How 10 Protect Doctors.

Des Moines, May 26.-How to pro-
tect the doctors of Iowa from a medi-
cal defense organization is a problem

not get charter from the state or
recognition from the state insurance
board. Now II is charged that such
company is doing mail order bus

The sO-caIIeu aTlthWeICaI WeIHOu
was adopted for computing the esti-
mates of population. 1t is the simp-
lest and il has been shown by exper-
fence to come nearer in accuracy in
the majority of cases than any other
formula. 1t rests on the assumption
that the increase each year since the
enumeration is equal to the annual
increase from 1900 to 1910.
II is interesting in this connection
also TO know, that Oskaloosa has the
smallest land area of any of the 20
largest cities in Iowa No doubt if il
included as much acreage as other
cities nearest to it in population it
would make a much better showing,
some of the cities with their popula-
ton and area are here given for

OUR NEIoHeoRs' OPINIONS.

Saturday Globe: Within the last
few days there has been paid into the
county treasury by two estates in
back taxes, the total sum of S4,S50.
The county paid a fee OF Sl,2l2.5O to
an attorney for actuating these pay.
ments through a notice served on the
respective administrators by the coun-
ty treasurer. In the distribution OF
OskalOOsa taxes the state receives 4.9
mills, the schools 1915 mills, the city
1918 mills, and the county 1916 mills.
Applying this distribution to this $4,-
$50 collected in back taxes, the
amounts paid by the county into the
respective channels would be:
To the state treasurer. ....$ .254 IA
To the school treasurers go. l.72l.3S
To the city treasurer .... 2,ll6.03

Having paid a collection fee OF
$l,2l250, and realizing from the col
lection as its share s758.l3, the coun-
ty sustains a loss on the transaction
of $454.37.
Newton Record: The Oskaloosa
Herald calls TO mind the fact that
May 18th was the SEVENTEEN anniVer-
sary Of the naming of that city. The
name was originally spelled "Ouska-
loosa" and was given in memory of
princess among the Creek Indians
who was stolen by the SeminOles and
married by Csc b0la, chief of the Sem.
inOles, who gave her the name, Gus
kaloosa, meaning The last of the
beautiful" OF course Osceola was
mistaken about her being the last OF
the beautiful, because we know sew
eral who are much prettier but it is
an interesting story anyway.

Oskaloosa Times: We wish it
were possible for every democratic
voter In the county to get out to the
primary election. We are not going
TO advise you how to vote. There are
plenty of candidates on the ballot to
select from. But 1t is essential to
success that a fun vote be polled on
June LIST. Make a special effort to
vote that day. There is work to do
on the farms we know, but 1t will not
take all day to drive to the polls and
cast your vote. II is of vital import
ance TO the fall campaign.
