WHAT IS THERE IN IOWA,
Governor Carroll Asked to Answer
That Question at Convention
In Baltimore,

"What is there in Iowa which
would interest me as a sightseer and
tourist?"

to present this proposition to the
"See Europe If you will, but see
America first" convention, which will
be held in Baltimore January q, 1912

committee.
Governor Crothers of Maryland
urges Governor Carroll to send a del
egation of twenty-five 1owans to the
convention to present 1owa's claim to
distinction as sightseeing and tour
list state.
The proposition will do much to
boost the Hawkeye state by present
ing to a large American gathering
data which will show that Iowa has
points of interest which have never
been advertised, but which will COM
pete with many much advertised
points in foreign lands.

Money and Credits Decision.
Nels Lee. special counsel in the Of
fee of Attorney General Cosson, an
swering inquiries from bankers over
the state, has ruled that government
bonds cannot be deducted when re-
turning property for assessment un-
der the monies and credits tax
His ruling raises the direct issue OF
the constitutionality of the entire
law.
He says that the state can tax gov
bonds for state purposes I'M
der the provisions of the monies and
credits tax law.
The question will probably bs
thrashed out in the courts. The de-
cision sustains City Assessor Parker,
who assessed the government bonds
held by Des Moines banks and thus
increased their assessments over 81
100000.
Parole Board Denies Pardon.
The state board of parole denied
the application Of L. j. Tjernagle for
a parole. This ends all hope that he
will be released from prison before
the end of his term. 1t alsa closes
the chapter in one of the most inter-
esting cases which has been before
The board in years.
The supreme court confirmed the
conviction OF the district court Tier
nagle then appealed to Governor
Carroll to prevent his commitment.
That failed He entered Fort Madl-
son and then appealed to the parole
board for a parole. That has failed.
He must now serve his three and a
half years for ENLIGHTENMENT.

renewal of the charter of the Wood
