Mr. Jacobs attributes his wonderful success in large
degree to his policy of always giving the best values

I.and Owners Arc Luclzy

A settlement was reached Wednes-
day between the board of sdpervis-
ors of Storm Lake and the Title
Guarantee and Surety company OF
Scranton, Penn, on the question of
damages sustained by the county in
the Coon river drainage district, be-
cause Of the failure OF the original
contractors, Forrestall & Feyen, for
whom the surety company furnished
the bond. The county sued the
bonding company for $125,000, but
received $4,000, and the First Ma
'tional bank of St. Paul pays half of
this amount.
The settlement of this case of long
standing means that the proceedings
wherein an additional assessment of
70 per cent levied against the land
owners are rendered invalid, and the
county auditor will now make a new
assessment as levied early in the
year.
More than $50, 900, which has
already been collected will be return
ed to the taxpayers with interest
from the date Of payment.
The county sustained the dam
ages referred to because, after the
failure OF the original contractors,
II was necessary to pay much more
for the completion of the Job.

BILL UNIVERSALLY APPROVED
Surfaces i'm the New Rev
enue Bill.

| There has been considerable mis-
understanding about the surtax rates
nj the new revenue bill. The ques-
ton involved at the time of the vote
taken in the House on concurring in
the Senate amendment was very
simple one. The House bill made no
reduction whatever on incomes of
from $4,000 up to S68,000, but did
reduce the rates from there on up
so that no matter how much the in
come no more would be paid than
80 per cent, the maximum under the
present law being SIS per cent. The
Senate amendment made substantial
reductions on incomes of from $5,-
900 to $40, 900, took off 2 per cent
on incomes of from $4,000 to $780,
900, and made small reductions from
there on up. This involved a loss in
revenue of 70,000,000. II was nee
essary to make up a part of this in
order to have sufficient money to
carry on the government, and the
Senate put the surtax limit at so per
cent on incomes of 100000 and
upwards, which was still a reduction
of Is per cent, and according to the
government experts restored $780,
600, 900 in revenue.
The question was simply whether
Congress would take the House bill
which reduced the taxes of the null
timillionaires so enormously but off
not a nickel from the taxes of those
having moderate incomes: or wheth-
er Il should accept the Senate provis-
ions and give a moderate reduction
especially beneficial to those having
incomes from $4,000 to $4,000 and
still make heavy cut of Is per cent
on the incomes of the multimillion-
aires. The Iowa delegation, includ-
ing the Senators, were practically
united in favor OF the Senate amend
ment. Only the members from the
Fifth district voted against it.
The argument was made that IL
the surtaxes were not reduced to 80
per cent those with big incomes
would put them in tax-exempt Sc
curities, but it was shown conclus-
lively that they had not been doing so
with the rate at SIS per cent, that a
$50 ,000,0 900 issue of telephone Sc
curities had recently been subscribed
for in New York nine times over,
that enormous amounts of foreign
securities. all taxable, were being
continually sold in this country, that
the interest rate. instead of increas-
ing, had decreased until the Federal
Reserve rates had gone down to ~
per cent. 1t was also said that more
money would be obtained at lower
rate but this Is contrary to the state
ments of the Treasury experts who
told Congress how much each rate
would produce and who have here
tofore always been accurate in their
findings. When The question is fair
| ly stated there is no argument upon
it except in favor of the Senate pro-
vision.

Killed ON His Way to Audubon

Bernard j. Daley, 81 son Of Mrs.
Mary Daley, OF Carroll, died in the
st. Anthony hospital from injuries
received Saturday morning about 10
o'clock, when a light roadster in
which he was riding was struck by
the Audubon branch Chicago &
Northwestern passenger train two
miles west and one-half mile south
of Carroll.
Dense fog obscured the vision of
the driver and the road was wet and
slippery. AZ this point it is extreme
ly difficult for a motorist to see an
approaching train under most favor
able conditions. and it is assumed
that Mr.. Daley's car was almost upon
the tracks before he knew of the APP
proach of the train. Judging from
the tracks made by his car just be-
fore he reached the crossing, he eth
err saw or heard the train and was
unable to stop in time to avoid be-
ing hit.
Mr.. Daley, who was in the employ
of the Swaney Auto company, left
Saturday morning to drive to Audu-
bon to transact business for the
company and approached the rail-
way crossing from the north about
10 a. m. The train coming from the
southwest, crashed into the right
side of his car and hurled the light
roadster fifty feet along the right-of-
way. Daley was thrown through the
top or through the wind shield and
was found twenty feet or more from
the crossing and lying near the
track.
The unfortunate young man was
found with his left leg severed be-
tween the knee and ankle, his nose
broken, his face badly cut and his
chest badly crushed. Engineer L. ID.
Thomas was sitting on the right hand
side of the engine cab and it is said
he did not know OF the accident
until notified by fireman Fred
Schroeder. The train was stopped at
once and the trainmen ran back to
the scene. Jerry Murphy, member
of the section crew working nearby,
did what he could to stop the flow
of blood from Daley's wounds, assist
ed by trainmen and passengers.
William Rupiper, of Hilbur, APP
peared on the scene in a car and
rushed the injured man to the hos
pital where his wounds were dressed
by surgeons and his leg amputated.
Late Saturday afternoon he rallied
and homes ire entertained for his
recovery. but Sunday evening the at
tending physicians realized that
death was merely matter of fcw
hours time.

Mr.. Sewell arose early Monday morn

from Marine. He carried nothing
with him but suitcase containing a
few clothes. Only a small amount
of money is thought to have been in
his possession.
A note left for his housekeeper,
Mrs. Try. contained the information
that he had changed his plans and
was leaving. Mr.. Sewell was wild
