Another Meeting This Evening.

tFrom Saturdays Daily.l
o. L. Smith, of Des Moines, men,
Der of the firm of Smith & Gutterson,
plans for the new public library in this
city, was in Ottumwa last evening and
met with the members of the library
board at the court house for the pur-
pose of answering any questions about
the plans and specifications that might
arise in the minds of the board men,
bers. He brought with him the COM
plete drawings, including iron work,
heating and plumbing, and all the
drawings are now complete for the bid
ders, with the exception of few de-
tails on the delivery desk.
The plans and specifications were
carefully looked over by the board,
and another meeting will be held this
evening for the purpose of becoming
better acquainted with them. There
will be no changes made, it is thought,
outside of few minor ones, and the
contracts for the work will be let on
May 15.

1t has, of course, been known all
along that this building would be OF

manufactures. Iowa, superior to ILL
nois and Wisconsin, having perfect
network of railroads, increased but
16 7-10 per cent. This is lower rate
of increase than from any decade pre-
ceding 1880, and lower than the de-
cade from 1880 to 1890. Why did not
Iowa grow more rapidly? Is the state
to remain forever an agricultural
state simply to be crossed and recross-
ed by the traffic going to and from
other states? Is Iowa to have no
large city to give the state standing
elsewhere and influence in the nation?
Are all our raw materials to be ship
ped elsewhere to be manufactured
and returned to us? Are all our rail-
way lines to be simply utilized as
through lines for traffic, beginning and
ending somewhere else? Iowa is
simply skipped.
The Mississippi river is one basing
point for freight rates and the Mis-
souri, river is the next one. Freight
rates from eastern points are in COM
mon to the Mississippi river, then to
central Iowa the local traffic is added,
making up the through rate. 1t can
be readily seen that conditions as to
handling freight must change before
industries in Iowa can grow and be-
fore there shall be less temptation for
established industries to remove else
where. 1t is noticeable fact that
the factories that we have retained
are those of light products, not max
ing heavy demands on transportation
lines. l would suggest that the COM
mercial organizations in the larger
towns through the center Of the state
where good manufacturing facilities
are at hand appoint joint committees
to inquire into the cause of present
conditions and to ascertain, If posi-
BILE, where the remedy lies. Iowa can
not afford to stand still; to stand still
usually means to go backward. There
fore, in commercial sense, I would
ask every business man and manufac-
turer what is the matter with Iowa?
| call upon my brethren of the press
to assist in finding the cause and ap-
plying the remedy. AS commercial
factor in the sisterhood of states, Iowa
is not considered, except as an outly-
ing belt of country to help build I'm
Chicago. Even in Missouri there are
two great cities constituting manu-
featuring and Shipping center, and a
third one landed an almost national
reputation by phenomenal increase in
manufacturing and iobbing as well as
in population, as shown by the last
census. This is true, while in gen.
eral sense, Iowa is superior to Mis-
souri, in every respect. Even Nebras-
ka and Kansas, after one or two sue
cessful crops, are liable to attract fac
tories. while Iowa does not succeed.
The factory should be near the con-
sumner and near the farm so that the
food products of the farm may fed the
factory hands without the expense of
freight rates. Suppose that we all try
to find out what is the matter with
Iowa in these respects.

HON. LAFAYETTE YOUNG,

many large buildings were erected and
the retail trade of the community was
practically revolutionized, but it is but
fact to state that in. the ten yeaas
referred to no considerable manufac.
tory was secured at Des Moines. One
oatmeal mill and one shoe factory
moved away, and one Touring mill has,
within the past few years, made a
great success. We have commercial
organization to look after and encour-
age new industries. vet such has been
hard to obtain. When industries have
gone into the trust and some establish
ments have closed, the Iowa establish
ments were the first to shut down. A
starch factory is standing closed at At
lantic; at half dozen points packing
houses are standing and being rotted
by the elements. A large mandatory
has been moved from Mt. Pleasant to
a place in Illinois. A large factory has
been removed from Red Oak to New
Jersey. Every considerable town in
the state has been struggling for man.
ufactories which, as a general rule,
have been coming from eastern and
New England points. But Iowa has
not been securing her just proportion.
Complaint cannot be made as to the
labor market. 1t has been ample and
there has been no serious disagree
ments between capital and labor. The
fault has not been altogether in the
lack of raw material, for in some lines
Iowa is rich with raw material. Straw
that would make paper is rotting on
every farm. Cattle and hogs are daily
being shipped to the Chicago slaughter
houses to be shipped back for the use
of our own people. Every economic
law seems to be perverted in order
that Iowa may not have factories.
That the state is good market need
not be stated, for our own people have
ample means with which to buy. The
wholesale grocery trade and other
trades in bulky goods have seemingly
flourished. Great warehouses for the
storage and shipment of farm nipple.
ments have been erected at Des
Moines and Council Bluffs, goods be-
ing received by car loads and distrib.
uted in less quantities. But there is
something wrong somewhere, or else
the growth of Iowa factories would be
better. Who among the editors OF
northeastern Iowa can locate the
cause? How is it in other states
around us?
All. the best towns in Illinois, out
side of Chicago, have enjoyed a
healthy growth in the line of factories
and the increase in population in I'LL
nois, under the new census, was &c
per cent, a greater increase than in
any decade since 1870. Illinois is a
much older state than Iowa and, there,
fore, it might be expected that the
growth would not be at less proper.
ton. How is it in Wisconsin, state
not to be compared with Iowa in an
agricultural sense That state has
had an increase of % 7-1O per cent

WHAT IS THE NATTER WITH IOWA?

Recently Hon. Lafayette. Young, ed
itor of the Iowa Capital, attended a
meeting of the Northwestern Iowa Ed
itorial association, and at the banquet
which followed, he responded to the
toast, What is the Matter With
Iowa?" He paid a glowing tribute to
the state, saying that it was state of
general achievement with no special
ties. Her soldiers had fought we'll in
every war; her statesmen had been
true in every time of trial, but we had
no special heroes and no special states
mon. Iowa men had served as cap
tains, colonies and generals and won
honorable mention; Iowa statesmen
had served in cabinets and in foreign
places always with ability and fidel-
ity; but none had been grandstand
players, nor given much to getting in
to print. Iowa men and measures
were distinguished for conservatism
and safety. The people were steady
going and reliable. Henry Clay Dean
was once asked by Col Sapp why he
left Iowa after pioneer residence of
many years. Dean replied as follows:
"The black republican party
became power in Iowa and

DRY liquor law. There is whisky
gone; they abolished capital punish
ment, there is hanging gone, and now
they are rapidly drifting toward the
Universalist belief in religion. There
is hell gone; and | tell you, Col. Sapp,
will not live in state that does not
believe in whisky, hanging and hell
Iowa has never been the battle
ground of any great epoch. Even the
Indians were at peace mainly between
the two great rivers. Not an acre of
Iowa land was ever blood bought. Iowa
has enjoyed wonderful prosperity dur
ing the past few years, but while this
is true, there are some things that
need explaining. About all the best
towns in Iowa have been complaining
that the census did not show the in
crease to which they were entitled.
The census takers have generally been
found fault with because of the lack
of growth which it was expected the
census would show. In only one or
two other instances have towns and
cities been satisfied with the result
The complaint has been general
through the center of the state, com
mencing with the town on the Cedar

going on down to Fort Dodge, Mar
shalltown, Des Moines, Ottumwa, ETC.
of course including Waterloo on the
way down. These towns are nearly
all favorable situated for manufacture
ing purposes and ought to have grown
Immensely from 1890 to 1900.

R RAILROAD TAXES.
Assessment Almost Made Politi-
cal Issue.
WHERE THE DISBURSEMENTS ARE
Controversy as to Relationship Of Ac.
tuaI Value Of Railroad Property and
the Assessment, and Between Earn.
ines and Taxes Paid.

Des Moines, April 25,-(Special)-
in the Iowa newspapers recently in re-
gard to the recent assessment of the
Iowa railroads by the state executive
council, and the fact that several of
the candidates for governor and other
state offices have been conspicuous in
taking one or the other of the extreme
views prevalent on that subject, has
almost forced the question of railroad
assessments into state politics for the
coming campaign. 1t would seem
that there could be no disagreement
as to what the figures actually demon
strate in regard to assessments, but in
this case as in others, contrary conclu
sions are being drawn from the same
sets of figures. There is a controver-
sy as to the relationship between the
actual value of the railroad property
and the assessment, and this cannot
be settled because value is largely a
matter of estimate or judgment and
no two men will agree on that ele-
ment. There has also been dis
agreement as to the relationship be-
tween the gross and net earnings of
the companies and the taxes paid and
between the assessed valuation and
the taxes paid. That the record might
be less obscure Secretary A. H. Davi-
son, of the state executive council,
will embody in the published report
of the council relating to assessments
several new tables of comparisons
One of these tables shows at glance
the mileage for each year since 1880,
the value, the taxes paid, the taxes
per mile, and the per cent of taxes to
gross and net earnings, of all the rail-
roads in Iowa. From this it may be
learned that the mileage in Iowa has
risen from Ash in 1880 to 1896 in 1901,
that the value as assessed has climb
ed from $24,O39,126 to s47,071,25
that the tax per mile, actually paid,
was 1929 in 1880, $157 in 1890, $167 in
1900, and will be s163 in 1901.
Taxes and Earnings.
However the most significant l>art
of the new tables shows the relation
ship between taxes actually paid and
the earnings and assessments. This
is figured out for all the companies
together and for each of the eight
main roads in Iowa separately, for a
period of ten years. The following
shows the per centage Of taxes paid
to gross earnings, net earnings and
assessment in twelveoyears on all the
| lines of Iowa. Efg
