I Des MOines Letter
Items Of Interest from Our Correspondent
at the State Capital

his argument that he had been ad,
vised the council had already decided
70 increase the railroad assessments
this year IN advance Of the hearing.
The members Of the council said
the statement was quite unfair, as
the council had not conferred on the
matter nor suggested any rate OF as
sessment.
"The rumor possibly arises from the
TACT that we have been damned all
over the state the last four months
because we have not raised the rail-
road assessment more the last four
years." added Governor Cummins with
much warmth.
Governor Cummins wound up the
iisavowal Of predetermination to raise
the railroad assessments by remark
ing: II had thought 1t wise that
some Of the people who have persist
our duty In raising railroad assess
ments ought to appear here and make
good"
Woodbury. Leads In Corn Acreage.
II acreage is any criterion from
which to judge, Woodbury. county will
be the banner corn county Of the
state this fall. Figures submitted by
]. r. Sage of the Iowa crop bureau
show that Woodbury. county has 49,
100 acres Of farm land planted In
corn This is considerably more than
any other county can show, although
Plymouth, the county adjoining Wood.
bury on the north, Is in second place
with an acreage Of 170,110. Then
comes Sioux with 150,320.
Kussuth county Is far in the lead in
oats, acreage with 12O,280, some 10000
less acreage than Woodbury. county
In the oats list with 80,120 acres.
A comparison Of the tables submit
ted by the crop department shows
some interesting facts. For instance,
the champion potato county Of the
state is Pottawatamie, with 2,150
acres planted in tubers. With the
largest number Of acres, under the
same conoltions, 1t is reasonable to
suppose that Pottawatamie will fur
nish more potatoes this fall than any
| other county in the state. Here are
some more crops and leaders:
Winter wheat-Lee county; acreage
| 1850.
Spring wheat-Plymouth county,
| 5o,15O acres.
| Rye-Lee county, 1850 acres.
Barley-Lyon county, 1920 acres.
Tame hay-Wayne county, 70,140
acres.
wild hay-Kossuth county, 1880
acres.
Taxation Of lnterurbans.
The supreme court has handed down
an opinion OF vital importance on the
assessment and taxation of street
railways and interurban properties.
1t holds that where street railways
| and interurbans are owned by the
same corporation and operated Jointly
the whole property Of the company
must be assessed by the executive
countil as an interurban railway.
The case In which the opinion ID
delivered b that Of the Waterloo &
4 Cedar Falls Rapid Transit company,
appellant, against the board Of super.
visors Of Black Hawk county. The
executive council assessed the inter
urban property, and so certified to
the board Of supervisors. The com
panies sought to enjoin the board
from collecting taxes on the assess.
ment. It maintained that such Of its
property as lay within the corporate
limits Of Waterloo and Cedar Falls
was a street railway system and not
subject to assessment by the execu-
tive council.

New York, July 2l.-The Stand
ard Oil executed one of its character.
istic coups in its nomination of can
didates for trustees Of the Mutual

CONSERVATION into the camp of the

judge George +. Gray, Benjamin f.

seeking to oust the present manage
meni
The audacity of this move NAV be
further appreciated when it is known
that none of the opposing leaders
who were nominated was consulted,
and that, under TIE law. the nomina-
tions are absolutely irrevocable. If
any of the four decline to reverse
their positions and refuse to join the
crowd they have been fighting. the
Standard Oil ticket will be blank so
far as their places are concerned.
and the opposition to the policy hold
ers will select its men by default.
The ticket which Mr.. Rogers so
heartily indorses contains the names
Of twelve men who were not on the
McCurdy board and twenty-four who
were. President Peabody announced
that he would net seek reelection as
president, athoug'l he did not say
