For EquaIizIns Tax burdens.

We adopt as our recommendation
to the legislature Of the state of Iowa,
in the language of Governor Clarke:
That no more OF the peoples money
shall be taken than Is necessary for a
government SO administered; that for
every dollar taken there shall be real
lied its full value in a permanent
public good; that our revenue laws
in the matter OF assessments shall be
obeyed or revised to the end that
there shall be equality of sacrifice as
between individuals and uniformity as
between taxing districts and coun-
ties, and to the end that tax levies may
be very greatly reduced and Iowa
known not as a land Of high taxes.
but as land of assessments at fair
actual value and very moderate rates"
And we recommend to the legislature
such further legislation as may be
necessary to submit to the vote OF the
people an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the state Of Iowa for the taxa
ton OF railroads. express and tele-
graph companies, ETC., and exempting
and divorcing the counties entirely
from taxation for state purposes.

Iowa Republican State Platform

The democratic party has been In
complete control of the national gov
eminent for less than q year and q
half. In that brief period 1t has turn
lad the general prosperity Of 1912 into
the general depression Of 1914. It has
injured the producer without benefit
to the consumer. It has destroyed the
profit Of the home manufacturer with
out increasing the wages Of labor and
without reducing the price which the
people must pay. It has increased our
imports. diminished our exports and
reduced the volume of our domestic
production without lessening the cost
Of living.
It has transferred to foreign coun.
tries the work formerly done at home
and great numbers OF our working
men and women are now without en-
ployment. It has opened our ports to
vast quantities Of agricultural pro-
ducts so that the markets of our coast
cities are filed with corn and beef
from South America, butter and eggs
from Asia and wheat and barley from
thus driving our farmers from
their own market places without low
ering the cost of any of these things
to the man who consumes them.

Unwise Foreign Policy.
It has revised our financial system
by Strengthening the lender without
adding to the facilities of the borrow
er. 1t has established foreign pol
icy which will inevitably involve US
in those entangling alliances which
our forefathers labored SO earnestly
to avoid, and which, If carried for
ward, will fasten upon us the perpet-
ual hostility Of our sister republics OF
this continent, unless we are willing
to submit to the pillage OF our public
treasury to satisfy their demands.
It has filed many of our high Of
fees with appointees not in sympathy
with the body Of the people. and the
less important places by a return to
the spoils system.
In all these things. or the proof OF
which we appeal to the common
knowledge of the people, the demo-
cratic party has again exhibited its
to conduct the affairs Of
a great nation.

BY BLACkMAILERS

CHICAGO, March 30.-The "Mann
act" game has replaced the old Dad
ger" game as a means Of swindling
amorous men of wealth out of their
money, according to statements made
today by federal white slave investi
gators.
"At least dozen attempts to
blackmsil wealthy men by threaten
ing prosecution under the white slave
law have been reported to my office
in the past year." declared United
States District Attorney Wilkerson,
today. $50 far we have been unable
to procure enough evidence to obtain
indictments for blackmail."
Federal agents pointed to the case
Of wealthy Texan who met an at
tractive woman here several months
ago, as an instance of attempted
blackmail. The woman, according to
the Texans story, induced him to pay
her fare to st. Louis. When they ar
rived there, he told federal authori-
ties, . man called him over the tele-
phone and threatened to cause his ar

$4,000. The Texas complained to

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
AT FORT LEWIS SCHOOL

Fully one hundred people were in
attendance at the commencement ex-
ercises at Fort Lewis Saturday, when
Orin Reeder and Robert Mccullough,
the members OF the first graduation
class at the agricultural school, re-
ceived their diplomas.
The festivities proceeding the ex-
ercises commenced Friday evening
when a reception was given for DR..
Lory and the members of the gradu-
ating class. Excellent music was
rendered by Principal Kelley of the
Gunnison normal and Mrs. r. w.
Calkins, of Cortez. DIR. Lory gave
a short address in which he outlined
some of the financial difficulties un-
der which the school had been con-
Quoted and the reasons why, during
the past two years, the school has re-
ceived such small portion of its ap-
preparation. Last year it operated
on less than 80 per cent of the appro-
priation and this year less than 25.
Principal Kelley followed DR.. Lory
giving brief but very interesting ad-
dress on conditions at Gunnison, COM
pairing them with those existing at
Fort Lewis. The evening closed with
social session, music, games and
refreshments being the features.
40 al rI, kn
scene of the commencement exercises,
was prettily decorated in white and
green bunting and a wonderful array
of potted plants and cut flowers. The
excellent music was in charge of Mrs.
George West, Mrs. r. w. Calkins and
Prin. Kelley, the latter filling the
place of Miss Fitzgerald. who was
unable to take part in the program on
account of illness. DR.. Lory deliver
ed very profitable address, COM
pairing the superior advantages of
our time with those of the genera
tions that have gone before. The
central though of his talk was the
necessity of better citizens. making
it plain it is debt that every per-
son educated in the public schools to-
day owes the government and the
state.
The two young graduates presented
very able addresses on timely SUBJ
jects. At the close Of the exercises
DR.. Lory instructed Principal Snyder
to state that the school would be con-
tinued next year with an increased
faculty and better equipment.
Yesterday Dean Smith delivered
the baccalaureate sermon. which was

~wARLIKE Benz TILLMAN
IS wARLIKE NO LONGER
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
-"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, erstwhile
proponent Of the arts Of bars, has be-
come = senatorial Aescalapius. He
has abandoned the warlike strenuous
ness Of the earlier days for the gentle
art of hygiene and living right. Gone
is the love Of battle that gave the
senator from South Carolina pic
turesque reputation ten years ago.
"Old Ben Tillman" as he styles him
self, now has the gentle "art of living
right" as his main hobby.
The senator told the senate all
about It the other day. He was dis
cussing his resolution to prohibit
smoking in the senate chamber dur
ing executive sessions. Incidentally
he made one Of the best little sermons
on clean living that has been heard
before. But it was violent change
from the Ben Tillman Of yore, who
used to breathe fire and adjectives
worthy Of Roosevelt, to see the sem
| Tor South Carolina solon quietly and
calmly elucidate his platform Of
health.
"Since my illness four years ago"
he said, ~ have learned more about
| the human body than during the bal
ance of my life put together and am
sure l have discovered some of the
secrets Of nature. The pity of it is
had to ruin my health before | dis
covered these things and learned how
to live nationally. Had | lived ten
years ago as am doing now, my
health never would have broken down
at all.
~ believe I could lengthen the life
of every man in this chamber from
six to fifteen years if could only
get them to believe what l tell them
and follow my advice.
81 owe what degree of recovery l
have made-and I am constantly be-
ing told / look a great deal better,
and I know it is soto will power
and self-control in eating; the will
power to exercise my muscles and
nerves sufficiently to give them tone
and keep the rust out of the joints,
but the greatest health help to my
health arises from the self-control
which enables me to keep from eat
ing things l ought not to.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the great mortality among senators is
due to the way we live in Washing
ton. The life here is indeed an ardu-
GUS one; the mental strain is immense.
There is continuous succession of
banquets, dinners and receptions
Automobiles and street cars are used
by senators instead of walking, and
pure air and sunshine are things of
which we get too little. There is no
surer way to undermine the health
than eating too much or eating ir-
regularly.
"There is nothing more deadly than
to breathe air that has already beer
breathed by others and thus robbed OF
its oxygen besides being poisoned in
other ways. The ventilation of this
chamber is poor and when we increase
its impurities by tobacco smoke, as is
being done all the while, the air is
very unwholesome and unhealthy"
The senate agreed to abolish smok-
ing during executive sessions. The
non-smoking rule during open ses-
sions has been in force for more than
a dozen years.
