Not only was President Roosevelt and his

cordial and emphatic terms by the Iowa

ASSOCIATION at its meeting Thursday morn
ing, but the president was lauded as an

view of securing their endorsement of and
cooperation with the president in his fight
for better railroad conditions.
The Resolutions committee presented
several resolutions which were adopted,
the balance Of the forenoon being spent in
discussion of the several subjects of vital
interest to the members Of the association.
A resolution was adopted condemning the
practice of some of the harvester compan-

intent to deceive and 1t was the vote of
the convention that the convention denounce
such transactions as not OF a legitimate

According TO one who should be well

THE railroads are going after the new
charter" said this man, about January l.
Under the charter, power is given the
taxing authority to tax the railroad
terminals locally, and this is the section
the railroads want knocked out.
But should this come to pass and a
portion of the charter be declared void, Il
will in no way, affect the next city cleo
ton under the charter. providing the cleo
ton sections are all right The supreme
court has just held that where a section
is not an inducement to the passage of ar
act It can be held invalid and the act al

CounciImen at Par.

Dropping into politics, he said
TT was agreed among leaders in the
party last winter when the new charter
was under discussion and that section
providing for an increase in the pay of
councilmen was put in, Omaha would get
an entire new deal in so far as council
men are concerned. With $500 salary
1t was agreed Omaha should have $500
councilmen. I wonder II the republican
party will carry out the agreement Of the
leaders and secure $3.50 men as candi-
dates?'
The charter is liable to get another jolt
over the time taxes become due. As
sistant County Herdman has held that the
city taxes will become due May 1, as
formerly while other authorities say De-
cember will be the time, as the general
revenue law will prevail in this case, as
the county and the city taxing Offices
have been merged.
