LAUNCH MOTOR BUS SYSTEM.
To Organize System in Opposition Il
Muscatine Car Service.

Muscatine. Sept. 1.-two move
ments, one for a peoples Protective
Association" and one looking toward
the organization and incorporation Of
company capitalized at $4,000 for
the purpose Of operating a motor bus
system in and about Muscatine, were
launched by Norman Baker of the
langley Calliepe Company. at meet
ing at the Grand Theater last night
The meeting was called by Mr.. Baker
and was attended by almost a thou
sand persons.
The motor bus proposition is best
explained by the reading matter on
cards handed out a. the close of the
meeting. It Is as follows:
1T is the intention of local citizens
to incorporate a company for about
Sd. 900. Said company to establish a
motor bus system in this city. using
enclosed buses equipped for summer
and winter use Ten large buses will
be purchased, q garage equipped for
the care Of same. and regular fifteen
minute schedule arranged, using two
busses on each line. leaving two for
reserve. Large trucks with trailers to
make schedule trips on country routes
leading Into the city from Illinois
points and the surrounding cities for
carrying freight will be established.
This will make Muscatine a better
trading center and should be en-
couraged. The motor truck freight
routes have proved successful thru
out the country, and as the railway
official testified in a recent court case
that the local company carried 1906
453 passengers in 1917. which figured
at an average Of Accent fare means
$70.65S.13. it shows that even one half
of this amount of business. combined
with the earnings Of the freight routes.
would pay for the system the first
year.
'If We organize this company and
issue shares at SO per share, how
many shares will you purchase? 1t
ii understood that the signing Of this
card obiigates you in no way, but that
Your earnest intention Is to purchase
the amount set forth.

Mr.. Baker explained that II properly
supported in the proposition, ne pro-
posed to 20 ahead and establish the
bus line, to run busses between Mus
,catine and various points in Illinois

roads leadingN to Muscatine, as well as
to operate q system Of notorious

, Cedar Falls. Sept, 15.-"Europe
Europeanized this league and then
handed It TO U.s." declared Senator
William T. Bornh. speaking here last
might against Wilson's campaign for
the league covenant and treaty ratifi-
cation. 1T is not a league Of nations
but q league Of diplomats backed by
west armies and navies. The president
says It will bring peace but the max
ers of II themselves published to the
world their lack Of faith in it when
they make the triple alliance"
Borah denounced the league and
said: II never intend to vote for any
league of nations. That's where l
stand. What Is the issue in this dis
clission? The president says it is a
league or no league. 1 wish that was
true. The issue is whether We Will
Ameficanize this league. The issue is
protect the interests Of the American
people. The league as drawn would
Europeanize Europe"
Borah declared our first concern is
to stay out OF the league. The next
thing Is how to get out after we get
in. He asserted this talking Of calling
back the peace conference Is decep-
ton before the American people.
Borah said every ore of these reserva-
lions could be adopted by cablegram
and be just as binding as if done by
the peace conference. Our govern
ment can cable each Of the govern
ments asking them to approve these
reservations and get this thing finished
by Saturday night. Borah shouted:
IF they don't want to approve and
stay in let them say so and give the
reasons II Great Britain does not
want the United States to have more
than one vote to her six let her say SO
and give her reasons"
Borah commended the league Of ma
tions is built upon wrong principles
and said that we are delegating to nine
men sitting at Geneva the power to
say whether We shall enter into war
even tho the American Congress votes
against II.
What plead for is the right of the
American people to decide for them
selves" ......
More than 1000 people crowded into
a theater to hear Borah and other
a, thousands were turned away unable
to- gain entrance His speech was
often interrupted by cheerA. former
army men in the audience being par
ticularly noticeable by their vocifer-
Gus applause.

STATE FARM BUREAU SEEKING
TO ARRIVE AT EQUITABLE
BASIS FOR PAY.
ouEsTloNNA'REs BEING

Answers viii Be Compiled and In.

Farmers Do Not Plan to Pay War
time Wages For Work in Fields.

Ames. Sept. l5.-lt will be remem-
bered that last year the farm bureau,
thru the county agents over the state
Of Iowa, took a very active stand on
the question OF wages for corn husk-
ers. This was due to the fact that the
war was still on and that prices paid
for labor were more or less definitely
fixed in all lines of work. Now that
the war is over no definite action is
going to be taken by the farm bureaus,
1t is understood.
However, in order that dissatisfac-
tion may not exist, due to the fact
that some localities may pay much
more than other localities and cause
the men to shift around, making II bad
for the corn pickers and farmers like
wise, the county agents had confer
ence while at the state fair in DeS
Moines recently, when they took up the
question of wages for corn huskers.
Detailed information.
1t is stated that none of the men at
the NEE ting felt that they should say,
definitely, for the farmers Of their
county what they should pay for
huskers, and so from the office of
Merle Mcdonald, county agent leader.
there has been sent out to county
agents all over the state of Iowa
QUESTIONABLE, which, when they all
come back, will give the county agent
leader an idea of what are the prevail
ing wages offered by farmers over the
entire state. The results of the queS-
tionnaires will be compiled and the in
formation sent to all county agents
then all county agents will know what
all other county agents consider ralr
wages for corn huskers.
The corn crop is generally gdod over
the entire state and is especially good
in this section. Plenty of corn, and
good corn to pick, means more corn
picked in given time.
Market Price Effects.
The price of corn on the market may
also be q governing feature in the
proposition of the wage farmers will
pay huskers. Wages. as every one
knows, are on the whole no lower than
they were year ago.
Farmers as a whole over the state
realize tnat last year tHe rdiIi Du
reau did a great piece of work in
standardizing the wages over the en-
tire state for corn picking. The farm
or. who, in his anxiety to make sure
that his own particular crop is going
to be harvested. will offer exhorbitant
wages is doing a great injustice to the
entire community because he is
bound to cause dissatisfaction among
iaboring men and it makes it a hard
proposition for his neighbors and 9TH
ers in that locality to get their work
done at reasonable and satisfactory
wage.

Tot. for Chicago. S2ii i9l sos S277 9,0l1
Under the new laws enacted by
the last legislature, the board of re-
view must fix the assessed valuations
at one.half of the real valuations,
which will give Chicago increased
bonding power, The assessors had
their work so far along when the laws
were passed that 1t would have been
impossible to change from one-third
to one.half valuations and have the
books ready for the board of review
by the time the law prescribes. The
work of changing is left to the re-
viewers.
On the basis of the assessors valu'
atoms, Chicago personal property will
be taxed on valuation of $4l5,sl3,'
SIC, while the county total will be
s443.72S,339. The board of review Is
not expected to change these figures
materially,
Complaints on personal property
and real estate taxes will not be
heard by the board of review until
August, Stephen d. Griffin, chief
clerk, announced today. This delay
Mr.. Griffin said, was due to the
length of time taken by the board OF
assessors in completing the books.

QUESTIONS
FOR THE NOVEM.
Der ELECTION

The election In November, at which
delegates to the constitutional con-
vention are to be chosen, promises to
be an important one for Chicago in
many ways.
1t is expected that several ques-
tons that the people have to decide
under measures enacted at Springfield
by the legislature which finished its
labors last week will be placed upon
the ballot.
Among these will be the question Of
bond issues. The assembly, after q
hard battle, passed the Glackin bills
which give Chicago and other cities
authority to increase their bonding
power. Chicago, under its bill, may
increase its power $27,50O,O00 1t is
not believed that the city council
will elect to put the whole sum up
for vote Of the people.
The fifty.ward plan, the non.parti.
san aldermanic election measure and
the town half bill are among other
questions that are likely to go on the
ballot. There Is a referendum clause
also in the Buck primary bill, and this
may be submitted to the people at
that time.
1t is the opinion of the attorney
| general that members of the legisla-
ture may be candidates for delegate
to the constitutional convention II
they first resign, and that holdover
senator, as is Senator Curtis, could
resign his seat In the senate after be-
ing elected delegate.

the Kendrick bill. II provides that oil

Another feature of the measure Is
intended to compel the packers to

now owned by packers are listed as
common carriers and the railroads are

shippers on equal terms.
