1t had become known to certainty
that the farmers lnutuals thruout this
part of the state were getting ready to
form an association to protect them
selves against the aggressions and the
demands of the privately owned toll
lines making the connections with the
cities and towns of the state. These
companies are now regarded as es-
sential to the business of the toll lines.
They had given it out cold that II they
were not to be allowed to connect with
the big lines they would go into the
cities and towns themselves and make
their own connections The result was
that the various toll companies and
the city mutuals had to give way and
return to a more nearly mutual basis
for business. In nearly every county
of central Iowa the farm mutuals are
making connections with each other
and thus securing long distance lines
for themselves. This process of con-
solidation and cooperation is going
on to a wonderful extent at the present
time and it is working revolution
in the telephone business so that the
strictly mutual owners of the rural
lines are becoming masters of the sit
uation. There is distinct advantage
in their position In that their expenses
are very light and they are practically
not taxed at all. Under the new ar
rangement the Des Moines Mutual,
which is not strictly mutual. will be
controlled in part by five of the most
extensive toll line systems in the state,
and process of consolidation will go
on steadily with the prospect of this
company being the nucleus of one inn
mense mutual for all central and
southern Iowa, with thousands of miles
of lines and many phones.
A tax ferret decision by the Iowa SUI
preme court last week attracted much
less attention than 1t deserved. 1t was
an opinion written by Chief Justice
Bishop on q Story county case In which
the tax ferrets disclosed the possession
of property by deceased citizen which
was not taxed during his lifetime. Ac-
cordingly the county auditor assessed
against the estate taxes ana interest
for certain year amounting 10 over
$1,000. This year was back previous TO
five years before the time the ierrets
turned up the error The assessment
was made by the auditor because OF the
fact that by statute the treasurer is
limited in his tax ferret extraordinary
proceedings to five years. But there Is
no limit directly placed on the auditor,
who is allowed to make corrections In
regard to any tax lists. In this way. the
tax ferret business has been made TO
yield to the counties and states by the
operations of the ferrets. Not all coun-
ties have pursued the policy of permit
ting the county auditor to assess back
of the five year limit of the treasurer,
but some Of them have, and in this way

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 27-A telephone re-
organization process is going on here
in Des Moines at the present time
which will affect the telephone busi-
ness of nearly the entire state and
have an important bearing on the fu-
ture of the thousands of farmers lines
in central Iowa. The situation as 1t
has developed clearly indicates that the
tima has come for the farmers to vir-'
tually dictate the terms and conditions
on which toll line business shall be
done generally thruout the state. In
stead of the owners of the farm mutu-
ais which have switch boards in the
small. towns begging for the privilege
Of making connections with the big
companies it is now the big city COM
l,anies engaged in trying to figure out
how to make the best terms with the
farm mutuals. Some time ago the
Mutual, of this city, fell partly under
the control of the Hawkeye company,
with headquarters at Perry. and the
manager of the Hawkeye, Mr.. Bandy.
came to Des Moines to manage the
Mutual. He continued in charge about
six months during which time the debts
of the Mutual were heaped mountain
high. In the meantime the Hawkeye
was having trouble. 1t is a rural toll
line with an exchange in Perry and was
engaged In encouraging farm lines.
But the farmers mutuals were spring
ing up round-at Linden, Minburn,
Woodward, Rippey. Waukee, Grimes
and elsewhere. The farmers company
at Grimes was particularly aggressive.
1t made deal with a mutual COM
pany at Boone to get into Des Moines
over that company's line, and then
proceeded to build to Waukee and Adel.
The Hawkeye made an effort to close
out the aarmers mutuals operating in
its territory or to prevent them COM
ing into Des Moines. They came In
over the Boone lines and these ran
part of the way over the poles of the
Hawkeye The fight became so bitter
that events happened which resulted in
the indictment of Manager Bandy for
the cutting Of the Boone company's
wires. Finally 1t became a matter of
choice as between connections with the
farmers lines and with the Hawkeye
and the big Mutual in Des Moines cut
loose from the Hawkeye, Manager
Bandy was deposed, and six mutuals
outside Of Des Moines were allowed
on the directory board
of the Des Moines Mutual. These six
companies have lines extending over
thirty or forty counties of the state
and connections with many thousand
farmers phones.

NEGRO EDUCATOR
 BEING CRITICISED
BOOKER WASHINGTON'S INDUS TRIAL EDUCATION IDEAS CRIT IClSED BY THE PHILADELPHIA PRESBYTERY.

New York. September 22-Booker T. Washington and his methods have been criticised by the local Presbytery in it's weekly meeting, says a dispatch from Philadelphia. The question was brought up through the report of the Freedman s committee, of which the Rev. J. Calvin Meade is the chairman. The report gave credit 10 Washington's influence for the increase of interest in the board. It de- plored the animal trait in the negro. which is so prominent" and continued, Yet it is to be questioned whether we should not balance the brutal assault of womanhood with the subtle power of seduction. in which the white man of social standing is an adept"
 It urges the churches 10 rise "above prejudice and devote all energies towards dealing with the negro problem" and de- plored any mob violence.
 Immediately after the reading. pr. James A. Warden, superintendent of Sab bath schools missionary work, said Booker T. Washington in educating the negro.
 He is giving exaggerated importance 10 industrial education and spiritual and religious influences. Booker T. Washing ton was in a pulpit in this city recently and throughout his sermon spoke on horseshoeing and carpenterng, not once mentioning Christ l believe that the Pres bYtery should choose their own leaders for higher education of the negro.
 "I question whether the popularity of Booker T. Washington helps the freed men, but 1t does help Washington and the Tnskegee Institute"
