THE VOICE OF RACHEL.

Iowa is saddened today by the re-
ports from the battle front where
fifteen more of our Iowa men have
been killed and score or more
wounded. How many and whom is
partially known through the arbi-
trary ruling of marinets that the ad-
dresses of soldiers killed and wound
But we know that in every corner
of Iowa today the voices of Rachaels
are weeping over their children and
mourning that they are not.
The war is upon us. The losses
that the wires tell today are but
the forerunners of greater losses at
hand. We just face the inevitable.

The next list that arrives may bring
it's tale of sorrow and loss to every
town and community in the state.

THE RENTER.

The income tax, while in the main
fair enough, works somewhat of an
injustice on any renter who has
been engaged in the live stock bust
ness for a number of years and then
holds SALE A man of this sort
may perhaps make legitimate in
come of $1,000, but he will go along
for years at a time, living on per-
haps $500 or $500 a year, and saw
ing up the rest of his income in the
form of growing stock. Finally ne
holds sale, selling perhaps $4,000
worth of stuff. All of this stuff
which was not purchased, but which
was raised on the place, must be
turned in as income. Some renters
who had sale in 1917 find them
selves compelled to turn in an in
come of $4,000 or $4,000 whereas
their normal income is perhaps ) >
900.
In the case of the average renter.
who is chiefly engaged in grain
farming, the income tax law as it is
at present is quite Just. But any
renter engaged in the live stock
business, who finds himself compell..
ed to hold sale after a term OF
years, is now comnelled to pay an
income tax altogether too hlgh.
The law, or the Interpretation OF the
law, should be revised to cure TINS
injustice. Wallaces' Farmer.

Figures compiled by the auditor
of the state show that the school
taxes of Iowa have nearly doubled
since 1906. In that year $40, 46;-
1902 was the amount of taxes col
lected for school purposes. In the
same year the taxes collected n the
state was $25,724,1S1. In. 1917. the
amount of school taxes collected was
$40, 1S9, O47. 10, while the total
amount of all the taxes of the state
was $53,646556. It seems that the
amount of school taxes is lncreas-
ing in almost the same ratio as the
amount of general taxes. In l9O5
the amount of school taxes figured
39.4 per cent of all the taxes col
expressing the ratio was S7.6, which
shows that the increase in the gen
eral taxes is trifle greater than
that of school taxes.
