Who Pays Road Taxes.

More than two-thirds OF the traffic
on the states most travelled highways
is from towns and cities. The traffic
originates in towns and cities and ends
there Farm traffic on these same
roads is little more than % per cent of
the total.
Despite this apportionmcnt Of road
usage, the county road taxes on farm
property are from one to six times as
great as on city and town property,
according to figures issued by the state
highway commission.
These figures were derived from the
traffic census taken last fall by the
Iowa state college from the tax book
of the various road districts.
Some action may be taken shortly by
various counties to even up the taxes.

store, has a copy of the Nashua Re-
porter, telling of the damage done
many of the homes in the vicinity rec
emily by the tornado which swept
through there.
The Shaws were at one time resi-
dents of Nashua, and it was upon the
farm formerly occupied by them, now
the home of l.. E. Weber, that Roy
Husband was killed. The home was
completely demolished by the wind.
George Twogood, formerly Of this
city and well known here, lost his fine
farm home in the tornado. None OF
the Twogood family was injured, as
the members were away at the time

The U. S. agricultural department
has advised farmers to give up their
seed wheat. The U. S. food admin
istration is collecting it. The govern
ent may commander all the wheat.
Food Administrator Deems of Iowa
has sent out the following notice:
"All wheat is requisitioned by the
Government, the time first being
given having now elapsed, and we
propose that farmers having wheat in
their possession bring it into the
nearest mill or elevator at once. We
find it is unnecessary for Iowa far
mers to retain any wheat at all for
seeding purpose next fall"

Use Chamber OF Commerce.
WIS.,

The Webster City Chamber of Com
merce is now headquarters for the
Red Cross, the War Savings Stamp
campaign and the county food ad-
ministration. Webster City and the
community adjacent have made use
of this body in various war activities
during the past six months. In fact,
without the organization of this body,
the city would have been in very poor
shape to take a leading hand in the
various campaigns that have been
carried on. The absolute necessity of
some civic organization such as this
has been apparent since the nation en-
tered the war.
The Chamber of Commerce has
turned it's whole organization over to
war activities, giving the use of its
office as headquarters for the various
drives and donating the whole time of
it's paid secretary to the work of as
sisting in the various campaigns.
The work of Secretary Want HUI has
been of very high character.
Webster City and Hamilton county
certainly owe big vote of thanks
to the Webster City Chamber of Com
merce for the facilities it has furn-
ished in the several patriotic activi-
ties in which it has engaged. In fact
this organization has done absolutely
nothing since last fall except to turn
its whole activities into patriotic
channels. The members are practical
ly donating their dues to the end that
Webster City and Hamilton county
may "do her bit" in systematic
manner and in the quickest way pos
sible toward a successful prosecution
of the war.

Day Current for More Factories.

Day current 1Or More FACTORIES.
City Manager G. J. Long is prepar-
ing to increase the daytime load car
ried at the municipal electric plant
to provide power which several fac
tories of the city are planning to use
in the near future.
The Webster City Mills are contem-
plating changing from the oldtime
steam plant to electric power, as is the
National Retarder Works, east of the
city. A plan is on foot to run a line
out to the plant, which will carry the
sixty to seventy-five per cent current
to be used. Steam has formerly been
used at the works.
Business concerns, which have occa-
sion to use power of any kind, are re-
sorting more and more to the use of
electricity. With several smaller
businesses adopting it's use, the city
daytime power will amount to 1875
horse power, which will net the city an
additional gross monthly income of be-
tween $500 and $500.

Details of Tragedy.

The Stratford Courier contains the
following additional details on the
Carlson tragedy which occurred east
of Stratford week ago:
About two years ago, when the fam
lily lived southwest of Stratford, a
small son, Donald, was kicked by a
horse so badly that he died within a
few days. Since that time Mrs. Carl
son had lived in constant fear of ac-
cidental deaths to her beloved chill
dren.
Foul play was at first suspected to
be at the bottom of the recent ira
gedy, but there is no evidence what
ever to snbstantiate this. Mrs. Carl
son, it is said, had been married once
before and the son, Donald, who was
accidentally killed two years ago, was
son by that marriage. 1t is said
that her first husband was sent to
the penitentiary five years ago for
some crime that was committed while
they lived in Illinois. A short time
after he began serving his sentence
she came to Iowa and year after
her husband commenced serving his
sentence was given a divorce and
married Mr.. Carlson. 1t is alleged
that her former husband was released
from the penitentiary a few days ago
and that he may have come back
here, murdered her and then drown
ed the children to cover up his
tracks. But no stranger was seen
in the vicinity so this theory can
hardly be- borne out.
The funeral over the remains Of
the victims of the grim tragedy was
held from the home Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock. The saddened hus-
band and father is beside himself with
grief at the loss of his entire family
in this appalling manner. Kind
friehds are doing all they can to help
him bear his unusually heavy bur-
den of sorrow.

WHERE ARE THE PRO-GERMANS

Where are the pro-Germans in the election cam
paigns in this and adjoining states? Does any sane per-
son maintain for a moment that any man Of German
in Minnesota is supporting Burnquist for
governor? Will it be commended for a moment. that any
such man can be found who Is not a supporter Of Lind.
bergh?
What pro-German in North Dakota is supporting
John Steen for governor? How many of them are for
Norton or Wick for congress? Everyone knows that the
entire pro-German sentiment Of the state is with the
candidates who have received the Townley endorsement.
Frazier for governor, Baer for congress. and so on down
the line.
1t is not suggested that all who are supporting the
Townley candidates are pro-German. It is asserted en-
phatically that all the pro-Germans are supporting the
Townley candidates. and that those Of their supporters
who are really loyal are in mighty bad company
And when it is found. as it is in this case, that the
disloyal sentiment is all one way, and is concentrated
on one set Of candidates. 1t is evident that there must be
some reason for it. These things do not just happen.
1t will be of some interest to men who are Loyal to
the American government, and who may have sons or
other relatives at the front, to figure out just what this
reason is, and whether or not it is safe and wise for
them to ally themselves politically with an element which
is so thoroughly out Of sympathy with the national cause.
