The state papers are telling of the

BANK THE EXTRA TAXES?


In many counties taxes this year
are much higher than last year. This
Is what they are blaming Governor
Clarke for. because the executive
council increased the assessments, sit
ting as board Of equalization. The
Governors friends say that the coun-
~ supervisors could have avoided
that tax increase. II they had decreased
their levies accordingly That, we fear,
is true, although 1t may be hard on
some supervisors.
But we have thought out a way In
which the evils complained Of can be
overcome. or at least mitigated. We
all seem to be proceeding on the theory
that extra taxes paid in many counties
have to be spent this year. The super
visors and the trustees for the town
ships have the money and we seem to
be obsessed with the idea that they
must spend it, even if they have to
blow it in.
But that assumption is wrong. The
supervisors and the other tax expenders
do not have to spend all that comes in
We know of one county where the
farm taxes will be 45 per cent higher
than last year. the assessments having
been increased 20 that extent, and the
supervisors having failed to reduce the
levy.
Do the supervisors have to spend all
that As per cent additional money?
Will they not be almost criminals II
they do spent it? They got along last
| year without that extra money, why
can't they get along this year on what
they did last year!
| If they are really concerned about the
! tax payers, we will show them how to
| make that concern active and real.
| Let them take the excess taxes col
| lected this year and put them in the
i banks at interest, and then next when
| they come to make the levies. make
them enough lower to correspond. That
| is what we would insist on IL we were
| a member Of the board Of supervisors
J, a county that had failed to reduce
| its levies to correspond to the increase
in assessments. If supervisor wants
| to make a reputation, here is the OPP
| portunity-and we have pointed out
| the way for him to do it.
| 1t will be much more consistent for
! supervisors and trustees, and other tax
| expenders to follow this course than
! to proceed to spend moneys which they
do not need-and then blame the gov
ernor and the executive council for 1t.
Quit kicking and start bank ac-
count on the county's credit side.
! The county that we have referred
, to where the taxes are 40 per cent
| higher, on land. should put that Is per
cent, every dollar Of it, in the banks
with interest and then next year they
can make d reduction in the levies to
correspond with the moneys saved up
from this year.
1t is just a. matter OF business and
honesty in public administration. The
supervisors do not have to spend It,
| whoever is to blame for its collection
1t Is only the fool who spends his
money because he has it in his pocket
the wise man takes it out of his
pocket and puts 1t in the bank.
Let the supervisors the trustees and
SO on, put the extra taxes in the bank
land then there will be less kicking

OPENING THE BASEBALL SEASON
IMuscatine Journal

The season of training and elimina-
ton is over The serious business
of winning a pennant has commenced.
There was not loyal citizen of Mus
catine in all that crowd at the ball
park Wednesday afternoon who was
rot firmly convinced that another year
the rag will float in stately glory on
the banks OF the classic slough.
True, in seven other cities the
same confidence fills the hearts OF
thousands of other Central Association
fans Poor is the team and faint the
heart in a city where pennant hopes
do not flourish on the opening day of
the ball season. But in Muscatine we
are fortunate in that our hopes are
planted in the fertile soil Of reason
ableness and dope" Last year we
lost the pennant by nose. This year
veteran team will follow the gallant
Boyle while our successful foes Of last
year are scattered to the far winds Of
organized ball and the mighty crafty
Egan must needs whip an almost new
and untried aggregation into shape for
the fray.
Until last year Muscatine's exper-
fence in professional baseball had
been story of ups and downs with
the downs in the large majority.
Last year under the peerless leader
ship of Frank Boyle the ups had
their innings and the fans Of Musca-
tine revealed in the long denied pos
session OF winning team. The
prospects for the present season are
much better at the outset than We're
our opening prospects year ago.
Baseball fortune Is a tickle jade and
it is desperate business tapping your
pennant before you get it. but it is
the uncertainty that gives the finest
favor to the national game
1t is enough for US to know that
We have capable team and, brilliant
leader. that the lists are open
and the fray begun. Knowing this we
give full fling to hope and expectation
and no true fan pictures another sea
son without seeing the priced bunting
floating over the South End lot and the
Muskies boasting that best Of all base
ball nicknameS. The Champions"

TO REINFORCE
TESTIMONY OF
MRS.ROSENBERC
ATbECKERT TRIAL

New York. May 17.-There was every
indication Saturday that the state hoped,
before closing it's case against former
Police Lieutenant Charles Becker on
Monday, to present new and important
testimony reinforcing the evidence given
Friday by Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg, widow
of Lefty Louie" one of the four gum
men executed last month for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal. Mrs. Rosenberg
gave testimony linking Becker's name in
new way with the Rosenthal murder
conspiracy. The state hopes now, it is
understood, to put the sister of another
executed gunman, "Dago Frank" Giro
fict, on the stand, the inference being
that she is expected to present a new
version of the so-called last confession of
her brother. in which he was declared
to have insisted that Becker had moth
ing to do with the Rosenthal murder
plot.

A Dispute Over Late
Hours the Cause of
Tragedy in N.
II. Sunday
Woman Has Slight Chance but
He Blew off Own Head

Londonderry, n. H., May Thames
Irving Chase, &c years old, tried to
kill his wife. by emptying one barrel
of a heavy shotgun at her, severing an
artery in her wrist, and then blew the
top Of his own head off at their coun-
try home in this town this afternoon.
The woman bled profusely and fears
are entertained for her life Chase
died instantly. The double tragedy
was the result of a quarrel which
started at dinner.
Chase, according to the story of his
son and wife, who were in the kitch-
en- when the shooting occurred, was
out late Saturday night and complain
ed of feeling Ill when he arose this
mroning. He was marose all day. His
wife, the son says, chided him for re-
manning away from home last night,
and at dinner the argument became
so heated she threatened to call in
the neighbors.
Thereupon, Chase rushed from the
table to his room, reappearing a mo-
ment later with the gun and at once
fired at his wife. He returned into the
chamber again, fired the second bar
rel into his own head and was found
lying in pool of blood by his son a
moment later.

From Vera Cruz

Other Possibilities Of Campaign

Vera Cruz, May 177.-A detachment
from the Constitutionalists, who have
been campaigning along the coast
north of Vera Cruz, may be sent on a
short cut across the country direct

by military men here. That the Con-
stitutionalists will attempt to worry
the federals now in front of the Amer
lean lines. however, is considered
improbable.
1t is generally believed that the
greater part of the Constitutionalists
army under Gen. Gonzales will be sent
forward from Tampico to unite with
the main body of those in the inte-
rior in a campaign against Saltillo and
San Luis Potosi, but that those under
General Candida Aguilar, who occu-
pied Tuxpan, will be sent into the in
