part Of the regular property Of the
! state to maintain and keep up, and
there rs practically no limit to the tax
that the legislature will be called upon
to levy to maintain this park, with its
drives, streets, avenues, malls, walks
ments," 1t will make the taxpayers
hustle to keep this up.
This capitol grounds matter is Just
ONE Of the unnecessary expenses put
upon the taxpayers by the last legis-
lature without consent or knowledge Of
the people. The Courier wants it dis
tinctly understood that it is not criti-
cising any levy made for necessary ex-
penses and expansion of our state insti-
buttons. The Courier further wants to
state that efforts now being made by
newspapers and few people to COM
pare the levies for the conduct of our
state institutions with the levies that
were made to pay for such schemes as
buying this immense acreage around
the capitol, and to pay the salaries Of
new Offices that were created and
many Of the other increases in salaries
that were made, are simply efforts to
deceive and confuse taxpayers. The
right of legislature and an admins
tration to levy taxes for the conduct
of the states business, does not carry
with it the right to levy taxes to pay
salaries connected with lot Of unnec-
essary Offices that may be created for
political friends, and to unnecessarily
burden the people without their con-
sent.
The Courier has had many requests
to publish the vote Of the house and
senate on this bill, and It herewith
follows:
The senators who voted for the cap
itol extension are:
Allen, Ames, Arney, Balkema, Bal
luff, Boo. Clarkson, Cowles, Crist, Crow

payers without their consent or kncwl-
edge. This plat Is the original plat
taken from the official journal Of the
house of the last legislature. The
area Of land covered by this plat is a
little over SO acres. Deducting the
amount now occupied by the capitol
(Which is about eleven acres) and a
few scattered lots the state now owns
across the streets from the capitol
It shows that the real estate boosters
put through deal loading on the tax
payers Of the state between 70 and II
acres Of property that are now covered
with buildings or improvements.
We have never seen before In any
paper statement giving the exact
number OF acres OF ground covered by
this proposition. One Of the Des
Moines papers stated that it took in
approximately forty acres. That fell
a little short of half of the truth, be-
cause this plat covers more than 70
acres of ground after deducting that
already owned and occupied by the
state capitol, soldiers monument and
historical building. The total amount
of ground In the plat is 1894 acres.
These figures are made from the OFF,
cial plat by one Of the most competent
civil engineers in this state.
The taxpayers of the state have to
pay for taking these buildings down
and hauling them away, for digging up
the foundations and filling up the Gel
lars, for tearing up the sidewalks and
streets and curb stones and paving,
and hauling that material away, and
hauling back into those places, dirt to

Dick was thoroughly disgrun-

This is a splendid trait in Dick.
He will give me all his money

of it is it works both ways and he
gives it to anyone else who asks
him when he has it.

hat should be light and should
not be worn SO tightly on the head
