DEMOCRATIC WAR IN HARDIN.
HostiIities May Be Taken to State
Convention for Adjustment.
Speciai to Times Repuplican

Iowa Falls, March 6.-The develop
ments of the past few days indicate
that there is merry war on in the
democratic party In Hardin county, and
that the hostllties Of the warning
factions will be carried into the state
convention for adjustment Attempts
to lift the scalps of the rival factions
are said to have precipitated the trou-
BILE, while it is thought by some that
back of it all is the old Bryan and
anti-Bryan controversy. Jerome d.
Steere. of this city, was the chair
man of the last democratic convention.
and it is said the duty devolves on
him to issue the call for the conven-
ton to select delegates to the demo-
cratic conventions at Cedar Rapids and
Sioux City. But Mr. Steere is down
in New Mexico. proving up a claim,
and so could not act in an official ca
pacity. DR. c. G. Gethman. one Of
the warriors in the democratic camp,
took it upon himself to issue a call
for the convention to be held at Ell
dora this Week. When this call was
issued, August Neuman the secretary
OF the committee. took 1t upon himself
to call together the committeeman from
the various townships to consider and
appoint a date for the convention. Mr..
Neuman took the position that the
chairman not being here to act. the
selection of the date for the conven-
ton devolved on the county central
committee. This raises a question as
to the legality of the convention called
by Getman and OF the official acts of
that convention which was held Tues
day. If Gethman acted without au-
thority, as some of his party claim,
then the acts of the convention of this
week are null and void. and the coun-
ty central committee will have to Sc
lect a date and call another conven-
ton. 1t is intimated that there Is
method in the madness of some of the
leading members of the party. and that
an ultimate object of the convention
called is to select a delegation that
will knock out c. w. Miller. of Wav-
erly who is now chairman of the state
organization.

Burlington, March g. The most
crus hng defeat administered to j. w.
Blythe, the head of the standpat
forces in Iowa, was given him in the
caucuses of the city Of Burlington, held
last night. The Blythe ticket was de-
feated in five of the seven wards, and
the progressives for the first time have
"a chance to control Scott county, only
four delegates from the country pre-
cincts being required.
Blythe, leader of the standpat forces,
and w. w. Copeland, leader of the pro-
gressives, met in a clean cut contest,
Both sides eXerted every energy, and
the victory for the progressives Is de-
cisive. 1t is the first time in history
that Burlington, the seat of the reser-
walton and the home of j. w. Blythe,
has slipped from his control.
Not only did the progressives carry

date for district delegate, and he was
defeated, his own ward, the Third, go

remaining wards that We're controlled
by the. standpatters Endorsed Senator
Allison for reelection to the senate.
The five progressive wards also in
dorsed Warren Garst for governor.

The progressives have to secure only
four delegates from the country pre-
cncts to carry Des Moines county for

IOWA FALLS CAUCUS TONIGHT
Two Candidates for School Treasure,
Municipal Politics.

Spec1aI to 1meS-RepNoilean.
Iowa Falls, March 6.-The local po-
litical pot begins to boil tonight. when
a caucus will be held to nominate
school directors and school treasurer.
But little interest seems to be mani
tested in the directors, but it is evil
dent there will be in the treasurer
ship, for which two candidates have
been announced, C. II. Burlinganne and
r. c. Kennedy.
The coming week will develop some
interest in municipal politics, as the
ward caucuses are to be held the 10th.
Four councilmen retire this year, Bur-
lingame of the First, Wright in the
Second, Carpenter in the. third and
Darlington in the Fourth. Mr.. OAR
lington has stated he will not seek
reelection and A. H. Adams is an
nounced as candidate to succeed him.
Mr.. Adams has been prominent in
politics in the Fourth ward for years
and has strong following. Mayor
Bryson, Treasurer Peet, Assessor Fitz-
gerald will probably have no OPPOSE
ton to nomination. The present city
solicitor having announced his in
tention of locating on the Pacific coast
will leave a vacancy in this office that
will have to be filled.

Reports OF Express Companies

INTERESTS IN CAPITAL STOCK
Companies Own Much Property in
Other States - Reports Will Aid
Railway Commission in Arriving at
Adjustment of Rates-somo Con-
Germs Not incorporated.
Specin1 TO Times Republican.

Des Moines, March 6.-Reports from
the express companies doing business
in Iowa filed with the executive coun-
oil are to be the basis of the assess
ment of the companies by the councii
in July, but in view Of the search of
the railroad commission for informa-
concerns. and in view of the demand
by the shippers that express rates be
materially reduced, the reports possess
Widespread interest
Especially is this the case since in
the inquiries made by the council of
the companies this year much addi-
tional information was called for This
related to gross earnings. The original
Jaw relating to assessment and taxa
ticn of express companies contained no
requirement for reports as to earnings.
nol did the amendment to the assess
ment law passed by the last assem-
bly,. but the council requested reports
covering that item. in general, and 1t
has been furnished.
The reports disclose the fact that the
express companies have Very little
property in Iowa. None of them re-
ports to exceed $4,000 worth of prop
erty in the state. They own enormous
plants. however. and have large build
irgs and millions invested in stocks
arc bonds. Their assets are reported
to the council and run away up in the
millions for each company.
Many of the concerns are not incor-
porated but do business as associations
or partnerships. They do not have cap
ital stock in such cases. but have what
are known as interests.
The total Interests" of the American
amount to s1S,O0o,OO0. but their mar
ket value is reported at $4,000. 900.
The Wells Fargo company has S.
100000 capital stock and for it 20,000.-
600 has been offered, but it is held at
$25,200.000, actual value
The Pacific capital of s600O.o00 is re-
ported to be at par value also the
Great Northern's s1.00O,0O0 capital
while the United States 100000 900
capital is reported to be worth $1,000
600 !,
Besides these millions the American
reports over 80 100000 in real estate.
and over $21,3OO.o0O in stocks. bonds,
etc.
The United States reports SO 800 900
in real estate and s7.500.000 in stocks
and bonds.
But these properties are out OF
Iowa, and under the law it has been
held that the state of Iowa cannot
assess and tax them because they have
a situs at which they are taxed pre-
sumably and the state cannot doubly
tax. it is claimed. In the case of rail-
roads some of this outside value is
imported into the state and distrib-
uted over the lines according to mile
age, but it is not done in the case of
the express companies.
The Pacific reports gross earnings on
all its lines everywhere of nearly 81
100000; the Great Northern. nearly
