ALLEGED COFFIN TRUST

virtually equal those of the Standard
Oil company.
The prices of collins, it is stated by
undertakers, have grown higher and
higher each year. The living are be-
ing literally pillaged through their
love for the dead, and funerals have
everywhere become exceedingly cost
ly. 1t is asserted among undertakers
that the growing popularity of incin-
Grafton is due, in large measure, to
the great expense of a regulation fun
eral. If incineration should become
cheaper the coffin trust would have a
dangerous rival.

out a statement to the captains of all
war ships in the north Atlantic squad

ship in the service, asking for sugges-

Bounty Law Is Scored.

lowa's new gopher bounty law came
IN Tor round scoring at the recent
convention OF the county supervisors
IN clinton. So strong Is the opposi.
ton OF the supervisors to the meas.
ure that their legislative committee
VIII recommend to the next general
assembly that II be repealed. The gen.
eral feeling seemed to be that the
county might as well pay the owners
or city property ror the rats they kill
on their premises as to pay a bounty
on dead gophers brought In from the
farms. Several counties have already
paid as much as 5000 In gopher boun.
ties and the supervisors think that
the cost or DISCRIMINATING the little
pests Will be greater than the damage
they can do. Most counties have
been paying the maximum bounty of
10 cents each but IL Is probable that
many OF them will reduce the price
to s cents.
The tax ferret law meets with the
general approval OF the supervisors
or the state. One man who raised
an objection. to the system brought
out host OF defenders of the ferrets
and 1t was clear that they are Civ.
ing general satisfaction.
The supervisors will also recon-.
mend to the next legislature that the
law providing for the eradication OF
noxious weeds be more stringent. 10
Will also be suggested that the pro-
visions for enforcing the law be
strengthened

Asters are generally in their prime
at this season and are exceedingly
pretty made into shower bouquets.
Their lasting qualities also commend
them for use at weddings. Late in the

choose her own favorite flower for her
bridal bouquet, thus making it individ-

Maneuver Cost Was Modest.

The war maneuvers, which at
tracted wide attention to Des Moines
recently, cost the state of Iowa not
to exceed $1,000 more than the regu-
lar annual stationary camp of the
National Guard.
Under the law and the practice in
Iowa for many years the guard. has
held an annual encampment. This
year the only additional expense to
the state on account of having ma
neuvers instead of the camp, was the
cost of camp site and the incidental
claims for damages, not amounting
to more than $1,000.

Lower Tax Levy.

Des Moines' taxes In the business
district will be reduced 2.3 mills to a
total OF 37.4 mills on the dollar next
year II the ordinance prepared by
City Solicitor Bremner and the com.
mittee on ways and means passes at
the special meeting of the city coun
Gil, called for Monday night. This re.
duction in the city taxes will be ac.
complished by the elimination OF the
library building tax and the shaving
of the park and judgment funds. The
big improvements, such as the $125,.
900 Locust street bridge, will be cared
for by the continuance of the special
funds. The reduction in taxes will
not In the least cripple the oity busl.
ness or curtail the working depart
ments. But, however, small the re.
duction 1t, II Is exceedingly welcome.
II will save the taxpayers about
$4,000. One mill in the tax levy
brings about $4,000.
