CARROLL'S MESSAGE Governor Reviews Conditions In Iowa for Past Two Years HAS MANY RECOMMENDATIONS Favors Collateral and Direct Inheritance Tax, a Tax Commission, Law on Arbitration, and Better Highways. Des Moine.—In his biennial message to the senate and house of representatives, he said that the governor, B. F. Carroll said, in part: "In compliance with the provisions of article 4, section 101 of the governor's requirement requiring the governor to "communicate, by message, to the general assembly, at the state level, a condition of the state and recommending such matters as he shall expedient. I present to you "From the biennial report of the auditor of state you will observe that there was in the state treasury, July 1, 1910, $1,403,915 to the credit of the general fund. The estimated receipts from that date to July 1, 1913, amount $12,044,000, making a total of $13,543,917. The estimated amount of the general fund from July 1, 1916, to July 1, 1913, was $10,935,000, leaving a balance of $2,465,915. From this should be deducted $306,000, hunters' license, not available for general purposes and $800,000 needed to meet current expenses from July 1, 1913, to October 1, 1915, during which time the state's income is very meagre. Deducting the difference of $1,499,015 available for extraordinary appropriations during the bleannal period ending June 30, 1913. More than this amount it would not be safe for you to appropriate." "By reason of the policy of economy practiced by the last session of the general assembly and because of the increased income from sources other than by taxation, the executive council has been able to make a reduction of general income in the year for general state purposes made in 1909 and a like reduction in 1910 so that the levy is now three and three-tenths mill instead of three and five-tenths as it had previously been. I scarcely need say to you that the levy for the next two years will depend entirely upon the extent of the appropriate riches made by you and the means which you provide for in the future from sources other than by taxation. I trust that you will keep your within the finances above quoted." How to Amend the Laws. "In my inaugural address of two years ago I gave attention to the fact that the laws many ambiguities exist and in some instances almost not entirely intangible to know about. I thoroughly convinced that when a section be much better to repeal the section and enact it as it would appear when amended the governor, then refers to the controversy over fees to be said by building on the facts that the law extends articles of incorporation and states that the laws should be revised, and commends that the oil inspection law be revised, foreign corporations dealing to be business corporations, of equitable validity and also appear to be made clear upon corporations. He also recommends that relating to the state board of education be made and made clear on some disjointed points. Evidence as to Population. "7 wish to call your attention to the necessity of your desire that the federal census of population it will be necessary to make provision therefor, so that it will make provision therefor, so that it matter of much importance you will readiness of certain county and township officials, as well as the allowance and com- termination of the sufficiency of general consent petition under the muk law, in many instances determined by population." Cellateral Inheritance Tax. "I am advised by those enjoined with the duty of enforcing the collateral inheritance tax law that it needs to be rewritten to the end that it may be made more specific and that ambiguities that now exist may be removed. It is quite defective in some of its previous, especially as to the collection of interest, and as to bringing suit against those who inherit under the will and who decline or fail to pay the tax in the manner and time provided by law." "The income to the state from collateral inheritance has increased quite perceptibly, the income for the last biennial period, ending June 30, 1910, being $447,179.40, while for the previous biennial period it was only $341,359.93, making a net increase of $105,819.47." Direct Inheritance Tax. "I believe that the time has arrived that tax should demand your most serious consideration. It is not a new thing in the country, but more conservative commonwealth, as well as many of the newer ones, have laws that require taxation on direct bribes. In applying the greater rate and one per cent of tax excluding should increase with the size of the population, the decreased in relationship of the deceased to the one who inherits the deceased, the one only as a means of raising revenue but not as a means of raising bribes. Already twenty states, viz: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming, have adopted direct inheritance laws, like our own, has a collateral importance law, also. It cannot therefore be too young to have such a law, or that distance of any other status should Income Tax. At a later date I will transmit to your honorable body a certified copy of a joint decree by the Stryf-first congress proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States congress to enact a law to tax license. Without here raising the question as to the wisdom of such a law, I wish to ex-ample that the United States congress should have power to enact such a law if it so desires, and, I therefore recourse to a federal action upon the resolution law. "For your benefit and instruction I have sent you a document embedding the resolution as signed by the officers of the two houses. "Sixteenth congress of the United States of America: At the first session, begun on the 15th day of March, the 18th day of March, one thousand nine hundred and nine, and an amendment to the constitution of the United States: Resolved by the senate and the House of States of America in congress assembled two-thirds of each house concerning the proposed as an amendment to the constitution of to United States, which, when the senate and the House of States, the members of the several states, shall be all to intents and purposes as a part of "Article XVI—The congress shall give power to lay and collect taxes on the several states without apportionment among the several states and without regard to any census commission."

Genseth, Secretary. By Henry Giffry. I certify that this joint resolution originated in the senate. Charles G. Beaufort, Secretary. By Henry H. Giffry, Chief Clerk. A Tax Commission. "I wish again to call attention to the set tax laws of the state are the most important and most important. It has now been fourteen years since there has been a general revision of these laws, and these laws have arisen in that time and many new methods of taxation have been adopted in other states which are worthy of the tax. The tax derelict law, the taxing of mortgages and credits, a filing fee upon mortgages, based upon the amount and time of the mortgage, the taxing of taxation, are attractive much attention. "Our methods of distribution of values are based on the fact that the true as to telegraph, telephone and railway are of such magnitude and importance that I do not believe that they should be provided for an ordinary session of your honorable mission be provided to study carefully all the phases of our taking question, prepare a report, and give the mission to the next session of the general assemblage." Enlarge Capitol Grounds "There seems to be no question but that this last course of one the state's addition of necessary ground in the velocity of the state's movement would be desirable, it would be very desirable that a number of blocks of ground be acquired, both with the purpose of beautifying the state's landscape and the purpose of beautifying the state's landscape, nothing more be done there should be a reasonable allowance placed at the disposal of lots facing the state's house grounds. During the last year opportunistic affords, but there being no funds available, the property was purchased by private private. Committee Rooms Occupied. "During the last biennial period several commissions which were created have been revived. The commissionive council has found it necessary either to domicile these commissions in committee rooms or to build the new building. We believe it be expedient and that it would meet with your approval of committee rooms were occluded. We would like to board of education in the speaker's room, the soldier's roster, force, the conservatory, the chief oil inspector in committee rooms. Granite Steps to Capitol Building. grantie steps to Capitol Building. "I desire to call your attention to the fact that you are the house both upon the north and upon the weat are in a very bad state of deterioration and that they should be replaced with new construction," your judgment it can conveniently be done. Historical Building. "I am pleased to be able to report that the appropriate prescriptions have been made by several principally complete and that it is now compiled by all of the departments intended to treat it." Geological Survey. "With full appreciation of the value of the department, I am compelled to say, that in part at least, the board is so constituted as not to be involved in the department, and know as much about the department as should be known by a managing body, which is in a more satisfactory way if the department were connected with the internal department of the State university. Drainage, Conservation and Waterways Commission. "The thirty-third session of the general assembly consisted a commission study in the management of waterway, conservation of resources, age, waterway, conservation of resources, commission the various subjects included in the scope of its work are thoroughly discussed and many valuable recommend- Lakes Drained "The executive council has authorized the county to issue a decree unary 890 wk. viz.: Bancourt law since 1988 county and Wall lake in Wright county, and Wall lake in Wright county some lakes authorized to be drained during the administration of my predecessor county, and against others have been paid. It has not been the policy of the council that lakes can be maintained as clear bodies of water, but has permitted such as can not be so, and the lakes that have been sold to the lands and the lands have either been sold or the taxes assessed against the same the image purposes have been paid by the state. Mining Laws. The mining disasters that have occured in the past have been a highly important that our laws be made so as to meet effectively guard against the possibility to that very hazardous conditions. Arbitration. "Some states have enacted laws providing for the arbitration of disputes arising between parties apparently with good results. I do not understand that compliance with the findings of such cases would hencece to much matters could be enforced, but the public is entitled to know the existing situation and controversy between the public and it is hardly likely that either party to a dispute could long maintain itself in unbiased tribunal. I therefore recommend that you give careful consideration to the establishment establishing such a body in this state. Agricultural Society. "From the appropriation made therefore by the thirty-third session of the general assembly, there has been exerted a splendid and commodious steel and concrete ammunition, Agricultural society. It has added greatly to the convenience of those visiting the state, and attendance. Many other improvements have been made, the construction of 70,000 square feet of cement walk, adding two new units to the state barn, and adopting a general and permanent plan for the development of the state barn, and adopting a general and permanent plan for the development of improvements at the fair grounds since the state barn has been built. A. at $15,000 have been spent in various improvements at the fair grounds since the state barn has been built. The state fair has become a great means of bringing the exhibits, and its benefits and influences are felt in all parts of the state. In the front rank of all the state fairs. Horticultural Interests. "I have believed and still believe that the norticultural interests of the state should not prove a discouragement in being cultivated. The fruit crop failure of the last year could not prove a discouragement in being cultivated. We need the use of an umbrella much of the crop of the state to help cultivate the need to have our people better educated along the lines of caring for and protecting the cultural people of the state are asking to have some one employed as a field man to inform and enlighten them as to the best means of growing and caring for orchard trees to employ in educating our people in fruit growing. I cannot say, but I recommend an acceptable management to this important interest. Dairy Experiment and Extension Work. The last session of the legislature made an approval of the state's plan to use in promoting the dairy interests of the state. I be compelled by the use of this fund and a recommendation that a like amount be approved biennial period, to be expended either through the state or through other equally effective means. There seem to be an increased agricultural extension work, institute and agricultural extension work. While realities come extremists, we cannot come extremists. We cannot become extremists. We cannot become extremists. Our farmers are beginning to appreciate the value of science. "I wish, however, to suggest that the state board of education should undertake to equitize determine about want appropriation is needed for agricultural education, for agricultural experiment stations and, for good results, and I want to be appropriated for any of these purposes you give due consideration to the various needs undertaken to determine what amount should be appropriated for each of the agricultural experiments the appropriation should be divided. The total amount rated for during the biennial period being in excess of $100,000. "The state food and dairy commissioner clearly does beef, the meat department requires compliance with proper methods of man- tation, so that you will be able to perform their duties without additional aids with reference thereto, and I recommend them the same for your careful care. Hog Cholara Serum. "The sum of eight thousand dollars was appropriated for the establishment of a plant for the manufacture of hog cholera serum. The plant was placed under the control of the state veterinary surgeon, who, under the supervision of the surgeon, acres of ground north of the state fair grounds and thereon was the appropriation has been used up but the law provides that the plant may be used in connection with the operation of the Plant. Up to January $1,534 worth of the serum was to be learned the serum method of treating the disease of cholera has proven suc- Soldiers' Roster. "A recent session of the general assembly of the board of directors' Roster and that the volumes when read for the executive council to determine what the actual cost had been. There was a total of 119 having been said. Four volumes as well as the law provisional." Much of the manual ready for the printer, it will permeate into the printer, it will permeate for $10 to $10,000 to complete the work. The Soldiers' Home. "The state has undertaken to make the declining years of the soldiers of the Civil War more home for those who by reason of health and financial circumstances may need assistance. I shall not go into detaits as to the specific needs of the civilians, we divide both as to quarter equipment and supplies necessary to make the remainder of life for these heroes both more comfortable." The National Guard: "I am pleased to be able to report to you that I am in most excellent condition. In my opinion, I am the greatest at as the present time. The four years gade and most excellent work is being completed." Public School System. "In the biennial report of the superintendent of public instruction you will find a number of questions relating to the office of the superintendent, to the school laws, or the superintendent, to the school rules, which shall not go into details with reference to any of these questions but refer you to the superintendent's annual amount of information and many valuable suggestions to the school superintendent one of the most important instructors which you will have to deal with, and for giving it more than usual attention. State Board of Education. "It is not my purpose to deal at length with the state board of education nor the institutions under its control. I am glad to be able to say that the board and its finance committee have worked together in harmony for the best interests of the institutions and that, in my opinion, the work has been planned along practical and successful lines. In the board's publisher report you will find a review of what has been done and also suggestions as to future plans and needs of the various schools under control of the board. The suggestions as to continuing the military tax, the readjustment of salaries, the application of business methods, etc., de Banks. "There is little, if anything, pertaining to the failure of the banks called to your attention. The banks of the state, in general, seem to be in a very poor state, and the failures of state or savings banks during the period of the bank collapse report shows that there were 900 state and savings banks and trust companies reporting to the department at the end of the biennial period ending June 20, 1999. Insurance. "The insurance laws of the state have been established and acted upon by the legislature that I do not deem it necessary to call them into question. Our companies are extending and enlarging their business and the magnitude and extent of the state are constantly growing." Reorganize Some Departments. "The last session of the legislature de- fended the right of the state to govern of the reorganization and consolidation of some departments in the state, to be profitably dealt with by you. In my own opinion, the state should offer better service rendered by combining a more efficient and better service any event of them need reorganizing. Documents and Printing. "I wish again to call your attention to the fact that a careful inquiry should be made into the number of documents now being printed, so as to ascertain whether there are not many more of some kinds being provided than there is a real demand for. I am in receipt of a communicative letter from the public, which he says: "The storage rooms for documents is rapidly becoming filled. Large numbers of Soldiers' Hoster have been parked in boxes and stored in the paper warehouse. The accumulation of these and other documents will soon be made for the public. The use of some method for more rapid distribution is provided by the general assembly." I believe that the state might be saved a considerable sum of money by reducing the number of some documents and by cutting out duplicated matter appearing in documents. In my opinion the time has come when you should give the most serious consideration to placing all state printing and binding in the hands of the executive council. With the enlarged facilities of the state, the public will be able to place the work, the work, there seems to be very little need of continuing the offices of state printer and state binder. The council can very readily handle this work through the office of the secretary, who now has charge of the paper and other stock used and used. The office of the principal, the same, while the office of the secretary of state must check all the work done. The abolition of these offices of printer and binder might necessitate the employment of a competent man to aid in looking after the work of printing and binding, but when there is no one, my opinion, a great saying to the state and the work would be turned out much more promptly. Public Utilities Commission. "Two years ago I recommended to the general assembly the creation of a public utilities commission, or the enlargement of the powers of the railway commission. I then suggested that the membership of the railway commission, if clothed with the powers referred to, be increased to five and that the added members be appointed by the governor, and as the terms of the present members expire, their successors be elected and I now desire to renew that recommendation and to say that, in my opinion, a commission clothed with such power and authority as is given by the laws of the state of New York or Wisconsin would prove of great benefit to the state. Added reasons are apparent almost daily why we need such a commission." "Then, too, the question of the regulation and control of the water power of the state should be lodged with the proposed commission. This is an important matter and one which has been very much neglected." "Nowhere does there seem to be lodged power and authority to regulate rates and character of service of telegraph and telephone companies, nor to control consolidations and physical connections of telephone property. This power should be lodged with the commission herein proposed." "The railway commission, through its powers, are limited as to determining what powers are limited as to determining what shall constitute a proper highway or farm road, and as to matters of ordinary drainage or at least the law is indemnite. It asks the commission with reference to these matters, and commend that the request be granted. It asks the commission to the commission's regulation of insurance express rates, long and short and rail and the regulation of rates, service, etc., at the commission. Primary Election Law. "One of the important matters that should receive the attention of your home law, if it ought to be so amended as to make it absolutely safe and so far as possible, is to abstain. Irregularities in the name of real or any other circumstances. If charges that have been made are free, there can be no doubt that the last, probably state convention was their seat by sharp political practice either upon the petition of the party or not referring to any particular faction. There ought not to be a law that requires a party to be not restraining a law that makes such things possible should either be amended or wiped out. "It has been freely stated that in many instances lists of candidates who were not residents of the precincts and who had no ties to the committee and who had no ties to be able to secure or control their votes. "Much complaint has also been made to the committee and winked to the printing of pasters and marking them. The pastor has always been and in may optionally be abused and the names of all delegates and committee members should be abandoned and the names of all delegates and committee members printed on the ballot. The same care should be exercised with regard to these for office. "The primary law conveys the idea that party lines and party organizations are to be recognized and respected. It should be for encouraging party alliances, but it affords easy opportunity for an utterer to assign why the law should recognize the party. The ticket printed upon the official ballot to be voted at the general election unites the members of the naming of candidates. Institutions Under Management of the Board of Control. The institutions under the management of the board are the most careful consideration. You will find in the report of the board, recently, a list of the institutions and discussion of the affairs and necessities of the various institutions and I earnestly request that you make a careful decision. Board of Parole and Increase In Prison Population. A study of the report, of the board of control and of the board of parole with decisions on the establishment of the board, increased quite materially since the establishment of the latter board. The average number of prisoners at Fort St. Louis was 434, as against 443 for the preceding period, and at Ananassa it was 437, as against 354, or an average increase in the two years. Pardons, Paroles, Etc. Better Highways "The question of better roads has received more than unanticipated attention, having held in various parts of the state and great interest in building. Many of the highways of the state have become models of good road building. Many of the highways of the state have become models of good road building. Constant attention I believe can be kept year. Special consideration has been made to the River road, connecting Connecticut with Davenport and Following generally to the Transcontinental road between the Transcontinental road between the general course of the Northwestern railroad. And now it is proposed to extend the general course of the state to be known as the Blue Grass road and connecting Connecticut state lines north part of the state to be called the Blue River City, thereby the best and most scientifically constructed highway to be built in Powellville, Montezuma, Montana, Milton, Brooklyn and Glenhill in Powellville county. It is built by the state government, expended by the board of supervisors. "I believe that some legislation is needed with regard to highway construction and maintenance. I would clothe the board of supervisors with power to employ a competent engineer to work under the authority of the government, and would abolish the office of county surveyor and have the duties now devolving upon him performed by the engineer. As a special fund to be used for dragging the roads, I would set aside one-quarter or one-third of the taxes collected for the road, and I would expand by the trustees, and would forbid its use for any other purpose than that of dragging. Then it should be provided that the work of road building should be done before the fall of the year, when to work the roads, except to drag them, means to put them in condition after the trip is possible during the winter and spring months." "One of the just sources of criticism regarding the expenditure of road funds is that too much of the money collected for road purposes is invested in heavy and costly machinery, which is unnecessary in the care of the roads. Some such machines are used for the purpose of an under-supplied way, a waste of funds. I urge upon you careful consideration of the question of better highways. I do not however recommend an increase in the levy for road purposes, but the adoption of means whereby better results can be found from the use of new materials is not the case." If hundreds of miles of roads can be put in shape and kept up on the present levy, why can not many thousands of miles be so kept, if proper attention and care is exercised." "I believe that the road laws of the state should be simplified and brought together in one continuous enactment." Fish and Game. "The last session of the general assembly unected a law, providing that all persecutors hunting in the state should procure from a county auditor of some county the funds required to hunt one hundred or one dollar should be paid. The fees derived from the sale of the licence were known as the "taxes," and wore to constitute a fund to be known as the "funds." The funds should be used for the protection and propagation of fish and games for the purpose of recreation. An unexpectedly large amount of money was received in this fund, which was received on July 1, 1919, $109, $283 have been received. There was in the treasury Janu- "The reminder of the fund collected has been expended in the department, in the employment of deputies, in the care and treatment of the sick, in the petition and apportionment of fish and game." Law Observance "Two years ago when I delivered my inaugural address, conditions in the law were appropriate but necessary that I empathize with the laws relating to the state, especially the laws relating to the sale of property. The general assembly then in session enacted a number of statutes the purpose of which was the enforcement of law and also, better and cleaner official statutes. While there is no doubt but that it has resulted there is no doubt but that it has resulted part of otherwise lax officials and has secured a better observance of laws in general. The states are better enforced today than they have been at any time in recent years." The Death of Senator Dolliver The state was greatly shocked at the death of a student which occurred on the evening of the loth day of October last, at his home in Fort Smith, Arkansas, representing our state as its senior军官 department, caused a vacancy, which I have given to the appointment of Hon. Lafayette Johnson, the honorary institute's last until your honorable bodyills the vacancy or adjourns without ill- There has been much talk about the matter of whether a lawyer matters of electing a senator and providing for a special primary so that the senator can reference thirteen. The law clothes you wear and enrols you in the law school and enrols you when the responsibility of filling the vacancy and I trust that you will be successful. INAUGURALADDRESS Executive Tells of Wonderful Progress Made in Development of Resources of State—Reception Follows Inaugural. Des Moines, Jan. 13—Governor B. F. Carroll unveils his inaugural address to the members of the thirty-fourth general assembly of Iowa, in joint session. The governor, including many prominent people from various parts of the state. Following the governor's inauguration, a brilliant reception was seen, which was attended by a large number of people. The governor inaugural Address. Members of the Thirty-fourth session of the General Assembly, January, 1911, stated the conditions considered for the duties of Chief Executive of our State, I want to acknowledge with gratitude the confidence in me to be the honor that has again been conferred. The two years lying ahead poised to connect to the effort of state as to meet the consideration that has been so generously extended by the governor. A few days ago I transmitted to you a message in which I discussed a length of discussion on the state and the state and man a number of suggestions as to matt. rs. of legislation. In this discussion I discussed the growth and development of the state and with these questions which relate to the dolga and actions of the people as to the government officials and to the General Assembly. Fifty Years of Results I have witnessed fifty years of development of our splendid Commonwealth. It is a great honor to be a fifth fity I was not of that age to give particular attention to the growth of the state and its people. I was fifth my years until recently it has been my privilege to see and study it from every angle. In the half century that has passed I have seen much of the cultivated portion of the landscape and from the forests and have seen its importance and from the forests and from the most crude and primitive from the most advanced and enlightened. From the little old diary, the cradle, the pepperbox threshing machine, the ox cart and the litch pin wagon, we have seen the horse and the cow row cultivator, the self binder, the threshing machine that cuts the bands, feeds the cattle, the horse and the cow automobile as a means of conveyance, we have converted the sod house of North Carolina to the spicidal and magnificent chimney and puncheon floor of the wooden state. We have elevated labor and broadman. We have digested and trained every profession known to our state and, most importantly, we have mind the possibilities of the future are as promising as the fulfillment of the past. We have minded the possibilities of the future and the prospect for the future we owe, in a large measure, to that generation into our state during the first half of our century that day and age. Those pioneers were men and women of great wealth and prepared this fertile kingdom, which towns, for a great and glorious Commonwealth and whether they halted from the bleak prairies of the north and west they were building and planning for the future, up and up and say that the work of that generation was not wisely and grandly done? Bixty four Years a State We are now in the sixty-fifth year of our statehood. During that time nineteen different individuals have occupied the position with which you have honored me for a second time. Eighteen of these men came from states other than Iowa. New England has furnished us six executive, viz.: Grimes, from New Hampshire; Merrill, from Maine; Griggs and Shaw, from Vermont; Hempstead and Larrabee, from Connecticut. Maryland gave us Kirkwood; Illinois, Drake! Ohio, Lowe an Garst: Pennsylvania, Carpenter, Newbold and Cummins, while New York was the birthplace of Stone, Gear, Sherman, Boles and Jackson. These men have done much to bring our state up to the high standing which it now enjoys in the slaterhood of states. Some of them came to Iowa when it was yet a territory and assisted in laying the foundation upon which the Government of the Commonwealth is bullied. They were members of the early assemblies and of the constitution conventions. At that time the population and wealth of the state was largely confined to the eastern portion, but its settled territory extended quite rapidly. Our progress has been almost consistent and development has been marked. Lands which are of the Federal Government from three to eight cents per acre are now worth as much as $200 per acre. We have grown in population from about 96,000 in 1848 to nearly 2,225,000 in 1910. We have converted our forests and prairies, almost 55,000 square miles in area, into as many square miles of cultivated and productive land. We furnished nearly 70,000 CILs. War soldiers and our full-time军营人员 are also stationed at the American War volunteers. We have increased the production of our greatest stane, corn, from 1,400,000 bushels in 1845, to nearly 355,000,000 bushels in 1910. We have established in the state 1,656 banks and banking institutions with deposits approaching $400,000,000. Our insurance interests are second to those of perhaps not more than two or three other states. We have bullied and are operating more than 1,000 miles of agricultural land. To value our loans for the last year exceeded $362,000,000. While the total value of farm products, including live stock, exceeds $800,000,000. We have given to the nation the greatest agricultural state in the union. Loss in Population. We have been hearing a great deal about the loss of 7,600 people out a total number of two and one million ones in the previous weeks to find the figure representing the per cent of de- fault. Accepting the figures showing the population perfectly rational explanation for the decrease which does not in any manner reason for the increase, let me say in this connection that the national census of 1900 shows the population 231,858, while the state census of 1905 shows only 221,858, while the state census of 1905 represents the total population at 2,162,812 in 1910 places the figures representing the total population at 2,162,812 during the last five years. During the ten years period, however, there is shown a decrease in the number of farms in the state as shown by the 1900 census was 228,622 and by the recent census certainly cannot be said that any land has actually been lost to agriculture. The number of farms have been consolidated with other farms families previously occupying the farms thus lost, being farmers families, have in recent sought homes elsewhere than in Iowa. The same census enumeration which has done the in-person in population has done use the kindness of pitfall figures that present a very different pic- Knights Will Hold Session. Osaka, Ia. 10. 04. 06. 07. 08. 09. Ditchfell of Ditchfell will be held here in the afternoon and evening of Jan. 17. The district includes Cerro Gordo, Chickasaw, Floyd, Worth and Mitchell counties. Smith's Appointment Expected ture and tell a very different story. For example, the recent census shows that 19,200,000,000 people increased in round numbers from 19,000,000,000 in 1900 to 19,200,000,000 in 1900. The value of buildings alone increased nearly 100 percent, the value of materials and machinery increased nearly 40 per cent. The expenditures for labor increase by 10 percent, flow can any one one study these figures and those that I have here presented, anything seriously the matter with Iowa. Loss in School Population. I do not feel so deeply concerned about the loss of a few thousand people from our general population as I do about the loss in school population. From 1900 to 1910, as shown by the annual school examination, the school population of the state decreased from 731,100 to 611,204, showing a loss of 0.100 persons of school age in ten years, being almost seven and one-half per cent decrease. This would indicate that in the main our loss in population consists of the younger men and women who are the parents of children less than twenty-one years of age. The result is that the attendance in our public schools, especially in the country in 1986 there were 1,162 schools in the state with an enrollment of ten pupils or more of 671 such schools. If this rate of decrease is continued, the number of schools will become of the rural school. We are confronted with no more schools in population to our country schools and much more critical reason it attains to continue the loss of the rural population. Restore the old time number of pupils to the rural school population will be greatly simplified. The school question will be greatly simplified. The size of the farms in town have increased from 10.72 acres to 10.8 acres, or about 10 percent more. The population has been only about three-tenths of one acre. And previously shown much of the loss in school population is contained not only in movement from the state, but from the country town, but from the country town not peculiar to town alone, but has for years been the oldest densely populated states. Keep the boy on the Iowa Farm. The slogan "Keep the boy on the farm" should be changed to "Keep the boy on the farm." Then, too, it is important that we keep the girl on the farm. Proper credit has never been given to the girls and women for the part that has taken in the development of the state and especially in the government of our children. He is the only of Iowa that has met every requirement that could be expected of wives, mothers and daughters. Every inducement should be held out both to the girl and to the boy who show a disposition to interest themselves in those things pertaining to country life, to get them to stay upon the farm. It is not, however, every farmer's own choice. You should make good or every girl who would make it as good as ever. You may also make it is every merchant's own who would make it a good merchant or every lawyer's son who would make a good attorney. It used to be thought that if a boy did not show an aptitude for anything else he would make a good farmer, but the day of such way of thinking has passed. It is not, however, the only of all that can make a good farmer. It does not succeed at farming will find no more honour or profitable occupation. How can we encourage people to remain upon the farm? By making farm life more attractive. The farm home should be the equal in all respects to the independent or city home and with the same independent systems of light and water. It is possible to give up the country home as a rule. It is the equal of any other I have been delighted, as I have gone about the state, to see the marked development along the lines above suggested. The figures previously quoted showing increase of nearly 80 per cent increase of buildings in ten years means that we are building better farm as well as town structures. The improvement of our highways so as to bring the country home into closer relation to city and town life would, in my opinion, prove a potent factor in the tendency in the country to increase the country. In this way, we are making progress. We have reached the period in our country's development when farm life means more than the raising of horses, cattle and hogs. It means all that is to be done is to increase the development of the highest type of American land in all the realm of professional or business life so we find more successful men and women than those who came from the farm. The atmosphere surrounding the country home means the development of strong minds and the ability to work in the present day. What is it, then, that makes as well as those stream of your home, as well as those of your years, to leave the farm and seek employment in the cities and towns? While there may be many answers to the questions, it seems to me that there are a few very potent and obvious reasons relating them to being better of, labor employable, the health of the family, the employment of the year, better social advantages and the fact that the high price of lands makes it difficult for the man of small means to culp himself with land, machinery, etc., necessary to engage in farming upon his own account. Advertise and Educate. Much has been said and所-de- verity of the conditions of our state, in a very difficult way. The difficulties of our state, because not that much good could be accomplished by judiciously publishing the country at large. The advantages to our Comrade are that if we believe in a belief in a system of education, here is the same. We have among our own people. I do not speak these words in any spirit of criticism, because we have been making such marked progress in recent years. We have been making such marked progress in recent years that we would be warranted in making it feel more like stopping to commend than to find fault, and yet with all this we do not fully realize the possibilities of our future. We have been making such marked progress in recent years, because the almost unlimited resources of our soil when we have been making the progress in recent years. In the wrong direction, In this, at least, that our farms are increasing in size. Many men may have been making a great deal of that, but what we need to learn is more intensified farming. Produce more upon fewer acres Our farms are capable of furnishing pro- fitable returns for man. We will not be able to demonstrate the more close. Ground which now yields thirty to forty bushels of corn per acre should be made to yield double that amount. This is no reckless statement and, therefore, we should not demonstrate the exास in order to demonstrate the fact. Upon a test, lands in our state have been made to yield more than one hundred and fifty bushels of corn to the acre, which is almost four times the size of the field. When it is here, the instances more than fifty bushels to the acre during the last year and qats has gone from eighty to ninety bushels. These things are not the case, but they are generally understood. If the average yield of corn could be brought up to fifty bushels per acre, it would be a gain of about twenty-five per cent over last year's crop, at a gain in value of more than $32,000, We need to have better attention given to reclaiming lands lying along our streams and which, when brought into cultivation, constitute the most productive soil to be found anywhere in the state. This can be done, and in some parts of the state, is being done by straightening the streams and tiling out the ground. The most valuable small farms to be found in the state are that which have been found in this reclaimed. What was formerly known as the "Dock pond" country of northwest Iowa is fast becoming the most fertile and productive part of the state, through means of drainage. From the best finness obtainable, it would seem we have already expended more than $105,000,000 for drainage purposes throughout the state. We have laid approximately 40,000,000 rods, or about 124,000 miles of tile, enough to enclave the globe almost the same. Most of this has been in place in the enactment of our present design, of which the laws, if it is estimated that it will be necessary to expend about $150,000,000 more to complete the work of drainage in the Traveling Men's Liberty League Meet Clinton, Ia., Jan. 10. — The traveling men's liberty league held its annual meeting here and elected J. B. Pucke of Davenport, president; M. A. Struble, Sioux City, and J. J. Ament; Dyersville, vice presidents; J. B. Stewart, secretary and treasurer. Blizzard Coming Fast. Denver, Col., Jan. 10. - a genuine mid-winter blizzard from Alaska in working eastward with great speed. It is storming and raining down the California coast. state. This will mean, when done, that from six to seven dollars per acre for every acre of land in Iowa has been spent for drainage purposes. The increase yield in crops of a very few years will many times compensate for this expenditure of money. This large increase in the productive capacity of the farms needs to be supplemented by like extension of other interests. The use of allos has become so general that there can be no longer any question but that they are to be a permanent thing with us and there is no reason why the also as well as the machines for preparing enslings should not be manufactured here in Iowa. All that is needed along these lines is to get the attention of our people directed toward these various interests. We will then have enlarged our demand for labor and for the use of capital, both of which have been going elsewhere to find employment. I believe that our people are beginning to realize the importance of these matters as they have not done heretofore and that we are upon the eve of larger developments along these lines. Literacy. One of the real sources of prides to every citizen of our Commonwealth who stands for higher and better things in the affairs of the state is the fact that while our population is made up of the representatives of almost every nation of the globe, our census of 1990 shows that no more than half of all of the people over five years of age living within the borders of our state can read and write, and of those who have passed school age only one per cent but what can read and write. No where in all of the states of the union is there to be found a more intelligent, thirty and prosperous people. We are blessed with a large number of small cities, but are not burdened with any overgrown places where the undesirable element accumulates. With the apparently equal advantages that obtain as to the various parts of the state and the well-balanced population, we may reasonably expect the interests of the entire Commonwealth to move along in about the same manner. We need to continue to educate our people in matters of agriculture, the care and cultivation of the soil, the selection of seed, the rotation of crops and the value of animal husbandry. These are our great and natural sources of wealth. I think it will be admitted that we have been making very marked improvements along all the lines I have mentioned, but the work should be continued. I think, however, that some, especially those who have so strongly urged the teaching of agriculture in the rural schools, overlooked the fact that a great school of instruction is carried on throughout the state from one year's end until the next. Thousands of agricultural papers and journals of a high order are sent into the farmers' homes every week, and through them are constantly presented the most advanced and up-to-date method and ideas. Then, too, the farmers themselves are working out many of the problems of successful farm life. Along with the questions of agriculture, large sums of money were made off of the fruit crop of 1909 and very much more could have been realized if our people had been educated in the matter of caring for, preparing and marketing and in disposing of their crop. We need also to continue to educate our people in the matter of shoe raising and clothing. We need to have half million of milk cows which we now have should be increased to meet the care care should be exercised in the selection of dairy cow, so as to eliminate those which do not need it. We need to keep probable. In my opinion the enlargement of the dairy interests of the state would almost any other kind of farming. It is not only a probable industry, but dairy farming conserves the productive capacity. Corn and hog have brought great wealth to the state, but many other forms of agriculture have been produced. The poultry industry, while in the main engaged in an aslendent farming, the census of 1905 showed that we had, at that time, more than 22,000,000 chickens in the state. The number of produced was nearly $11,100,000. This review of the various branches of agriculture even here in this great country, but we need something besides agriculture even here in this great country, but we need capital. Our people are to consume and do consume the best of everything placed in our manufacturing more of the things we produce. All that is needed is to get our people interested in these I do not claim originality for the saying "more business and less politics," but I have been advocating it wherever I have gone for many months, and the state will have taken a long stride forward when that spirit shall be caught up from one border of the Commonwealth to the other. Would it not be a good time to revive the Indian meaning of the word "Iowa," viz., "This is the place," and let it be understood to mean the place for business, the place for profitable investments, the place where pauperism is reduced to the minimum. The place where illiracy is scarcely known, the place of good homes, the place where the most valuable and productive farms in all the world are to be found. These things will not only attract but hold the best people in all the earth. Time and your patience preclude the propriety of a further continuance of this discussion, but I want in closing to send a message from the good people of Iowa to those of her sister states and welcome them to this great Commonwealth whose richness of soil, whose character of citizenship and whose opportunities for successful business enterprise are equal to those of any other state in the union. Here poverty is at a minimum and plenty is in abundance. Last year we produced enough corn to equal almost one hundred and sixty bushels for every man, woman and child in the state, enough eggs to have furnished every individual in the state an egg for breakfast every day in the year and to have had a surplus of sixteen million dozen left over; though, after the addition of some of theoughly hundred and thirty pounds per year for each family of four persons. In other words, we could have furnished during the single year 1910 for every man, woman and child in the United States practically four bushels of corn, one dozen eggs and a roll of butter. Though we do not claim superiority as a small grain producing state, we nevertheless produced enough wheat last year to have furnished four and one-half bushels to each individual in our state; enough barley to have furnished seven and three-tenth bushels per capita and oats equal to seventy bushels per capita. Should we endeavor to load the horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats and mules of the stock, and keep the mules of the stock at the time of the train running for forty-two per day from this city to Chicago over any one of the train lines connecting the two places. Starts first that train at the hour of the morning every day, and then the year, the last train would not be moved before the first day of next January. Shall not portray to your own crop of the picture of the Iowa corn cropped ended onto a wagon train moving around the globe, as has been so often done, but will state that last year's crop would require such a train to be sent to the port, but the time to be sent to the length, or equal (to two and two-thirds times the circumference of the earth). Should we today load our corn crop of the year into a wagon, each holding forty-two per day from the beginning of the month, then by the state house, single file, allowing forty feet to each team and wagon and (travel) forty miles a day every day in the year, the last team will process each paid-off on the last year would not have passed before July 4th, 1916. Such is the condition of our state the loss of a few thousand of whose populations has attracted the stagnation of the state. For some of the United States. I take no stock in the suggestion that those people who have gone from among us represent our undesirable population. If you will go to the area where we want you to find the we have sent them the best class of citizens to be found within their borders and that there they are helping to bring those rights to a blue-bunned that we have attained to here by, reiter the loss.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO.

This is the third month I have used your scalp treatment, and I am greatly pleased with its success. My hair has grown more than four inches, and has aken on new life. It is very soft. I am very well pleased with the treatment Philadelphia, Penn., April 24, 1910. Scalp Specialist of Denver, Colo., demonstrating in Philadelphia, I decided to write her relative to my hair. I received a prompt reply, and sent for her treatment at once. Being so well pleased with the same I went to Philadelphia to have her give me a personal treatment. I never used anything that was so wonderful to the hair, as her treatment. My hair started to grow from the very first, the treatment not only causes the hair to grow, but removes dandruff and makes the hair soft and glossy. My husband thinks my hair is beautiful and makes it that it is the best I have ever used. I advise all good women that want good hair to write Madam Perkins, for she is doing just what she advertises to do, for those that will carefully follow her instructions. Dear Mrs. Perkins: How much I wished I had known you years ago, and taken your treatment for the hair. I would have had better hair today if I had. In the few months I have used your treatment there is such a decided change in my hair and scalp. This is the best treatment I ever used or heard of before, and if your customers would tell the truth they will say the same. I intend to use it as long as I am able to buy it. I wish more of our womens knew of your work and would take your treatment. I have known Mrs. T. T. D. Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the past three years. I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to me it was in her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once, and we expressed the wonderful results of her hair treatment on many hair treatments the result of her beautiful condition. Mrs. Perkins' first treatment proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her class for treatment for beautifying and growth of the hair. Dear Madam: I have been using your hair treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful. My hair was so short I could hardly pin it up when I began using it, and in one week's time I could see an improvement. I have used many things on my hair to make it grow, but none ever did the good yours has. I can without exaggeration say this is the most wonderful tonic have ever used. My hair has grown wonderfully since I started to use it and I must say I am highly pleased with the method of treatment, and I can and will gladly recommend you to anyone wanting their hair to grow.
