CUMNIINS FOR PRESIDENT.

To the Republicans of Iowa:-
/ have been selected as the Chair
man of republican organization to
further the candidacy of Senator AL
bert B. Cummins for the republican
nomination for President. 1t is be-
lieved by a great many people
throughout the country that his NOM
ination would do more to strengthen
the republican party, and make sue
cess next year certain, than the NOM
ination of any other man. OF his pub
| lie life, both as Governor of Iowa
and as Senator, | need not speak be-
cause it is well known to all. Fortu-
nately, there seems to be no differ
ence of opinion among the republi-
cans of the state upon the matter,
and so far as known they are hearty
and cordial in his support, without
respect to former controversies. The
campaign in his behalf must be con-
Quoted without much expense and
largely by individual effort. The
states lying west of Iowa are made
up in considera BILE Veasure of men
and women who formerly lived here.
They are active and influential in.
their several communities, and can
determine the outcome of the pri-
maries and conventions. The pur-
pose of this letter is to ask every
man or woman in Iowa who wants to
do something for the candidacy Of
Senator Cummins to write to his
friends and acquaintances in other
states, enlisting their interest in the
cause | have indicated, and having
done so, to send the correspondence
or list of people so written to me at
Des Moines, SO that the committee
may be able to avail itself of the in
formation so secured.

THE ROAD HOG.

Automobiles who suffer from the
activities of the road hog" are rec
cmmended to DR.. A. l.. Marks of Spo-
kane, who by close study of the sci
ence OF grenade throwing as practic-
ed in European trench warfare,
thinks he has evolved a sure offen-
sive weapon against the driver, who
will not turn out to allow cars be-
hind him to pass. The scheme has
not been patented, and is said by its
originator to combine certain sport
ing pleasures with utility. Ever since
the early part of the summer DR..
Marks has had trouble with road
hogs. When he came back from
the San Francisco exposition the doc
tor brought along quantity of voci-
ferrous torpedoes. They were the kind
used by children on July A but large
and powerful. Some of these were
in his pocket when he took a recent
trip to Mount Spokane. An unusual
,y obstinate driver was ahead of him
on the road to the mountain. He re-
fused absolutely to yield enough of
the road for the doctors car to pass.
Then one of the torpedoes landed
between his back wheels. DR.. Marks
had, as he swept by fieeting view
of the former hog dismounted at
the side of the road examining every
tire for the blowout he was sure he
heard. Torpedoes are part of the doc
tors equipment now on every long
trip he makes.

THE LIVABLE TOWN,
During Past Ten Years $50 Towns
in Middle Western State Have
Decreased in Population.

Why are so many country towns
going backward? During the past ten
years $50 towns in a middle western
state have decreased in population.
The rural districts of another have
lost $4,000 people. Practically every
other middle western state has suf-
fered in the same way, and it is be-
lieved that shortly every state east
of the Rocky mountains will face this
condition. At the same time every
large city in these states has shown
"a remarkable growth in population.
This indicates that the young people
of the rural districts and small towns
are dissatisfied with conditions, and
gravitate to the larger towns because
of the pleasures and better living
conditions they hope to find there.
Until we make our small towns at
tractive we cannot hope to hold the
young people. There must be amuse
ment for them. We must stop the
continue, nagging, the passage of
narrow laws, the constant fretting of
cider people who see in the pleasures
of youth eternal damnation and the
end of morality. Times change, and
with them goes the narrowness Of
puritanism. In years gone by, dane
ing was condemned Now dancing
is recognized as a healthful pastime.
1t is encouraged, or should be- If the
young people desire to dance the new
dances, why not let them? The old
people of today, if they dance at all,
waltzed and two-stepped, where their
grandfathers and grandmothers dane
ed square dances and the minuet.
Simp1y because a fad is new, it is not
necessarily immoral. Encourage the
young people in all the harmless
amusements of the day, regardless
of what you did when young or what
your parents taught you to do. This
is a new generation We are trying to
keep in the small towns, and youth
demands it's play. Be broad and liber-
Ial. Narrowness in teaching or by
law can only result in disrespect for
Authority and law; in making harder
the lives of those who don't think as
we do or in driving them entirely out
Iof the community and to those places
where they can have the freedom of
thought and action.

Continued demand for motor cars
in this country and abroad has
brought remarkable increase in
sales, the figures for the past year,
as compiled and just announced by
Alfred Reeves, general manager OF
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, showing the production
to have been 703,527 cars, valued
wholesale at $523,463,SO3, which is

The call for the big, luxurious cars
continues, although the greatest sales
during the past year have been in the
rural districts, where the automo-
bile's value as time saver is appre-
ciated in the highest degree.
Sales Of pleasure or passenger cars
of all types to June 80, which is the
end Of the year in the industry,
were 665,S26, for which the manu-
facturers received $450,941,13I,
while the sales of commercial vehi-
cles, of all types are estimated at ST.

1t will be noted that, while the
number of cars increased SO Fer

Washington, d. c., Sept. 20
Revenue legislation for the coming
session of congress was discussed Fri
day at long conference between
Secretary McAdoo and Representa-
tive Claude kitchin of North Caro-
lima, majority leader of the next
house of representatives
Democratic leaders are convinced
legislation must be enacted to swell
government receipts in view Of the
prospects of continued war in Europe,
Customs receipts have not shown any
tendency to increase and internal
revenue receipts are not equa, to a
few years ago. The certainty that
large appropriations will be demand
ed for the army and navy also must
be taken into consideration. Mr.. Nc
Adoo and Mr.. Kitchin did not reach
any agreement as to what measure
may be necessary.

According to a count made by the
drys Iowa has 4S3 saloons which
will be permanently closed on Jan.
1, 1916, by repeal of the mulct law.
There has been reduction of
eighty-eight in the number of saloons
in the state in the last twelve months,
the report shows. This is due to the
closing of eighty-six saloons in Das
Moines and two in Valley Junction.
Special legislation by the Thirty
sixth general assembly prevented a
reduction in the number of saloons
on July 1, 1915, in Dubuque and
Davenport TO every 1000 inhabitants.
AS it is certain that the saloons
must close on Jan. /, the temperance
forces are warning the men engaged
in that business to prepare to get
out when the time comes. With more
than three months to prepare, the
drys say that every man drawing
wages from the liquor interests will
have opportunity to land some other
job, so that there should be but lit
tie inconvenience when the doors
close permanently.
A year ago there were 571 saloons
in Iowa. There are now 4S3 booze
establishments. The reduction in
two years has been 1856.
The number of saloons left in each
wet county follows: Boone 10, Bre-
mer 8, Carroll 10, Clayton 21, Clin-

The total population of the state
according to the 1910 census is q
224,771. The population of the ci-
ties and towns now having saloons is
3S4,534.
Davenport has seventy-four sa-
looms. Under the mulct law it is en-
titled to forty-three, the drys say.
Dubuque has flfty-eight saloons,
while only thirty-eight would be per-
mi ted under the mulct law. The last
legislature granted these cities per
mission to continue all the booze es-
tablishments in operation, until Jan.

IOWANs AND INCOME TAX.
Causes Writer i'm Washington
to Draw Conclusions.

The question whether Iowa people
are paying their share of the income
tax was raised last week in lengthy
editorial in the Washington Herald.
The basis for the article, which
maintains that Iowa people are dodg-
ing income taxes, is a statement that
Iowa is proving paradise for the
sale of automobiles, that $4,000 cars
were sold there last year, and that
Iowa people spent $4,000, ,000rfor
new autos and $4,000, 900 more for
gasoline and repairs.
Only $264,315 Income Tax.
1t is pointed out that while Iowa
people were spending enormous sums
for new autos, yet the internal reve-
nue. figures showed Iowa paid only
s264,315 income tax, whereas the
little District of Columbia paid $685.
'673.
"At this rate" says the Herald,
"the rich people of Iowa paid about
q cents per capita and the poor peo-
pie of the district paid $1.14 per
capita as an individual income tax"
1t points out that by census fig
ures Iowa has nearly eight billions or
wealth, while the district has about
one billion.
How Paper Accounts for 1t.
The Herald says. it can only ac-
count for the remarkable situation
on the theory that the Iowa people
have been so busy gathering riches
and buying automobiles that they
have not had time to study the in
come tax law and examine the blanks
sent out by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue.
The comparison of income tax paid
in Iowa and the District Of Colum-
bia in part grows out Of the fact
Senator Kenyon has been active In
trying to get taxes in the district in
creased. The explanation of the fact
that Iowa though enormously rich,
pays so little income tax, as given by
internal revenue office here, is that
| it has a great number of people who,
while fairly "well off," do not have
annual incomes that require them to
pay income taxes.

Ranks High i'm Value.

But in value, the hogs Of Iowa are
more than one-seventh of the value
of all those in the nation. Total value
of the swine of the entire country is
given as $637,479, 900. The Iowa
herds are worth $95, 900, or over
one-seventh of the value of the entire
number of swine in the United States
The total number of swine in the
United States increased from 5S,-
$4,000 Jan. /, 1914 to 64,61S, 900
Jan. /, 1915. This was an increase
of something less than 100000
for the whole country. In the same
time, the Iowa swine population
alone increased nearly 100000. In
other words, Iowa was credited with
about a third of the entire national
increase in the swine industry in the
year named.
