B|ELSK| ON THE AMENDMENTS
Proposed Legislation, Before
Voters at Election, is Fully
Discussed
Dear Mr.. Editor:

In Nlew of the many perpleX-
ing questions and measures which
will confront the voters of the
state on election day it seems
10 me that it would be highly
arpropl ladc that YOU offer the
columns OF your paper to amy anc
afl who might be willing to state
IN advance how they viii vote en-
the various questions, thus en-
abine many who might not be il
a position to dig out for them
selves the merits of said qneS-
>ioni to at least see what others
tA' OF them ard possibly by
this method be better able to-
vote intelligently on the differ

As to the nine proposed a

| Wil vote in favor of the first

as they are arranged upon the

amendment if carried will give
the state the right to construct

I'u'ess this amendment carries
we will derive no benefit what

the terms Of said bill the money
VIII only 90 to such states as
prepare by adequate law to meet
d share of the expense. The mat
ter of good roads is of great an
portance to the development Of
our state and it would seem
folly on our part not to accept
the benefits of this bill.
Amendment number two, if
carried, gives power to the leg
lslature to enact law authOliz-
ing IA given number of men to or
ganize for the purpose of irriga-
tom, the cost of the irrigating to
be met by special assessment on
the parties benefited. Such law
would be highly beneficial to
men whose land is suitably sit
uated for irrigating and to those
whose land is not so situated it
would be no injury. Thus in my
Judgment, the amendment should
carry.
Amendm number three,
authorizes basis OF taxation
whereby improvements ON land
might be assessed at a much low
er rate than the land itself. This
would be a long step toward ex-
empting from taxation improve
ments on land which has been the
desire of many for years past. 1t
also authorizes the legislature to
classify properly and to tax it,
as experience has taught, is best.
For instance: Under our present
system a farm may be mortgaged
for three-fourths of what it is
worth and yet the farmer must

c. E. Durgee. secretary Of the Y.

est1ng little newspaper, Border
Work" published by the army Y. M.
G. A., in the interests of the men now
on the border.
The paper gives the reasons why
100000 should be contributed to
work of the association among the
soldiers on the Mexican border
Thirty-six buildings have been erected
in eighteen camps. These structures
are nearly all 4Ox8O feet in internal
dimensions. and are the centre of the
social life in the camps. Each build
ing has cost from $4,000 to $4,000 to
erect.
1t is estimated by officials of the
association that about 100000 will
be needed for the work in the coming
six months. OF this about 100000
has already been contributed. It
contributed $125 for this work, her
share Of the $4,000 appor.ioned to be
raised by Iowa.
The Rockefellers recently contrib
uted $4,000 to be used In installing
libraries in the various camp build
fngs. Arrangements have been made
for the purchase, distribution and ad-
minfstration Of the libraries, and a
unit will be shipped to each building
In describing one of these associa-
ton camp centers, correspondent
of the Chicago Herald recently wrote:
There are no don't placards

reads: Don't Spit on the Floor
Don't Smoke Don't Chew Don't
Swear If the men want to spit,
they spit; If they want to swear, they
swear; and there is no reproof. But
som chow or another the inclination
to do these things in the average case
seems lacking, and the men omit the
language and action of the troop
street and tent without there being
noticeable an atmosphere of restraint.
There is one reminder only posted
for the men, and that ono il posi-
tive and not negative suggestion.
1t is the little sign, Write Home

A big crowd went by automobile,

we're in good shape, although consid-

the enjoyment of the trip by those
who drove their cars out, however.
The Keokuk fall celebration which
will be staged at Keokuk on October
8 to Z, was advertised by the local
crowd. The big banners announcing
the event were carried on the back
of nearly every Keokuk car, and there
was some OF the celebration adver-
