Corn Hu.k,. wi.don,.

Elihu Root, at dinner In New York
said OF the much abused corporation
lawyer:
"The good corpora ton lawyer gets
his client more than was expected
and contents himself with a negligible
fee. The good corporation lawyer re-
minds me of Cornelius Husk of my
native Clinic.
Corn Husk was called in by three
boys whose father had unexpectedly
died at holiday time, leaving nothing
behind him but seventeen large tur-
keys. The will gave half the turkeys
to the eldest boy. a third to the next
and ninth to the last. But how di-
vide up seventeen live turkeys in that
way?
Corn Husk, being consulted, proved
equal to the emergency. He drove
one OF his own turkeys into the run
and then ne said to the oldest son:
Take your half
land the oldest son took nine tur-
keys.
take your third he said to the Sec
ond son.
and the second son took six
turkeys.
Thus all got more than they'T ex-
pected, and Corn Husk. amid warm
thanks. drove his own turkey home
again..

LIE NAILED.
PAVING Resolution Falsely Printed a:
An Assessment Roll.

An Assessment Hoii.
To the Voters:-A sample OF wha'
we have had to endure for two years
appears in a printed list Of assessments
OF properties along the new paving
which we are alleged to have increased
for taxation.
This list is not an assessment for
general taxation and never was. 1t Is
a list Of properties which had paving
benefits charged to them and the Ia"
requires US to list the taxable vaiua
tons in one column with our judgment
as to their actual value in another COL
umn so as to show that no property
has been assessed In excess OF It's real
value before paving is charged up to II.
1t is made to appear that we nave
increased assessments when the facts
are that the assessments are the MIN
imum figures given and the actual val
ues as listed by us will never increase
the assessment rolls whatever.
In several instances new houses were
on the lots when the streets were paved
which were not there when the lois
were valued for taxation, but in no case
] have the prices which We set out as
| actual values been used for general
| taxation nor were they ever intended
| to be, The assessed valuations FOR TAX
alton have remained unchanged. and
the paving resolution will not change
the assessors rolls. There has been
no increase in assessment valuations
whatever in this list.
Mr.. Herman secured this list from
the city clerk and carried 1t to the
printer for use in a false and mislead-
ing publicity and yet the records
show that he, himself offered the res
olution. If he doesn't know what he
signed his eight years on the council
have been wasted.
w. H. JONES.
las soon as the alleged tax increases
were circulated about town the people
whose properties were listed began
telephoning to the T.-R. that their
properties had not been increased.

VOTE THE BAILEY FRANCHISES
Reasons Why You Should Vote For tn
RaiIey Franchises.

First. 1t will cost you nothing. ana
will do the general public lot OF good
Second. II means competition. ana
honest. legitimate competition can hurt
no one. What would the price OF
groceries be II we only had one grocery
in Marshalltown? The same rules holds
good in all lines OF business.
Third. Both franchises must pass, or
neither one Is effective. 1t was made
so by the mayor.
Fourth. The million dollar corpora
ton now in control Of our public util-
tiles does not want competition: II 1t
did why would It try so hard to de-
feat them before they came to a vote
Of the people
Fifth. It means more work for union
labor as we'll as common labor.
Sixth. 1t reduces the cost OF living
and means cheaper heat. cheaper light,
and cheaper power.
