Want Change In Law.

The county treasurers of Iowa meet In
annual convention in Des Moines tomorrow,
One subject which is to come before them
is a proposed change in the law relating
to tax ferrets so that the work Of passing
on the ferret cases which are coming up
every week shall be in the hands OF the
county auditors instead of the county treas
urers The treasurers claim that the audi
tors are better fitted TO judge Of the merits
Of the cases than the treasurers for they
keep the accounts in regard to assessments.
The tax ferret law has imposed a great deal
OF extra work on the treasurers. The ferret
system is now in use in majority Of the
counties OF the state and is causing much
trouble. although it is resulting in the
payment OF large sums TO the counties and
the state on property which has hitherto
been hid from the assessors.
