Des Moines, May 5.-1owa coal will

Increased wages to the miners n 9TH
er concessions made to them by the

duction at least 10 cents a ton.
Even the railroads will nave to pay

Reese, OF the operators. The increase
of 10 cents a ton is the absolute mini
mum. No consumer, no matter now
large, can hope TO purchase Iowa coal
for less thar 10 cents over the prices
prevailing before the end of the coal
agreement. The increase will vary in
different locations and it will in some
cases be as high as Is or 20 cents a
ton above the old price. The miners
are making US pay more to produce our
coal. We aus pay for this increased
cost of production by raising the prices

Miners of Iowa will nave to pay
about 10 cents a ton more for their a

furnish them Goa for their own use.
This is called house coal" Resolution
No. II of the Iowa agreement fixes the
price of the house coal in the various
sub-districts and this resolution is now
being considered in the joint wage
scale committee. The operators demand
an increase of 10 cents a ton for all

cents a ton will doubtless be granted
by the miners. They generally con-
cede that the new scale will increase
the cost of production by about 10
cents a ton. The operators sell the coal
to the miners at about cost.

case the court held that shares of stock
held by twenty-five Iowa people in the
United States Gypsum Company OF
New Jersey should be assessed as
stock. 1t seems that in all there are
4,144 shares of preferred and 2,4S7
shares of common stock held in Iowa.
Their value far exceeds the value of the
property of the company in Iowa. The
legislative suggestion was:
In the absence of any showing to
the contrary the laws of other states
are presumed to be like those of this
state. and if so the shares of stock are
assessed at the principal place OF bus
mess of the corporation and to 1t and
again to the shareholders if a resident
of this state. If the property OF the
corporation is assessed there also the
shareholder whose stock merely repre-
sents his portion of such property nec-
'~essarily pays a second time. In the
case at bar the property of the orpora
ton is situated IN twelve or fourteen

There has not been in ten years such
a very small amount of building under
way at the state institutions as at the
present time. The legislature appropri-
ated a smaller amount for permanent
Improvements than usual, thanks to the
care of the leading men of the senate
and house. But there is very little un-
der way and the drain upon the state
treasury from this source is far less
than usual. A new hospital is to be
built at Vinton but no expenditure has
been made for the same as yet. A new
barn is being built at Eldora, and work
will be commenced on the longest tun-
