Especial Star-BuIietin Correspondence
FORT SHAFTER, March 2S.-Yes-
terday morning word was brought in
to TO post that one of the enlisted
men Of ID company had fallen and met
with an accident in the high hills back
CT the target range. The rumor went
about that the soldier had broken a
leg in his fall. 1t developed later
that the accident was not sc severe
as at first reported as the man had
but fractured one OF the small bones
of the ankle. He was, however, I'M
able to make his way back to the
garrison even with the assistance of
the two men who were with him. II
appears that Corporal Denham and
PriVates Price and Duncan had start
ed out very, early yesterday to in
dulge in mountain climbing as their
Sunday diversion, taking as their OBJ
jeetfve point the high peak directly
back Of the target range. When the
little party had proceeded about one
mile on their way and while work
ing up a particularly rough section of
the gulch, Duncan fell over small
sheer bank and In alighting fractured
the bone and generally damaged his
ankle so that movement was impracti.
cable. Sending Price into the post
with news Of the accident, Corporal
Denham remained. with the injured
man until a strong detail from ID CON-
pany under Lieutenant Lyman with. a
could arrive to transport the
disabled soldier to the hospital. The
detail had some difficulty in locating
the scene of the accident since Price
was unable to recall the exact spot in
the gulch where the fall had occurred
and Corporal Denham had remained
with the crippled man and was there
fore not in view until the searching
party was fairly on top of him. The
stretcber party reached the hospital
about O'clock without further acct
dent.

reduce the sum paid in state taxes.
The levy for state purposes in
Franklin county was not reduced
one iota. In fact, it was increased.
True, there was a reduction all over
the state in certain levies, but these
were more than Offset by increases
in other levies for state purposes.
Then the aggregate of nearly forty
one per cent increase in farm
values and of ten per cent in city
property brings the total increase
paid for state purposes up to ap-
proximately 100000, or $4,000
to the county. Boards Of supervis-
ors or other local assessing or equal
izing bodies have no authority what
ever to interfere in this respect.

INSTRUMENTATION.

In Franklin county we are pay
ing in state taxes this year the sum
of $4,000, which is $4,000 more
in state taxes than we paid last
year.-Hampton Chronicle.
But why don't you get down to
facts, Mr.. Chronicle, and less fuss
The board of supervisors of Frank
lin county should have lowered the
levies, but they evidently didn't.
Why don't you show up this tax
business in the correct way? The
state levy for Franklin county was
lowered Is per cent. What did your
local taxing bodies do?-Eagle
Grove Times.
This is fair sample of the mis-
statements and misinformation that
is being broadcasted over Iowa by
those having little or no conception
of how taxes are assessed, levied
and collected. The board of super
visors of Franklin county have alb
no power to interfere with
state levies and could not possibly

uations, as it did when it provided
for other millage levies. But the
executive council steps in and by
boosting valuations makes Hamilton
county farmers pay forty-one per
cent more than the legislature in
tended and makes the people Of Web
ster City pay ten per cent more than
the legislature anticipated. And
what is true of Hamilton county in
this respect is true of the majority
of counties. In some counties the
increase was greater and in others
it was less. But the assumption Of
power by the executive council to
increase the general level of valua-
lions really makes it possible for
that body to levy and regulate all
taxes for state purposes. City coun-
ellis, school boards and township Of
ficers are blamable for part of the
increase and should be held respon-
sible to just that extent.

WHY NOT VICTORY?

The practical question for repub-
licans to consider Is not whether or
not Clarke can be elected if he is
nominated, but whether or not he
has rendered faithful and efficient
service. Has Clarke been honest and
faithful to his, oath of Office? Has
he been fair and impartial in the
discharge of his duties? If he has
been a man four square to all the
winds that blow, then he should be
supported by every republican who
believes in square dealing, regard
less of whether he wins or loses
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
This reminds one of the talk put
up by the partisans of President
Taft two years ago and would have
some weight if admitted that we
elect officers merely as reward. If
it means nothing to the people to
have the republican party win then
Gov. Clarke may as well be nomin-
ated, as Taft was in 1912. If the
party wants to make the acts of the
governor its platform and wants to
be on the defensive from the start,
merely because Gov. Clarke believes
he is right, then those who make
up the rank and file of the party
ought to support him, regardless of
the fact that no one really believes
he can be elected.
Suppose we grant that Clarke is
honest? Suppose we concede that
he has earned an endorsement and
that he has done his duty as he saw
it? Are the interests Of the people
to count as naught against the
claims of candidate? Why

TO LEAD IN BOLT?

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can continues to harp upon the elig-
Utility string with a persistence that
leads to the conclusion that it is get
ting ready to bolt the nomination Of
Judge Lee. OF course the Times
Republican would not want to see a
man elected governor OF Iowa who
could not assume the duties of the
office. Yet it is putting itself in a
position where it must bolt Judge
Lee or support a candidate whom it
infers could not qualify. In a re-
cent issue it says:
Thus it is plain that good lawyers
and wise judges like Ben Birdsall
are convinced that the eligibility
question is an important one. Gov
ernor Shaw appears to have had no
doubts on the meaning of the con-
stitution or certainly he would not
have refused an ex-district Judge a
commission as notary public which
would be granted to any lawyers
clerk.
1t would be pretty kettle of fish
in which to find the republican par
ty of Iowa were Judge Lee to be sue
cessful in the primary and declared
Ineligible to the office he seeks.
Wouldn't it?
The Times-Republican should
make it's meaning palmer. AS the
words stand, some are not unlikely
to assume that it is threatening a
bolt in the republican party against
the primary. nominee and some may
go further and understand that the
Times-Republican proposes to lead
the bolt. Those who have followed
the Marshalltown paper and march
ed side by side with it in campaigns
will be loath to give such meaning
to it's assertion. But it needs ex-
PLANTATION. Does the Times-Republi-
can mean that it will bolt Lee if
he shall be nominated, as seems
now practically certain II so, why
not say so?
There is too much of that kind of
talk going on. And there is no oc-
casion for it.

A GOOD PLATFORM.

Senator Chase desires that his
candidacy means that he will if
elected favor radical means for the
reduction Of taxation. He contends
that Gov. Clarke should have called
the legislature in special session af-
ter he raised the valuations that the
levies might have been correspond
ingly reduced. He opposed the tax
commission bill, the utilities COM
mission bill, the capitol extension
bill, the highway commission per-
manent roads bill, and secured the
passage OF the bill requiring all
railroad passenger depots to be
equipped with sanitary closets for
women and children. His record in
the senate places him clearly as a
leader and his work is for his con-
stituents and for the general inter-
ests of the state.-Eagle Grove
Eagle.
Senator Chase stands upon a good
platform. Evidently he takes little
stock in the statements of the Mar
shalltown Times-Republican, Regis
ter and Leader, Sioux City Journal
and other supporters of the high
takers and usurpers of the duties of
assessors that the republican party
must endorse the record of the gov
ernor and Of the executive council,
whether that record is in the inter-
est of the peovle or not. Mr.. Chase
is absolutely right about it. The
acts of any official are not the acts
Of the party and the party can re-
pudiate or endorse them just as the
voters who make up its membership
may elect. Capitol extension is not
a part of the code of republicanism.
In fact it was and is non-partisan
question. 1t was supported in the
legislature by both republicans and
democrats and was opposed by men,
bers of both parties. But Gov. Clarke
is trying to make it a party issue
and it will become a party issue if
he is re-nominated, just as the nom
ination of Taft made the record of
the Taft administration the policy
of the republican party. There is no
sense in the party assuming such a
position and entering the campaign
with a handicap that is bound to
founder it.

IS NOT TAKING SIDES.

The character of the fight being
made against E. T. Meredith, dem
ocratic candidate for United States
senator, has created for him some
sympathy in some republican cir
cles. The charge that he is not a
democrat, merely because he is a
member of the Grant club in Des
Moines, and has upon various occa-
sions said a good word for republic
cans and in a few instances has sup
ported republicans in preference to
democrats, is unfair. The further
inference put forward by Louis
Murphy, editor of the Dubuque Tele-
graph Herald, and who assumes to
be the mouthpiece of the admins
tration in Iowa, to the effect that
the defeat of Connolly in the demo-
cratic primaries would be a rebuke
to President Wilson, is contempt
able. Mr.. Connolly ought to stand
wholly upon his merits, as Mr.. Mer-
edith should stand, and let the ad-
ministration at Washington do the
same thing. However, Secretary
Bryan has effectually punctured the
claim of Mr.. Connolly's supporters
that he is backed by the admins
tration and his nomination is de-
manded as an endorsement of Will
son. In a recent letter to the Mere
dith campaign committee Mr.. Bryan
says:
81 am sure Mr.. Connolly has not
declared that President Wilson and
l are behind his candidacy.
"The president does not take part
in contests between democrats who
are candidates for nomination, and

The Weber Case.

Eds. Tribune: AS a tax
payer of Webster City, l wish to ex-
press my views of the Weber case
now pending in court. l cannot see
why our city council does not set
tie with this young man and save
not only the cost of lawsuit but
the honor of our city, for I believe
it would be impossible to get twelve
men together who would not give
Mr.. Weber a judgment and so throw
the costs of the suit upon the city.
In the long run it will cost the city
more than it would if our honorable
city council would settle the case
out of court. God knows that $780,
600 is nothing compared to what
this young man has lost, for he is
crippled in bad shape for life. I
doubt very much if any member of
the city council would take his place
for any amount of money. It seems
to me it would do Mr.. Weber more
good to pay him the money than to
spend it at having. It also seems
to me that the people ought to take
enough interest in this matter to
let our city council know how they
feel about it. I should like very
much to hear from other taxpayers.
believe those who furnish the
money ought to have something to
say about how it shall be spent.
Let's hear, Mr.. Taxpayer, what you
think about this matter.
Respectfully,
s. B. Bair.

LOWER TAXES.

If you want lower taxes elect a

things the legislature really has lit

figured upon the basis of former val
