Muscatine, Jan. 15.-The importance
of the Second district congressiona!
election is reflected in the caliber Of the
speakers who will take part In the
campaign in the hope of gaining the
important decision for their respective
parties. The democratic national COM
mittee has arranged for the appearance
Of Speaker Champ Clark among those
listed to defend the administration. The
speaker Of the house will visit here
early in the campaign and will speak at
Davenport. Muscatine and Clinton.
Congressman Maurice Connolly, OF
Dubuque. has consented to take hand
in the Second district campaign and
hopes to interest several other mem
bers of the house in the campaign.
Senator Reed, Of Missouri. as we'll as
other members Of the upper house may
also be secured to take part In the de-
tense Of the Wilson policies. The adj
ministration realizes that the defeat
of the party nominee in the district will
have a nation wide effect and hence
no effort will be spared to insure VIC

ready been made to bring the two ac-
tive members Of the bull moose party

OLD PENALTIES LARGE
CONGRESS- ACTION MAKES
RAILWAYS POSSIBLE.
Road in Territory Effectively Put Out
of Business By Law Now
Able to Proceed.

In less time than it takes to tell
it, the United States senate, follow
ing the lead of the House of Repre-
sentatives, tore up 81. O. U. IS" re-
presenting something like $2O,0OO,O 900
technically due the government, but
not recoverable, because of the in
ability of certain railroad companies
to pay fines that legally rested against
them under an old law passed in 1899,
says a Washington dispatch.
This big wad of money, stage or
otherwise, was thrown away when the
senate passed house bill bill repeal
ing the act of 1899 imposing an an
nual tax of 800 a mile on all rail
roads in Alaska, and remitted all pen
alties that may have accrued under
that statute.
In lieu of that tax, the repeating
law, since signed by the president, i'm
poses a tax Of 4 per cent per annum
on the gross receipts of all privately
owned railroads in Alaska. One of
the interested spectators in the senate
gallery when the repeal bill was pass
ed was Falcon Joslin, representing the
Tanana Valley railroad, a 45-mile road
running out of Fairbanks. This road,
one of the first built in Alaska, has
never paid and has never been able
to pay the old tax, epecially since that
law was cumulative in character doub-
ling the penalty the first day of delin-
quency, quadrupling the penalty for
the second day and so on ad infnitum
Mr.. Falcon Joslin estimated that the
time the senate repealed the $1OO tax,
his railroad owed the government
something more than $10,000,000, and
the full penalty earned the day the
bill passed was exactly $4,000. There
are about POO miles of railroad in
Alaska that have been effectively put
out of business by the old $100 tax,
as none were able to operate and dis
charge then obligation to the govern
nent. Senator Jones, of Washington,
who was instrumental in having the
aw of 1899 repealed, informed the
senate that the repeal would give in
,entive to these roads to begin oper-

BUTTER WRAPPERS

labels on packages sent out by
leading manufacturers of crack

DOES 1T PAY?

You may safely gamble that it
does. A pretty package attracts
attention and makes sales. You
know it-everybody knows 1t.

more colors, in quantities from
100 to 100000, and guarantee
the price. Let's talk it over.

The County Fair.

Don t neglect your county fair. 1t
is true, the county fair is not so large
or imposing as the state fair at Salem !;
but for all that, we consider them of
great Importance. Perhaps they do
as much good in the aggregate as the
big fair does. The growth of COM
munity sentiment is one of the most
encouraging symptoms we have no.
ticed for long time. Bring in your
stock, your fruit and your grain, pit
it against that of your neighbor and
meet him on a friendly footing while
you are doing it. 1t will benefit you
and him too to get together in an
amicable rivalry. Out of the best
you have, send to the state fair for
higher honors still.-Oregon Farmer.

Make the Comparison.

Readers of The Observer
are invited to compare this
publication with any other
So-called country newspaper
coming to their address, that
they may Judge for themselves
the merits of The Observer.
The Observer prints more news
that is news during the week
than any other country news
paper in the state, and more
than all the other publications
in Polk county combined.
Don take our word for this,
but make the comparison. As
for instance this week more
than forty columns of "simon
pure" local news has been
given its constituency, not
only covering Dallas in full
but the most important hap
penings in Polk county as
well. And that the reading
public appreciates this effort
is evidenced by the fact that
during the past three months
over one hundred voluntary
subscribers have been added
to our list. If You would
have the local news you must
be a subscriber to The 0bserv-
er. You will find many col
umns of absolutely fresh news
in today's paper.
