Ex-Soldiers Get "Buttons" at w.
c. S. Office and Give Opinions
OF Value of Army
Life.

Men are going to the War Camp
community Service Office TO get their
"Victory buttons" When they re-
ceive them there, they are asked to
fill out some government question
naires, one query on them being,
What is your opinion Of army train
ing?"
Almost without fail the men who
have seen service in France especial
.ly those who have been wounded.
have expressed themselves as being
quite satisfied with the army training
which they received.
The government il planning on
establishing civil schools for men
who are still in the army, and the
sort of schools which will be built
will depend upon the kind the men
most want. There is another ques-
ton on the blanks the eX-soldiers are
asked to answer as to what is their
ambition to be, and if they were still
in the service. The replies to this
query will help to determine what
kinds of civil schools will be estab-
lished for the men in the army. There
will probably be enough different
schools to teach any subject the men
may wish to study.

AMOUNT FIGURES SIPS ON A THOUSAND
Effort is to Be Made to Get Out Big Vote Sat
urday and to Prove That Keokuk Wants
to Be Progressive City.
Facts About Memorial City Hall

The erection of memorial building for soldiers
sailors marines and that will also provide
modations for city hall and central police and fire sta
tions will be such small burden upon the taxpayers of
the city practically to be no burden at ALL
When Mr. Taxpayer goes to the polls next Saturday
he wants to know what it going to cost him to vote for
the contemplated bond issue.
The law provides that to pay interest the bonds
and to quidae them witan fifty years from the date Of
issuance, five mill tax may be levied annually. Five
mills is the limit there being authority under the law
for higher levy.
Now what does five mill levy mean to the taxpay
ers individually? To give concrete Illustration If
person has coo of taxable property in the city of Keo
kuk FIVE mill levy for memorial bonds will cost him
S125 This conclusion is reached by multiplying five
mills (GO5) by $780, being paid onefourth Of
the actual value determined by the assessor.
So that the memorial building for soldiers sailors
marines nurses computed according to the highest
7osshle figures will cost the taxpayer $125 per thou
sand the actual value of his property found by the
assessor feet-A+-
The law also provides for maintenance levy Of not
exceed three mills but is not believed that any such
levy will be needed At the present time the city has
Office rent to pay antor service to furnish and fuel to
buy for the police and fire stations much Of which
pense will not be necessary when new building Is
erected.
SO that the cost be figured at about five mills at
Tho outset with gradually diminishing cost the bonds
are Paid off, Although the legal limit is five mills it
may be that smaller levy will be sufficient.

for the money paid out. II that same
money had been paid into the Build
ing and Loan or to some other IKE
agency, at the end of period OF time
they would have had home to snow
for 1t. That's exactly the financial
proposition that is before us.
Every woman in Keokuk who IS
over twenty-one years of age and VINO
has lived in the city sixty days, and IN
the county six months. ought to go 10
the voting place in her ward next sat
urday and vote on this question, voting
as her conscience and good Judgment
dictates, not failing to remember the
Keokuk boys who made the great
sacrifice. Greater love hath no man
than this, that man lay down his lie
for his friends"
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1919-09-17

that this means Just ten cents a montn.
Rather Cheap Considering Sacrifice.
Pretty cheap, seems to me, for a
memorial for the men and women VINO
went from Keokuk to preserve eur
liberties, and uphold our national
honor" was his comment. The memo.
rial building will encourage other peo-
pie to build, it was pointed out. De-
cause the carrying of the proposition
will show that Keokuk has faith IN
herself, the same as she has faith IN
the integrity Of those men and women
who fought her fight in the world war.
The building of memorial city
hall it was pointed out, would mean
an increase in the value of property IN

Women to Have Meeting.
That there will be big vote by the
women Is eNiuehSeu ny 'iio
inquiries being directed to members OF
the commission and city officials re-
garding their balloting. Every day, the
mayor says there are questions COM
ing from the women regarding the
election Saturday The most frequehr
query has to do with registration. city
officials declare that no registration Is
necessary. All that is needed for a
woman to vote, is that she be twenty
one years of age.
A call has been issued for the
women chairmep of the wards in the
CITY TO meet tomorrow afternoon ut
the Y. w. C. A. at 2:30 o'clock. Ward
lieutenants who helped to distribute
the petitions are also invited to De
present at this conference.

Every effort is going to be made to
get out large vote Saturday on the
question of memorial building roi
the soldiers, sailors, marines snu
nurses of Keokuk, Whether the pro
lect carries or not, general express
sion of opinion of the voters is sought
for. From all indications the vote VIII
be large one.
At a meeting of the commission
held yesterday afternoon there was
general discussion OF arrangements
for the election The balloting is going
to cost the city practically nothing, as
the judges and clerks of election ana
the registrars are serving without
pay, and practically all or the voting
places have been donated for the day
by property owners.
That Meeting a Few Years Ago.
The general sentiment of the COM
mission is that IF Keokuk is going to
take step forward it will vote Tor

bers of the commission recalled the
big booster meeting held few years
ago, when everyone was enthusiastic
for new buildings and big things for
keokuk. "They would have bonded the
town to the sky that night" was one
mans comment. Some of these same
boosters seem to have forgotten their
