PHONE LINES MUST PAY.
All MutuaIs Subject to Usual Tax As
sessment.


Des Moines, Feb. 14.-Attorney Cen
eral Byers of Iowa has obtained an
order from Judge Ellsworth at Cedar
Rapids which settles the mooted
question as to whether purely mutual
telephone companies are amenable to
the tax assessments levied by the
state executive council. A writ of
mandamus issued by Judge Ellsworth
at the behest of Second Assistant At
torney General Cosson requires that
the board of supervisors certify to the
assessments in all cases. This ends
the defiance of the Linn supervisors.
The case in question was that of the
state VS.. Fuhemeister ct al, the board
of supervisors and auditor Of Linn
county. 1t was represented that some
200 telephone companies We're not re-
Quired by the supervisors to pay the
taxes assessed by the executive coun-
ell, as was their duty. Taxes We're
not paid in 1902. 1908 and 1904. Basing
the general average on the sun levied
in 1904. the state failed to receive
approximately $4,000 in taxes in the
three years.
The case had been pending for sew
eral years and was watched closely
thruout the state, 1t being the hope OF
many of the smaller companies that
the contention of the Linn county far
'mers would be upheld. The farmers
%contended that they should not be
compelled to pay taxes as telephone
companies when they represent only a
band of neighbors with private tele-
phone connections. Nearly every coun-
ty has from fifty to 100 of these small
err companies. AS a rule all have met
the levies. with the exception of the
