THE CAUSE OF 1T.

Washington. July PA ''Ber-
mnda high is the official cause
of the worst heat wave that has
envploped the country in fifteen
years. Translated from the cry
ptic language of the weather
sharpers, that means a great area
OF high pressure air has been
mobolizing on the weather drill
ground i'm the Atlantic, off Ber-
muda. for the last month and
now has left in full power of it's
offensive on the seaboard to the
Rockies.
For weeks it has stood like a
wall heated current trying valE x
to move out from the interiors
over The ocean and now as it
moves rapidly along il is gather
ing heat and moisture from the
tropics and sweeping them to-
ward the north over the continent
into the vacuum of so-called
low pressure areas Although
it's greater intensity has not vet
reached the Pacific coast, it is
expected TO do so within the next
few days. No relief is promised
from the phenomena which in the
east has caused city dWellers to
light fires in the homes to dry out
the humidity or which in the
Mississippi valley is threatening
to destroy billions Of dollars
worth of food crops.

BONDS DO NOT
INCREASE TAXES.

some people Very strangely inn
aSlnf that road bonds viii in
crease taxes when the very intent
and purpose OF a road bond is ia
make more permanent road work
possible now without Increasing
the road tax, lust as he school
bond makes The brick school
house possible al once with ONLY
9 very small TAX each year. The
difference is that we have road
taxes enough now fixed by law to
grade and gravel our country
roads on the bond plan without
any more tax.
The people of almost every
county in Iowa are paying taxes
rnH for their county roads alone
at the rate of 81 600. 900 during
the next twenty years, when half
that sum expended in a lump
Y o.ild grade and gravel the entire
county road system of the aver
age county. BY issuing bonds
Wr could build The roads i'm two or
th' ee years and have them to use
While the bonds We're being paid
o:a OF the regular taxes which we
are sning to pay anyway. Last
year we paid our lax and aver
aged only five miles graded and
Two miles gravelcd in each county.
At this rate we will be from hir-
ty to 100 wears Ceiling our roads
improved and then we will have
all the township roads left.
9sOme people cry out AGAINST
going into debt. but we are i'm debt
now for the TAX. 1t must he paid
every year forever. The lax is
the debt. Ne are i'm debit for a
million dollars for county roads
in the average county, 800. 000,-
600 i'm The entire state. That debt
is on us now. by issuing bonds
we merely make a few years taxes
available at once.
We can do so much more With
bonds which make money avail
able for contracting our road
work i'm large units That we will
save more than the interest in
first cost. Crawford county has
contracted for grading at I
cents, which had been costing %
cents. Hills are being cut at This
price for $3.50 per mile which had
been costing Sl.l00. Clay county
is issuing bonds and has let a
contract for hauling gravel al 80
cents, which had been costing so
cents by team. The contractor
uses auto trucks and trailers. AT
this cost the highway commits
sion s requirement of $50 cubic
yards to The mile of graveled road
can be hauled for $40 which
had been costing $40. The
higher type calling for 500
cubic yards Will cost only S46a
when it had been costing $3.50 in
Clay county.
! Last year in Iowa $4,000. coo
out n0s7 100000 spent upon dirt
roads went into temporary work
according to the reports of The
ninety-nine county engineers.
This temporary work has to be
done over again every season and
is lost. We waste $50 per cent
more money than we invest in
permanent work. In twenty years
this waste OF So out OF every 81
will amount 10 800. 100000. We
are i'm debt for that now unless
we change ou system.
There is no need for higher
road taxes i'm Iowa. The thing to
do is 10 build more permanently
with the taxes we pay now.

BERLIN, Germany, June ga
practically official and very emphatic
denial that Germany has anything 10
do with Mexican difficulties with the
United States was made yesterday
by Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
1T is obviously impossible" the
chancellor said, for the highest Off
cial in a great empire like Germany
to give his attention to every report
of this sort that comes and to dignity
such reports by taking the trouble to
deny them Anyone who knows the
facts about Mexico must see that the
reports Of German influence having
anything to do with the situation be-
tween Mexico and the United States
are perfectly ridiculous. Our legation
in Mexico has nothing whatever to do
with the matter"

Gen. Pershing continued to send frag-

Carrizal to Gen. Funston's headQuar-
tiers yesterday. AS further details OF
the engagement come to hand, the
conduct OF the American troopers and
their officers shows in increasing
bright coiors.
It was q heroic struggle in the face
of tremendous odds and without hope
of relief or assistance.
When the treacherous machine gun
began buszing, Capt. Charles T. Boyd,
commanding Troop H. 10th Cavalry
who had been comforting with Gen.
Gomez, ordered his men to fall back
to a little irrigation ditch that was
back OF their POSITION. They did so
and entrenched themselves there.
Capt. Morey was not so fortunate.
His troop was thanked from the first
and he fell back until he found shelter
in an adobe house, one of the out
buildings, apparently of the Santo Do
mingo ranch.

charge, in the hope of scattering the
Mexicans. Up tIom the ditch the col
order troopers OF Troop H rose and
charged straight through the town OF
Carrizal, a struggling wide street, and
half u dozen adobe houses. Capt.
Boyd remained mounted, although
most Of his men had been dismounted
at the commencement of the fighting,
say the vague reports from the front,
and he rode at the head Of his men.
Twice he was ShOt-the first time
