METHODS OF TAXATION.
Supreme Court Refuses to Allow De.
duetions to be Made.

Dss Moines, Oct. 1.-THE Iowa su;
preme court refused to accept The
conclusions Of Judge Smyth Of Bur.
lington, in the matter Of allowing
banks to deduct from their capital
stock the United States bonds held as
a part of the capital stock before
assessment is made for taxation pur-
poses. The German American bank at
Burlington had protested against the
action OF the board of review in de.
clining to deduct 100000 in bonds
from the assets of the bank as not
taxable before making the assessment.
The plan of assessing was to assess
the entire shares of stock to the bank
as a whole. Judge Smyth ordered the
deduction, but the supreme court to
day declared this was all wrong and
the town council was correct. This
method of assessing and taxing" said
the court IN the opinion prepared by
Judge Sherwin, the shares of stock of
banks was undoubtedly adopted for
convenience and for the purpose of
reaching valuable property which
might otherwise escape its just share
Of public burdens and does not in our
judgment compel payment of the tax
by those who do not own the proper
ty." AS the shares of stock are tax
ed to the bank as a whole the court
says is VS. improper to deduct the
value of the government bonds there
from in arriving at their value.

PROSPECT OF EPIDEMIC.
Number Of Smallpox Cases In Iowa
Greater Than Last October.

STcateT IMAM Last SStope's
Des Moines, Oct. 1S.-There are
symptoms that Iowa will be troubled
this winter by another epidemic OF
smallpox. The number OF cases re-
ported to the state board Of health is
increasing rapidly as the fall season
advances. DIR. ]. F. Kennedy of the
state board of health pointed out yes
terday that the number OF cases re-
ported thus far in October was greater
than the number reported the entire
month of September. II Is felt at the
office of the board that timely precau.
lions against the disease should be
taken In all communities and thus II
possible prevent a repetition OF the
experience of last season.
Des Moines so far as known is free
from smallpox entirely. Since October
/ eight cases have been reported from
Iowa City. Other parts of the state
from which cases have been reported
since October l are Buchanan county,
Dubuque county, Almond. Melvin, Clin-
ton, Mt. Hamil. Fairbanks and Bona
parte. One case is also reported from
johnson county outside Of Iowa City.
Reports to the board indicate there
is much scarlet fever and typhoid in
the state. Ottumwa is having ser.
ious visitation of typhoid just now,
there being twenty cases reported to
the state board of health. Reports to
the board indicate considerable scarlet
fever in Des Moines.

tension was abandoned. The North

shape by the construction Of stone
bridge abutments and 1t is generally
understood that an extension north
west from Alden will be made next

MINERS TO DECIDE.
Call For Delegate Convention to Enc
the Strike.

the Strike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE
executive boards of the three anthra;
cite districts of the United Mine
Workers of America in joint session
yesterday unanimously decided to
recommend to a delegate convention
of striking miners the /. cceptance of
the arbitration proposition submitted
by the president of the United States
and are reasonably certain that 1t will
be followed and the struggle brought
to q close
The convention VIII be convened In
this city Monday morning and 1t Ia
the hope and the belief of the officeJe
Of the union that the mining of coal
will be resumed before the close Of
next week, after a suspension Of more
than Ave months.
The citizens of the entire region are
much elated that the strike is almost
over, because business in the coal
regions has been practically paralyzed
since the strike began.
From the time the news was receiv-
ed until about 10 o'clock yesterday
morning there was some doubt as to
how the miners would receive the
modified plan. President Mitchell
was asked to make some expression
on the proposition, but he steadfastly
refused. He was pressed by the cor
respondents for statement and finally
at 10 o'clock he cleared up the situa-
ton by issuing the following bulletin:
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 16.-Appreci-
ating the anxiety and impatience of
the public and the mine workers for
some authoritative statement from this
Office, issue this bulletin to say that
| was unalterably opposed to the &C.
ceptance of or acquiescence in the
form of settlement proposed by the
coal operators because 1t restricted the
president of the United States in max
ing selection of the men who were to
determine the questions involved in
the coal strike. These restrictions
having been removed, and representa-
ton given to organized labor as well
as to organized capital l am now pre-
pared to give my personal approval
to a settlement of he issues involved
In this strike by the commission Sc
lected by the president. and shall rec
ommend to the executive officers OF
districts Nos. !, z and 3, in their meet
ing today, that an immediate call be
issued for a convention, whose au-
thorization is necessary TO Ceclare the
strike at an end.
''In the meantime, | trust that the
people of our country will be as pa
tient as possible. as we are moving as
rapidly as the interest Of our people
will permit.-John Mitchell, President
United Mine Workers OF America"
When this was read to the arriving
district leaders and groups of miners
who came to headquarters to learn
the news. general satisfaction was ex-
pressed that Mr.. Mitchell was willing
to accept the modified plan, and from
that time on there was no doubt that
the strike would be brought to
speedy close.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
the seven members of the district
boards were called into session, and
after full discussion of the objection
able part a unanimous vote was taken
to recommend to the convention the
acceptance of the plan. This confer
ence was held behind closed doors and
bond OF secrecy placed on every
man present.
