erty for taxing purposes, in the judy
ment of the governor, is the only
remedy which will effect cure OF
our present ills.
The conspicuous feature OF the
governors speech was its absolute
fairness. There was not the slightest
effort at equivocation or evasion. Mr..
Clarke did not attempt to gain favor
for himself at the expense Of the
Legislature, boards of supervisors, edu-
cationaI boards or any other group of
people. He merely set forth the fact
that our system OF taxing had not
only been crude, but such laws as
were on the statutes had been ignor-
ed. The present executive council
was confronted with a mandate from
the legislature In the form OF law
requiring them to perform a specific
duty in the matter of fixing values for
taxing purposes. They sre confront
ed with an order from the district
court of Polk county requiring that
they obey this law. The members OF
the council had taken a solemn oath
to obey these laws. With painstaking
cara they proceeded to perform this
duty just as fairly as they knew how.
No unprejudiced nearer who list
ened to Governor Clarke's earnest
and fair presentation of this case left
the room with the slightest doubt in
his mind as To his honesty and integ
rity OF purpose. Indeed, 1t was very
clear to all who heard this magnifi-
cent address that Iowa has man in
the governors ONCE who measures
up to its dignities and possibilities
in the fullest and completest sense.
Never before has the governor of this,
or any other state taken frTner or
mora manly stand for rigid and fair
adherence to the letter and spirit OF
the law. The men composing the
executive council present an absolute
iy clear and clean record. They did
everything that was humanity possible
to secure justice In the matter OF
taxes. The governor frankly says
taxes are higher because OF ths In
creased valuations. He says levies
should be reduced to meet these con-
dftions. He gives the facts fairly and
without the slightest fear or favor
Governor Clarke Is not a petty poll
tician. He Is big, brainy, broad
gentleman. He scorns to do
petty or small things to gain political
prestige He is going to do right as
God reveals the light to him and
trust the people OF the state. George
W. Clarke Is a real governor. He has

kuK?

An amazing thing about American
life il the disinterested attitude OF the
people and their officials, alike, with re.
spect to matters Of obvious import
ance and concerning which there is
no controversy.
For instance, Fairgrounds.
II has been capable of demonstra-
ticn that establishment OF play
grounds reduces the delinquency
within the contiguous territory more
than 25 per cent, and beyond a half
mile radius nearly 20 per cent, says
the Des Moines Tribune.
Does the fact have the effect of has
tening the establishment OF play
grounds? Not at all
Does the fact that half the children
in juvenile courts in large cities are
found to be there because they must
play in the street lead to prompt ad-
justment of the difficulty in the inter
est of society? Certainly not
1t is easy to create interest in a
subject Of controversy, but after con
clusion is demonstrated the public
seems to lose interest and, of course,
public officers follow the rule OF do
ing az little as possible. 1t has taken
twenty-five years to get the city au-
thor1ties in Des Moines to the point
even Of considering public comfort
stations.

FARMERS AS ADVERTISERS.

/ In the current issue OF Farm ana
Preside. the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, J. NJ.
Taylor writes a valuable and in
teresting article telling farmers how
to get to the market with their
goods. Mr.. Taylor goes c., as fol-
lows, to show how farmers can use
the newspapers:
The cities are full of people who
want to buy their goods direct. the
country is full of farmers who would
gladly sell direct for the sake Of the
additional profits to be gained by
that mode Of selling. ALL that re-
mains is for them to get together.
There is no need of an extensive
advertising campaign. All that is nee
egsary is a small display advertise
ment in the newspapers OF the near
est large city. And in writing the ad
the farmer should not be bashful
about having his name easily seen.
Let him advertise Smiths potatoes,
or Smiths cabbages, or whatever
Smith has to sell. Do it in a manner
that will leave the impression that
Smith is proud Of his cabbages, that
he knows them to be UP to standard
and that he personally stands back
of them. People will more readily
buy of man who stamps his name on
his goods in manner which shows
that he is not afraid to be known as
their sponsor. Furthermore, It is
good business, for II people buy
Smiths cabbages this year and find
them good, they will camor for
Smiths cabbages next yea. and be
satisfied with no others"

Gov. CIarke's strono Speech.

Council Blu1e Nonpareil: Governor
George W. Clarke made one Of the
strongest. most brilliant and most
conclusive speeches ever heard In
Council Bluffs, in the Masonic temple
Tuesday evening.
The governor ia deeply concerned in
the question Of taxation in Iowa. This
Is not, az many may assume, because
OF personal interest: It IS because the
work OF the present ex ,cutive council
was an honest effort to comply with
the law, and a reputation OF this
work on the part OF the people is
equivalent to saying to men who are
elected to places at the head OF the
state government, You must ignore
the laws you have sworn to uphole
and execute" No man in Iowa Is
more cognizant OF the Importance OF
obedience to law than the ernor.
Disregard to law Is one among the
greatest OF our national sins Clarke
refuses to believe that Iowa people
ara going to require their public ser.
wants to repudiate the laws OF the
state.
Governor Clarke mace It very clear
that the methods of taxing property in
Iowa are crude and approach the alb
surd in their in eaualities. starr
has now been made toward the use o.
a method OF adjustment which. II II
is adhered to. will bring something
