GOVERNOR PLEASED
Northwestern Iowa Is Inter-
ested In Capitol Extension.
FINDS CHANGE IN SENTIMENT
Delighted With Reception at All the
Place Visited and States He
Is Anxious to Set People
Right on Question.


Des Moines.-Governor Clarke was
obviously pleased with the results OF
his trip to northwestern Iowa when
he arrived at his Office following
four days absence.
Il consider the trip a profitable
one" he said ''In the three places
where ! spoke upon the capitol ex-
tension proposition was received
with the most intense interest and
apparently with great deal OF ap-
probation by crowds that overlooked
the halls.
The trip was demonstration TO
me that the people are interested in
the subject and that they will listen
to what one has to say, At Spencer
| spoke for two hours upon the extern
sion matter and the tax question and
at Storm Lake | spoke for two hours
and a quarter. In both instances the
large audiences heard the speeches
through without the slightest indicar
ton of restlessness and, indeed, every
exhibition Of interest
"F~om the expressions made to me
after the speeches and from the as
surances of friends up there, feel
sure that the people went away con-
WINGED OF the wisdom Of the capitol
extension and of the justification the
council had for taking the action 1t
did on the tax question.
I'm discussing taxation, simply
showed the people that the executive
council has nothing to do with fixing
the levies except in the case OF the
general state tax, which the legisla-
ture requires the council to so adjust
that IL will produce specified
amount of revenue. Then ] TOOK the
various taxes one by one and showed
the people why each was necessary.
There was such evidence OF approval
that doubt II many went away be-
lieving that any OF the taxes were un-
just
81 had men come to me TO tell me
that they had misunderstood the whole
situation but that now they are heart
lily in sympathy with the actioR Of the
legislature and the council"
