FEWER PEOPLE IN IOWA DYING.
Comparison of Present Rate With
That Four Years Ago En-
COllraTinT

Result of thorough and systematic
enforcement of the health laws of
the sta e may be seen in the record of
deaths in Iowa for the four years un-
der the present administration of
health laws.
The comparison is by fiscal years.
that is, years ending June 80 Of each
year. On this basis the following is
found to be the fact:
Total number of deaths in 1911 in
Iowa, 32,414; in 1912, 20,S39; in
1913, 21,S37; in 1914, 20,092. This
is not quite complete as it does not
include June last.
The figures show a net decrease in
1912 over 1911 of ,575, then an in,
crease the next year; but in the four.
year period there was net decrease
of deaths from all causes of 1 ,542. Ir
the four years there was reported
S5,162 deaths.
In the matter of preVentable dis
eases there was reported in the same
year in the Office of Dr.. Sumner, the
secretary and executive officer of the
state board, 1923 deaths. The net
decrease per annum in the prevent
able diseases was ,219.
In the matter of accidents the fig
gregate of 1923 first year, 1884 sec
ond year, 1918 third year and LOO
fourth year-or a decrease per an
mum in deaths from accidents of six

SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT.
Front Wheels Break Going Down Hill
at High Speed-Occupants
Have Narrow Escape.

Last Sunday the family of Fer
nanado Bozarth, of near Davis City,
drove down to this city to attend SER
vices at the Apostolic tabernacle.
While here his son, Charles, took the
car out to give some children a ride,
and was the victim of a very serious
accident in which the occupants Of
the car had very narrow escape,
and the car almost demolished.
While going down the Shaw hill
just north of town, at high rate of
speed, when the right front wheel
broke down and the car turned turtle
throwing the occupants out but
strange to say, none of them were
seriously in, ured.
The car was badly damaged. In
addition to the front wheel being
broken, the left hind wheel was put
out of commission, the top demolish-
ed, the radiator smashed in, a lamp
broken, etc.
1t certainly was lucky that no one
was seriously hurt, and it seems mir
aculous that some of the occupants
of the car were not killed.-Cains-

A NOVEL SITUATION.
First Real Postal Surplus i'm 81 Years
And First Time u Surplus was
Ever Turned Over to the
General Revenue.

Albert Sidney Burleson, forty
eighth postmaster general, has the
unique distinction Of being the only
occupant of that high office to &C
| tually turn into the treasury of the
United States a surplus from the pos
tai service. Congress gives the post
master general authority to use the
postal revenue in meeting running
expenses. If the revenues are insult
ficient it is the duty of the secretary
of the treasury to make up the deficit
from the general revenues. With
painful regularity he has been called
to help out, for not since 1888 has
the postal service run at profit un-
til the fiscal year, 1913. The small
surplus accumulated by Postmaster
General Gresham 80 years ago was
swallowed up the following year in
helping to meet a deficit occasioned
principally by the cut from three to
two cent letter postage. A surplus
for the fiscal year 1912 was promis-
ed, but when suspended expense
items properly chargeable against the
revenues of that year were paid the
promised surplus took on the famil-
lar features of deficiency The post
master general, and Governor Dock
cry, who as the third assistant post
master general is in direct charge of
the fiscal affairs of the post office de-
partment, entertain SOM very prac-
tical views as to when surplus is a
surplus. They believe that a surplus
for year is surplus when the debts
of the service for that year are paid
or amply provided for and there is
real money left over. An academic
estimate is not a substitute for actual
cash. During the closing days of
June, the Governor set about his
financial house-cleaning and soon
was able to convey to the postmaster
general the cheerful news that he
was prepared to turn over to the
secretary of the treasury $3,SO0,0OO
in part settlement of the postal sur
plus for 1913, as well as $2,675,000
from other sources of income. Then
followed a condition at once amusing
and perplexing which for time baf-
fled the combined genius and expert
ence OF the third assistants officers
as we'll as the accounting officers of
the treasury department. How was a
surplus to be handled? Clerks who
had grown gray in government SER
vice were bewildered that such an
anomalous condition could arise. Any
of the messengers in the Governors
office could give an interesting dis
course on the cause of a deficit and
how to handle one, but the Wiseacres
were altogether at sea when confront
ed by the proposition of disposing of
a real surplus. miscellaneous re-
ceipts' of the government was the cap
ton finally selected, under which
postmaster General Burleson and
Governor Dockery on June 9th turn
ed into the treasury of the United
States this handsome contribution to
the general revenues.-Gallati

Lifting the Veil from Money.

The assessors of Iowa have report
ed for taxation SAB, 100000 more in
moneys and credits than they could
find the year before. Thus is the
new law as to the taxation of moneys
and credits in this state yindicating
itself. 1t takes time to bring about
a change in investments as the result
of a change in tax laws but the
change gradual though it is, is never
theless certain and it is in the direc-
ton in which it was promised by
those who changed the tax on moneys
and credits.
Under the old law which taxed
moneys and credits for the full levy
made upon all property the result
was a confiscation of 4 per cent OF
the average interest income. This
was prohibitive. 1t caused men to
conceal most of their credits from
the assessor and give in only mini
mum. Where it could not be con-
cealed as in the case of estates of
widows and orphans in the hands of
trustees it caused the conversion of
money to other states, to California
and elsewhere.
What had been doing for twenty
five years could not be undOne in
one. Men who had been concealing
their treasures could not be expected
to uncover all at once. They now
will prefer to pay reasonable tax
than to take chances upon conceal
ment but it will be human nature to
uncover quietly. Money driven out of
the state can return only as credits
mature and the proceeds can be rein
vested. But it is being done. The
assessors have found SAB, 100000
more for taxation, gain of almost
20 per cent in a year when surplus
capital has not gained very material
ly in Iowa because of hog cholera
losses and automobile extravaganza
In the face of tight money and &C.
creased bank deposits it is not prob
able that moneys and credits have
made a large actual increase in Iowa
but the assessors have found $43,-
100000 which they did not see last
year. Next year they will find more
yet.
Moneys and credits are being grad
ually uncovered for taxation, grad
ually returned to this state for in
vestment, gradually looked upon as
forms of desirable investment in
which the investor does not have to
be tax dodger in order to save 40
per cent of his legitimate income
from confiscation-Mars
