weeks ago he first visited Wheeling.
Though familiar to q certain extent
with Wheeling, he would say that he
came. he saw and was conquered. He
was surprised at the magnitude OF the
business done here.
He. could give the audience statistical
indigestion. but instead he would re-
duce the figures into diagram. which

there will be no snap Judgment on the
part Of anyone anxious to limit the
number Of nominations for first and
second branches scouncll. At one or
two suggestion meetings in the past,
the first arrivals would call the few
present to order, make q few sugges-
lions aud then adJourn-later others
would come, but only to find it too late
to suggest the names they had in mind.
1t is to prevent such. political trickcry
that the Republican city committee. OF
which County Clerk Richard Robert
son Is chairman and William H. Hor-
nish secretary. has put forth the edlct
that each suggestion meeting must re-
main in session during the period pre-
scribed In the official call-7:30 to Q p.
m. With this procedure. there Will be u
fair field and no favor, likewise no
Kicking and bad blood after the meet
ings. Each meeting. In addition to
suggesting names for the frat and Sec
ond branches Of council, Will suggest
for member Of the city, committee. The
meetings Will be held at the following
places, states the official call. which

No Flash in the Pan.

We don't want q little flash in the
pan here, said MIR. Thompson. You
have here stores In various lines. You
should have subsidiary committees
within the board OF trade. You have
some OF the finest people here have
ever met-you have the Yankee push,
the warm southern hospitality and the
enterprise OF the west. 1t Is a happy
blending OF our sectional characteristics
you have. here.
The board OF trade gives the power OF
concentrated, effort. This is rot the
time or. place, to discuss our work. We
want new dustrlcs-divcrsl1ed indus
tries. 3We. want steel and iron mills

Industries, new TO Wheeling, which
could flourish here. You want to ad-

Should franchise values be taxed? AZ
we determine this question We must de-
terniine the merits of the Cheshire bills
for the taxation of express, telegraph
and telephone companies.
A franchise is property, as one learns
when he undertakes to buy =, and the
theory of the law is that all property
should be taxed Besides we have spec
ial statutes in Iowa for the taxation Of
certain franchises. But the custom OF
taxing them is more aonored in the
breach than in the observance. 1t is
often impracticable to ascertain the
value of franchise in the HANDS of an
individual or firm and il We're manifest
~ unjust to exempt this individual or
firm while taxing the corporation that
completes with it,
However, there is no danger OF such
injustice in the case of the express, tel
egrapn and telephone lines. They are
all in the hands of corporations and it is
practicable TO treat them all alike. so
that none will be placed at a disadvan>
tage in competition. The express COM
panies do a business of s2.O00.0N0 per
year in Iowa and pay only $1,000 per
year of taxes in this state. Most of the
tangible property used In transacting
this business escapes assessment in
