Explanations That Don't Explain.

Governor Clark took considerable
time last Friday evening to figure up
the area of the new capitol grounds,
and his total was practically the same
as that given in the Nc Williams 'yel-
low circular" crawling out of the mat
ter by stating that the streets and
alleys in the extension were not bought
and that the lots purchased covered
only 40.1 acres. But the essential
thing in the whole capitol extension
matter is, why is it necessary to have
capitol grounds in this state times as
large as that of Illinois, which contains
one city with a population as large ss
that of Iowa; Is acres more than is
needed for our great national capitol
at Washington; seven times as large as
the capitol of Minnesota, and 20 acres
more than is needed for the capitols of
illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin and Mime.
sofa combined. For whose benefit is
it, the people of Iowa or the real estate
boosters of DesMoines?

That Big Bulge.

Brother Barth, in this weeks Times
takes just pride in proclaiming to the
world that his taxes for 1918 are all
paid-lucky editor. He is entirely sat.
isfied with the amount paid for capitol
extension. and is willing to pay more

ters can work through the legislature
il they succeed in deluding the people
of Iowa on the capitol extension meas
ure.
Z But we suggest that he explain the
"big bulge" on the farmers tax re.
ceipts.
We took the trouble to examine a
few records in the county treasurer's g
Office concerning taxable valuations
and taxes paid on five representative
farms in Vernon Springs township,
close to Cresco, for the years 1912 and
1913, the latter tax being the first
levied during the Clarke administra.

Gov. Clark Should Share the Blame.

Governor Clarke, after making an
extended argument to show that the
capitol extension tax was no tax at all,
was SO intent on making out good
case for himself that he laid the blame
for the appropriations which made the
levies necess ary onto the state legisla-
ture, which includes Representa- We
Elwood whose vote was recorded with
the rest of the tax boosters. He ex-
planned at length how he, with the
other members of the executive coun-
Gil. did not levy the taxes, but simply
acted as an equalizing board. Bo.h of
these statements are true. But why
did he not 60 on and tell that if he did
not approve OF the appropriations
made by the legislature, he could ex-
ercise the veto, which meant as much
power to prevent extravaganza as two
thirds of the entire vote of the legis-
lature. 1t was mighty small of him to
lay all the blame on the legislature.
