Some of the councilman favor rescinding
the action of the clt council last week
In panning the levy of JH tnilla for the
park fund and cutting the levy to at leant
2 mills, if not to IV mill. Those council
men who are In favor of reconsidering the
action of last week contend that the stat
utes make II discretionary with the city
council whether It ahall approve the full
amount asked to be levied by the park. In
support of their position they cite section
sffl-c. supplement of the code of 1WT7. which
reads as follows:
The board shall, on or before the first
nay or AU;ili mwr.n yrr, ubi iiimr
Ik the amount or rate not exceeding 2
mills fth Thirty-third General Assembly
amended to make this read 24 mills) on
the dollar In all cities and towns on the
valuation of such city or town to be levied,
elected and appropriated for the ensuing
year, for park purposes, and shall cause
the same to be certified to the city or
town council. 'Which shall levy suoh ta
or so much thereof as It may deem neces
sary to promote park Interests, and certify
the per cent thereof to the county auditor,
and the other taxes for said year.
The law governing the park levy, the
councllnien Insist, Is perfectly plain and
unquestionably makes It discretionary with
the ilty council as to the amount that
shall he levied. It Is expected that the
matter will be brought tip at the meeting
of the city council tonight
Trrsasrer'i Statement.
"With over $7,000 at present in the park
fund. I fall to see the necessity of levy
ing ti mills for the maintenance of the
parks for , the ensuing year," said City
Treasurer True. "In my optnlon t mills
would be ample to levy, and if the Park
board would only practice a little economy,
I feel sure that It could get along nicely
with the revenue from a levy of lVj mills."
Like City Treasurer True, some of the
counetlmen are of the opinion that It
would be to the benefit of the taxpayers
if the Park board would practice a little
economy In Its expenditures. Last year
the board expended over $3,000 In the erec
tion of a cement , block building in Fair
mount park which President Oraham
termed a "rest house." This year the
board la expending a large sum In con
structing a private water system for Fair
mount park. Another Instance of the man
ner In which the park funds are expended
is the modern residence erected In Fair
mount park at a cost of exceeding W.OflO,
which olnce the day It was compW-ted has
been occupied by the family of a nephew
of Commissioner Oraham at a rental of
only $1.V) a year.
8ome of the council men who have been
looking Into the expenditures of the park
board take exception to the payment out
of the park funds for the private residence
telephones of the three members of the
park board. The telephone at the Fair
mount park cottage, occupied by Mrs.
Oliver., to-alae paM out of the park funds.

Greater Iowa dab Visionary.
The scheme of the Greater Iowa club
to Import Jewish, Italian and Swiss farm
ers to Iowa In order to show the Iowa
farmers '"how to do it," is branded as
visionary by the Wallace Farmer, pub
lished in this city. Henry Wallace, the
editor, was one of the members of Roose
velt's Country Life commission. He points
out that there are no Jewish farmers
worth mentioning. In the first place and
no Italian farmers outside or me smaii
fruit districts of the south and that 8wlss
farmers are as scarce as hen's teeth. He
Intimates that it will not be surprising
If the Oreater Iowa club, which has been
organized for the purpose of exploiting
Iowa, should take up visionary' projects
at times and says the farm problems of
Iowa will sooner be settled by farmers
than through any other source
Teachers Go West.
State Superintendent J. F. Riggs believes
Iowa school directors must raise the wages
of teachers considerably higher than they

teachers. Iowa spends money to educate
them and they go west to get the better
wanes." said Mr. Riggs today "Thare are
usually 3,000 to 4,000 more certificates out
standing from Iowa than there are teachers
employed In the state. It Is poor economy
for us to maintain fine educational instltu
tlons and then not pay sufficient wages to
keep the best of our teachera In the state.

GOOD MUSIC FOR CORN PALACE
Mitchell Committee Reenrea Con
tract with Marine
Band.
MITCHELL, S. P., Aug. 15.-(Fpeclal.)
Mitchell will have the biggest musical at
traction for the corn palace this year that
It has had In Its history. A contract was
completed by wire today for securing the
United States Marine band during the week
of the palace, giving concerts each after
noon and evening In the palace building.
The arrangements were concluded with
Lieutenant Santelman by Secretary Ness,
who went to Washington for that purpose.
To secure the band for the week of the
palace It was necessary to secure the aid
of Senator Gamble to Intercede for the
palace committee, as the band had two en
gagements for the same week, one of which
was at the White House to play for Presi
dent Taft, and the other was at the capital.
The dates, however, were cancelled and
the members of the band given a furlough
to come out to Mitchell to play the engage
ment. The band will come direct from
Washington to Mitchell and will play no
other engagement on the way out. The
band Is an expensive proposition and costs
the committee $2,000 more than any other
musical organization that has played at the
palace, and there have been some good
ones, among whom were Sousa twice, Sor
rentlno twice, Phlnney's band twice, and
several big eastern bands. The com palace
dates are from September 37 to October X

SHACK TITLES UNDER FIRE
Effort May Be Made to Ret Aside
Land Patents leaned
I. on k A (.
PIERRE, S. D.. Aug. 16. (Special.) Resi
dents of western Sully county are consider
ably stirred over land troubles which some
one Is developing. In the early days of
settlement of the 'Missouri valley, a large
per cent of the final proofs were what was
known as "shack proofs," the residence not
being aa close as Is required at the present
by the government. It Is safe to say that
over half the final proofs east of the Mis
souri river in South Dakota and eastward
were of this class. Now some one Is re
porting such proofs In Sully county, some
of them running back for years, and the
land having been patented years ago, has
been transferred in some cases a number
of times. On the reports made to the gov
ernment a special agent has been In that
section of the country for some time mak
ing investigations. Just what the outcoms
will be Is, of course, unknown. While it is
not likely that there will be any final can
ceflatlons, the stir may cause trouble to
some of those who made final profjf many
years ago, ana cause mem 10 go into court.
In that case It would be hard to get a Jury
which would set aside title.
Has Wife Arrested, Them Ski.
PIERRE, S. D Aug-, 15. (Special.) The
officials of Stanley county were last week
called upon to arrest Mrs. 'C. M. Whltte
more, who lived about twenty miles south
of Fort Pierre, on a complaint of her
husband, who accused her of being men
tally Incapable, and threatening the lives
of ber husband, their son and herself. The
woman was brought to town, and as soon
as she had gone the husband proceeded to
dispose of property on the farm and
skipped for Galesburg, III. The officers de
cided that tha whole move was a play on
the part of Whlttemore to get away with
the property, and have gone after him on
a charge of wife desertion. The woman,
who is left practically destitute, shows no
evidence whatever of Insanity.
