The legislature made the fixed
levies for state purposes upon the
basis of former valuations, hence
the action of the executive council
in greatly increasing valuations is
responsible for the collection of a
large sum of money in excess of the
amount which the legislature deem
ed necessary. That is what the peo-
pie are complaining of. Iowa is not
prone to be stingy, but Iowa is op-
posed to extravaganza, from the
state house down to constable.

If President Wilson and congress

President Wilson is finding it
hard to make the country believe
that there is not to be war with
Mexico. When orders are given to
seize a Mexican port it looks as
though war might be among the
possibilities.

WHAT WILL HISTORY
THIS WAR?

When the smoke of battle clears
away, peace arrangements accepted,
and boundaries rearranged-th
what will this war be called?
It is a little early for conjecture,
but the HISTORIANS of the future must
have a name for the gigantic conflict
now raging. Just as the string of
events that ended at Waterloo were
known as the Napoleonic wars, as
our fight for independence is known
as the War Of the Revolution, our
later conflict as the Civil War-just
so must the present war have name
that will briefly cover it in volumes
that will be written about it in the
decades to come.
European war" hardly covers it,
since Japan is in it, together with the
gigantic colonies of the nations in
VoIved. Participation of the Mikado's
warriors, India, Russia in Asia, Aus
tralia. the African colonies and the
island possessions of the sea will not
permit the conflict to be localized by
the name European War"
It's a little early to guess, but
''World War" which people like to
call it now, seems to be the name
that will live in history.

REGIsTER TOMORROW

Editor Day Book:-In our opinion
the light registration on Oct. 3 is to
be explained largely on the ground
that the newspapers did not bring
home to the voters the necessity of
registering with the same effective
ness that they have done in former
years.
Through our organizations we
have done, and will continue to do,
all that lies in our power to bring
out a full registration of the voters
on Oct. Is. We feel, however, that
if the newspapers would take the
matter up and would urge the voters
to register with the insistence that
they have urged it on other Occa-
sions the result will be far more sat-
isfactOry than if the political organi-
cations alone are at work bringing
out the voters.
We realize the demand that the
European war is making upon the
space of the papers. We do feel, how
ever, that it is important that there
should be a full expression of the
voters on election day. This cannot
be had unless the voters are regis
tered on Oct. Is.
We believe that we are working in
the public interest in respectfully re-.
questing the various newspapers of
the city to emphasize, between now
and Oct. Is, the necessity of every
man and woman registering who did
not register on Oct. 3. Respectfully
submitted.-A. J. SABBATH, Chairman,
Democratic County Committee;
David F. Matchett, Chairman, Re-
publican County Committees. M. J.
Dempsey Chairman, Progressive
County Committee.

WEBER AND FIELDS.

For the first time in the history
of the local theatre, patrons OF The
PLAYHOUSE will have an opportunity
of seeing the famous team OF Weber
and Fields and their own company
as the management has arranged for
the appearance here Of the comedians
for one performance next Monday
night. April 18th. II is doubtful If
any theatrical celebrities for fun
making enjoy the reputation enjoyed
BY Joe Weber and Lew Fields. Al
the time Weber and Fields separated
seven years ago, they had enjoyed
greater popularity than any other
American comedians. Two years ago
Mr.. Weber and Mr.. Fields Joined
forces again and have repeated their
former successes, If not excelling
them as il is doubtful If ever in the
heights of their career at the Music
Hall, as pretentious piece as
"Hokey-P -Pokey" (the present success)
was ever produced. The famous
beauty chorus, which was always the
talk of the town." is just as beauti.
full and youthful as ever and in
Weber-Fields production, youth mus

audience, scored the biggest success

In all of his scenes, Mr.. Mantell
was master. He was strong when
strength was required, subtle In deal

of the time, diplomatic In controlling
the weak and yaccillating Louis XIII,
and, above all, never failing in his
love for France. From the rise Of the
curtain until the last act, the aud
ience was kept In rapt attention.
In the last act where the famous old
cardinal, on the brink of the grave.

of his country, and send them into

sidered one of the best pieces Of act
