The same conditions are true in Ia
ma county. We DO not recall a year
when there was a greater demand fol
farms than this year. Quite a number
OF men are quitting farming because
they can not rent any land. The de-
mand In Canada, at least where the
writer is acquainted, Is the same. Ar
ter Canada has been sending young
men to war for three or four years
and there are scarcely any young men
left there is more demand for land
than ever before. There are in fact
not enough farms ready for crop to
supply the demand When you hear
people worry about Iowa farms stand
ing untitled because so many farm
hands have been called into the army
tell them to keep cool. No good land
in Iowa will grow up to weeds this
year. no matter II another draft OF
10000 men is made in the spring or
summer. War works hardships upon
many land owners. as il does upon
many other people. but the farms VIII
be cultivated war or no war.

Eair Criticiam.

In the course Of his speech In the
senate. denouncing the critics of war
department mistakes, Senator James
Of Kentucky, used a striking metaphor
in which he pictured President Wilson
as walking a tight rope stretched across
the sea, bearing the richest treasure
ever lodged in the keeping Of ono man
DO not shake the rope" ad3ured the
Kentucky senator. DO not badger
him, Do not heckel him. He will
make the Journey safely over this
ocean of blood and peril. Keep silence.
Hold your tongues
This IS good, sound, well-meant ad-
vice. Nobody should shake the rope or
attempt to badger or heckel the presi-
dent IN the administration Of his diff
cult and delicate duties. All realize the
tremendous responsibilities which abe
his, and every loyal citizen will re-
fra.n from embarrassing him or plac-
ing any obstacles IN his way.
But in this per!lous Journey which
Senator James pictures the president
as taking, suppose traitors try to cut
the rope, and slackers let II drop, and
grafters interfere with the president
Must honest men keep silent and fail
to give the alarm? Does Senator
James mean that every person under
the president shall be immune to
criticism? Il he does, then he u going

is being done by the officials upon
whom the president Is forced to place
important responsibilities.
Mr.. Wilson himself has not once, but
repeatedly invited honest criticismm
stating that he would regard It as
misfortune il he could not receive the
benefit Of proper criticism. Some OF
his subordinates. however. are not sc
clear headed in their attitude toward
public criticism. Among them are the
''prima donnas' jokingly referred to
by the president; men who do no.

not continually fed by flattery are dis
posed to sulk
Recent public utterances Of the
chairman OF the senate committee on
military affairs. criticising the work o!
certain branches Of the war depart
ment, created a great furore and fur
nished the basis for the Kentucky SEN
ators speech. And yet, since the de-
livery Of that address. the country has
witnessed virtual reorganization OF
the war department, coupled with a
speeding up OF war preparations that
has been most heartening to the
American people.
How much OF this improvement Is
due to the address Of Senator Cham
berlain Is problematical. but the fac,
stands that material benefits followed
it's delivery. 1t was based upon facts
and figures supplied by the heads o!
bureaus who knew their subjects and
it was not tinged with any feeling OF
unfr!endliness. Criticism Of this sort
cannot be safely banned. for It II L.

SOUNDS LIKE 4 JOKE.
Huntington Hawkeye.

The income tax law urder which
taxes are now being collected for the
YEAR 1877. contains clause eNemptinS
"the compensation of all officers and
employees Of a state or any political
subdivision Of a state. except when
such compensation is paid by the
United States government. This in
cludes the official salaries received by
public school teachers"
II view of the fact that III Iowa at
least there has been complaint, loud
and long and unendirg. over the en-
tirelv inadequate compensation or
teachers. IL must appear very much
like a cruel joke to these teachers,
somthing akin to bitter sarcasm when
they are sravely informed by the
United states government that they
are specially exempted from the pay
Irrrt Of this tax. Under the general
rules. which exerlpts the unmarried
person, who has been earning 81 600 or
less and the married person who has
been earning 5000 or less. these teach
ers would have ESCAPED the income tax.

Iowa would D. but too glad to pay In

WEALTH MUST
YIELD TO FUEL
RIGHT OF WAY
Mrs. Vanderbilt and ]. B.
Duke Denied Their
Private Cars.

James B. Duke. Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and other wealthy per-
sons have recently been denied the
comfort of private railway cars IN
accordance with the ruling of Dl-
rector McAdoo. Since the govern
ment took over the railroads pri-
vate cars have been allowed in three
instances, where foreign war mis-
sions were concerned.
In turning down the request of
Mrs. Vanderbilt to be permitted the
use of a private car from New York
to Spartanburg. S. c., Director Nc
Adoo informed her that the govern
ment will insist on having 20 pas
sengers in every vehicle of that
type. The payment of an equal
number of tickets will not be al
lowed.
A similar notification was sent
to Mr.. Duke, who, according to the
Federal transportation officials,
asked for a car to take him from
New York to Baltimore. Illness
was given as the reason for the re-
quest, but Director McAdoo stated
Ohly SAlIc cases
could be considered.
The majority of the private cars
are now interned in Southern rail-
way yards where they will be held
until the close of the war. The di-
rector of transportation has given
orders that, no matter who demands
the use Of the cars, they are not to
be moved.
Food and fuel must be kept
he stated.
A series of special trains COM
prising 1.09S cars loaded with food
for the allies. are on the way from
Chicago to New York. These trains
have been given right OF way over
all other traffic. The movement
was started yesterday and is the
largest of its kind undertaken since
the government took charge of the
transportation problem.
