Mr.. Lubin has come out in strong

the idea Of the German Landschaft

it would be worth while for the Joint

the various proposals for rural credit
legislation and also the Landschaft

Des Moines, June According to a
table prepared in the office Of the state
auditor and now being printed for gem
eral circulation in the state there is a
graphic showing of the progress in
ma tiers of taxation and assessment in
the state Of Iowa.
From this table it will be seen that
the taxes levied for 1914 for all pur-
poses of every kind-state, county,
schools. roads-was s4IO72,S6s. That
is nearly $50 per capita.
The steady increase is also shown as
follows: For 1895 it was s26,06l, 97T;
for 1905 it was s26,333.1S3: for 1908 1t
was s29.24S.3TS; for 1910 il was sS2,-
5oo.o45; for 1912 1t was $S67s6,sii; for
1918 ii was s45.7+4,Sso
Now as to the strictly state tax.
levied for state purposes only. While
in 1914 it was s2.1o6. $50. it was in 1908
slssess2 and in 1910 il was s2,2S1.635.
Slight Increase in State levies.
From this ii will seem that while
the state tax levy was moving up in
nine years by an increase of about
SStn,ttu the OIIl6T ldAcS NcAc -LACN 81 .
up a total Of about s21,000.0oo- While
the state tax was being boosted in five
years by nearly 100000 the other taxes
we're being boosted by over s15.00.oo0.
II to the regular state tax for state
purposes be added those other taxes,
the levies for which are fixed by law,
mainly for educational purposes and
for charitable purposes, still the in
crease in nine years was less than two
and a half millions while all taxes to-
getaer were being increased over s21,-
900 01o.
The tax levies that are controlled by
the legislature aggregate about per
cent Of the entire taxes collected in the
state leaving local taxing boards to
determine on the amount TO be collect
ea or 81 per cent of all taxes.
The table when published will prove
OF great interest in every county Of the
state for comparison. It will show the
exact amount levied for each purpose

| Other reasons given by Mr.. 1ubin
for his view include the one that 1t
is standing the test Of the war in Ger
many. Mr.. Lubin says:
1T Is the only cooperative plan OF
land mortgage credit. In place OF be-
ing corporation of lenders. the Land
schaft association is a cooperation or
borrowers.
1T is the only plan under which the
land mortgage bonds would find a
ready sale in the open market, as In
Germany, at from 3, Sls and 4 per
cent and run on the amortization plan
from thirty to fifty years.
st is the only plan that avoids the
hazard Of banks or banking for 1t re-
quires no bank and does no banking
1T is the only plan which calls for
no initial capital and which can be
conducted by the farmers themselves
at trifling expense.
1T is the only plan which. during
Isl years of operation in Germany. has
shown no failure, no loss, no law
suits, no regulations and no depre-
Citations. This is corrohorated in a re-
cent letter from Professor Brodnitz. OF
daile University. He says, the Land
schaft system is standing the test OF
this war as II has at all other times
1T is the only plan under which the
bonds are of equal value to govern
ment bonds in the open market and in
time Of panic or war hold their value
above government bonds.
1T is the only plan of land mortgage
bonds which affords a perfectly safe
investment 10 the capitalist TO the
servant girl. 10 the business man, and
to the trust funds Of widows and
orphans
Mr.. Lubin says this plan can not
be put into operation under state and
national laws on titles and foreclosures
and those laws would have TO be modi-
fed. He adds. however that unless
they are modified quality of the bonds
under whatever system would be too
feeble to keep them afloat.

NOW NATIONAL ISSUE.

SuHras ists Hear Report Of Work Of

| Coruaick at the women's suffrage con-
ference here today. sketched the activ-
| tiles of the national congressional COM
raittee OF the National American
Suffrage Association, OF which she Is

That suffrage has place upon the
political map and a national place Of
considerable prominence, was demon
stratad not only by a vote in congress
upon the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment, and the size Of that vote" said
Mrs. Mccormick. but by the action of
the rules committee in refusing to re-
port our measure until safely after the
election The vote itself, however, Is
the significant and instructive thing
for US.
The argument which defeated our
amendment was the state rights argu
ment Yet compare ii with the vote on
the prohibition amendment, three
weeks before, and we find that seventy
two men who voted against US, voted
for the prohibition amendment. which
is a pronounced restriction of the SO
called sovereign rights of the states.
They voted for the prohibition amend
meut because their states or districts
made organized demand that they do
so. a little later forty-three of the
anti suffrage congressman voted
against a child labor bill-because the
mill owners of their districts demanded
that their property interests be pro-
.ect ed agains. ruthless humanitarians
who would insure to little children the
rights of their childhood. But not one
of these forty three men voted against
a national convict labor bill in this
same congress-becaus use the labor or
CARNATIONS insisted that free labor be
protected against convict labor.
Now, it is true prohibitionists and
labor unions have votes and woman
suffragists have not. But to some ex-
tent we suffragists can do what they
can do. We have believed in organized
congressional district campaigns ever
since our committee began its work,
and the vote in congress last winter
proved the value of our plan. It has
also proved that we must have more of
the same sort of thing, vigorous con-
gressional district campaigns and close
cooperation between the state and
federal suffrage workers.
