THE COAIMITrEEs ACTION
PostpOnement Agreed To Before the
Amendments Were Considered.

Postponement Agreed To Before the
Amendments Were Considered.
The Jacobson tax bill got It's coup de
grace this morning, SO far as the senate
committee was concerned BY a vote of
to the committee voted to recommend
the bill for indefinite postponement
The majority did Its work with the
speed and precision of skilled execution
err There was no mangling Of the victim.
Five amendments were presented but
none was voted on. The majority had de-"
termined to kill the bill, and refused to
spend time on amendments. The vote
stood: ~.
For indefinite postponement: Senator'S
somsrville, Rovsrud. Collier, E. J. JONES' I'm
derleak. E. e. Smith, Daughsrty, Greer and
Stookwell.
Against indefinite postponement: McGill,
Grindeland. Snyder and Miller.
The vote was great surprise to friends
Of the bin in the senate. They had coun-
ted on Senators Somerville, Underleak
and Collier to support the bill when pro-
perry amended, but these senators refused
even to give consideration to the propo-
sitions for improvement.
The minority declared they would pre-
sent separate report, and make tight
on the floor. but they were much disheart-
ened. 80
1--WE are beaten to a finish, with those
u.s. said a friend Of the bill not on the
committee.
The st. Louis county delegation has evil
IDENTIFY Joined hands with opponents Of the
tax commission and the franchise tax.
Though the tonnage tax was sure to be
stricken off, Senator Daugherty did not
even press for a vote on that amendment.
He presented 1t as soon as the committee
got to work this morning. Senator Sny-
der then presented set of four amend
ments.
The first struck out the tonnage tax
sections.
The second changed the sections relat-
ing to assessments of corporations. The
word ascertain" WAS changed to "est1-
mate" so that the value Of stocks and
bonds, less real estate, is to be taken as
basis for estimating" the value of the
franchise. This would not make 1t binding
on the assessor to assess the franchise
at full value.
The third amendment changed the Sec
ton relating to re-assessments Of under
valued or omitted property, so that 1t
should not be retroactive.
The fourth gave the governor thirty
days instead OF ten in which to appoint
the tax commission.
Senator Stockwell then moved to rec
ommend indefinite postponement.
Chairman McGill suggested that the
committee at least to give some consid
Grafton to the amendments. He presented
one providing for one tax commi ssioner
instead of three.
Senator Stockwell insisted on his mo
ton, as being parliamentary and in order
The roll was called with the above re-
suit. Senator Smith said he believed the
bill would be improved with the amend
ments, but he would not be prepared tc
support it even in this form. Senator
Underleak said it was mere makeshift
After the meeting Senator Someryille
said: Il was ready to support the tax
code, but do not see the need of tax

franchise tax, that is already possible
under the decision of the supreme court.

New York, March 5.-There seems to be
disposition among financial interests
identified with the Northern Securities to
hold the Canadian Pacific railway respon-
sible for considerable measure of the
legal opposition shown the merger. This
does not mean that the Canadian Pacific

that legal talent friendly to that railroad

points against the merger, which others

Seeding PoPuLlsTs.
(Onalla Beef

Can fusion in Iowa survive the &C.
ton of the Iowa democratic convention
regulating the Kansas City platform ?
It appears not. The declaration of
General James B. Weaver foreshadows
the coming out of the populists for the
democracy with whom they have act
ed on the basis of the Chicago and
/ Kansas City platforms, particularly on
the free silver and other radical revo-
iutionary planks.
Iowa populists had built UP consid-
cradle party at one time under the
leadership of General Weaver. They
were really the successors of the old
greenback and fiatist party. which he
organized in 1876, and which later
elected him to congress, altogether
three terms. 1t was so strong as to
poll 10000 votes in Iowa when General
Weaver was the greenback candidate
for president in 1873, to carry three
congressional districts, which had pre-
viously been strongly republican.
With the subsistence of the fiatist
and greenback craze General Weaver
began patching up temporary fusion
arrangements with the democrats, in
The intervals of his engagements on
the lecture platform The democratic
revolution at Chicago in 1896 was a
veritable Godsend to him. He at once
appeared among the Iowa Bryanite
leaders. He turned over to them the
complete populist organization and led
the great mass of the party directly
into camp. In some populist quarters
there was some reluctance and pro-
test, but General Weaver was all pow
erful He went from county to coun-
ty proclaiming that the democratic
party under Organism had in fact
Joined the populists, and should be
welcr med, although he admitted that
he preferred paper dollar with 100
cents of fiat to silver dollar with on.
far that for eight years the populist
party has almost disappeared in Iowa
its membership having gone bodily ov.
er to the populized democracy
General Weaver was a conspicuous
mebmer of the late democratic state
convention, as he has been of all dem.
ocratic state conventions since 1896
He was vehement and even frantic in
his appeals not to turn down the Kan.
sas City platform, free silverism and
populism. He threatened the instant
secession of the populists and reorgan.
ization of their party. A strong array
of other spokesman backed him up
The convention nevertheless turned
down the Kansas City platform and
now there is a demand in populist
quarters to turn down the convention
General Weaver declares that he
stands where he stood before while
the populist press is calling loudly foi
reorganization. In short the Iowa
democrats have to face this situation
that when they cease to be populistie
the populists cease to be democratic.

not lose the control of the Des Moines
& Fort Dodge upon the expiration of
its present lease. In this connection
the statement is made authoritatively
that the Rock Island will have ascer-
tanned what is to be the future oil the
Des Moines & Fort Dodge road by the
time the 1903 building season opens
and that in the meantime survey will
also be made from point at or near
Royal up to the west shore of Okoboji
to Montgomery. No secret is made of
the fact that the Rock Island prefers
to extend the Ruthven line if 1t shall
develop that it is to remain in control
of it. There are two reasons for this
First, that it will be shorter road and
cheaper one to build and second,
that it will be more economical road
to operate as a continuation of the
Ruthven line while the Royal line
would have to be operated as branch
of the Sibley division.
The intention is to complete both
surveys so that as soon as the future
of the Des Moines & Fort Dodge is
settled work can be commenced at
once 1t is the expectation that with
favorable weather next spring this line
can be constructed in sixty days and
put in operation by the time the lake
season opens in June.
1t is stated on good authority but
uncficially that as soon as the sur
veys in the north part of the state are
completed the Rock Island will com
mence preliminary surveys on q line
from Gowrie into Des Moines. These
will be for the purpose of providing a
route over which to build in the event
the Rock Island is not to
continue in control OF the Des
Moines & Fort Dodge road. 1t is I'M
derstcod one survey will utilize the
Marehalltowp. Dakota & Northwestern
road from Gowrie to Frazier and thst
new line will be SURVEYED from that
roint info Boone and down the east
side Of the river to Des Moines. The
orher line will extend southwest from
+ Cnwrie To Des Moines on the west side
of the river and along the divide be
tween tho Des Moines & Fort Dodge
road and the river.
