POLK COUNTY FARM VALUES.
rDes Moines Capital.1

Farmers in Polk county have been
somewhat disturbed by reports that the
1915 assessments have placed real
estate values far in excess OF other
counties in the state. Secretary Davi-
son of the state executive council hax
prepared map which shows that while
the average is high a majority of the
farmers in Polk county are assessed
lower than their neighbors across the
line in adjoining counties.
For instance. in Madison township.
the average assessed value Of land per
acre is ss9.5e. Across the line in Gar
den township. Boone county. il is sso1i
an acre. In Jefferson township, Polk
county, the assessed value is S7os3.
while in Grant township, Dallas county
ii is s7i.sl.
The average in Polk county is high
because of the value placed on farms
within a few miles of Des Moines.
They average sls5.7S in this township,
while in adjoining townships the val
ues fall back to less than 500 an acre
II is quite natural that the close pToX-
unity TO Des Mcines should place an
added value on farm land II any criu-
cism is offered it should be that there
is such a decided discrimination be-
tween the land ten miles from Des
Noines and the land twenty miles
away \ drop of 500 an acre from the

IOWA EXCURSION BOATS.
IDubuoue telegraph Herald

The matter Of stability under such
loads as Mississippi river excursion
steamers carry is not to be decided
by soundness of hull or boiler, or
plentitude OF life saving apparatus, but
is wholly a matter Of design. the cor
rectness OF which is to be determined
positively only by an experienced naval
architect and this the federal IN
spectors are not required to be. Nor is
the Mississippi river steamboat the re-
suit Of careful designing on naval
architects drawing board but rather
the produce of necessity, evolved In
the very early days of the last CEN
fury to meet hitherto unheard OF con-
ditions. In hundred years there has
been little, if any. change in hull de-
sign. and. while such river accidents
as that at Chicago have never been at
tended with great loss OF life, never
the less there have been numerous in
stances where boats have capsized on
the Mississippi. Dubuque can recall
the case of the Ravenna, which was
upset by the wind at Maquoketa Chute
a dozen years ago.
Even a casual survey Of the situa-
ton on the Mississippi river must con-
vince one that il is but the part OF
ordinary caution to be sure a COM
petent naval architect has passed upon
the design of the Mississippi river
steamboat before the boat is licensed
for the excursion business.

THE LOG OF THE NEW AReonau1s.

The death Of A P. Pardington. vice
president of the Lincoln Highway AS
soc!ation. suggests a parallel between
the devotion ne gave 20 the project
over which ne was second officer and
other men in minor places connected
with the establishment Of this mighty
highway Pardinston gave freely Of
his own means and time. He was i'm
bued with the great idea. So imbued
he gave himself willingly and force
fully to the work and one Of his last
acts was 10 ISSUE verbal instructions
TO his assistants.
There are other men who have given
their time and money freely TO the
highway as officials and as interested
ment. And prominent among those
who have thus served and hoped and
waited is State Consul c. W Coan, Of
Clinton. whose interest and effort and
confidence have never failed. And
there are others.
Some day the men who shall have
girdled the continent with the Lincoln
Highway will receive their just reward
