John T. Hamilton, business and
economy candidate for governor, is
more than holding his own against the
opposition when it comes to his at
tacks on the high cost of government
in Iowa. The following from the Ced-
ar Rapids Evening Gazette, an inde-
pendent republican paper, shows how
little progress is being made against
Mr.. Hamilton's fight on high taxes:
Charge Unanswered.
Several times, since the Cedar Rap.
Ids gubernatorial candidates agent
began to busy himself, the bulletins
sent to the state newspapers have
been regular stem-winders. The most
recent morsel possessed of political
nourishment was distributed under
the date line of August eighteenth. So
far it has not been answered with
any degree of force by the party
which hopes to put the democratic
leader in oblivion. This bulletin per-
tanned to the expense to which Iowa
is put every year for the purpose of
good, bad or Indifferent government.
One is inclined to draw his breath
and emit noisy, ''Whew!" when he
reads the figures contained in the
item. To say the least, they are en-
tightening, If not startling. They
show that the states expenses have
been doubled in the last ten years IN
spite of the fact that calamity howlevs
have been shouting about decreases
in population, resources, etc. Here
are the figures:

TIME TO "sLow DOWN.

The Des Moines Tribune says that
what John T. Hamilton, the demo
cratic candidate for governor, wants
is Iowa to slow down" Well, it looks
as if every one in the world has to
slow down. They will have to slow
down in Europe, too, or they will
"bust." Slowing down is process
that is not to be entirely despised. II

The Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette,
an independent republican paper pub

Hamilton, is the best evidence of what
the home folks" think of him. The
Gazette tells of his business career
and qualifications, which admirably
equip him to give Iowa businesslike
administration as governor, and con-
tinues in a statement of his long and
honorable public career. Mr.. Hamil-
ton Is candidate for governor on a
business and economy platform but
he is admirably fitted to take the Of
fee as a statesman. The Gazette
says:
Long a Democratic Leader.
Mr.. Hamilton's business interests,
extensive, varied and important as
they are, do not cover the field OF his
activities, for in public relations Mr..
Hamilton has done work as effective,

business interests. He has been .

party in Iva for many years and in
1873 was called to the mayoralty, thus
guiding the municipal affairs of the
city after a residence here of only
ten years. I'm the early SOS he was

and honored with the speakership in
the twenty-third assembly-the year

SIS Iowa to repudiate the present
state administration of high state
taxes and extravagant expenditures"
That is the question Iowa politicians
now are trying to solve. Present in
dications are that it will be answered
in the affirmative at the general cleo
ton in November.
The general rebellion of the voting
population against the high cost OF
state government seems sure to result
in the election Of John T. Hamilton,
business and economy candidate for
governor, who is making his campaign
on the high tax issue. His fight on
state extravaganza and high taxation
is winning great favor with each pass
ing day of the campaign.
Strong for Hamilton.
So strong is the sentiment for Ham
ilton that workers have been amazed
at the following he has developed as
the result of his issue against high
taxes. The voters are everywhere ap-
proving his policy OF a business-like
and economical administration for the
state.
State expenses have practically
doubled in the last ten years and the
taxes on farm lands are showing an
increase of about so per cent in many
counties of the state for this year.
This means the outbreak which has
come, even among tnose who in for
mer years have been loyal followers
Of the present administration, as well
as the statewide demand for the lop.

other state extravagances. such as the
two million expenditure Of state funds
for seventy-acre park around the
state capitol building.
Figures Prove Case.
Actual figures are available in prac-
tically every county in the state to
show that taxes on farm lands have
been increased from 80 to so per cent
and that taxes On main line railroads
have been reduced. Following are
figures taken at random from a few
counties. They show taxes paid from
1912 and 1913:

what is being done in Iowa.

may well have confidence that he will

Chicago, November 6.-American League club owners closed their annual conven- tion today with the two most important problems before them unsoved. Peace with the Federal league appeared no nearer, in spite of all the debate on the subject, and no change in ownership in the New York club was announced.
 It was declared no formal discussion of the New York club ownership had taken place. but it was noted that Frank Farrell of the clupA and James Lannin of the Boston club. Farrell's leading sup porter, remained here tonight after the other magnates had left. A shake-up in the membership of the New York club was considered advisable by some mag mates as a preliminary to an attempt to strengthen the team in the metropolis.
 Everybody admitted that terms on which peace with the Federal league could be reached would not be possible until after long negotiations.
 Charles Somers of the Cleveland club was reelected vice president of the league without opposition, and the board of d- rectors for the ensuing year will include representatives of the Chicago, Cleveland, New York and Boston clubs.

 Contrary to his usual custom Coach Graves refused to make any statement whatsoever regarding the outcome of the battle. In monosylabic replies the Grim son chieftain averred that his team was in good condition, that he supposed they were confident of the. outcome, and that the game ought to be hard fought. He agreed that the Sewanee eleven usually carries a bundle of surprises and was likely to upset the dope; he smiled to hear the betting odds showed public sentiment favored his team to win; but he resolutely and absolutely refused to comment, pre- dict or in any other way commit himself regarding the outcome of the game.
 Coach Graves reticence. however, can- not be taken to mean that he is appre- hensive of the game today The whole atmosphere surrounding the Crimson boss breathed optimism.

MONEY EASY ON SIX MONTHS TIME LOANS
Stock Exchange May Re- move Restrictions Against
 Operations in Market

New York, November 6.-Two develop ments of distinct significance were re- corded in the financial situation today
 One was the rather free lending of six months money at 5% per cent on mixed collateral, as against the long standing 6 per cent rate, and the other was one sale of the New York city per cent three year notes, which were issued at par, at
 a price to yield only $40S per cent. Inci- dentally, commercial paper was accepted
 fer the shorter periods at fraction
 under per cent.
 In line with this general improvement,
 it was also learned that the stock ex-
 change authorities will within short time order the removal of certain restric- tons which have operated against the purchase and sale of high class secnri- ties. It is not implied, however, that any thing like regular operations will be per- mitted.
