, Mrs. Hampton, are
with him.

City Council Makes Mistake.

At the request of the library board,
the council has raised the library tax
levy from two to three mills, an in.
crease of two mills over the levy of
1912, to provide for the increase in the
cost of the new building over the
amount to be given by Carnegie. To
offset this raise, the drag tax of one
mill was abolished. We believe that a
great mistake has been made, and that
when the citizens of Cresco realize
that next year 81 per cent, of the total
corporation revenues of the city have
been appropriated to equip and main
tain a local monument to the Laird of
Skibo, that there will be demand for
q new council and new library board.
The argument is made that the levy
is for educational purposes, but the
librarian tells US that fiction makes up
from so to 60 per cent. of the circula-
tion, and that of educational books
drawn from the library, large pro-
portion are by the various clubs in
Cresco, all of whom are better able to
buy their reference books than are the
many tax payers of the town who earn
a living by days labor for their fam
lilies.
The Plain Dealer never opposes tax
levy for schools or any necessary i'm
provement where the people get their
moneys worth, but we believe that
we'll dragged roads are of more real
benefit to the town than public
library conducted on such a scale that
one-twelfth of our city revenues are
needed to maintain it.

Want More Trains.

Des Moines, Aug. 21.-Another of
the new laws of Iowa regarding train
service comes into play and will be used
to secure rore trains on the Calmar
branch of the Milwaukee railroad.
There has been filed with the railroad
commission several large petitions of
residents of the towns along the line
asking for an order for better train
service, and invoking the new Iowa
law which requires at least two trains
a day each way that will carry pas
sengers. They say they get no train
at all on Sunday.

salaries for the City officers whose
terms will begin Jan. 5, 1914, which
ordinance was passed Dec. 5, 1918.
While the changes made in the ex-
isting salaries are few, long expert
encein city affairs has shown me that
the present arrangement of salaries
is altogether wrong in some very i'm
portant particulars. AS an example,
the chief executive officer of the
city, upon whom devolves the re-
sponsibility of enforcing all laws of
the city, of maintaining general
oversight over its various depart
ments, presiding over meetings of
the Council, executing contracts,
the police department and
passing upon innumerable matters
of detail almost every hour in the
day, is paid but 5000 a year, while
several subordinate officers are paid
