him several children, and long and
happy life appeared to be his, but in
an evil hour he took to drink, with the
above results. There is feeling of uni

his brothers and sisters, and the unfor-
tunate children, who have been made or
phans by his terrible deed. Darlington

prived of life was daughter of Mrs.

Council Bluffs, April 3.-Immediate-
~ following the filing of an inventory
by the administrators Of the estate OF
Gen. Grenville NJ. Dodge, revealing an
estate much greater than the general
public had believed he possessed.
suit was instituted by the county IN
the name of George H. Mayne, special
counsel, to collect delinquent taxes on
the personal property of General
Dodge aggregating nearly $1,o0o,ooo,
The suit was once withdrawn after
being filed and was then refiled late
in the evening. Meanwhile, 1t Is re-
ported, an effort was made to reach
settlement between the administrators
and the county and it is said that ne
gotiations are still pending towards an
amicable agreement which will obVlate
the necessity of suit to collect the
delinouent taxes None of the parties
to the action will talk The sum de-
manded in the action Is not puolfciy
given out and is only surmised from
a review of the inventory Of the estate
as filed by the administrators. This Is
based upon the estimate that the tax
as levied in recent years would
amount to about $4,000 year, and
it would be obligatory, say attorneys,
for the administrators to show that
General Dodge had acquired this vast
estate within the last year OF his lie
to release the estate from a tax Tor
the years not released automatically
by the statute Of limitations. There
would also be deductions for the sums
paid by General Dodge on his personal
tax. which has always been consider
ably in excess of that paid by any
other citizen of Council Bluffs.
The sums named in General Dodge's
requests to his alma mater and to the
city, aggregating $4,000, cut figure
in the tax affairs.
Suits Involve Million Dollars.
With the suits instituted against the
Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Rail-
way Company and its subsidiary or
plantations, the Dodge action consti-
tutes a remarkably large demand for
delinquent taxes. and even II part OF

SENATOR KENYON ADVOCATES
REDUCTION IN LOCAL DE-

ONE CENT POSTAGE

Profit From 2-Cent Local Postage
Changes and Reduction Would Not
Result in Loss of Revenue--Present
Rates Not Proportionate.
special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington, April 3--'Should con-
sress enact legislation at this session
reducing the postage rate on local de-
livery sealed letters. from cents to
cent, it will serve as a great boom to
general business. said Senator Will
! am s. Kenyon, of Iowa today, in an
sNeF TO query as 10 whether the time
was opportune for letter postage legis-
?aliOn. Tho proposition is one of such
merit as to justify early attention on
the part of congress-" continued the
senator
Prosperity reigns in certain sections
I OF the country but in no degree of per-
manency. This condition, in its most
I favorable aspect, IS due solely to the
! demands created by the European war.
! BY making the rates of postage on let
.%rs more eQuita BILE it will serve as d
"tlmulant to business in those sections
at the country that are not enjoying
the war order harvest. However, the
proposed rate on local delivery let
tiers will be of inestimable benefit to
every patron of the postal service"
Governments Profit Exorbitant.
No sound argument can be offered,
said Senator Kenyon, for the exist
arce of a rate on local letters equal
tc the rate charged for letters deliv-
cred thousands of miles from thelr
, place Of origin. Since local letters
Go not involve any railway or steam
ship transportation. or expense OF
ma ndling en- route. the profit to the
government on this class Of mail must
be eXorbitant We are informed by
postal experts that the cost for hand
I ling a local letter Will not exceed one
fourth of a cent each. Some experts
! have placed it as low as one-tWelfth
of a cent in some thick!y populated
cities And for this service the Amer
lean people are required to pay profit
| of several hundred per cent.
! In considering great national
question Of this kind we should bear
in mind the benefits that are to be
| derived by the general public. In this
| case it seems evident that the benefits
would be tremendous to patrons Of the
postal service.
! No Loss in Revenue.
Again to use the authority Of pos
| tai experts, the reduction in the Local
| rate can be made without loss of rev.
enue. Perhaps for a few months after
! the inauguration of the l-cent local
| rate the revenues would fall off but by
| the end of the first year the revenues
| would probably total even more than
under the old rate. With every reduc-
! ton in the letter rate there has i'm
mediately followed a tremendous in
| crease in the volume of mail.
When this congress opened l intro
! duced a bill in the senate proposing
| l-cent rate on local letters. The pos
! tai committee has not yet reported
| the bill However, | hope its provisions
may be incorporated in the regular
postal appropriation bill which Will
soon be reported to the floor for con-
sideration"
