HERRIOTT'S PROTEST.
His Position on the Railroad Assess
meut Set Forth

DIES MONIES. March 29.-State Treas.
urer John lIcrriott yesterday filed
with the secretary of the executive
council statement of his views on the
railroad assessment question and an
exposition of what he declares to be
the shameless subserviency of the
other members of the executive coun-
Gil to the interests of the Chicago &
Northwestern road. The document is
very long. He charges that time and
again the railroad assessments have
been made in the private office of the
secretary of state, in consultation with
one or two railroad attorneys. He
charges that his demands for an equit-
able assessment have been ignored be-
cause the other members of the council
were anxious to preserve the advan-
tage which has long been possessed by
the railroad interests which they rep
resent. Mr.. lierriott's document was
prepared for the records of the council
in explanation of his relations to the
recent sick-room assessment. in which

did not want to meet with Mr.. Mer-
RAM, FRUSTRATED by illness, because he
knew discussion would lead to n vio-
lence of dcnunciation which could not
but grievously affect the nerves of a
sick man. He takes up in detail the
statement made by the goTer or and
answers it, arguing that railroads do
not pay more than other property, as
the governor urges, and showing the
lack of system in present assessment
methods. He explains carefully his
own plan and shows the alleged in
EQUITIES of the present distribution OF
taxation. In six years the North
western, he asserts, has been under.
up by overtaxing the other roads. Mr..
lIerriott is unsparing in his denuncia-
tion of his associates in what he terms
hetTayiDg the interests of the people
and perpctrating travesty on justice,
for the sake of a corporation able to do
political favors.
After the publication of Mr.. Her
RIOTS statement the majority of the
executive council. consisting of Gov
ernor Shaw, Secretary of State Dobson
and Auditor of State Merriam filed a
reply 10 his protest with the secretary
of the council. They declare that
Iowa railroads are higher taxed in
proportion to other property and in
proportion to the railroads of other
states, and defined their method of
assessing the railroads. Answering
the charge of partiality to the North
western the reply says:
The treasurer charges that the

Testing favoritism in behalf of the

bers of the present council have served

the assessment of the Northwestern
railway has been increased $3.50, 900,
while the aggregate assessment of the
Rock Island road, on which the treas
urer resides, has been decreased over
100000. Let the facts speak for
themselves"

ward
LONDON, March 3O.-The Beers are
concentrating in force about fifteen
miles north of Bloemfontein, in the
rear of Glen, and Lord Roberts is send
ing forward troops to engage them.
The Seventh infantry division and
part of Gen. French's cavalry have
been sent up to join the Fourteenth
brigade and the two cavalry regiments
that are holding Glen and its environs.
1t does not seem probable that the
Beers will give serious battle in the
fairly open country north of Glen.
Still, their evident strength indicates
more than a corps of observation. In
small affairs the Beers are daringly
aggressive in all parts of the field of
war. The Johannesburg mounted po-
lice, esteemed by the Beers as their
best mounted commando, are raiding
the country near Bloemfontein, harass-
ing the farmers who have given up
their arms to the British and carrying
off cattle.

Articles Are Filed of Southern Iowa
Railway.
DIES MONIES, March ga new rail-
way project was formally launched by
the filing of articles of incorporation
by the Southern Iowa railway. The
new line is said to be Chicago &
Northwestern movement, and will ex-
tend from that company's road into
Mahaska and Monroe counties for the
purpose of tapping the valuable coal
fields in that vicinity. The incorpor-
ators named in the articles are Daniel
d. Bathrick and Henry V. Ferguson,
and the headquarters of the new road
will be at Cedar Rapids. The capital
stock is placed at $500. 900. This move
has been in contemplation for some
time, but the filing of the articles of
incorporation is the first tangible evil
dence that the Southern Iowa railway
promoters really meant business. Fiji
ty-siX miles will be constructed at once
and the line is expected to make very
material changes in the coal mining
industry which is now carried on in
that section.

that Lord Roberts, when he is prepared

enemy's position without attacking it
in front, and that the entrenching now

ity. General Buffers operations may
be more costly, as the country in
which he will operate is most unfavor-
able for an attack. The reasons for t."
long halt at Bloemfontein and at Lady

there will be cooperation between the
two forces, and it is also probable that
the third column, from Mafeking, will
be available. The strength of the
