BOOSTING TERMINAL TAX
Commercial Club Sends Out Circular
to Other Cities in State.
ASKED TO HELP MEASURE ALONG
League of Iowa Municipalities Also
Behind Measure by
senator saunderp-Dste of
Hearing Not Fixed.

Letters have been written by the Coun-
Gil Bluffs Commercial club to every SINH
lar organization in the state OF Iowa ask
ing support for the railway terminal taxa
ton bin introduced In the state legislature
by Senator c. G. Saunders OF this city.
This circular letter. which is signed by
e. II. DoolittIe, chairman Of the executive
committee Of the Commercial club, is as
follows:
Gentlemen: You are probably aware that
there is now now pending in the general as
sembly a measure to provide for a more
equitable distribution of taxes from railway
properties, introduced by Mr.. c. @. Saunders,
the senator from this county. This Dill
was drawn after consultation with and is
approved by the Iowa League of Munich
paIitIes. You are aware that under the
present metho of assessment for taxation
of railway properties, the cities and towns
Of our state are deprived Of their just pro-
portion Of such taxes. There can be no
property should he paid where the prop
erty is situated and to the municipal cor
p~oration which affords II protection and
from which Il receives benefits.
Immediate and vigorous action should
be taken by the communities wronged by
the present system. We therefore earn
estly request that you throw into the scales
in favor of this measure every ounce OF
Influence possessed by your organization
and that you do so at once, and keep Ii up
unremittingly until victory shall be won.~
~ - - @A1t LILLE aAAN1h ab w AAA0
Commercial club of this city with the Off
GERS of the League of Iowa municipalities,
the legislative committee of which had a
hand in preparing the bill. with the view of
securing their active cooperation in sup
port OF the measure.
Mayor Thomas Maloney is also lending
assistance in the. effort to secure the pas
sage of the bill He has written personal
letters to the mayors OF twenty other cities
in the state requesting them to use their
influence in behalf Of the measure. These
letters are similar In tenor to those sent
out by the Commercial club. They call at
tention TO the inequality and injustice of
the present method of assessing and tax
ing railway properties.
City Treasurer +. T.. True is in receipt of
a letter from Senator Saunders in which
the latter states he will advise Mr.. True
Of the date when a hearing Is to be had
on the bill as soon as the same Is fixed
by Chairman Smith Of the ways and means
committee of the senate, to which the bill
was referred. 1t is the intention that Coun-
Gil Bluffs shall be represented by a large
and influential delegation at the hearing
before the committee. Mayor Maloney and
a majority OF the members of the city coun.
Gil, City Treasurer True and City Solicitor
Kimball. together with a delegation from
the Commercial club. will go to Des Moines
to attend the hearing. The proposed change
Of method Of taxing railway terminal prop

burn-Jamieson congressional contest was
practically called off here today at noon.

left the city. This action followed the loss
of twenty-four ballots for Congressman
Hepburn at the end Of the recount of eight
precincts.
Hepburn had relied on making large gains
in Appanoose and when the recount failed
to show these, 1t was thought to be simply
a needless expenditure Of time and money
TO continue the recount.

gresham w. p. Hepburn. stated today:
I'VE have given up the contest in Appa-
moose county"
Further than this he would not state. Two

dropped in Union and Page. W. b. jamie
