Code Supplements to Junk pile.

Code Supplements to Junk Pile.
Twelve tons of worthless copies OF
the first supplement to the code have
been sold for old paper, by the exc
cutive council under an act of the
Thirtieth general assembly.
There were 3,443 copies in the allot-
ment to the junk pile and the state
still has 1900 copies on hand, but
they, also, are worthless except for
files, the second supplement to the
code, which embodies all that is in
the first supplement, having been is
suel several months ago.
The first supplement was author
lied by the code revision law of 1897,
James III. Trewin being at the head
Of it. The supplement was published
under authority of an act of the
Twenty-ninth general assembly drawn
by Mr.. Trewin and passed on his re-
communication and was compiled by
a commission Of which he was chair
man and of which Senator w. P.
Whipple of Benton county, Claude r.
Porter OF Centerville, and others were
members. The act provided for the
printing of $4,000 copies. Bernard
Murphy printed them and Howard
Tedford bound them 1t is from this
1900 copies that the 3,A43 were sent
to the junk pile and the 1900 copies
were preserved
This disposition of the supplement
was recommended by Curator Small
OF the law library, Curator Harlan OF
the historical department and State
Librarian Brigham, under the law of
the Thirtieth ganeral assembly.
The last legislature cut down the
number of copies. of the supplement
to be published from $4,000 to 10000
the 5000 reduction being about the
number of the first supplement which
have become utterly worthless and
sent TO the junk pile.
The sheep bindings from the covers
of the books were stripped off and
turned over to the board of control
for use at the bindery which the state
operates at the reformatory at Ana
mosa.
The Trewin code supplements made
up about one-half of the old docu-
ments which have been relegated to
the junk pile by the authorities re.
Gently. They all brought from 81 to
40 cents per 100 pounds.

Referendum Vote on Tax Remission.

Referendum Vote on Tax Remission.
The referendum feature of the Des
Moines plan law will receive its first
trial at the next general election in
November.
The question to be submitted is
whether the city shall continue the
policy of RENTING taxes of manu-
featuring concerns in order to in
duce them to locate in Des Moines.
1t will also be left to the voters
to say whether the city hall carry
out existing contracts relieving GER
tain companies from taxation for a
certain period of years.
The new council has been wrestling
with these two questions ever since
it assumed Office. Corporation Coun-
sci Baily advised the members that
there is great doubt as to the legality
of certain contracts for RENTING
taxes. At a conference following a
council meeting it was definitely de-
cided to leave the matter to a refer.
endum vote.
