AN lMP0R fANT DECISION,
Judge House Gives Out Opinion
Touching Tax Ferret Business.

Clinton. June 2s.-Judge House, Of
the Clinton district court, has Just
handed down an opinion which will be
OF vital interest to thousands OF people
In the state OF Iowa. The new code
provides that county supervisors can
employ expert tax "ferrets', to exam
Inc the county records for the purpose
of ascertaining IL taxpayers are with
holding their property from the asses
sors. The code provides for the col-.
lection OF all taxes not listed for the.
past Ave years, which. in many in
stances, amounts to thousands of dol
lars. In Clinton county these experts
have Just finished an examination of
the county records and thousands OF
dollars were found on which no taxes
are being paid. The same condition ex }
lists all over the state, as has been
shown in the counties where experts
have been employed to look the matter
up. This examination mas Dtrn- sums
on In different parts OF the state for the
past two years and perhaps . half
million dollars additional taxes have
been turned into, the countsr rsasurers'

The bride and. groom We're stopping

Mr.. Holstein, when they were called
upon by a crowd Of country boys, who
made a none too polite demand for
money for beer with which TO celebrate
the marriage and drink their health.
Not satisfied with Mr.. Holstein's par
tial compliance. the crowd proceeded
to the groom's house and in his abb
sence began to commit acts Of wanton
destruction and vandalism. They
Sdaubed paint over the furniture and
woodwork and walls; they ripped up
the bedding, tore the sheets into rib
sbons and otherwise disported as row
dies.

CHEAP FLOUR.
Board Of Controls Foresight Saves
the State . Neat Sum on
Flour.
Contract Was Made For Unlimited
Quantity Before the Recent
Big Advance
The State Will Get It's Flour Sup.
ply at Cheap Wheat
Figures.

Des Moines, June 26.-Iowa state In
stitutions have flour to bake at least, IL
not to burn. In April the state board Of
control bought 5000 barrels at 50 per
barrel. Now barrel costs $4.25, with
"a prospect of seeing IS. On the 5000.
barrels about $500 has been saved the
state. But in addition the contract pro-
vides that the board may take as much
more as 1t elects. This means that 1t
can buy at the minimum price a maxi
mum quantity of the staff. saving an
indefinite quantity of silver which is
not going up hand In hand with wheat
these times. Nor are the dealers which
sell lit losing money, for they bought the
wheat as soon as they knew they could
sell the flour. The board intendsto buy
enough flour at the minimum price to
last the state institutions for the next
six months after Oct. l. OF course
saving of $4,000 in c year isn't much,
but the tax payers Of the state very we'll
know that it is not to be sneezed at.
The jump in flour on the board OF
trade has not affected the price of the
L y
| is apt to do SO at any moment. The
bakers are beginning to feel the advance
in flour, and as soon as they have to
buy supply at the new prices they will
undoubtedly make some change in the
price Of bread. Whether this change
Twill be in the form OF an advance in
price or a decrease in the size Of the
loaves has not yet been determined. If

will have to stand the loss. If the price
/ is raised the retailers will have to stand
4 the burden. The Des Moines bakers
sell to the retailers at the rate of from
4 Thirty to thirty-five loaves, for 81. Re-
4 tailers sell it at six for a quarter. 1t
will be easier for the bakers to add a
little to their price than for the grocers
4 and other retailers to sell single loaves
| at cents or more.
"If flour continues to go up or stays
where 1t is now, bread will certainly be
advanced in Des Moines" said w II.
Korn, Monday. Pound loaves at thirty
4 for 81 don't make anybody any money
with -four at $3.50 a barrel. Flour has
4 advanced more than 81 in the past two
4 weeks and there is no telling how high
lit may go But even If it goes no higher.
A the bakers. when they come to stock up
4 on flour at the new price, will have to
S|sput up the price Of bread or sell without
q a profit. THERE'S no combine among the
4 bakers of this city. If there is an adj
4 vance, it will be decreed by the individ-
81 uals Some bakers are still selling two
small loaves for a nickel. i believe II
: will be impossible for them to keepzit UP
now. The 5 cent loaves may have to be
q cut down."
