COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa. July 3D.
Resolutions of united democracy ex
pressing confidence in the administers
ton of President Wilson and declaring
for an economical administration OF
state affairs were feature OF the
democratic state convention In session
mere to-day. The resolutions approx
ing President Wilson covered the en-
tire national situation. There was nc
opposition toward placing the state
on record as an administration state
The resolutions declaring for econ
omy in state affairs were more com
plicated. The search light was thrown
on the entire state government. Not
on the legislature alone or not on the
governor and his aides alone, but
upon both the legislature and Cover.
nor Clarke and his aides. The stand
was taken that the republicans can no
longer juggle the responsibility for
high taxes. Special attention was
called to the fact that one-half the In
crease goes into the general revenue
fund and that the rest Is divided up
among the state institutions, the cap
dtal grounds extension, the agricultur-
al extension, the state agricultural and
state university funds
1t was claime4 that in the past the
republican administration has been
able to escape the responsibility in
some small degree by picking out one
OF the half dozen or more funds and
then attempting to show that the in
crease does not amount to so very
much.
Democrats today bore down on the
fact that the increase shows up more
distinctly on one great fund alone.
There was considerable Grating also
on the increase in tho number of
boards as responsible for large part
OF the extravagance.
The state board Of control came in
for some hard knocks also. Some Of
the democrats expressed the belief
that the board was OF no benefit to che
state, that 1t has developed into an
institution to keep men In prison
rather than one to get them out.

-FOUR MILLION IN INTEREST

Four million of dollars interest on

state of Ohio.
That is a proud achievement which
State Treasurer John p. Brennan her
aided to the people of Ohio recently.
1t eclipses the record of all the other
states in the Union, with respect to
the earning capacity OF public monies.
Several years ago a plan was start
ed to ascertain to what extent the pub

were misused. The disclosures shock
ed the state and ruined the Republican
party.
No bona fide effort was made to
place the state treasury balance on a
satisfactory earning basis until a
Democratic state administration was
inaugurated in Columbus when the
state balance was deposited on the
competitive bidding plan. During the
past five years total of $976,000 OF
interest has been turned into the state
treasury. And all OF this would have
been stolen, but for the change,

IMPROVED
Service And Some Important
Changes
Announced By Mt. Vernon
Telephone Company

The Mt. Vernon patrons of the local
telephone company are to be treated
to improved service In some important
changes which are now about COM
pleted on the switchboard.
This company has, since 1t first
commenced business, given its patrons
larger and better service every year
and has kept pace with the many i'm
provements made in apparatus. 1t is
now using the third switchboard at
Mt. Vernon in seventeen years time
and is expending over $4,000 on the
present board for changes that will
not increase the earnings, but will
give to subscribers quicker and more
efficient results, and make this switch
board equal to the latest improved
type now made.
When these changes are completed
and Mt Vernon subscriber wants to
talk to rural subscriber on the Mt.
Vernon exchange, or with party at
Fredericktown or Gambler, they can
ask the operator for the number of the
rural subscriber wanted, or for Fred
ericktown or Gambler as wanted.
This eliminates asking for rural
which has been necessary in the past
and removes the cause for frequent
delay in securing the desired party.
hA In
creased number of calls by reason of
the free service between various ex-
! changes and the difficulty in provid-
ing for this within lint of cost.
This extensive service makes tele.
phone valuable. Practically every
| store, factory, office, or other business
pace in Knox county has the MT. Yer
non company's telephone and the few
who do not provide this service de
prive themselves of one of the most
sure ways of increasing business and
saving time which is money. It is nc
longer luxury or convenience but IL
is a necessity. Every home, also
should have Mt. Vernon company
telephone
A new county directory will be is
sued soon which will be printed in ac
cordance with these changes in the
switchboard operation. The compan!
now has more subscribers than eve
before with the number increasing
each month.
Any one wanting a telephone o
wanting any change in location shoul'
notify the wire chief so the work cal
be done promptly and the name an,
address be correct in the new direc
tory.

LISTING PERSONAL PROPERTY

columbus Journal, Republican,
In his speech at Canton, Governor
Cox referred to a man who returned
$50O,OO0 of personal property this year
that had never been returned before.
why? Because under the Warnes
law, an assessment had been made by
an appointed and not by an elected
assessor. For years, the elected as
SCISSOR had passed him by; and other
and poorer people had been paying the
taxes to keep up the government,
while the rich man paid nothing. Talk
about equality Of mankind! Why this
old system of assessment knocked it
silly, and it not only served equality
this way, but 1t gave religion a black
eye.
The new law regarding assess
ment Is changing this abuse. From all
over the state come reports of In
creased duplicates. Millions of dollars
are being added to the taxation lists.
There is more than a question of
money in this change. The chief
thing Is the establishment OF honesty,
justice and equality, which are the
cornerstones of real republic. To
stand by these purposes is the duty
of every citizen, regardless of politics
Let the good work go on. Let the
assessor approach his duty kindly,
candidly and fearlessly, for he is en-.
gagged In a great public duty.
