SIT TIGHT, DON'T ROCK THE
BOAT,

The following from Golfers
Weekly, carries an important mes
sage which should be given careful
thought by every voter in the state
of Iowa:
"In the congressional elections
next month the democrats are likely
to prevail. Chiefly it is Wilson who
is going to carry the party through.
There is widespread recognition OF
his high mindedness and earnestncss.
Disapproval of his Mexican policy is
entirely submerged in contemplation
of the horrors of war in Europe.
Such economic mistakes as the demo-
cratic party may be charged with are
overlooked in the larger economic
crisis which is forced upon us by
Europe Wilson's handling of this
larger crisis has been thoughtful,
sure, and as successful as any critic
could have demanded. Aside from
the personal tribute to Wilson, the
democratic vote this fall is going to
be very generally case of sit tight,
and don't rock the boat In times
of crisis, actual and threatened, like
the present, the human instinct is to
pause, to preserve the status quo
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1914-10-22

Not only do we need good men for
state officers to look after the fin
ances, but another thing very essen
tial to the taxpayer is that we have
good men on the board of supervis
ors, who will see that the money col
lected in county taxes is economical
ly expended Such men we have in
the two democratic candidates for
members of the board, H. T. Rauch,
of Fayette township, and l.. P. Hast
ings, of Franklin township. Both
are farmers, men of experience in
business, careful and painstaking in
their own business affairs and they
would give the same careful atten-
ton and consideration to the affairs
of the county. They are the kind of
men the taxpayers want to attend to
their business. See that you place a
cross in front of their names when
you cast your ballot this year.

GOVERNOR CLARKE'S RECORD.

Geo. w. Clarke, republican candl-
date for governor of Iowa, and the
present incumbent, opposed the two
cent railroad fare bill in the 31st
General Assembly
sion graft, and said the proudcst mo-
ment of his life was when he signed
the Capitol Extension bill.
He has insisted on the higher as
sessment of real estate, saying that
the lands of Iowa were not assessed
at one-nalf their value, and as a
member of the Executive Council
was instrumental in increasing the
assessed value of Iowa real estate,
and at the same time he favored ex-
emption of monies and credits from
taxation.
AS governor of Iowa he made
haste to put into effect the capitol
extension law, when he knew that
the voters of Iowa were overwhelm-
ingly opposed to said law, showing
his contempt for the welfare of the
common people of the state. General
ly he has been on the side of the tax
consumer and never on the side OF
the tax payer.
Voters OF Decatur county, do you
want a man with that kind of a
record to be elected for Governor OF
the State of Iowa? If you do not
vote against him by voting for John
T. Hamilton, the democratic candi-
date for governor.
If Mr.. Hamilton is elected govern
or, he will do all in his power to Sc
cure a just and equitable assessment
of all forms of property He would
sincerely strive to lower taxation
and at the same time not impair tho
public service.
Voters of Decatur county, com
pare your tax receipts for the past
two years with former years, and
ask yourself why this great increase
in taxation? What has the people OF
Iowa to show for it?

Study your tax receipt this year.
You will find that this year you had
to pay material increase in state
taxes. Your farm land was increas-
ed in valuation by the republican
state executive council FL per cent.
You pay the same millage tax as you
did the previous year on the lower
valuation. The republican admins
tration has carried on things with an
extravagant hand Why not elect a
democratic state administration and
see whether they will increase your
taxes like they have increased under
the present republican administra-
ton.

office as it should be run, without

Governor Clarke is reported to
have remarked when he signed the
capitol extension bill, that it was
the proudest moment in his life.
He is proud of the fact that
the taxes of the farmers of Iowa
are increased to crafty his per-
sonal whim that Iowa should
have farm of SO acres for state
capitol grounds, even if it does cost
the hard working farmer of Iowa
millions to purchase and improve the
land, to say nothing of the big ex-
pense of keeping up such park. Is
Governor Clarke looking after the in
terests of the people of Iowa. Let
your tax receipt answer this ques-
ton.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1914-10-22

Mr.. Farmer: Are you going to vote
to increase your taxes by extrava-
CANT expenditure in buying an enor-
nous tract of land for state capitol
grounds, or are you opposed to pay
ing for such extravaganza as has
been thrust upon the taxpayers Of the
state? The capitol extension was
fostered by Governor Clarke, and
they will keep on saddling additional
taxes on you, unless you register
your veto of such extravaganza,
which you can do by voting for a
democratic governor and for demo-
cratic state officers.

Walter Osborn, the democratic
candidate for county auditor, has
been assessor in Burrell township
for several years. He has made a
record as an efficient and careful Of
fetal. His assessor books are models
of neatness and he knows how to
write real estate descriptions so as to
avoid errors in assessments. He is a
fine young man, who would make a
most popular and accommodating
public official, and everybody who
had any business to transact in the
auditors Office would receive the
same cordial treatment at his hands.
Isn't that the kind of man you like
to do business with? We think 1t is,
and we think the voters of Decatur
county are going to say they want
Walter Osborn to serve as auditor
for the next two years.

Mr.. Taxpayer, just examine the
tax receipt you received from the
county treasurer this year and see if
you ever paid higher taxes. Then
remember that it was a republican
governor and republican executive
council which is responsible for the
increased burden placed upon you,
and also remember that the only way
you can get away from further in
creases is by electing a democratic
governor and state ticket. Vote for
your own interests this year, not for
party name.
