FLAG RAISING.
Birthday Of Washington Observed by
High School, City School and
Citizens, Monday

Some time ago Postmaster w. A.
Handy received handsome new flag
from the department at Washington.
The flag is SKY feet and presents a
splendid appearance waving from the
40-foot flag pole erected in front of the
postoffice. The pole was put up Satur-
day by E. S. Cram and the flag ran up
to be sure that everything would work
without hitch,
Monday forenoon about nine O'Clock
the High School, under the direction of
Prof. March. and the City school. un-
der the direction of Prof. H. H. Vim
cent. marched to the postoffice on Main
street and three Boy Scouts, Will Dun
bar, Edward Quals and Roy Bishop,
who had been previously chosen for
that duty, proceeded to run Old Glory to
the top of the flag staff. The schools
joined in singing the Star Spangled
Banner and Columbia the Gem of the
Ocean, after which three rousing cheers
were given Tor the nag, led by Prof.
March. Numerous citizens were pres
ept and witnessed the event with much
pleasure.
The schools returned to their studies
after the ceremonies were over and
left our national emblem gallantly
waving in the breeze where it re-
mained all d., while every person
present felt in Ills heart greater love
for the flag al the great country it
represents.
A flag that purchased by the cit
lzens of CrossN some years ago was
raised over the court house also, but
without ceremo.y. Both flags were
kept up all day.

BUSINESS FOR PAST YEAR.
Information Touching Some of the
Leading Products Of the Mines as
an Index 70 Business Volume.

| While the year 1914 was record
, breaker IN wheat production and was a
generally prosperous one for the farm
er, owing to the outbreak of the Euro
pean war and the high price of all
kinds of food as result, the general
! results of the mines were not so en-
couraging for the demand did not hold
up and as a result the general trend of
business was very much depressed as
will be seen by the following CLEAN
ings from government reports:
COAL OUTPUT.
The coal output decreased from ten
to fifteen per cent and at the same time
the shutting down OF manufacturing
plants reduced the demand to such an
extent as to make competition keen
and prices lower in many instances
than reasonable profit would warrant
so that the final outcome was an unsat-
isfactory business in coal mining for
the country over.
IRON OUTPUT.
1t IS probable that the year 1914 saw
no greater decline in the output of any
product than that Of iron, which
slumped nearly one-third under the out
put of 1918.
Iron Is SAID to be and generally ad
miUted the barometer of business IN
this country. That being true the de-
crease for 1914 laust have been very
heavy Most pe9ple are ready to adj
nit from personai experience thag 1914
was lean bus're,s year.
GOLD OUTPUT.
The gold output for 1914 was $4,000
900 in excess of 1913 and the year was
a very prosperous one as compared
with 1913. but was far behind the
record years of l9O8-1912 California
leads in production for last year as il
has for several years. Silver produc-
tion was unusually heavy and it is es-
tinated that but for the European war
the year would have been a record
breaker. Nevada retained first place.
BUILDING IN 1914.
The reports show that there was a
falling off in the production of Port
and cement of over three and half
millions of barrels. Since the use of
cement has become so universal in al
most every kind of building operations.
his one item alone shsws conclusively
hat building for 1914 was far below
previous years.
INCREASED OIL OUTPUT.
The oil output for 1914 is nearly SO
Millions of barrels in excess of any
previous year. California and Okla
iona alone furnished over two hundred
Millions of barrels of the total of 292.-
100, 900.
1t has been estimated that more gas
lime and oil will be used this year thai
ver before. owing to the constantly
use of automobiles and the
realty increased use of them which IS

Xposition and the further fact that
he European war will keep many
housand people at bone who would
therwise have gone to Europe tor
ew months this year as has been the
rowing custom for many years. The
cry fact that so many people cannot Il

nited States more than ever before

$1S,O0O,0OO each to construct and equip
will be recommended to congress as
a part of the navy building program
for next year. Decision on this step
was reached Monday at a conference
between President Wilson, Secretary
Daniels and Representative Padgett,
chairman of the house naval affairs
committee
Plans for such a type of vessel as
is contemplated, already have been
prepared under the direction Of Rear
Admiral David w. Taylor, chief con
structor Of the navy and now are be
ing considered by the secretary and
members of the general board
Just how many Of the new type
ships would be constructed, had not
been determined, Secretary Daniels
said after the conference.
Cost of construction of navy craft
has risen since the outbreak of the
European war with the consequent
enormous demand upon American re-
sources, some recent steel contracts
for the navy showing an increase of
80 per cent over previous prices.
Dreadnaughts, which also will be rec
ommended for construction this win
ter will cost $1S,OOO,OOO each, it is
estimated, as against $15,OOO,OOO for
those now building. Part of this in
crease, however, is due to new hull
construction to provide greater pro-
lection against torpedo attack.
Estimates Due October IS.
The number of ships of each class
to be urged probably will be agreed
upon within a few days. Secretary
Daniels continued his conference Mon
day night, with representative Pad
gett and he will see President Wilson
again probably this week. The esti-
mates, by the law, must be in the
hands of the secretary of the treasury
by October 10.
Plans for the battle cruisers Mr..
Daniels said, contemplated a speed of
thirty-five knots an hour.
Naval Constructor Mcbride has COM
municated to Secretary Daniels the re-
suits of his Investigations in England
and France. The secretary expects
to have his estimates ready by Oc-
tober 10.
The need of increasing the number
of midshipmen at the naval academy
was touched on at this conference, and
it was agreed that the corps should
be brought up to the full capacity of
the academy.
President Wilson will confer on
Wednesday with the advisory board.

Edison now is in Washington discuss

in our taxes last year by the combined
action of the city council and the state
executive council and 1t seems to me
that the council ought to be able to
spare the $4,000 without increasing
either the assessment or the levy this
year. 1t will be well for every prop
erty owner to see what the assessor
does to him this year and II there 10
a raise in his assessment then he
ought to go over to the city hall and
demand Of the council that the assess
ment be put right back to the former
figures.
Last time our property was as
sessed the assessor marked 1t up con-
siderably from what 1t was before and
then the city council In it, work OF
equalization boosted the assessment
over million more. That was bad
enough. but along came the executive
council of the state and made another
addition of eight and a half per cent
in the valuation of Cedar Rapids
property. You remember what the city
council said then. They said, Well.
we have made the levy and can not
reduce it now, but wait till we make
the next levy and we will cut 1t down
so that the eight and half per cent
will be taken off,
They did cut the last levy to thirty
seven mills. but every property owner
is paying more taxes now than he did
three or four years ago. II you doubt
it look at your tax receipts.
Now what do the assessor and the
council propose to do this year? Is
the assessor going to raise the assess
merit and the council raise the levy?
