A Remarkable Record

The announcement is made by the
Chicago a. North Western Railway
that for the year which ended June 80.
1909. %, 600, 600 OF passengers were car
ried over its rails without single IA
tality, and IL is difiicult.to comprehend
the Significance OF this statement with
out the aid OF the most Illuminating
illustrations.
For Example. The number If pas
sengers carried by the North Western
during the period above mentioned was
more than All the railroads in the
United States carried in the year 1850.
This number of persons is seven times
rs great az we're included in both the
Federal and Confederate armies during
the civil war twenty times a. many as
were in Nerxes army at the invasion
Of Greece generally supposed 70 have
been the largest. number OF persons ever
gathered together IN one place at one
time. II is a third OF the population
Of the United States, yet each one Of
these 81 600. OO0 Of people entrusted
their safety to the Chicago a. North

The population OF New York, Penn
s'lyania, Ohio Illinois. Massachusetts,
and Indiana approximates q, 900. 900
persons, and statistics show great
number of fatalities each year in those
stats as the result Of accidents to per-

ties. thus indicating that travel on the

entail good fortune. but is the result Of
fixed policy on the part Of the Com
pany for a systematic and liberal ex.
penditure wherever such outlay can
add TO the safety and comfort OF the
travelling public
The complete double track Of the
main lines of travel and the operation
OF the reliable and effective automatic
block-signal system. which places a
check on human tallibility by mechan-
ical devices, contribute materially TO
the unsurpassed operating efficiency Of
the Chicago aud North Wpafern Pal
way and the elimination Of the ele.
ment OF personal danger to the traveller
by that line
The progressive policy Of the Com.
pany was emphasized a few days ago
BY the announcement Of the purchase
of large number Of all-steel, hre
proof day coaches. chair cars, parlor
cars dining cars. baggage and mail

nance the safety OF travel.
These liberal expenditures for safe
guarding the public are supplemented
by the Loyalty and enthusiasm OF the
employees OF the North Western Com
pany and their pride in North Western
achievements coupled with the discip-
limo which exacts vigilant and con

In another column we mention the
fact that the Florence Iron company
officials complained while in this city
OF the lack OF road between Stager
and the Brule river. Supt. Vogel says
that il passible road could be secur-
ed, IL is the intention of the company
TO explore its lands in and about
Crystal Falls, the company being
heavily interested IN realty in this sec
ton. The reason that they put so
much stress upon road is that they
wish TO use an automobile i'm visiting
and experimenting the various proper
ties they are and would explore on
both sides of the county. The train
service Is such that they cannot work
to advantage by depending upon the
railroads The company don ask for
any work this year nor do they ask
that any boulevards be built. They
say that IL the few miles mentioned
were made passible they would be sat
isfed for the present This is matter
that should have the consideration Of
the county commissioners. We belive
that the Florence people should appear
before the board and take the matter
up and that they will find that body
willing to do everything consistent ia
tho way Of opening up the highway.
IL is certainly to the interest Of every
property owner in the county 10 assist
any concern that is willing to spend
its money in developing the county.

Attorney Generals Ruling Re
lieyes Domestic Locals of
Prohibitiye Tax
MARsHALLTowN COMPANY WINS
Domestic Local Building and Loan As
sucistions Do Not Now Have to
Pay Any Incorporation Fee Only
Ar Annual Tax Of S. Will Be
Charged.
Special to mes-Republican.


] Dss Moines, Jan. domestic local
building and loan associations have
been emancipated as it were by the
success which has come to Attorney p.
j.. 1Iayzlett, OF Marshalltown, in con-
vncing the attorney general that do
nestle locals should pay only So an
nual fee to the state under the provis-
ions of section 1918 of the code instead
of Icing taxed an incorporation fee of
s25 for the first $4,000 of stock and
81 per $1,000 thereafter like all COM
mercial corporations.
Heretofore Attorney General Mullan
had held that the law demanded both
the incorporation fee and the annual
fee and us local building and loan as
soci atoms are always conducted on
min mum of expense and as the stock
issue is very large because the prin-
ciplt of the building and loan company
is one installment stock which requires
approximately eleven years to become
fully paid in, the former ruling was
almost a prohibitive expense. In the
case of the Marshalltown association 1t
would have cost the company 1855 in
corporation fee before 1t could ever get
stared Now 1t will cost nothing to
star: but SIS annually hereafter.
This ruling Will give an impetus to
the Organization of purely local build
ing and loan Associations turnout the
stats as the matter of several hum
.Tred dollars OF Incorporation tax has
held them back. With these public en-
terp.ises or mutual loan associations,
tl.erc has been no capital to start With
and no profit to be made out of them
by il promoter or investor, hence ho
one has been sufficiently interested 10
put IN the incorporation fee. Now they
can start as easily as any debating So
cietA and While being strictly regu-
lated, by state law be taxed only So
Mhel, they file an annual statement
with the state auditor
M. Hayzlett has had twenty years
experience in handling domestic local
building and loan associations and
from his intimate knowledge Of the
business he was able to convince At
5torE,.y General Byers that section 1913
was meant for domestic locals rather
than the other sections which is q re-
vers:ll Of the former attorney general
and great relief to local associations.

age operations; the second an argument
in favor of state drainage commits
sion and the third an address by Prof
A. Marston, dean of the Iowa state
college of Engineering, on the results
