Means Attack On Rate Laws.

The declaration of F. O. Melcher,
general manager of the Rock Island
railroad system, in his address at the
Iowa Grain Dealers association ban
, Ouat that the power to regulate rail-
ways should be vested solely in the
federal governments and not divided
with the state government as at pre-
sent caused much comment in DeS
Moines. 1t was generally taken as q
forecast Of the future policy of the
railroads and would mean much litiga-
ton by the corporations to wrest the
power from the states and have pre-
sent state railroad laws declared un-
constitutional
1t is not believed that the railroads
will attack any Iowa legislation Of
this score at present but will concen-
trate their efforts in Missouri, where
they now have case pending to de-
termine whether the state or federal
| courts have jurisdiction over the 2
cent passenger rate law
The railroads brought the action in
the federal courts instead of the state
courts because they claimed that the
2-cent rate in Missouri would affect
the interstate rate.
Attorney General Hadley of Mis-
souri, contended otherwise, but Judge
Mcpherson ruled against him and Mr..
Hadley has appealed to the United
States supreme court. If Mr. Hadley
should lose, it will be one of the first
steps in a likely programme to have
all state laws contested in the federal
courts

Railroad Tax Hearing.

Railroad Tax Hearing.
On the suggestion OF Governor
Cummins the railroad representa-
tives, present at the tax hearing be-
fore the executive council, discussed
at some extent the theory advanced
by President Roosevelt at Indianapo-
lis May 80, that the roads are worth
the face of their securities.
The governor believed that they
were much overcapitalized and asked
the tax experts and attorneys to de-
vote some attention to a discussion
of the subject. This was done by
James G.. Davis, for the Northwestern,
and others.
1t was disclosed that the railroad
view of this proposition contemplates
the reduction of the $4,000, 100000 of
capitalization by about $4,000, 100000
of so-called Implications, which would
make the average value about $58,000
mile for the whole country. 1t is
contended by others, however, that
the Implications are not, in fact, so
large as claimed The iowa value
is below the average in the nation it
is claimed by the railroads. They are
assessed at about $4,000 mile In
Iowa. The council estimates this to
be so per cent of their actual value
heretofore.
Judge Walter I. Smith, congress
man from the Ninth district. appeared
before the executive council to pro-
test against the reduction of the as
sessment of the Union Pacific railroad
in the city of Council Bluffs.
Before appearing however, the at
torney for the Union Pacifc-A. W.
Scribner and George S. Wright-and
the committee from Council Bluffs got
together and agreed that the assess
ment should not be disturbed.
Whereupon Mr.. Scribner informed
the executive council that the under
standing had been reached and in
view Of the fact that the people Of
the Bluffs had agreed to ask for no
increase, he would withdraw his ap-
peal of the day preceding for a de-
crease in the assessment.
For the council the governor stated
it could not undertake in advance to
agfoe to abide by the settlement Of
disputes between railroads and tax
ing bodies as to assessment, but
would have to undertake to value the
roads properties for itself. He said
that the council would accept the
statement of the attorney for the
Union Pacific withdrawing his re-
quest for reduction but could not say
that it would abide by the concession
of the people of Council Bluffs not to
ask for an increase In viewing the
property the council may decide to
! increase the assessment, irrespective
of what the committee represented
by Judge Smith might have conceded

Mrs. Ruth NJ. Wallihan Morse of
Des Moines was before United States

ment returned in United States court

spiracy to defraud the government

bonds in the sum of $4,000 to return
to Colorado for trial. The indictment
charges Mrs. Morse of conspiring with
a number of other persons. several OF

Many Errors Alleged.

Many Errors Alleged.
Fifty errors in the ruling of Judge
Smith Mcpherson in the case of the
Des Moines City Railway company VS..
the city of Des Moines are alleged in
an assignment of errors which, to-
gether with petition to have the
case carried to the supreme court of
the United States, was filed in the
United States circuit court. The pa
pers were prepared by w. H. Brem
ner, Howard j. Clark and w. H.
Baily, solicitors for the city. They
assert that the DEGREES entered on
March 22 and March 30. 1907, were
erroneous and unjust to the city.

BITTER FEUD CROWS OUT
Of RECENT |NUNDATDNs
Sacramento Valley Farmers
Take Up Arms Against
Dredge Miners
SPECIAL DIsrAroH TO THE CALL

! SACRAMENTO, April 15.-Between
the people of the mountains and valleys
| OF this section the bitterest and most
! far-reaching warfare in the history Of
! the State is threatened.
From all of the towns along the
| Feather and Sacramento rivers comes a
cry of protest against the continuation
of the dredge mining, which is alleged
to be filing up the channels OF the
Feather and Sacramento rivers faster,
and causing far more damage than ever
recorded in the history of the old-time
mining methods.
The recent foods in this section
caused millions of dollars of damage
and thoroughly aroused the people. The
dredges are generally located along the
fertile banks Of small streams and,
though the miners have promised to
control the refuse. silt and sand. it is
declared that they do not do so. but
allow it to escape into the creeks and
rivers with the result that for the past
nine years the channels of the streams
have grown shallower and the dangers
from nOo0S greater.
| There is not a city. town or Ievee
district along the Sacramento and
Feather rivers from Oroville to Rio
Vista on the lower Sacramento. that is
not planning to place heavy taxes upon
it's citizens this year to build up the
levees. Even Marysville. which has the
reputation of being the best leveed city
in the country, is planning to spend a
vast sum to strengthen it's barriers
Sacramento and Oroville are also to
call for big sums to build new and
| higher 1evees-
The people have planned an organized
effort to either force the dredger mines
to retain their debris or to cease op-
erations altogether.
