ANOTHER TAX LIE CORRECTED.
Misstatement Concerning Lssislaturs's
Appropriation For Amss Extension.

Appropriation For Amss Extension.
Ames. Jan. 27.-The Evening Times
Republican. Marshalltown, Iowa: Gent
lemen: From time to time have
noticed In several Of tho daily and
weekly papers Of Iowa. articles on tax
alton stating that the Thirty flfth
general assembly had appropriated a
half mill tax for agricultural extension
work. This statement is not based on
facts. Just how It started, ! cannot
say but presume some person acct
dentally made a misstatement which
has been widely copied. I do not be-
lieve any person would knowingly
misstate facts The Thirty-h NTH gen
eral assembly did appropriate a half
mill tax for the Iowa State College, OF
which sum- $4,000 was to be used for
agricultural extension work.
I enclose an itemixed statement Of
the bill as passed. You will note that
in all. the appropriation calls for 1917.
500, also a provision was made that
any additional money accruing from
this half mill levy would revert to the
general revenues Of the state. sincere
ly hope that you will present a correct
statement Of this matter. The reports
which have been circulated are unfair
to the agricultural extension depart
ment OF this college and to the agricul-
tural interests Of the state.
Yours very truly,
w. ]. KENNEDY.

Sioux City, Jan. 2s.-One Of the best
examples Of prosperity of Iowa far
mers and the development of her huge
agricultural resources is the new $780,
900 farm residence of F. p. Baker, at
Akron, Iowa. Mr.. Baker Is the owner
of $40 acres of land, part of which
lies in Iowa and part in South Da-
kota 1t is perhaps the richest soil
in the state and from it cultivation
the owner has accumulated a for
tune.
His new residence which Is nearing
completion and which was designed by
chitect will be one Of the finest and
most modern farm homes in the United
States With the expenses incident to
landscape artistry. the total cost Of
all will probably exceed 100000 A
private sewage disposal plant. electric
lighting system, waterworks and gas
plant are only few Of the features
to be adopted.
Ideal Country Homo.
The house will stand we'll back from
the main road passing the farm, and
surrounding 1T will be a group OF trees.
Cement and gravel walks, bordered by
hedges, will lead to the main and side
entrances and the garage and differ
ent outhouses. Spacious lawns will be
kept both in front and rear, where
tennis courts are to be constructed.
The residence Is to be built of tile
with an outer layer Of cement. This,
according to Mr. Burkhead, the ar
chitect. will insure protection from
the cold In winter and ts an innova-
ton in modern architecture to protect
also against excessive heat The house
will be 81 by "a feet, and the front
and right side surrounded by a bal
cony.
This will be one OF the largest ever
placed on residence. 1t will practic-
ally surround the house, and majectic
cement pillars will add to the artistic
taste. 1t will be twelve feet high, the
upper floor being enclosed with fine
wire screening in the summer and par
titioned of into outdoor sZeeping
rooms. In tho winter storm shields
will be provided.
Imposing Structure.
Mr. Baker. who IS a native OF Eng
land, has taken an intense interest. not
only In the design, but in the construc-
ton of his new home and has endeav-
ored not only to make 1t practical, but
to afford pleasing sight to the eye
from the approaches in all four direc-
lions. He has frequently consulted
with Mr.. Burkhead and has personally

The troubles Of Mrs. Huegle com.
menced before she had really become
county superintendent. 1t has been y
long fight. which In the view Of great
many persons. WAS largely a fight as
between politicians who wanted to con-
troll all county patronage and WON :

has had the sympathy and cooperation
Of a number Of mighty good people be-
cause Of belief that she was beins

It Ia probable that some of the worst
eyesores about the state capitol will be
removed very soon. A little building
used az a lunch stand, In front Of the
capitol, viii BIO removed soon; and a
number Of unsightly billboards will be
taken down. But as for billboards 1t
Is probable not all will come down be-
cause most OF the newer billboards
erected are unobjectionable. An old
building long owned by the Hubbells
which was used for a feed store and
at one time as q carpenter shop, just
north of the capitol. will be torn down
by Agent McCurdy who is now actively
at work looking after the property of
the state. He has already rented sew
eral Of the houses for the state.
The shrewd game of Manager
Schmidt of the Des Moines City Rail-
way Company is being gradually dis
closed here.
The company is under a court order
to remove Its tracks from the streets
some time next year. unless in the
meantime the city has granted it
franchise.
The company plans to get the big
booster committees on its side by max
ing play of some kind In connection
with the eplleptic farm colony. either
refusing to agree to extend Its inter-
urban line until assured of the fran
chise, or reluctantly agreeing to the
extension in such a way as to put the
boosters under obligations to the COM
pany.
Then the company is going to get the
street car employees on Its side by
Juggling the wage question and making
1t appear that until the franchise is
SoCClGO LNeFe Will OS AOSAiit6 uSAii6 90
to better wages.
Then the street car patrons are to be
all corralled by letting the service run
down to very lowest ebb and pointing
to 1t as the result Of no franchise and
insisting that until a franchise is Sc
cured 1t will not pay to put on enough
cars to carry the traffic.
Thus everybody will be on the side
of a new franchise.
The shooting Of ducks and geese next
spring will be the last In Iowa, for
spring shooting. But for the fact that
the licenses this year all contemplate
permission to shoot migratory birds
until April Is the end Of spring duck
shooting would now be in sight, thanks
to the men who are doing things at
Washington. But because of the fact
that Iowa has issued its licenses for
spring shooting as we'll as that for any
other time. Warden Hinshaw will not
be able to enforce the national law on
the subject, and 1t has been left to him.
Tho result probably will be that duck
hunters will be unusually active In the
early spring and indications now are
that spring will be unusually early In
arriving.
