Press Comment

Des Moines Capital: Chief Craw-
ford will certainly make big hit with
pedestrians in his proposal to enforce
the anti-speeding ordinances. Walking
ought to be made reasonably harm
less pastime.
Rock Island Argus: You are judged
not less by the outward appearance of
your homes than by your clothes. To
permit your residence to go implanted
and your yard Uttered with trash
speaks as plainly of shiftlessness as
the wearing of soiled clothing. This
Is the week to clean up.
Clinton Advertiser: An Arkansas
judge, according to Hot Springs re-
port, has enjoined ball player from
conversing with the members of an
other team Possibly the harried UNI
pire, by the same means, could prevent
the frenzied fans from conversing with
him on sundry unpleasant occasions.
Iowa City Citizen: The story runs
that Dan Hamilton is out for Judge
Wade's scalp. He has been writing
letters to convey the Impression that
Wade is the boss of the democratic
party and should be removed from
power Daniel is calling on the COM

shackles of despotism.
Ida Grove Record-Era: Hardly a
week passes that we are not asked
to omit some item of news from the
paper and the very same person who
asks us to leave out the news will
tell all his relatives, friends and ac-
quaintances and will even whisper it
to some people he doesn't know, pro-
vided they will listen to him. Then
he wonders how the news leaked out.
Iowa City Republican: A man down
in the southern part of the state is
after nomination for representative.
One of the planks in his platform is
the abolition of every state board and
commission. He has been called a
crank Possibly, yet it is hard to con-
template the commission and board
fad without taking on sort of crank
ish feeling.

TRUTH ABOUT HIGH TAXES.

FOR mOnCnS the papers WHICH, nave
been defending the course of the exc
cutive council and the recent state
legislature in causing an increase IN
taxes, have been claiming that the
fault lay with the county supervisors
of the various counties. When com.
plant was made that taxes had been
doubled, or very nearly so, the usual
response was why did not the super
visors reduce their levies to make
them commensurate with the in
creased values placed on property by
the executive council?" j. l.. Hanra'
han, auditor for Webster county, takes
the ground that the blame Is with the
executive council and not with the SUI,
pervisors. In the following article
which he succeeded in having printed
in the Des Moines Register and Lead.
er, the paper that has been loudest In
its cry that increased taxes are not
the fault of the executive council,
Mr.. Hanrahan says:
Il Fort Dodge, To the Editor: In
The Register and Leader OF April 8,
1914, there appeared clipping from
the Kanawha Record, under the head.
ing, County Boards Had Time" In
this clipping Mr.. A. H. Davidson, sec,
rotary of the executive council, is
quoted as saying that there are two
funds which the board of supervisors
are compelled to levy at certain
amount-the county road fund of one
mill and the minimum county school
tax Of one mill, AS understand it
the county road fund is not fixed at one
mill. Chapter 81 of the acts of the
Thirty.third general assembly pro.
yides that the board of supervisors
shall levy a tax of not more than one
mill to be known as the county road
fund. We construed this clause to
mean one mill or less, and only one
half of one mill was levied for county
road fund in Webster county. But
there are several other funds which
are fixed by law at certain number
of mills, as mentioned below:
Last August when the increased
valuation was finally determined,
notified every city, town and town
ship clerk in Webster county to adjust
their levies according to the increased
valuation. Fourteen of our twenty,
three townships responded by reduc-
Eng their mill levies. The Fort Dodge
city council reduced their levy from
1871 mills to 81 mills. The other
towns and townships stated that they
needed more money and would let their
levies stand as originally fixed. The
tax for school purposes was called for
in certain sums of money in each dis,
trict and the school levies in mills
were reduced by the county board In
proportion to the increased valuation
