TEST SCOPE OF LAW
Several Similar Actions Now Pending,
Will be Affected by Decision in Case
Of Hogan oures, Of Council Bluffs
Re.ists Payment Of About $500 in

special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Oct. Slogan Our
en- is resisting payment of about $500
in taxes to the county treasurer. His
action is based on the claim that a
s$20, 900 mortgage which he held lin 1897,
1888 and 1899 represented no value to
himself, and that it was intended as
means to insure the equitable division
of his property among his children.
The case is one which will test the
scope Of the tax ferret law. If the
county wins. it will be enabled to col
lect several thousand dollars in taxes,
whose validity is disputed.
In his cross petition, Ouren declares
that he has been for many years a
resident of Pottawattamie county and
in his declining years has retired from
the pursuit of wealth, after investing
the earnings of a lifetime in farm
lands, on which the rentals brought
his living expenses. Ten years ago
his concern for the welfare of his off
spring led him, he states, to convey
large tracts Of land to F. w. and Alex
ander Ouren, two of his sons, for which
he received in return notes for $4,000,
secured by the mortgage. He says
these instruments were executed on the
that he was not to re-
ceive any proceeds, but that the amount
was to be divided among his children
after his death.

Clinton, Iowa, Oct. 5.---A handsome
train brought a party of seventy-fve
New York and Pennsylvania gentle
men to Clinton last night over the
Northwestern, reaching the city short
ly before six o'clock. The party came
direct from Philadelphia, over the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
lines, and remained here during the
night and today The mission of the
party of eastern capitalists is declared
by julius christensen, of Philadel
phia, who is in charge, to be merely
one of pleasure and sightseeing, and to
have no local significance. Whether
there is anything back of the visit is
a matter of much conjecture, the pre-
vailing opinion being that there is.
Immediately upon the arrival Of the
train in Clinton, the party left the
cars, and boarded cars on the Clinton
street railway for trolley ride
through the city. Dinner was served
at 8 o'clock, and the members of the
party spent the night in the cars,
leaving today for a trip over the Iowa
and Illinois interurban for Davenport
and Rock Island. The train is made
up of five sleeping cars, a baggage car
and diner.
Many are of the opinion that the
visit of the eastern capitalists has to
do with the projected interurban
roads in this vicinity.

and just as plainly now. He then pro-
tested against the ukase which the
railroads had put forth through Blythe

be pounded into the earth, and this
protest applies as well today on 'be-
half of the people of Iowa as ever 1T

dress, will paint a picture of conditions
in Wisconsin which will seem start
lingly familiar to Iowa people.
Against Lobbying.
Lobbying is going to have set back
in the coming session of the iegislat ure
unless all signs fails
During the last three, sessions of the
legislature there has been movement
in favor Of excluding lobbyists from
committee and cloak rooms, except
upon invitation to address committees
before whom measures were pending.
But the committee on rules of the
senate, which has pressed this most
persistently, has not been adequately
supported heretofore. There is a prob
ability that in the session beginning in
January the rule will gain sufficient
support to become effective, and the
spectacle of lobbyists, known to be in
the employ of corporations for money,
sitting in the cloak rooms and sum-
moning members to them and issuing
orders to members. will never again
disgrace the Iowa legislative halls.
A skilled lobbyist, sitting in a cloak
room, using the legislative pages for
messengers, Is able to control legisla-
ton by sending notes and directions
to members of the assembly in their
seats, as effectively as If he were the
legislature itself. 1t has been done in
the halls of the legislatures of some
states There are signs that Iowa will
not put up with it. The lobbyists
days are ended in the Iowa capitol.
The primary law, the anti-pass law,
the 2-cent family mileage bill, the
anti-lobbyist movement, the pure food
law. are some of the progressive meas
ures which stand show of success
in the coming legislative session at
Des Moines.

Davenport City Physician Called Upon
to Assist in Its determination.

Davenport, Oct. 5.-The board of
health has recommended that City
Physician Speers take up the diphther-
ia epidemic at the Orphans Home with
the president of the state board of
health, DR.. Matthey The matter was
brought before the board of health
meeting by Mayor Harry Phillips, after
the report of the city physician had
been read, showing that there had been
thirteen cases of diphtheria in the
Sixth ward, the most of them at the
Orphans Home.
The action was not taken because
it was thought that the state board
and the superintendent was not doing
all in its power to eradicate the dis
ease, but because it was thought the
city physician might be able to aid
in it's determination.
The diphtheria epidemic seems to
be prevalent not only at the Orphans
Home, but thruout the city, and the
board thought that the disease could
he easier exterminated if the work
was taken up in all parts of the city at
the same time.

A. w. Wander Veer president of the

supplying the city lights, of robbing
the taxpayers of $1,000 every year
with which to buy street car lines and
establish public parks for the benefit
of their moneyed interests. A report
Of the city light committee, appointed

of the gas and light company, is ex-
pected to show that the city is being
