STUDYING TAX RECEIPTS.

Some of the newspapers over the
state are having quite lot OF fun
with Bro. Rowley and his campaign
for the governorship. 1t might be
lust as we'll to hold back some of
their laughter. There is something
in the air and voters are looking over
their tax receipts with view to know
ing why. When the paved road ques-
ton was up there were scarcely half
dozen papers in the state that opposed
the plan, and an attempt was made to
put these out of business with scorn,
vet the returns showed that the half
dozen papers were backed by the peo-
pie, while the editors Of the hundreds
of papers were only giving voice to
their personal opinions. We DO not
know whether Rowley Is the right man
to lead the people in this fight for
saner expenditure of public funds or
not, but we do know that some man is
in the near future coming to the front
to take the leadership for the safe and
sane use OF the public funds.-Manson

TAXED WITHOUT HIS CONSENT.

Recently the Shelby County Repub-
lican printed table purporting to
show that the loss sustained by repre-
sentative farmers in that county as the
result Of the Underwood tariff bill, is
about one hundred times greater than
their tax for capitol grounds extension
will cost them The Des Moines Re g
lister and Leader reproduces the table
and citing the case of one of the farm
ers included in the table, makes this
query: (Which, think you, Charles
Echer ought to make the biggest roar
about, the sos capitol extension tax
on his farm or the $2.S76 loss on said
farm through reduced tariffs on farm
products?"
The fact that the Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader loses sight of here Is
this: Charles fischer had an oppor-
tunity to both discuss and vote on the
tariff question. but he had no voice
whatever or even chance to discuss
the levying of tax against his farm
for capitol grounds extension.
