The Pierian Club Of LeMars, in
studying government and women, dis
cussed the following questions:
First-Has the horizon Of woman's
world enlarged too much for her good
Second-Has the entrance Of woman
into so many fields Of labor been in the
interest Of true economy?
Third-Are the increasing needs of
woman in the interest Of more abund-
ant life?
Fourth-Have the needs of woman
become too complex?

Mrs. H. A. Miller, general federation
secretary for Iowa, has the following to
say in regard to the endowment fund,
the raising Of which IL one of the obli-
cations Of our federation for the year:
1.-THE General Federation Of women's
Clubs Is in the midst Of an endowment
campaign. 100000 being the goal.
Every club woman in the United States
was asked two yeare ago to contribute
rs cents, and II the federation's million
women had responded, the sum raised
would far have exceeded the figure
named. When We consider that the
heads Of the Departments Of work in
the national organization not only do
nate their services. but also pay their
own railroad ana hotel bills a. they
go about in the interest Of the fedora
ton, ana that It costs the president
thousands Of dollars during her term Of
Office for necessary expenses, It II
plain that an endowment Is stern
necessity.
1.-THE general federation IL q national
power today, and 10 laboring under
great disadvantages. We arc sure that
IL the work Of the general federation
departments could be clearly shown to
the women Of our state there would be
no further need for urging contribu-
tons to the endowment fund.
"Iowa's npportionment IL $500. We
have raised $500. less than half the
amount. We have pledged ourselves to
secure the balance by Dec /. We ap-

A few Of the splendid features Of the

The promptness with which the BUSH

The well prepared and concise re-

The readiness Of the district chair

The interest Of the women Of the

The spirit Of friendship. loyalty, and
cooperation that permeated the at
mosphere Of the meeting.

Wilson's Disposition 70 Appoint Friends

-etate's Portion Soon Exhausted.

Des .Moines, Oct. 2s.-The Iowa DEM
ocraks arc moro than ever puzzled over
the patronage situation since 1t became
known that the post Of United States
consul at Jerusalem has been rendered
to Father Joseph F. Nugent, pastor Of
the Church Of the Visitation in this
,ity. ~
The tender IL unquestionably per-
sonal one on tho part Of Secretary
Bryan to ono whom he has esteemed
above others az his special political
and personal friend in Iowa.
But that does not help the situation.
30 far as the patronage brokers are
concerned. In fact, It makes 1t all the
worse. They foresee that II a lot Of
appointments are to come to Iowa that
have not been o. KID by the official
dispenseras Of party patronage. after
q while tho plea will be set up in de-
tense that iowa has had enough and no
more pIums are to come this way. And
they also figure that II the administra-
ton has time and opportunity to offer
nice places for certain persons who
happen to be In favor with Mr.. Bryan
and others at Washington. but who
have not the backing Of the party or
Sanization here, then the plea Of lack
Of time as applied to the other Iowa
appointments loses tts force.
Most Of Same Character.
The main appointments for Iowa
have all been Of the same character.
Jerry b. Sullivan. who got the only
real good thing, was sent to New York
to go on the board Of appraisers for a
life job without the patronage dis
pensers knowing anything about 1t. He
was not q candidate for that or any
other place. But, Like Father Nugent,
he was very close to Mr.. Bryan and
was wtthal an original and effective
Wilson supporter.
There Is no expectation that Father
Nugent will go into the consular eerv-
ice, or II he does that 1t will be only
for brief time or for some special
purpose. But the offer was fine COM
pliment to him and is appreciated by
his friends in Des MoineS where he

INCREASE or TAXES.
State Sc and City Taxes 149 Per Cent
Says Commission.

In statement issued by the state
tax commission, it is shown that since
1901 state taxes have increased $3.50
per cent. while the increase in munich
pal taxes in the same period amounted
to 149.11 per cent. 1t is because the
taxes have increased more rapidly than
the population of the state, the COM
mission says, that Kansas now con-
fronts an alarming condition in her
state and local taxes.
A tabulated report beginning
with the tax levies of 1880 and
including the 1911 assessments,
show that in those 81 years
that tax per capita, in Kansas has in
creased from S5.72 in 1880 to S16.42
in 1911. The report shows that in
1898 the per capita tax was s1o.14,
Only two reductions have occurred
since that time. In 1904 there was a
reduction in the per capita tax from
$11.36 to S10.46. Again in 1906 this
tax was reduced from s11.57 to s11.47.
Since then there has been a steady
growth. In 1907 the per capita tax
was $12.41, in 1907 it was $3.50, in
1908 it increased to $3.50, in 1910
there was another jump and per CAPT.
ia tax is quoted at $14.90, while the
1911 tax scared to S16.42.
Taking the per capita taxes of the
last three administrations-Stu bbs
Hoch and Bailey-the tax commits
sions report shows reduction of taxes
In 1903, the year that Bailey took
his oath of Office, taxes jumped from
$9.8S in 1902 to $11.36. But in 1904
the taxes dropped off 80 cents per
capita and were but $10.46. Taking
the two years of 1904. Bailey's term
will show a reduction of 80 cents in
per capita tax.
By use of similar figures, Hochs
four year term shows a net gain in
the per capita tax of 1923. Under his
term the taxes grew from S11.57 to
$3.50.
Tax figures for three years of the
four year term of Governor Stubs.
show a net gain in those three years
of S2.52 per capita. In 1909, the year
Stubs took the oath of office, taxes
per capita are quoted at $3.50, while
the 1911 figures are given at $16.42.
The 1912 figures are not included in
the table published by the tax COM
mission. Figures of the commission,
however, show that Kansas lost in
population both in 1910 and 1911. The
1909 figures of the tax commission
give Kansas a population of 1,707, 491,
while the 1911 table shows a popula
ton of but 1855, 647.

Some Other Paroles.
Alvin Chances parole was really one
of the features in the lists of executive

a strange story of endorsement. No one

But on his own story he was sent to the

Chance shall have his freedom June 1,

While the case was pending the boy mar
