Insurance Managers Warm.

Insurance managers representing eight
leading life companies doing business in
Iowa met this afternoon and called DR.. J.
W.. Kline, well known as the publisher OF
the Iowa Medical Journal, before them. They
accused him Of having made misrepresenta-
tions to them and of having started a deal
to work Iowa physicians.
He said there was a misunderstanding
They proposed to send circulars to all of
Iowa's 5000 physicians explaining his
scheme, but he agreed to prepare and send
the circulars. His scheme was the organi-
zatlon of the National Examiners Registry
company, For this company he had secured
the Endorsements OF these agents and others,
with membership fees Of IS and promises of
81 for the register when compiled. This
register was to contain a list of prominent
physicians in the state, whom the companies
could secure as medical examiners, and
these physicians were to be brought together
in the association meetings for discussion
with the company representative on insur-
ance topics. DR.. Kline turned the work of
getting the physicians names in the regis
ter over to agents. They sent out circulars
telling that the registry had been Endorsed
and that physicians whose names were in
the registry woull get the benefit Of making
the examinations for the life companies Of
Iowa, and that these companies would pay
from SO to IS as an examination fee. To
get their names in the registry the physi-
clans were asked for s. and were expected
to pay S. on receipt of the register. The
company representatives expected that the
names Of reliable physicians would be
printed, but discovered that the names
Of only those willing to pay the fees
would be in the registry lists. Kline threat
ened with prosecution agreed to return all
moneys received and drop the scheme.

QUESTION or PAYING REVENUE STAMP TAX
Companies Fail 20 File Their Paper,
In Habens Corpus Proceedings,
and Revenue Collectors VIII
File Complaints.

DES MONIES, July 3~0.-(Speclal Tele-
gram.)-The express companies failed to file
their papers in the babeas corpus proceed
ings in the federal court growing out of the
question Of whether or no. the companies
should pay the war revenue tax on express
packages and In consequence Of this IL was
today announced that the fed ,ral authorities
will on Monday proceed against the COM
panies in this and all other places in Iowa.
On the Monday following that date the
deputy internal revenue collectors will file
complaints against every express company
which fails to apply the l cent stamp upon
the receipt given customers for their pack
ages. The indications are that the express
companies are going to have a lively time Of
1t In Iowa.
Executive Council Busy.
The executive council today fixed the state
tax levy In Iowa for this year at three and
two-tenths mills, which with the special
legislative levy of one-tenth of a mill for
the state university makes the total state
levy three and three tenths mills. Chapter
"a OF the acts Of the twenty-seventh general
assembly requires the council to fix such a
levy on the assessed valuation Of state prop
erty as to raise 81, 800, 900. The total valu-
alton as reported to the state auditor was
$40, 600, 900 in round figures. The Board Of
Review found 1t impracticable and %inequit-
able to try to increase the personal property
assessment this year. 1t was therefore nee
essary to fix a levy that would raise the
amount Of money required by the statute
and a three and two-tenths mills levy was
determined upon.
The executive council at It's session to-
day in addition to fixing the state levy made
the assessment of telephone and telegraph
companies in the state. The total ASSESS
ment Is increased. The levy on the assess
ment was fixed at three and one-third per
cent. The total assessment is 1890, 1888 and
the revenue will be $31, 011.27. The increase
In the state levy was made necessary by
the legislature through Its recent enact
ments. 1t reduced the per cent basis of as
sessment from thirty-three nominally to
twenty-five, 1t fixed the amount to be raised
at 81, soc. 900 and it failed to provide ade-
quate means to enable the council to equal
ize personal property assessments.
