sible Some corporations who are hon
est and refuse to do any business an
less they comply with the law, are
staying out Of the state because of the
fact that the amount of business they
would do here would be small and 1T
will not pay them to pay the filing
fee.
AT the last session of the legislature
it was proposed to pass a law regard
ing corporations that was designed to
raise a revenue for the state from the
business of the corporations and still
be just and liberal to the corporations.
There was so much opposition to it
that it was never passed but will In
all probability be brought up at the
next session of the legislature.
The executive council will draw cuts

was before the executive council yes
terday to argue for one OF the candi-
dates and 1t is understood that the
attorneys for one or the other of the
candidates may make an effort to have
the votes recounted. The members
Of the council informed them then that
as they interpreted the law the coun-
Gil should draw cuts and determine
the matter by lot.
The council is now thru with the
official canvass with the exception OF
Dallas and Polk counties and these are
tied up in such a way that the coun-
Gil cannot get the returns. The Dali
las county votes are tied up by the
application OF Hull to prevent re-
count Of the votes there and the sup
ervisors OF Polk county have not COM
pleted the canvass. This may inter-
fere with the county conventions in
these two counties to be held Satur-
day as the council must certify the
returns to the county chairmen of the
counties. 1t is expected that the con-
ventions will have to meet on Satur-
day as required by law and then adj
ell certifies the returns.

NEMESIS FOLLOWS CLASS.
Four 1906 Graduates Of University,
Have Been Drowned.

Have Been OroWno0.
Iowa City, June 17.-The drowning
Of Edward Eibersole in the Des Moines
river Saturday at Des Moines, came as
sad news to this city which was for-
merly his home and to the state uni
yersity from. which he graduated two
years ago. The class OF 1906, OF which
Ebersole was a member, seems to have
met Its Nemesis in drowning. Four
prominent members OF the class in two
years have met their fate in the water.
Just prior I'D commencement Elizabeth
Ogden and William Thornburg, both
members of the class. were drowned
in the river here. their canoe slipping
over the old Terrill dam. It was per-
haps the greatest tragedy the univer-
sity has ever experienced. Early IN
this year Theron Illick. member OF
the same class, was drowned In the
Mississippi river near Burlington

Moines, and It Is this that u having
influence to induce some Of the news
naner and business men to put money
into the deal.
Another question in the matter that
is interesting newspaper men here as
we'll as elsewhere in Des Moines, is
whether a newspaper can live In East
Des Moines. 1t is remembered that
the Des Moines Capital was built up
while it was located on the east side,
tho it was not located in the real busi-
ness center of the east side, but closer
to the river, but that paper is now
printed in West Des Moines in the
center of the business district.
It is understood that the deal is held
in allegiance at this time because Of
the fact that the persons chiefly in
terested are at this time away from
the city but that it will be taken up
again soon and that the probabilities
are that the deal will be closed.
The next legislature may be given
some work to do in regard to the cor
poration laws of Iowa. Some Of the
laws are weak In spots and some of
them are strong in spots. 1t is be-
lieyed that these should be some grada-
ton as to the amount OF fees that an
outside corporation pays to the state
Cor the privilege of doing business
here. Furthermore for some years some
outside corporations have been able to
do business in the state without paying
any fees at all. ss
There are two striking illustrations
of where the corporation laws Of the
state work hardship on outside cor
porations. One is In relation to the
Santa Fe railroad. This road has
about twenty-eight miles of road In
the state of Iowa stretching across the
little neck of land down in the south
east corner of the state that really
ought to be apart OF Missouri. 1t has
but four stations along this stretch OF
line! These are Shopton, which in real
fty Is its shops at Fort Madison, and
Macura, Bricken and Argyle. But the
Santa Fe road has to pay one dollar
for every thousand dollars OF stock
for which it is incorporated and 1t Is
incorporated for something like $780,
100000. 1t therefore has to pay $780,
900 for that little stretch Of road while
others pay no more for lines stretching
entirely across the state.
The other instance is the Prairie OH
and Gas Company which has about
eighteen miles of pipe line stretching
across the corner of the state on its
way from the Kansas oil fields to
Whiting Indiana. For the privilege of
running that line across the state 1t
must file certified copy Of its articles
OF Incorporation with the secretary Of
state and pay filing fee amounting to
$500.
On the other hand the Swift Packing
Company and the Swift Transportation
Company and the Hammond and other
packing companies and their subsidiary
or refrigerator car
lines, pay no filing fee and yet they
are doing business in the state regular
" and doing many thousands of doll
lars worth Of business year. Some
other corporations doing but small
amount of business a year must pay
filing fee on the full amount Of the
capital stock.
There are many who believe that
there should be some change in this
fea t,,ra IF the e,nrpt,ration laws If pos

Des Moines, June 17.-An option has
been taken on one OF the daily news
papers of Des Moines, the newest one.
Just now the parties chiefly interested
III the matter are out of the city. The
option expires on June %, but it is
understood that 1t will be extended if
need be. and it therefore looks much
/ % tho the paper might change hands
There is some little interest in the
matter aside from the Importance of
the paper.
It is understood that if the deal goes
thru. and the paper is sold, Mr.. Hell
/ len, the editor, will be given federal
job Of some kind as reward from AL
1 lison and Dolliver for what he has
: done for them during the last cam
paign. A number OF business men Of
Des Moines have signified a willing
ness, to take some stock in the news

.agsment and provided it is left on the
east side as q sort OF East Des Molnes

Those having the option at this time
would make the paper straight pro-
gressive newspaper. The East Des
Moines business men and other BUSH
ness men who have declared their will
Z ingness to invest In 1t are satisfied that
It's politics should be progressive, and
the progressives over the state Of Iowa
feel the need of newspaper that is an
out-and-out all the time progressive
newspaper. It Is recognized that the
corporations in LATE Young have a
man willing at ali times to print any
thing they desire, while the progress
sives have no paper in which they can
\ ret al the news on their side printed.
The Tribune is now IA months old,
There has been some question whether
Doe Moines could sustain a fourth
daily newspaper. Especially Is this q
question since the old Leader was con-
soiidated with the Register. The fact
/ tha& the Tribune has lasted thru four
* teen months, and the first year is con-
ssidered the stormiest for any new
newspaper, gives newspaper men some
foundation for the belief that possibly
fourth paper can survive in Des
