Special to Times-Republican
Grinneli, Sept. 9.-Owing to the fact
that delays due both to lack Of labor
and shortage of materials have pre-
vented the completion of the new
alumni recitation building at Grinnetl
by the time college opens next Wee
uesday, strenuous efforts are being
made to provide adequate facilities for
class room work, which is expected
this year to require more room than
ever before in the history of the col
lege.
Before work had progressed very 1ar
on the new recitation building now
under construction it was found that
it would be a physical impossibility TO
have it in shape for occupation by
Sept. 10. Continued delays all thru
the summer have prevented any rush
ing of work on the building and the
administration now does not expect to
place classes in it before the opening
of the second semester.
Consequently the problem offered by
the prospect Of greatly increased en-
rollment is serious one and students
and professors will necessarily work
under somewhat crowded conditions
until the new building is completed IN
the winter.
AS was the case last year the col
lese library will be brought into use
for recitation purposes. This will mean
that the proposed expansion Of library
space and consequent increased eff
will
be postponed until midwinter. 1t also
means that the administration office
room in Chicago hall can not be ex-
banded and the administration officials
must again be pinched for room
Expect Increase in Enrolment.
But little definite information as to
the probable enrolment in the college
can be obtained until the registration
DAYS are. over%but ut is expected that
the total; of sT92 Students enrolled last
year will he exceeded. Prospects point
to a freshman class containing about
$50 men. AS the quadrangle is COM
pletely filled and also a private house
purchased by the college this summer
for the purpose Of accommodating
new women, it is expected that the
yeariing registration this fall will ap-
proach- the. 800 mark. -
Next Monday and Tuesday are the
registration days and classes will COM
ence Wednesday morning. A large
number of students, mostly men are
already in Grinnell. Most Of these are
students who either have work mere
during the college year or are on the
ground early in an effort to find EN-
ploy7nent to pay part Of their college

In this way the mistake of raising
more money than Is absolutely re-
quired to carry on the public work
will be avoided, he thinks.
Three years ago, when the state
executive council raised property
valuations. many county boards of
supervisors kept the levies at what
they had been in previous years. With
property values Increased and the
levy the same as it had been before the
increase, the amount of money there
by collected in taxes was in excess OF
what was necessary. If the amount of
money which was to be raised had
been taken into consideration in view
of the increased value of the property
no such mistake would have been
made
1t is probable that the state legisla-
ture will be asked to enact law pre-
venting taxing bodies from making
more than a 5 per cent increase in, the
amounts asked for annually. This is
said to have been the most successful
method employed in other states thus
far to prevent tax eaters" or public
bodies which ask for big sums of
money, from increasing taxes at such
a rate as is often done.
The National Tax Association which
met in Indianapolis last week dis
cussed these problems at some length

Des Moines. Sept 9.-The national
presidential campaign is not yet excit
ing much interest over the state If the
expression of men in touch with pub
lie affairs coming into Des Moines is
an indication. 1t is expected, however.
that politics will begin to liven up mex
week. for the members of congress VIII
be getting back in their home districts
and starting things.
There Is not much political discus
sion as regards the national issues as
yet up in our county that | have no.
ticed." said William Dennis. of Cedar
Rapids. who was in Des Moines yes
terday "Of course we hear more state
issues discussed than national issues
II haven't heard much political talk
as yet up around F,lma," said Repre-
sentative Lee w. Elwood. of Howard
county. when in Des Moines a few
days ago. Il think most of the inter-
est so far is among the politicians
themselves so far as national issues go.
OF coure there Is more interest in state
than in national politics"
The tariff and the business policy of
the nation are generally exciting more
comment than any Of the other national
issues. The reimbursement of business
following the close of the war is rec
ognized as one of the problems ahead
of the next administration as well as
the meeting o. the great issues between
nations which will arise before the war
can he brought to close.
When Hughes comes to Iowa in Oc-
tober. however. he will speak to record
breaking crowds, the leaders here are
predicting. Iowa has heard much Of
Hughes for the past several years and
yet comparatively few Iowa people
have ever had the opportunity of hear
ing him. He made a few speeches in
this state in the campaign of 1908.

Grinneu, Sept. yesterday closed
the first attempt of the Grinnell taif
Association to run tive-day TAR anu
the result has indicated the Judgment
Of the directors, under favorable
weather conditions. Had it been a
rainy week the deficit must have been
large. The last day was excellent In
weather conditions. the roads were 5000
and the attendance kept up remarkably
even tho the stores of the city were
kept open in the afternoon while they
had been closed the three days pre-
ceding. The policy of evening enter
tainments on the fair ground has been
fully justified again this year as it was
last year the quality of such enter
tainment being of the high class.
The Grinnel canning factory is u
busy place these past few days as the
season Is drawing to a close and the
corn will soon be too hard for canning.
The factory continues work until mid
night and one night until in the
morning to keep the corn on hand from
spelling. On that day there were 1900
cans made ready for consumption.
While there is more than ordinary
waste from the field to the can this
year the company is likely to show a
good balance at the close of the sea-
son.
When the eectrolier lighting system

tenn from the club and will maintain
and operate the system until the ex-
praton of the present charter Of the
