Mason City, Iowa,-Word has been
received here from Lake Crystal,
Minnesota, Of the peculiar coincidence
in the death of Henry Ehler and his
ll-year old son son at that place.
The boy went to the barn "a few
days ago to do the chores, and was
crushed against the wall by big
bay horse and then trampled. His
younger brother pulled him out but
he died in Mankota hospital.
The day after the accident the
father went to the barn to demon
strate to some friends just how the
accident happened. The horse was
only waiting for the opportunity to
get" him, too, and after crowding
him against the wall kicked him vi
. ciously, breaking his left leg in two
places and cutting several gashes in
his head. He was taken to a hospital.
where he died after two days of suf-
fering.

HIGH RAIL RATES A MENACE
Iowa Travelling Men Blame Depres-
sion on Greed OF Carriers.

Cedar Rapids, iowa-That Ameri-
can business is seriously menaced
by the high freight rates and high
passenger rates eXacted by the rail-
roads from the shippers and the
travelling public was the sentiment
emphatically expressed by the state
officials and board Of directors of the
Iowa L. p. A. at meeting held at
Hotel Montrose Saturday.
There are 100000 travelling men,
belonging to the various organiza-
tions in the United States. They and
the heads of the firms they represent
are well aware that there can be no
revival Of general business while the
railroads are permitted TO make such
exorbitant charges for carrying
freight and passengers. Thousands OF
these travelling men will be out OF
employment unless these excessive
rates are soon reduced. There is more
dIilIuOSllN aga IdllIot'uS iiO" NAAsAiA
ever before in the history of the
United States and the travelling men
were not slow to express the opin-
ION that it is due to unmitigated rail-
road greed. The railroads have made
huge cuts in the wages of their en-
ployes, but they are keeping up
freight and passenger rates to the
last cent.
The travelling men also took fall
out of the high prices being charged
at most of the hotels and predicted
that the big hotels would either re-
duce their prices very soon, or they
will be left deserted.
The purpose of the meeting here
was to organize membership cam
paign. In the very near future one of
the biggest membership drives in the
history of the order will be in full
swing.

THE YOUNG MANS MONEY
Free Spending Brought on Recent
Carnival of Extrayagance.

Two people can not live as cheap
ly as one, but two people frequently
do succeed in living OH what the
man spent before marriage. This
has been particularly trde since the
war, as free spending by unmarried
men was an important feature Of tire
recent carnival Of extravaganza, and
it was one of the causes leading to
the business recession of 1920.
Wages during that period were US
ually standardized on the theory Of
paying a man enough so that he
could support a family with two or
three children. In a great many
cases, an unmarried fellow would
get wages established on that basis.
That gave him a large surplus and
he blew it in with astounding rapid
ity.
A good many young men would
wear good clothes while doing dirty
work so that their garments quick
ly got soiled. In a few weeks they
would have to have a new suit. And
so it went on everything. The
money went with amazing speed in
to JOY rides and treats and sport.
The majority of unmarried men
saved little through this harvest
time. It was an opportunity that
knocked just once, and will not re-
turn. However, any fellow who has
a steady job can usually earn more
than he needs for himself even
now.
A young man with foresight and
sense will Use thrift and some degree
of self denial, and save such of his
earnings as are in excess of rea-
sonable expenses. This gives him a
business start, safeguards him
against periods of depression, makes
it possible to accept favorable open
ings, and opens up the chance of
comfortable family life.
Also if most young men could show
this degree of sense, a new source
of savings would be created that
would be a big factor in utilizing
and developing the nations resources.
Our schools teach the young folks
lot, but they have not succeeded
in teaching them thrift.

best if not the best informed man
in the United States along this line.
DR.. Brindley pointed out that our
national revenues have increased
from 1892, 100000 in 1915 to S6,7O4,-
100000 in 1920. This vast increase
in taxation is direct result of the
war. He pointed out the folly of
America reducing her army and navy
appropriations unless some practical
solution of our International relations
can be found. The fact that our
Senate added million dollars to our
navy appropriation as recommended
by the House may have an interest
ing effect upon other nations atti-
tude during the disarmament con-
ference which we understand has
been called by President Harding in
November. DR.. Brindley spoke of
being opposed to the excess profit
tax except as war measure and
pointed put that income was the
real basis for taxation. A very
interesting fact was brought out
showing that sixteenth of all taxable
property in Iowa comes from the
farm and that less than one-twelfth
of it is controlled by the railroads.
The hearing on equalization of
taxes is now being conducted by the
executive committee and il was
brought out that in spite of the fact
that the railroads bear such a com.
paratively small percentage of the
Iowa taxes, still they have a score
of representatives including their at
torney on taxation and general coun.
Gil and other men, each receiving a
salary of not less than $4,000 and
that this thing has been carried on
at every hearing of the council for
many years while this is the first
time in the history of the state that
the farmers have had anyone present
to represent their interests before the
committee. IF the state federation
did nothing" said DR.. Brindley, "but
represent the farmers before this
taxation committee, it would be
worth more to them than the cost of
the entire organization. This work
alone will pay 1000 dividends on all
that the farmers have put into their
organization. The average earning
on Iowa farm land during the last
ten years has been less than go
and this does not account for the I'M
restored fertility Of Iowa soils, and
/ it is recognized that the past ten
years have been more than usually
prosperous ones. In spite of this
fact, corporations and public utilities
are demanding that the taxable value
of farm lands should be upon theil
actual selling value.
DR.. Brindley has been appointed
by President Harding as member
of the National Budget Commute,
of Iowa and much more will UNI
doubtedly be heard of his work il
this committee.
