Golden Opportunity for Breeders o

urges ID. S. Bullock, of the Wisenn-

been aiding in the campaign to i'm
prove the quality Of Wisconsin herds
"How many farmers and breeders
advertise in rural town papers the
fact they have half dozen bulls
for sale?" he asks. "Not very many
Perhaps not one in fifty" is his an
swer.
"How many get printed list OF
the stock they have for sale and send
this list to county agents in this ard
other states or even secretaries OF
breeders associations of that par.
ticular breed in this state? Not very
many. Perhaps not one in hundred
Here, We believe, is a golden
opportunity for breeders of pure cat
tie to boost their breed in their coun-
ty, to assist many to get started
with better stock, and to boost the
Better Bull Campaign in their conf
munity.
Lets sell them and not just wait
or some one to come and buy them
And Mr.. Bullock might have ad-
ded that the same is true of many
other things the farmer has to sell,
from chickens to acres. Hundreds OF
thousands in this country are bene-
fiting by their use of printers ink
by constant use. Why shouldn't the
farmer make advertising serve him

Lowden to Address Several
Meetings i'm State.

Governor Frank o. Lowden, OF
Illinois, candidate for the republican
nomination for president, probably
will make a number of speeches in
Iowa before the state delegate con-
yention is held. The Lowden organi-
cation in Iowa is rapidly being per-
fected and the speaking dates for
the Illinois governor are yet to be
arranged.
District chairmen have been named
in each of the eleven Iowa congress
sional districts and many of these
chairmen have perfected their dis
trict and county organizations. One
of the big duties now the Lowden
men urge is the selecting of Lowdeu
men to the state delegate conveu-
tion.
State Chairman Rawson has not
yet issued call for the convention
which is to select Iowa's delegation
to the national convention but it is
thought this convention will be held
in May. Candidates who would like
to go to the national republican con-
vention in Chicago June are al
ready coming forward in various
counties. Iowa is entitled to twenty
six delegates, two from each con-
gressional district and four at large.
In his early declaration of princi-
pies made about the time the Da-
kota primaries were being held Gov
ernor Lowden stood for the follow
ing:
The return of an efficient, eco
nomical and business administration
of public affairs. The abolition of the
numerous agencies created for war
purposes which have been continued
at enormous expense in times Of
peace Rigid insistence upon gov
ernment by all the people and not By
any class. Ratification of the peace
treaty with the reservations SUBJ
stantially as proposed by the foreign
relations committee of the senate.
ENCOURAGEMENT of agriculture and
recognition of the principle that 1t Is
and must remain our most important
industry. The exclusion and depor-
tation of aliens who place the red
flag or any other flag above our
own" i

SCHOOL TAXES
HIGHEST OF ALL
More Money is Collected for Educa-

GREATER THAN CITY
OR STATE TAXES
Tax Valuation i'm Iowa is Higher
y Than Ever Before This Year.

Des Moines, Ia.-Although teach
ers' salaries are admittedly low and
teachers are leaving their profession
to engage in other work, the taxes
collected for school purposes are far
greater than for any other purpose.
Out of total taxes to be collected
throughout the state this year am
tounting to S79,S72,422.53 the sum
to be expended on schools amounts
to $32, ,379,94S.
The road taxes are generally con-
sidered large and yet they will only
total this year $7,094,062. This
amount, of course, does not include
the automobile fees. The total bridge
tax will amount to $6,269,42S.
The taxes collected for state pur-
poses only total s7,999,095. In adj
dition to this the moneys and cred
its tax coming to the state will
amount to $207,745, and then there
is considerable sum collected in
fees, bringing the total amount col
lected around $4,000, 100000. The
taxes collected for the use of cities
exceed those collected for the use
of the state the total city taxes be-
ing $10,3S1,459.
The taxable values placed on pro-
petty this year are higher than a year
ago. The net taxable value of all
the property in the state except
moneys and credits is given as 81
0S9, ,142,677. This is one-fourth the
actual value. Last year the net tax
able value of all the property was
$l,00S,009,7S3 and in 1910 it was
$693,211,177.
The taxable value of the land this
year totals 1855, ,013, as compar-
ed to $5S7,795.741 last year. Moneys
and credits this year are given as
$46S.277,793, as compared to $780,
06S,796 year ago.
The state tax goes largely to the
support of the state educational, in
stitutions and the institutions under
the board of control About five and
a half million will be expended on
these institutions this year,

DEBORAH wNNEsHEK COUNTY
THE POLL OF IOWA.

New York Sun and Herald: BY q
practically unanimous vote Gov.
Frank o. Lowden is declared the
first choice of Iowa for the repub-
lican nomination for president by
the returns received by the Sun and
New York Herald in it's poll of the
county chairmen of that state. Mai.
Gen. Leonard Wood is second choice
by large margin.
If it were not for the fact that
some of the chairmen wished to
honor United States Senator Albert
s. Cummins, who is not a candidate
for the presidency, Lowden would
have been a 100 per cent first choice.
Seven and one-half per cent of the
first choices were cast for Cummins,
but these county chairmen, who felt
their obligation to the senator, nam
ed Lowden as their second choice.
Aside from the votes cast for Cum
Minis, all the first choice ballots, 90 n
per cent to be exact, went to Lowden
While General Wood did not have
so commanding lead in second
choice position as Lowden did in first
place, yet the returns showed that
he is beyond peradyenture the only
other man seriously considered for
the presidential nomination after
Governor Lowden.
OF all the second choice votes
Nineteen per cent of the county
chairmen failed to indicate a sec
ond choice. The remaining 22 per
cent of the second choices were divid-
ed equally among Charles E. Hughes,
Herbert Hoover, Senator Hiram w.
Johnson and Senator Warren G..
Harding.
Economy in governmental affairs
and the return of the government IN
Washington to sound business basis
stands out in bold relief as the para
mount issue of 1920 in the minds of
Iowa republicans. Some of them
phrased 1t in the negative by re-
ferring to the issue as the inefficiency
and general extravaganza of the
democrats.
The league of nations is also con-
sidered as one of the big issues and
the covenant is lightly thought Of,
apparently, unless 1t is judged by the
Incorporation OF the Lodge reserva-
tions.
Iowa has no presidential prefer
ence primary. It's twenty-siX dele
gates to the national convention in
Chicago will be selected by the state
convention, the date for which has
not yet been fixed. 1t is probable
that they will be instructed-for
Lowden of course.
Governor Lowden, born in Min
nesota. spent his boyhood in Iowa
and worked his way through Iowa
State university, of which he is now
ia trustee. The returns received from
the county chairmen indicate that
they take a great pride in his
achievement
