Probably OskaIoosa.
Ottumwa would like to have the
convention and would probably accom-
modate as many people as can Oska-
loosa, but it is very probable that when
the matter comes to vote Oskaloosa
will be chosen, as it is known that
there are several operators who pre-
fer that place, and who will join
forces with Secretary White, to take
the convention to that city. Abba is

q. j. Phillips of this city, prom.
inent member of the State Operators
association, when informed regarding
the quarantine by a Courier reporter
this morning, said he had heard moth
ing of it before and had no notification
of change in the place for the con-
ventioD. He said that he thought,
however, that inasmuch as Des Moines
cannot take the convention Oskaloosa
will be the second choice. That place
has entertained the convention before
and will doubtless be able to do so
again. Then, too, Ottumwa would not
be sighted because it is really Oska.
loosa's turn as that city has not had
the convention for three years.
Gets Appointment.
Mr.. Phillips has received his ap.
pointment from Governor Cummins as
one of the commission to investigate
mine explosions, IS provided. for by
the Kendall bill which passed the leg.
islature some time ago, and which has
been spoken of at length in the Cour.
Ter. Governor Cummins requested Mr..
Phillips to notify the other members
of the commission to meet atthe cap,

day, and this was done. However,
changes may be necessary if the quar-.
antine is not raised before Monday.

Democracy If the Pettigrews and
their kind prefer their fads to Dem

A REFORM SCHEME.

Tammany's extravaganza cost that
organization control of the city of New
York. The reformers promised lower
taxes and more economical admins
tration of the city's affairs. And the
reformers were given control.
The tax rate has been reduced a
fraction, but such a small fraction
that the reduction is scarcely appre-
ciated. But what troubles the tax
payers now is the proposition of the
reform administration to assess
real estate at it's actual mar
ket value. At present real estate
is assessed at about three fourths of
its market value. The argument is
advanced that under the present plan
some property is assessed at its full
value. some at three-fourths and some
at about half
But IL the proposed change were
made would not the inequality in as
sessment still exist? The assessors,
in order to get at three-fourths of the
value of piece of property, estimate
it's market value or find out from some
source in which they have confidence
its market value. In assessing prop
erty at its market value therefore no
progress would be made towards
equalization. 1t is just as easy for the
assessors to get at three-fourths of the
market value of a piece of property as
it is to get at its market value.
What the reform administration is
really after is this. 1t wants to in
crease the assessed valuation of the
real estate of the city so it can borrow
more money. The debt limit has been
reached. The constitution of the state
provides that cities can borrow an
amount equal to a certain per cent. of
the assessed valuation of their real
estate and no more. New York city
has reached that limit. But If the as
sessment of her real estate should be
| increased the limit would be extended,
and she could borrow many more mill
lions of dollars. 1t is nice scheme
for the reformers, but it does not APP
pear to have the approval of the tax
PAYERS
