THE school district officers decide
how many dollars they will need for
the following year and notify the coun-
" auditor.
IF the sum demanded by the school
| board is not above the MAXIMUM es-
ta5lished by Law the auditor takes the
entire valuation including ali changes
by the county board Of review and exc
cutive consul and computes the milk
| necessary 20. raise that sum.
The board Of supervisors only ex-
anime to see if the sum asked by the
school districts and cities and town
ships are legal and within the statu-
tory limitation.
The state officers notify the board
so many mills or fractions of mill for
such and such state purpose.
Thus s311,sS of the 1914 taxes
can not be laid to the board.
The school districts asked for about
$4,000 more in 1914 than in 1913.
THE rate demanded for cities and
| incorporated towns bringing s23.21S.11
more than was collected In 1913.
The townships will receive sl2.S4o.9s
more than last year.
"And the levy certified by the state
official will produce s1s.507.4s more
! taxes than the state received from
| Hardin county last year
Il might say that $4,000 OF the in
/ crease in city taxes is voluntary
donation from Eldcra to help pay for
| a bridge east Of town.
"Here then is practically $4,000
! of the increase that the board would
have rendered themselves liable to In
I
had reduced the levy.
"In addition to that the legislature
created a fund known as the road
building fund and compelled the board
levy mills for that purpose which ex-
plains over $4,000 more Of the in
crease
The increase in valuation will also
produce about $1,000 more money IN
the funds that rate Of which is fixed
by statute.
THE board did, however. raise the
bridge levy so that 1t will produce
nearly $4,000 more revenue in 1914
than in 1913 The large bridge east
of Eldora which is being paid for by
the county and Eldora and citizens
and the law passed by the last legis-
lature which compels bridges to be
Of permanent construction compelling
the increase.
"In the county fund there is an in
crease Of about $4,000. The insane
fund was lowered little and the pool
increased a little
Then the only part of this $4,000
increase which can be Justly placed
against the board is the $4,000 In
, crease in the county fund.
II think that is all the Increase the
board can be asked to account for ant
I think they can fully explain that.
'Ts there any way by which the tai
payer can recover back any OF this In
crease in his taxes from state. county
or other taxing body? can not think
OF any.

Grinnell. March 13-While waiting
for a train at Mason City recently the
discussion came around to the heavy
increase in the taxes 10 be collected
in Hardin County in 1914 and those
collected in 1913 amounting TO prac-
tically $4,000. Mr.. c. E. WEIGH OF
Eldora was asked why the board OF
supervisors did not reduce the levies
SO as 10 raise approximately the same
taxes on the increased valuation thaI
were collected on liberalization for 1913
and not force this extra $4,000 from
the tax payers, he answered. Because
they were powerless TO do so, Hardin

London. April Following all the
many solutions OF the government
crisis which had been proposed and
discussed, Premier Asquith announced
a decision to the house of commons
on Monday which none OF the prophets
had expected or even suggested
The prime minister himself will as
sumo the burden OF the war office, in
addition to his other and almost crush

house at this critical stage, when the
second reading of the home rule bill Is
about to be taken up. and will appeal

Field Marshal Sir John French, chief
of the imperial general staff, and Gen.
Sir John Ewart, adjutant general. de-
clined to withdraw their designations,
in spite of the army order, which Vis-
count Haldane cleverly framed as a
platform on which, the generals might
stand with consistency and honor.
It-thus, became impossible for Col.
j f. B. Seely, who was co-signer with
them of the assurance TO Brigadier
General Cough that the army would
not be used TO suppress the Ulster OPP
position to home rule, to retain the
secretaryship for war. His resigna.
ton, therefore. was accepted after he
had been for some days under fire
from the newspapers of his own party,
which insisted that he must go.

eating the repeal OF the Panama canal
act which permits American coast
wise vessels to pass free through the
canal
The speaker declared that this
policy was reputation of solemn
platform obligations and demanded
that the Democrats hold true TO the
faith proclaimed by their national con-
vention.
He declared that he is not a candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination in 1916, for II President
Wilson's administration amounts to Il
failure, 'the nomination will not be
worth having" and he denied that he

the American people win maintain at
all hazards. That is the only propo-
sition the American people ever
agreed upon, and the reason they
agreed upon that was because II was
