that the increased valuations would

that the Increased Valuations would
have raised.
Was II the state taxes that Governor
Clarke raised? The legislature appro-
PIRATES all the money and all the coun-
| Gil can do is to fix q millage levy
| which will raise the money already
spent by the legislature. Governor
Clarke and his council reduced the
state levy but it cost this farm $s.42
this year for state purposes instead Of
sS.46 last year and 1t would have cost
just as much If values had not been
| changed for the money had been spent
by legislative enactment and the coun-
ell had to raise IL.
This brings us down to the millage
| taxes fixed by law. When valuations
were increased by Governor Clarke's
council taxes were increased because
these levies are fixed levies and If
Clarke is to be charged with boosting
taxes it can only be as to these fixed
levies. It cost this farm $1.45 this year
for the running expenses of our state
colleges and only IS cents last year, an
increase Of so cents for education. Then
it cost this farm $1.45 for state institu-
tons, s1.45 for agricultural extension
work at Ames, and s1.45 for extension
Of the capital grounds at Des Moines
which are all new taxes fixed of law
and not levied last year but if Cover
nor Clarke is to blame for these taxes
then so Is every member of the legis-
lature both democrat and republican.
Now find the man who increased
your taxes If Governor Clarke did not
do 1t. Out of total boost of $50 on
this one average quarter section the
county board levied s4.o1 increase for
county bridges. the board and the new
road law levied 1916 increase for
county roads. the township board add
ed Sail for township roads so as to
keep their roads as good as county
roads and the various levies for state
purposes fixed by the legislature caus-
ed an increase OIL so.e1 pot JOsl S-.oo
and no more of this increase could have
been saved had land valuations not
been raised.
Charge Governor Clarke and his
council with 81 increase in taxes on
quarter section of land if you will and
any other governor VIII violate the
laws of his state if he ever tries to
reduce an assessment of s72.57 per acre
upon $3.50 land. Charge capital extern
sion s1.45 for this $4,000 farm and
then vote your convictions.

n LOOKS LIKE WAR,

1t looks like war. With the early
dispatches Of today telling OF Huerta's
refusal and the preparations to enforce
the demands of this country the prob
abilities ploint to immediate hostilities,
the capture Of coast cities by the Unit
ed States and general cleaning up of
the alleged government headed by
Huerta.
There is one logical explanation of
Huerta's defiance of the reasonable
demands made upon him by President
Wilson That is tina. Euerta finds
himself and his followers at the end of
the rope and is seeking to force the
United States TO protect them. Prob
ably Huerta might be able to escape
with enough funds to live luxuriouslv
IN Europe after the fashion set by
Dlaz in Mexico and by innumerable
other saddle colored presidents of sad
die colored countries south Of Mexico
but he could not take with him the
thousands who have been part of his
regime.
Villa is due soon in Mexico City. Left
TO the tender mercies of that bandit
conditions are scarcely to be imagined
There would no doubt be hundreds shot
and millions demanded in ransoms
Property would be conhscated. Under
the protection of the United States life
would be safe and property guarded
against the methods of the banditti
And his seems 70 be the hole thru
which the rat seeks to escape.
The troops are on the way. The
warships wait with sho,ted guns and
the marines are being held on a strain
ing leash. 1t is up to congress this
afse-noo-!-cocgress and the president.
The war dogs are ready for the word.

A THIRD DISTRICT VIEW.
r Hardin County Citizen

According to newspaper reports,
Charles E. Pickett and q few stand
pat friends held a session at Cedar
Rapids the later part Of last week with
a view of Mr.. Pickett becoming a can
didate for senator against Senator
Cummins. Mr. Pickett is credited with
being willing until there was prospect
of a political lynching party in Black
hawk, when he announced that he
would not be candidate. If there was
ever need of verification Of this papers
estimate of Mr.. Pickett, this incident
shows the fellow.

LEE A CANDIDATE.

Judge Lee. of Ames, has announced
his candidacy for governor of Iowa
upon the republican ticket. The an
nouncement follows an active cam
paign among many OF the republicans
of the northwestern part of the state
for announcement sufficient to war
rant his candidacy.
OF Judge Lees fitness there can be
no question. He has served as judge
in the several courts of his judicial
district with distinction. He is recog-
nize6 at home as a man of parts. He
is level headed and meets people well.
AS TO the advisa biiity of launching
his candidacy time alone Will tell. 1t
doesn'. seem possible that there can be
enough who are unwilling to honor
Governor Clarke with a second term to
make the success of Judge Lee posi-
BILE at the primary. The Record be-
lieves that the governor Is high
minded man. that he has the best In
terests of the state very near to his
heart and that whatever he has done
has been done thru honorable and pa
triotfc motives. He Is not politician

He Is anything but a grandmother. Yet

Will naturally have to take the conse-
uuences whether he is personally re-
sponsible or not.
The fight is between Governor Clarke
and Judge Lee. The state can view
with perfect equanimity the success OF
either one. 1t is up to the voters at the
primary.

The only crime which can be
charged against Governor Clarke, in

that he is not very astute as politi-
clan. The governor would be in better
position. tactically, if he had recog-
nized that there is widespread pub
lie sentiment against some OF the acts
Of the last legislature. Since they in
yolve no moral issue. he need not have
set himself in the way of moderation

lions, and has defended them openly

Reina : Gentleman.

fSpring field. MSS, RepuDilcan.1
What constitutes a gentleman? Per
haps thoughtfulness for others comes
as near answering the question as is
possible In a line. The gentleman mas
his part to play even in times SO
strenuous that men and women TOO
much forget to be gentle in the hght
to achieve something or other. Inc
gentleman Is deferential toward wo-
men. 1t is an attitude worth keeping,
despite the fact that some hghtlne
spirits among us don't want to be
patronized in that way" Even such,
however, when very tired. are ready to
take the seat which some male per-
son surrenders to them In public
place. The good old fashion of giving
the lady a seat" is departing from our
street cars, and there are mature per-
sons who regret It's going. But while
the practice fingers somewhat women
sometimes forget to thank the gentle
man who persists in well doing =
whether he be Of polished or rough ex-
terior-and that is matter for regret
The amenities Of life are like oil in
machine which makes its running
smooth. Women may be destined t.
lose their softness. but any shedding Of
good manners is a distinct loss, wheth-
or IN men or women. There is loss in
friction wherever it may be found.
To be very much gentleman is t.
be thoughtful and kindly. instant tc
render unselfish service but it also
means honesty in word and deed, to be
socially trustworthy in every relation
To that standard every right instinct
calls U.S. The gentleman Is slow tc
wound and quick to soothe. He !;
never an irritant, and always vel
come factor in human relationships
Manners are the lesser part of 8
gentleman-being and doing, character
and service, constitute the real thing

among us increase and not decrease

WHY PAY SOME ONES TOLLS!

This paper admires President Will
son for the stand he takes on the canal
tolls question. We do not understand
why the people Of the United States
Should be called on to pay for a canal
through which any boats, United
States or foreign may pass without
paying for the privilege. II they must
have help from the United States
give it to them outright by the way
of an appropriation. And the fact OF
insisting on this kind of treatment
need not be based on fear of Great
Britain or any other nation, either.

LAST WEEK IN BUSINESS.

Adverse weather conditions accentu-
ate the prevailing quietness in general
trade. Evidences Of Improvement are
not wholly absent, yet progress is
checked by the backward spring. This
retards the distribution of seasonable
merchandise and has caused accumu-
lation of goods in some quarters.
The supply OF commercial paper con-
tinues abnormally light notwithstand-
ing the attractive terms offered by A.
nancial institutions. Confidence in the
| future, however. is maintained largely
! because of thes plendid agricultural
| outlook Winter wheat is in such ex-
celent shape that even last years ban
ner yield will probably be surpassed;
everything points to an increased cot
ton acreage. while the other leading
crops apparently are starting the sea-
son well.
Speculative influences have impaired
some firmness to prices Of the princi-
| pal farm staples, but, in a broad sense,
l
commodities are still tending down

clines and nine advances last week in

not a few instances prominent houses

wholesale dry goods the policy is to re-
strict orders to actual needs. and while
| business is not exactly dull, there Is
no buoyancy in any direction. Imports
Of textiles continue TO increase and
exports are falling off. The current
| slack demand for wool is due mainly to
the limited stocks Of desirable grades
and the high prices asked. Recent
cables from England indicate an i'm
proved sentiment. and holders are very
firm in their views. Higher tempera

retail dealings in footwear. Most fac
