CREATES BAD IMPRESSION.

burlington Hawkeye.l
Some one has been adding up the in
debtedness of the IOWA cities and
towns and finds that these cities and
towns have sunk $l.473.5O5 deeper in :
to debt than they were a year ago" or
words to that effect. 1t looked as il
the rich state of Iowa were going to
ruin. 1t is one of those half truths that
are worse than the grossest intentional
misstatements. 1t plants a picture of
poNert! ana would seem to indicate a
state of hopelessness. and that the
people instead of trying to work out of
oebt were getting in deeper and deeper.
mat Is the impression which state
ments OF that kind would make upon
people who do not know Iowa. And
we must bear in mind that there are
many people in the east who do not
know Iowa, and believe that the Hawk
eye state is out on the border and that
we are a community of border folk.
hunters and trappers. fighting Indians
ana enjoying an occasional buffalo hunt.
ana experiencing all the romance and
all the Inconvenience of border life.
The fact is that the aggregate debt
increased. But while it is a debt in
the bookkeepers sense. it is not really
debt. after all. For on the other side
of the account there must be placed all
manner of improvements that have
been worth all that they cost. 1t might
be noted in this respect, that when an
Iowa city or town desires to place
bonds on the market. there is always a
lively competition for these bonds, and
they always bring a handsome prem
ium. There is not "A town in the state
whose Indebtedness. no matter how
large II may appear. is not mere
bagatelle as compared with the actual
value of the town property. There is
not town in the state that could not
get cat of debt in very few years. if
that were deemed necessary or desir-
able. and who could do that without
making any special effort or submitting
&c 81 mnns;iai strain. Let &s hear no
more about Iowa cities and towns
sinking further into debt" in order
that some of the outsiders may not get
an entirely erroneous impression OF the
best state in the union with the very
best cities and towns in the union.

USES FOR MEN
IN FIRST DRAFT

In the Army and Navy Journal of
May 5, the first outline of the tenta-
tive plan drawn by the army war col
lege, on the composition of the army,
is given, 1t covers the various COM
panies, squadrons, etc, that will
make up the first call of 100000 men
to be raised under the selective draft
bill.
The officers of this force will be
drawn from the regular army and the
national guard, the officers reserve
corps and the country at large"
The war college recommended that
200, 900 men be withdrawn from the
army and guard (when both are re-
! cruited to full authorized strength J
for appointment as company officers
and on-commissioned officers in the
new army. The college advised
against any estimate which would
give less than 10000 men from this
source.
1t is the specific purpose of the wal
department that each regiment in the
new forces shall be commanded by ar
officer from the regular establish
ment, and at least one of his major:
and all of the staff officers (adjutant

be experienced men from the regular

WELLS FARGO COMPANY

A few days ago the long pending
tax maetter between Wells, Fargo &
Cos express and the state of Neva-
da, and the various counties thereof
was settled by mutual agreement Of
the express company's representa-
tives and the tax commission, says
the Carson Appeal The controversy
between the parties at issue has been
continuous since 1910, when the ex-

ment A law suit resulted in which
the company came out second best,
but the matter was carried to the
higher courts when a decision was
rendered by the supreme court.
On the basis of the settlement the
company will pay taxes for all the
years delinquent, including 1917, on
a rate of $3.50 per mile. This means
that the company will pay in approx
imately $4,000, in which Lincoln
county will get portion.

The first violation of the new liq-
uor ordinance, enacted recently by
the Lincoln County Liquor board, was
called to the attention of the boar,!
at its meeting last Wedne sday and
the offending parry suffered the pen
atty of having his two licenses re
,oked, the same becoming effective
on the 18th inst. s- s-rm
j. A. Clark the license holder in
question, was cited to appear before
the board ard snow cause why the
penalty fixed by the law should not
be invoked. 1t came OF the knowl-
edge of the board that Clark had
not conformed to the regulations OF
the ordinance, by disregarding that
feature which requires the closing Of
saloons at midnight. He is the holder
of licenses to conduct a saloon busi-
ness in the Kahn building where
George Reed formerly ran ''wet
shop; also in the room located ad-
jacent to the old Welland building,
where AL. limerick is in charge.

Clark, in the upper place, had on

Damage
Action

Claiming that he has been damaged
to the amout of s25,doO Emil J.
Denkle, a Caliente business man,
has filed suit in the district court
against Frank Palmer, justice of the
peace at Caliente; VIM. f. Orr, dis
trict attorney; Dan j. Ronnow, for
mer sheriff; G. p. Christensen. for
mer deputy sheriff; and James Ryan,
w. b. Pace, Hans Olsen, III. II. Lee,

Wedge. who were bondsmen for the
foregoing named officials.
The specific grounds for action, ac-
cording to the complaint filed in the
Office of County Clerk Denton, is NAL
icious prosecution and false imprison-
ment.
The details of events which led up
to the bringing of the suit are we'll
known to large majority of the
readers of the Record. Some years
ago, the praintiff was arrested for
cutting down several trees located
on the railroad right of way at Cal
iente, which mo claimed o6struCted
the view of the sign which he had
placed in front of his place of busi-
ness at considerable cost. Following
his arrest, Denkle was convicted in
Judge Palmer's court and committed
to the county jail. He served several
days, when the plaintiff alleges, he
was released upon signing some kind
| of document in which it was set forth
that he would gain his release upon
agreeing not to bring an action for
! damages against the county or any
! of its officials. Now Denkle claims
that he was intimidated into signing
the paper and that the officials knew
that he was illegally incarcerated or
else he would not have been asked tc
affix his name to the document. He
also says that his business has been
damaged and that he has otherwise
suffered annoyance and untold mental
anguish for all of which he prays fol
judgment for the amount stated
and costs. ...
He is represented by an attorney
located at Los Angeles.

LIQUOR Board RcV0keS ri
Clark Saloon Licenses

such an ordinance was in effect; also
that on number of occasions some
of the boys from the mines came in
late in the evening and he didn't
believe that it was just the proper
thing to close the doors and refuse
to dispense to them the necessary
article to quench their thirst just be-
cause the hands of the clock were at
twelve.
District Attorney Orr informed
Clark that as member of the board,
he believed, and every other
member viewed the matter in the
same light, that the ordinance should
be enforced: that is would not be
right to allow one saloon to run after
the designated closing hour, while
others complied with the law. 1t
would not be fair, he declared, to
the others engaged in the saloon busi-
ness and would only lead to con-
tention. "lf the ordinance is not a
good one," he said, 'the quicker
we find it out the better, but there
is no use making a farce of it."
After several wordy tits between
Clark and several members of the
board, it was decided to revoke the
two licenses and as a matter of lem
iency the order was made effective
on the 18th inst.
The two licenses expire on the
30th inst, and then it will be up to
the pleasure of the board whether
they shall be renewed or not.
