Business Promotion Trips.

An interesting effort for trade
promotion was made last fall by
the business men of Sioux City, Ia.
About 100 of these men started out
to visit their customers in 81 cities.
They took along a band which gave
concerts in the streets of the towns
they visited.
The purpose of the trip was adver-
Using, pleasant business relations and
good feeling Some people might
say that such a party would not be
welcomed in the surrounding terri
tory, as local business men in several
towns would look at them as rivals.
Yet this party was received with the
utmost warmth. Everybody seemed
to realize that closer relations tend
to keep trade at home within ones
section, and to interest capitalists in
the development of their home ter
ritory.
The business men of DEBORAH
might we'll organize automobile or
railroad trips through the surround
ing territory, to become familiar
with its resources, to organize plans
for its development, and to make
friends of all the business people of
the section.

The Automobile Speeders

We have been, asked to write an
editorial on reckless automobiling.
We are tempted to exclaim, ooh,
what's the use!" and let it go at that,
for the reckless drivers will not
heed anything we may say, and the
careful drivers need no lecturing.
But, in the earnest hope that what
we say here may find Judgment some
where and do little bit of good, we
shall risk the waste of space and
proceed. There is still some pre-
JUDGE against automobiles, in spite
of their widespread ownership. The
wonder is, not that some people
hate them, but that they are toler-
ated at all, in view of the reckless,
devil-may-care attitude of some
drivers. An automobile is a deadly
weapon when there is a fool at the
wheel. If the speed maniac paid
for his folly only with his own life
it would not matter so much, for
the tribe of speed maniacs would
soon be self-exterminated and high
ways would be safe for normal men,
women and children. But, unfortun-
ately, the speed maniac generally
kills somebody else before he re-
forms or breaks his own neck That
this city has not yet experienced the
painful tragedy involved in auto
mobile slaughter through careless
ness must be because we have been
unusually lucky or Providence has
been unusually kind to us. Certain
ly it is not because we have no
speed maniacs.-Fulton Journal.

HUGE SUM IN IOWA TAXES
People of State Pay Total of S25C,-
00O,OO0 In Year.

at is roughly estimated that the
good people of Iowa paid S25030O0,-
900 in local; state and federal taxes
last year, including licenses; fees
and special assessments" Professor
J. E. Brindley Of Ames told the
Des Moines Chamber of Commerce at
luncheon Friday.
"Iowans contributed $8fOO0,0OO
last year in state and local taxes
alone, an increase of two and one
half times over that of 10 years ago"
Professor Brindley continued. "Of
this amount only about 100000
went to the state, while the local
governments used the remainder.
The public schools cost US about
$33,OOO,OOO and highways take out
$28,OO0,OOO. Besides the $S1 100000
for state and local taxes, Iowans
were levied at $1OO,OOO,OOO for the
federal budget.
"Our whole tax collecting sys-
tenn, with an army of $500 assessors
turnout the state besides the numer-
Gus boards of review, is a shocking
failure. The present assessing sys-
TEN is not equitable. Our methods
of collecting income and making ex-
penditures are both failures.
"Only by making the county the
unit instead of the township and
giving either a state tax commits
sion or the Executive Council
greater tax administrative efficiency
is the solution.
"Now only about one half of the
moneys and credits are listed fol
assessment.
"The greatest need is for a budget
control Of national, state, municipa
and local expenditures. The United
States is the only nation that doe.
not use the budget system and We
Congress spends S5,OO0,0OO,OO an
nually without any budget" Brindl,
added.
An Iowa Public Finance Associa
ton was the best solution for tn
taxation question in Iowa, accord
ing to Brindley.

LUTHER DEFEATS COLUMBIA
Soriien's Pitching Was a Big Feature
of the Game. Score 3 to 2.

The Luther ball team won two out
three games on their trip away last
week. They won from campion 3
to 0, and lost to the University OF
Dubuque 9 to 8. Hovden pitcRed
this game and got 16 strikeouts, but
had poor support. The game with
Columbia was a good one, and the
Dubuque Times Journal gives the
following write up of it:
Luther college evened up things in
the seasons baseball series with Co
lumbia college in game played at
Loras field, at Dubuque, Thursday.
After a nip-and-tuck hurting duel,
the visitors squeezed out with to
2 victory.
Sorliens heaving was of the best
variety and he easily let down the
home guard without giving them
even chances at scoring during every
frame but one. The two markers
chalked up by Columbia came after
the visitors had established 3 to 0
lead. 1t took double and home run
to put them over. Only at one other
time did Columbia get a man on
base before two were out, and that
runner only reached : second base.
Noonan's two base smash and Nc
Cauley's drive for four bases past
right center field were responsible
for Columbia's two runs.
McAreavy hurled a dandy game of
ball for the home team, but his pitch
ing was not as air-tight as that of
the visitor. He had to pull from
several holes and some nifty fielding
behind him saved number of mark
ers.
At that, the visitors were lucky to
some extent to get the three runs in
the seventh inning that won the game
for them. One was down when Nc
Areavy had two strikes on A. Sorlien.
He tried for a strike-out and ribbed
the batsman, giving him a base. An
infield out advanced him to second.
Bottolfson then uncorked hit to CEN
ter, on which Janda fielded the ball
home. The throw had dandy distance,
but was just wee bit wide of the
pan and in the scramble at the plate
A. Sorlien succeeded in evading CO.
hmbia's catcher. 1t was a close play.
Orwell followed with a long drive to
center and the Columbia men formed
for a relay in to halt the runners.
Spain received landau throw and
dropped the ball Before he could re-
cover it and throw it in, Bottolfson
and Orwell crossed the pan. Many
thought the hit was a homer, but
Orwell might have been nailed going
to third had Spain not dropped the
ball.
Before the game, the visitors en-
tered a protest againest the use OF
the spit-ball by McAreavy, the Co
lumbia hurler.
