BIG AUDIENCE HEAR GOVERNOR
Gov. Clarke's Address i'm DecOrah
Thursday Showed He Stands
For Honesty, Economy
and Good Government

|
Geo. w. Clarke, of Iowa, arrived in
Decorah, and spoke for about two
hours on state issues to a large and
enthusiastic audience, made up
mostly of heavy tax payers of the
county, who had left their work to
hear the statement of taxation from
the chief executive himself, and
when the governor had finished ev-
cry voter and tax payer present went
away feeling that Iowa's governor
stood for honesty, economy and good
government.
He gave the aud; clear and
comprehensive statement of all the
facts about taxation, and why taxes
now are higher than they ought to
be in many counties through Iowa.
| He showed them how law requires
the Executive Council to equalize
the valuation as between the differ
ent counties so as to make the tax
payers in the state share the burden
OF taxation equally. The executive
council does not levy dollar of
tax on anybody, the levies are made
by the Board of Supervisors, the
city councils and SO on. Taxes are
levied on the basis of what is need
ed for the year in the respective tax
district. If the Executive Council
raises the valuation the persons in
charge Of each taxing district
whether county, twp. or corpora
tion should lower the levy or mill
age accordingly to raise the neces-
sary amount needed. If they don't
the taxpayers are over{axed and
more money is collected than neces-
sary for the year.
Taxes being unnecessarily high
this year the taxpayers should not
put the blame ON the Executive
Council, but PUT the blame where it
belongs.
The statement of millage for
each fund is to be found on the
back of every Tax Receipt, anybody
tcan and ought 10 figure out for him
self, and ought not to take anybodys
word for it. The Governor said he
had nothing to conceal from the tax
payers Or the people of Iowa; they
should know all about it, they should
know the truth. What he had done
in these matters was only his duty
under the law, and had no apology
to make.
AS to the yarns circulated all over
the state about extension of the cap
ital grounds, the Governor plainly
exhibited the falsehoods in their
/ true light. A statement is made
that eighty-three acres have been
bought where as the amount Of
acres acquired by the state under
this act amounts to, only SO acres.
He recommended it because it was
in his judgment necessary The
legislature passed the law because
they deemed it necessary and ur-
gent Extension of the Capital
grounds were recommended as far
back as the time of Governor Lar
rabee, and far seeing progressive
men who have visited our capital for
years and years back have expressed
regret that more grounds were not
acquired.
The governor remained in Decor
ah Thursday night, and attended
the play at the Grand Thursday
evening in company with County
Chairman r. j. Hook and Hon j..
NJ. Enger. On Friday morning he
appeared at the Decorah high school
and Luther College, where he deliv-
cred excellent talks to the stu
dents. The governor made great
impression in Decorah and won a
large number of new admirers.

The G~raingrowers pulled the first
hair. In the second inning Unglaub's
kids fell onto Cunningham and bNtted
two runs in. Then Grina was called
upon by Mr.. O'Brien, but Grina Jared

in.

they got it. They got six runs on
two hits. With the bases loaded
Scotty Dye got excited, juggled an
easy %grounder and then heaved it
wild to the plate and before the ball
could be brought back the bases had
been cleared.
The G~raingrowers tied 1t up by

strong in the last of the ninth and
