Moines newspapers call this PROPOSE
ton an absurd one, and It probably u.s.
ss far as putting the Fair on wheels
is concerned.
There seems to be no real good or
fair reason. however, why 1t should
be entirely confined to Dies Moines. IL
Des Moines paid the piper there wouio
be a good excuse, but the state OF
Iowa pays most of 1t, and why should
Des Moines be continual and ex-
elusive beneficiary of the agricultural
and other exhibitions which make to-
ward an advertisement Of the great
ness Of Iowa?
1t would seem to be only just and
right that some other cities OF the
state be given a part of this display
OF course. Des Moines will have the
eternal argument that it is centrally
located and If all the citizens are &c
see all of the show, it could not be
better located than near the center OF
the state where all the railroads meet
But certain sections of tho state are
more interested in one line than they
are in another. and it would seem tc
he only fair to distribute come of TINS
big appropriation to other cities. In
stead Of putting the state fair or

permanently, giving Des Moines the

different departments to some of the
other sections Of the state? Des
Moines should not ask for all of tht
appropriations necessary for the dem
onstration of the greatness of lows
as an agricultural and manufacturing

To .ne dull Mooser,."

The leaders in strife must be tender,
Their life and on their station fall;
II they recoil, let them surrender
Before the battles bugie call.
By hostile Zoe the flag is scoffed,
That is by weaklings held aloft;
For If we dread the foe to meet,
We're doomed to failure and defeat.
Our noble land must be protected
From vile corruption, greed and graft;
The ballot batteries perfected
to Strike the pirates and their craft.
In lightning's glare and thunder's roar,
Well clair the deck and sweep the
shore,
Where trusts and tyrants hold the
sway
But waiting for a Judgment day.
Unless the people are the masters
And for their birthright take stand.
The rights of man. will meet disasters
And Rings of gold will rule the land
No patriotic man can see
The starry flag of liberty
Without a thought Of those who gave
Their life so they might freedom save
In all the storms and stress Of ages
Some noble leaders fight and fall,
And where the battle fiercely RACES
They take their stand at duties call.
Then raise your banner, proud and
free,
For Justice and for liberty
Stand Arm on freedoms virgin sod
Strike for your country, home and God

FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY.
[Des Moines Tribune.]
OFFICIAL reports to the state executive
council show that the local authorities
In Van Buren, county were not satisfied
with the increase in assessment of land
made by the council last year and after
adding on the advance ordered by that
body IE>ising the valuation from 1913
to SAT an acre. on their own account
piled s2,653.344 more on top Of that
This enabled the county to collect
about $4,000 year for two years. over
and above the amount OF taxes which
would have been collected If the valua-
ton fixed by the executive council had
been accepted.
Since Van Buren, county supplied the
chief criticism of the action of the
council in increasing land values last
year and furnished candidate for gov
ernor on that issue, the disclosure made
by the reports to the executive council
are really amazing.
II another county had concluded that
the council did not increase the valua-
ton of land to fair figure and had
added on further increase, ii might
not have excited comment. But to have
II happen in Van Ruren is delightful, as
we'll as surprising.
