Des Moines, June 10.-The Iowa SUI
RENE court the other day put its seal
Of condemnation on the disposition In
some places to be easy with the Cali
fornia exiles who make haste to evade
Iowa taxes. The case was peculiar and
and interesting. T. w. Barhydt had
lived in Burlington many years. In the
fall he closed his house in which he had
lived forty years. placed it in the hands
of caretaker, and started with his
family around the world. He was in
Manila in December and in Honolulu
in January. He paused in Pasadena
in February. bought himself home
and announced that as his future
domicile. The assessors in Burlington
assessed him on $250.0O0 worth Of
stocks as of Jan. l. The district court
released him from the taxes. The SUI
preme court says in effect that at least
Tor the purposes of taxation he could
not lose his citizenship in iowa until
he had gained it somewhere else and
that In fact he was q resident of Iowa
on Jan. and should pay the taxes.
1t has been said that the California
colony Of ex-Iowans owes taxes in Iowa
that amount to hundreds Of thousands
of dollars, and an effort il to be made
In Des Motnes to collect some of this
money due. The decision Of the SUI
preme court will help In this work.
The remarkable success Of Sergeant
jackson. Of Washington. Iowa, in max
ing q perfect score in the shooting at
Annapolis caused some surprise in
Iowa guard circles. jackson is fine
shot but 1t was hardly supposed ne
was 10 good az that. Captain Hird and
Sergeant Jackson went to represent
Iowa In the competition for the team
to go to Stockholm. Lieutenant Preuss-
ner, Of Independence, Is generally re-
garded by the guardsmen as superior
to either Of them but he was unfor-
tunate In the preliminary contests and
failed to qualify. But the success of
jackson shows what strides have been
made in the Iowa guard in recent years
in Workmanship under competent in
struction and with series Of contests
arousing great interest among the men.
The neighbors and home friends Ct
Governor George w. Clarke gave HIM
an ilnpromptu reception and rejoicing
last Friday evening at his home in
Adel The affair was got up quickly.
and great crowd of the Dallas county
people met at the modest home of the
republican nominee and serenaded him.
There was music and speech making

well. It is doubtful II any nominee for
governor has ever been held in such
high regard by all his neighbors and
at his home. It would

Clarke was really very much worn
out by the campaign and he will take
a good rest before starting in on the
for election.
Attorney Harry Sampson, Of the Of
ace Of attorney general, made killing
at Sioux City and broke up the
scheme by and under which the in
surance agents there were evading the
Blanchard anti-compact law. They
dissolved their company and went out
Of business as soon as they found that
the scheme was understood and that
would follow. The insur-
ance agents had organized q company
and incorporated and had a pooling
by which they put into
q, common fund the premiums received
from all commissions received on such
business as they had to take at rates
below the advisory rates to prevent
outside competition. They divided at
stated intervals. But the main feature
was that Of forming corporation to
prevent any deviation from the advis-
Dry rates and thus to effect compact
or combine in plain violation Of the
state law.
The story is being circulated that
LATE Young intends going to Call
fornia and may not return to Des
Moines for long time. He went away
the day following the primary and it
ls understood did not intend to return
until after the national convention.
Now 1t is, said he will go on long
trip.
