REFUSE TO ADMIT DEFEATS
PRoHl5iTIoNISTS NOT DISCouR.
AGED OVER PRIMARY.
Anti-SaIoon League Heads Say Their
Case is Hopeless - Ask Vote
For the Amendment.

Des Moines, June 29.--Special: Al.
though one temperance organization
admits its defeat and declares that
the next Iowa senate will be over
whelmingly in the majority in non.
temperance sentiment, the party pro
hibitiOnists refuse to be discouraged
over the results of the primaries. The
party leaders assure their adherents
that state sentiment is strong enough
to place a number of party prohib-
tionists in the senate at the polls this
fall.
The Rev. Charles J. Hall, who has
been filing speaking engagements
for the party over the state, gave this
assurance to the party prohibitiOnists
yesterday afternoon.
The prohibition party candidates ap'
pear on the state ticket this fall by
petition, the party having lost the ne
cessary two per cent of the total vote
polled in the last general election and
consequently could not go before the
primaries this month.
The statement of Mr.. Hall is taken
to mean that the party prohibitionists
will withhold their support from the
campaign to be waged by the Iowa
Anti.Saloon League for the calling Of
constitutional prohibition amend
ment convention next year.
The Iowa Anti-SaIoon League heads
say their case will be hopeless in the
next legislature because of the num-
Der of primary nominees who are
known temperance opponents. They
advise that the people of Iowa make
use of their privilege this fall and
vote for the call of the convention.
According to the Iowa constitution,
the question of holding a convention
to amend that document is placed be.
fore the electors every tenth year
The present year will see it submitted
as 1t has been every tenth year since
1870. ... ...

state Executive Council Will Begin
Consideration OF the Matter
Within Short Time.

Des Moines, Ia, June 29.-Within
two weeks the state executive coun-
ell, sitting as an assessment board,
will take under consideration the val
uation of the railroad property in
Iowa and undertake to make an as
sessment that win conform to the
general average of valuation on other
road companies which have all been
fled and tabulated make such a
showing that there is very little
doubt that the assessments will be
reduced this year. The railroads as
whole have not been as prosperous
in other years. The gross receipts
have been some larger than in the
previous year, but invariably the net
profits have been smaller. The total
net earning of all the railroads in
Iowa. on Iowa business, as they are
able to figure it out, was SIG, goo or
81 $50 mile.
For number of years under pre-
yious administrations the policy has
been to increase the railroad assess
ment. Now the railroads are paying
nearly a million dollars a year more
taxes in Iowa than they were ten
years ago and with very little larger
mileage. The railroad men claim that
the increase in assessment of their
property has been all too rapid.
AS soon as the railroad assessment
is completed the council will fix the
assessment on real property and then
figure out the tax levy in accordance
with the orders of the general assent
bly,. The council has very little pow
er over the tax levy except as to as
sessment of railroad and real prop
erty. The levy viii be fixed so as to
raise $2,3OO,0O0 of taxes on the state
levy -.
