Reformatory Bill Passes House.

After amending the state reforma-
tory and indeterminate sentence bill
SO that it is not satisfactory, to
either the friends of the measure nor
those who opposed it in it's original
form, the house passed it with but
one dissenting vote.
Under the compromise agreement
the bill was presented to the house
with the provision that any man SEN
fenced TO the state prison after July
4 of this year, who. at the time of
commitment, is between the ages Of
16 and 80 years, and who has never
before been convicted of felony,
shall be confined in the reformatory,
provided, however,s that persons con-
victed of rape. sodomy, incest and
similar crimes, for which a life SEN
tence is given, cannot be sent to the
reformatory, but must be sent to the
prison at Fort Madison.
Under the Paul amendment, these
persons, whether they be over 80
years of age or not may be sent to
the court.
1t is pointed out that the real OBJ
ject of this clause in the bill was to
prevent lenient judges from allowing
persons convicted of such heinous
crimes, no matter at what age, to go
to the reformatory, while persons
convicted of lesser crimes and being
under the age of 80 years, might go
to Anamosa for an opportunity to re.

May Tax Franchises.

DGS MOlueS.-AICer uSHI eSleul-
ing over most of the day the senate
passed bill levying a corporation
franchise tax and requiring annual
reports from corporations doing Ipusi-
ness in this state.
This bill, of which Senator Ericsson
was the author, was the subject of
debate one other day when it was
recommitted to the judiciary commit
tee which, presently, reported sub
stitute eliminating the tax feature
and leaving in the bill only the pro-
vision requiring an annual report.
1t was on this substitute that the
issue was finally joined. 1t was de-
feated and all amendments tending to
weaken the measure, except that cor
porations having less than $4,000
capital are exempted from the pay
ment of the tax.
The bill received hare constitu.
tional majority of twenty-six votes.
The bill requires all corporations
with more than $4,000 capital doing
business in Iowa to pay an annual
license fee to the state treasury.
This fee is fixed at $40 on capital
of $4,000 to s1oO,oOO; SIS on capital
of 100000 to 100000; $40 on CAPT
tai of $5O0,OOO to $1,OOO,OOO, and s25
on capital over s1,000,000. 1t requires
| sworn report to be made annually
| by each corporation, showing name,
location, capital. stock authorized,
stock issued, value, names and post
Office of officers and directors. If the
report is not made and the fee not
paid within sixty days the secretary
may revoke the certificate and per-
NIT of the corporation, provided he
may reinstate them upon payment of
the tax and expenses of collection and
making it's report as required.

means committee of the senate bill
providing for the taxation of direct
inheritances, prepared by Senate.
Gillilland at the request of special
committee composed of Senators
Smith of Mitchell, Saunders. Dun.
ham, Maytag, Gillilland and Lambert
was placed on the calendar.
Its provisions are as follows:
Section 1467-F. Where the share
of the inheritance falling to the
father, mother, husband, wife, lineal
descendant, adopted child or the
lineal descendant of an adopted child
of decedent, after the payment of all
debts, exceeds the sum of $4,000,
such excess shall be subject to a tax
as follows:
"on the first $4,000 or fraction
thereof, per centum.
"On the second $4,000 or fraction
thereof, per centum.
con the thifd $4,000 or fraction
thereof, per centum.
"On the fourth $4,000 or fraction
thereof, per centum.
"And on any sum or interest be
yond such fourth $4,000, S per cen
tum.
| Provided, however, that to the
surviving spouse there shall be ex
empt the full net one-third of the
estate, however large"
There is no way in which the
revenue from this law can be est
mated until it has been in operation
The method and machinery of col
lection of the collateral inheritance

ure, by provision inserted as sec
ton 2 of the bill.

CROP PROSPECTS.


Every Day.
CINCINNATI. O., August 24.-The re-
ports concerning crop conditions for
the week, says the Cincinnati Price
Current reflect but little of unfavor-
ableness In weather conditions. There
has been more rain than was desired
in some localities which has continued
to retard threshing operations and Is
likely to cause some deterioration In
quality of grain In stack and shock.
The rains, however, were good for
the growing corn. which appears to be
making excellent progress for the most
part. and as the seasonal developments
of this crop come to light a more en-
ceuraging outlook seems to be brought
to view each week. THERE'S some ir-
regularity to be noted, and here and
there the promise Is not for good re-
suits, but on the whole the, growth
and development Of the plant Is quite
satisfactory. The lateness Of the
planting has to some extent beer
overcome. but prolonged period this
fall without frost is the feature to bt
desired.
