STEALS FLOUR; GOES
TO JAIL FOR 80 DAYS

Charged with vagrancy as result OF
taking two sacks of -four from the
store of F j Estes, just across the
East Moline line, Otto Gleason of Dav-
export was this morning sentenced to
so days in the county Jail by Magis-
trate Frank GustafsOn, and ]. c. BaX,
driver Of an Ewert & Richter truck,
who was with Gleason, paid S12.05 at
ter pleading guilty to a charge of dis
orderly conduct
About $50 last evening Bax, driv-
ing the Davenport truck, delivered a
consignment of flour at the Estes
store. A few minutes later the truck
drove down the alley back of the store
and Gleason took two sacks of -four
stored in the rear. Estes discovered
the loss and phoned the police. The
truck, with the -four on board, was
stopped at Thirty-fourth street, Mo-
line
Gleason stated that Bax had deliv-
cred two too many sacks of -four and
had told him to go back and get them.
Bax, however, stated that this was
untrue, and pointed out that the brand
of -four taken by Gleason was different
from that he had delivered.
Gleason was at first charged with
larceny, but this was later changed
to vagrancy. Bax was held to blame
for stopping his truck and allowing
Gleason to place the flour within it,
so he was charged with disorderIy
conduct

PARK TAX ASKED
is NOT NEW LEVY
priating Money for the Upkeep of
Its Beauty Places.
ORDER OF THINGS NOW CHANGED
New Law Makes 1t Necessary for Vot-
ers to Authorize a Heretofore
Customary Expenditure.

Opportunity will be presented to
men and women of Moline next Tues
day, July IS, to do something for the
kiddies of the city, and also for the
older people.
On that day there will be an election
to vote upon levying of a 3-mill park
tax and upon the proposition of issuing
bonds in the sum of 1000 for de-
velopment of Browning field.
Today Moline has probably the best
system of parks in the three cities. 1t
has Fairgrounds, largely attended
daily, in four of its parks There are
well-kept baseball diamonds in two of
them and when Browning field is COM
pleted there will be another. 1t has a
swimming pool at Prospect park
which last Sunday drew several hun
dred people from Davenport, some
coming to swim. OF the several hun
dred autos which circle the park the
majority of them bore Iowa licenses.
Whether or not these parks are to
be maintained is the question upon
which the people will vote The city is
short of money and without the 3-mill
park tax it will be impossible to main
tain the parks in their present state.
There is a misconception abroad as
to the proposed 3-mill park tax. There
dTe many people VINO nave SOLt6N the
idea that this is something new. The
people of Moline have been paying this
3-mill tax for years.
1t has to be voted on now for the
first time for the reason that the state
legislature has passed a law which re-
quires that before the 3-mill park tax
can be levied it must be authorized by
a vote of the people. Before this law
was passed, going into effect year
ago the first of this month. the tax had
been levied year after year without
any particular notice being paid by
anyone. For years it has yielded to
the city approximately $21 900 annu-
ally for use in parks.
Now, however, it must be authorized
by vote of the people. They are not
being asked to vote a new tax upon
themselves, but to simply vote to con-
tinue tax which they have paid year
after year. If they vote this tax they
viii be assured that the parks and
will not only be main
tanned as at present. but also that ad-
ditional facilities will be provided.
Bond Issue Justified.
AS to the Browning field bond issue,
that is so arranged that voting it will
not add more than a few cents to each
