LOSES IN SHILOH CONTROVERSY.
Assistant Secretary of War oliver
Decides Case

Washington, Feb. 3.-ASsistant Sec
rotary Oliver of the war department
has decided the long pending contro-
versy between the Iowa state authori-
ties and the Shiloh military park COM
mission in regard to the inscriptions
proposed by the commission on the
regimental monuments of the Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth Iowa volunteers
on the battlefield of Shiloh. The state
authorities wanted the inscriptions
proposed by the park commission eX-
tended so as to show the hours dur
ing which tho two Iowa regiments
participated in the battle. Assistant
Secretary Oliver has sustained the
park commission against the proposed
amendments.
In a letter to the governor OF Iowa,
yesterday, he says that the elimina-
ton of the features of the inscrip-
lions in question is in the interest or
historical accuracy, and he adds that
this particular case has convinced
him of the wisdom of combining in
scriptions placed in the national mill
tary parks to the central facts of the
events they commemorate.
Des Moines, Feb. Sit is said the
Shiloh controversy will be carried to
the president. If it were necessary it
could be carried to the congress. 1t
is not at all unlikely that this will be
done. There are many complaints
against the national commission.

WALKER FOUND GUILTY.

Des Moines, Feb. John Walker
killed Isaac Finkelstein.
The jury, which has been hearing
the murder case for week returned
a verdict of guilty of manslaughter at
9 o'clock yesterday morning.
Finkelstein was prominent East
Side Jew, who earned the enmity of
the gamblers by his prosecutions of
them. He was killed about four years
ago. Harry Levich and John Walker
were arrested for the crime. Levich
was acquitted. Walker, at the former
trial, was found guilty and sentenced
to eight years in prison. The supreme
court reversed the case and granted a
new trial. The present trial was made
sensational by the refusal of Nellie
Wells, the sweetheart of Walker, 10
testify against him.

The Corporations Cry.
"In conclusion, we desire to answer
IN advance any objection that may be
prged by the officers and employees Of
he corporations now under considera.
tion. We expect that IL win be We
emently asserted throughout tho pub
ic press that this class of property,
Fiz.; Railroads, telegraph, telephone,
hnd express lines, are being unjustly
Created, and more highly assessed than
other property owners, and we shall
bear it stated that the stockholders in
these corporations infrequently re-
eeive any dividend, and then only Of a
small amount. Here and now we state
pa answer that cannot be controvert-
3D."
"The Interstate commerce commits
sion, in its last report, put the capital
ization Of all railroads in this eouu-
try on June 80, 1908, at twelve and
one-half billions. This includes stock,
common and preferred, and funded in
|debtedness. The commercial value Of
the same was found to be-only eleven
hnd one-fourth billions. The differ
enee between these amounts is a bill
lion and a quarter, and that only rep
fesents water. In every state except
Connecticut railroads are assessed for
Jess than their commercial value. Even
in Kansas, railroads are assessed less
lhan 10 per cent Of their commercial
value, while Iowa places an assess
nent at IS per cent, but in Illinois
fhe assessment is about "a per cent,
Pnd in Michigan 70 per cent.
Tax on Gross Earnings.
"Under the law Of Oregon as it now
fxists, all property is required to be
lssessed at its actual value. If this
sFere done, as the law clearly intends,
he ordinary taxpayer would not be re-
blurred, as he now is, to pay an undue
proportion of the public taxes. If all
he property were assessed as the Law
bow requires it should be, II goes
Fithout saying that the rate Of taxa
ion would be very small indeed, and
he development Of the state materi-
flly increased. We cannot have good
pads and bridges without paying for
hem. Other public utilities cannot be

papies' property. The reasons are OBJ
vious, but in the opinion Of the com
mittee, law providing for a mini
mum assessment at the figure above
stated, and also providing for small
percentage Of the gross earnings would
be fair and equitable and with all ex-
seedingly conservative towards the
owners Of such property.
"In the preparation Of this report
much time has been spent in investi-
eating the subject of taxation of cor
porate property and the law governing
the same. but we are happy to say in
conclusion that we feel confident a
simple law prescribing a minimum
rate of taxation per mile for railroad,

quiring that class Of property, and al
so express companies, 10 pay one-half

that il would afford relief to the tax.

Assessment Law Recommended.
CATER considering all tie features
Of the situation peculiar to this state,
your committee has come to the con-.
elusion that a new law should be en-
acted governing the assessment Of
what may be termed properties ex-
tending across the state or across one
or more counties. The committee has
not been able to secure all the data re-
quired to draft a bill in statutory Ian
guage, but it should embody the fol-
lowing provisions;
~. That railroads should be as
sessed at fixed rate per mile, based
upon earnings and population, the min
imum rate TO be uniform for the en-
tire length Of any one property, and
telegraph, telephone and express com
panies should be assessed upon their
gross earnings.
"2. This state shOuld follow the
custom OF other states in classifying
railroads as first, second, third, or
fourth class, with a corresponding val |
ustion fixed by law for each class, and
not subject to the sapries Of local as
sessment ofieialA
"3. First class railways should be
assessed their entire length at a min
mum value Of at least $4,000 per
