COMMITTEE is IN FAVOR.
Majority of Members are For Re-
dstrictinq.

Des Moines, Jan. 28.-A canvass of
the house committee on congressional
districts reveals the fact that ma
jority of the republican members are
favorable to redistricting. The COM
mittee consists of twenty-seven mem
bers, two republicans from each of
the congressional districts and five
democrats. The democrats are count
ed as favoring redlstricting. Adding
the five democratic members to the
majority of the republicans who are
in favor of redistricting the house COM
mittee will have a clean working ma
iority- in favor of new congressional
districts.
No meetings of the committee have
been held as yet on account Of the
fact that no biils tor redistricting have
been presented to the house. AS soon
as there is any work for the commit
tee to do a meeting will be called and
the opinions of the members learned.
The only fear expressed by those
who are radically in favor OF redls-
tricting is that while the house COM
mittee has a good working majority
favorable to the measure it may not
be possible to get the members to
unite on any certain plan, and If this
cannot be done redistricting may go
by default simply because it's friends
will be unable to get together on any
one project

RETAIN COAL RIGHTS.
State Fair Directors Decide Not to
Sell Them.


Dcs Moines, Jan. 29.-The commit
tee appointed to investigate concerning
the sale of the coal fields underlying the
state fair grounds reported at the meet
ing of the board OF agriculture against
the proposition. After summing up the
results of the investigation, they recon-
nended that no steps be taken to secure
LEGISLATION which will enable the board
to sell the vein While it is conceded
that there is a valuable deposit of coal,
it is not thought advisable to dispose OF
the same at the price it would command
ut present. A synopsis OF the report
follows.
First-We found that there is 3h
or 4-foot vein of coal.
Second-1t is from 100 to 200 feet be-
low the surface and the condition Of the
roof is such that mining is advisable
under the present buildings and fixtures
of the grounds.
Third-Thc usual price is from s2o to
500 per acre, including surface rights,
such as railroads, street cars, etc.
Fourth-Before an offer can be made
the land must be prospected.
Fifth-The land wouldn't bring snflic-
lent money to pay for the prospecting
1t will bring more money in the near
future than at present.
We therefore recommend that no steps
be taken to secure legislation to enable
the board to sell the coal underlying the
state fair grounds.

THE NEWS in IOWA
k,LL THE FERRET LAW.
Senator HeaIy Proposes Measure TO
That Effect.

That Effect.
Des Moines. Jan. Ex-senator Healy
mas introduced q bill to abolish tax
ferret collection Of taxes. 1t provides
that no action for the recovery OF
taxes on omitted personal properly
can be begun unless brought WITHIN
the year In which the property snould
be assessed This not only Kills the
tax ferret proposition, but 1t prevents
the county treasurer from listing omit
ted. personal property except IN the
wear when the assessor shoulo nave
listed it. II it shall be discovered on
January that a half million dollars
of moneys and credits have been omit
ted from the assessment or the pre-
yious year no action can be Degun uh.
der this law to recover taxes on ina.
property. Senator Healy regards the
tax ferret law as extremely vicious.
He SAYS that it has resulted In "lde-
spread wrong and injustice; not only
that but the poorer class or people,
as a rule, have been the victims OF
the ferrets. He believes that the cases
in which rich men have been com
PEELED to pay taxes on omitted prop
ertv are extremely rare. Under the
judicial construction of the present
law property omitted during five years
may be newly listed and assessed anu
taxes on it collected. BY his measure
this limit is cut off and unless the
property is discovered in the year IN
which it ought to be assessed no &C
ton to recover taxes on it can De De-
gun.
Something of controversy arose
in the senate upon the Introduction or
the bill as to whether it should go to
the committee on judiciary or the com
mittee on ways and means. Senator
Healy, chairman of the judiciary com
mittee. who introduced the bill, re-
uuested that it go to his committee:
while Senator Junkin, chairman OF
ways and means. thought it should go
to the tax committee. The BIZ went
to the judiciary commi~.ee.

RIPLEY HAS A FIRE
Loss of $4,000 Sustained by Mer
chants in That Town.

Rippey, Jan. 29.-Fire originating in
the basement of the Rippey Mercantile
Company at l o'clock a. M. destroyed
nearly $4,000 worth of property. Four
brick buildings were burned to the
ground and several others more or less
damaged.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from the explosion of lamp OR an oil
stove in the basement of the Rippey
store where it is known they kept them
burning to protect some vegetables from
the cold.
Mrs. Loveioy, who with her husband
and children, occupy rooming quarters
over Bullock & Cramer's store, was the
first to discover the flames, which were
then bursting from the basement.
2. NJ. Osborne's drug store across the
street from the Rippey block was in i'm
minent danger at one time. The entire
plate glass front was mashed in and the
Notwithstanding burned from the frame
work on one side. The Rippey hotel
farther down the street from the Os-
borne drug store caught at an early
hour, but quick, snappy work on the
part of the fire department saved this
budding. 1t is owned by the Charles
kahler estate, of Des Moincs and is fully
covered by insurance. A barber shop al
so belonging To Z, r.. Hs6dcc<e was s(vgAe-
