Haiie. explained, because there is al
ways prejudice against foreigners
who have committed a crime in the
mind of the average juryman and
also because the average unframed

and technical questions involved in
this particular case.
We hope to prove that DR.. Ishida

the State lunacy commission itself
declares him entirely rational now.

Prosecutor George Hartman is

man declared Indignantly. He went
about his affairs all during the
month Of December like any other
sane, rational member Of the COM
Snunity. He attended patients at the
hospital he gave lectures TO the
nurses, he was engaged in writing a
one-act play. he was working on a
treatise on insanity-all the actions

health but particularly brilliant
From the very moment he was ar
rested and confined in the Towson
jail, he has never said or done an
irrational thing. The State lunacy
commission, composed of the best
legal experts in this part OF the
country, have assured the court that
he is today in sound mental health.
I'm my opinion. the murder of DIR.
Woln was a crime of the most cold
blooded and deliberate type. DR..
lshida, himself a married man, be-
came improperly fond OF pretty
nurse. If any one had any guilty in
tentions about her. it was Jsnida
himself and not DR.. WoIf. DR.. Wolf
was a big. WhOle-sOuled chap. who

any one.
"Ishida became extremely. jealous.
He thought the girl in thu case was
fond of Wolff. Lots of people are
jealous, even insaneIy jealous. but
that doesn't entitle them ID commit
murder. For my part ! cannot be-
lieve that the law and the courts of
this State can do anything else but
hold this man completely responsible
for his brutal act"
Two pretty girls will figure as wit
nesses at the trial. One is he girl OF
whom DR.. Ishida was jealous. The
other is the girl with whom DR.. WoIrf
was really in love. who hoped some
day TO become his wife. II is ex-
pected that both women will mate,
rally aid the prosecution and demon
strate that Ishida's suspicious and
charges against the reputation of the
DEAD man were entirely unfounded
and arose out of pique because the
pretty nurse spurned his own atten-
tions and avoided him whenever DOS
sible.

globe discovered the location of a
stolen automobile, is story which
came to light Wednesday when Fay
Jarkes, working on farm two miles
north of Iowa Falls recovered his Ford
which was stolen Saturday.
Not only was the stolen machine re-
covered, but two young men, employ
cd on the farm where Jarkes. was
working, were captured and lodged in
the county bastile at Eldora.
The story as told is that Jarkos went

location of his car. Said mind der,

= AS the tax system now stands II Is
regarded as unfair and unjust, A law
is peeded that will insure more
equitable distribution OF the tax burden
according TO those interested in the
present methods of levying taxes.
Frishtens Taxpayers.
One~of the present alleged defects Is
the method of taxing property for one
fourth of its value instead of taxing
for tho actualevalue as Is done in many
states. This method makes the actual
mlllage appear four times higher than
II really is. Necessarily the taxpayer
has nervous shock every time the
necessity appears for making a slight
increase in the tax rate.
Appeals. It is explained should first
go to the executive council In order TO
bring about a satisfactory adjustment
between counties. Then adjustment
cases should be sent to the county
board of review to be finally worked
out along tangible lines by the local
board. AT the present time the meth
cd of procedure is reversed. A fair
and equitable method is needed and
it is believed by those interested that
il should be Incorporated in a legisla-
tive bin
At the present time values returned
by the assessors vary as much as the
assessors. The county board of re-
view does not even adjust between
townships or other districts, as re-
Quired by law, because the county
board has not enough time to go into
the details of the returns made by the
assessor. 1t does not therefore feel
warranted in making adjustments
based on superficial study of tho
figures submitted by the auditor.
One Item of Reform.
One item of reform suggested is to
make the county auditor the county
assessor and to place all the assessors
under his immediate jurisdiction maxi
ing him responsible to the state exec
utive board. ~.
By having the executive council
make its adjustments first the board
of review would have n chance to meet
later and raise or lower the taxes with
some degree of intelligence. Now 1t
often works in the dark. The result,
too, would be more satisfactory be-
cause something like a real ratio of
market values could be established as
shown by the returns from the entire
county.
Forty of the As states have already
adopted intelligent and efficient tax
systems, while Iowa has continued to
work With an antiquated system that
has been patched and repatched but
never reconstructed.

Des Moines, Aug, 1s.--A dose of
sleeping powders seems to have been
administered to Iowa politics a week
or two ago. Despite the fact that
Charles RaNson, chairman of the re-

republican candidate for governor,
reached home several days ago, there
has been no apparent livening of the
campaign situation, in fact it has been
more than usually somnolent.
A feeble flicker of interest may be
aroused by the announcement today OF

that he is "a candidate for state audit

acQuaintanceship over the state in
