Des Moines, Aug. S.-If the courts
will permit it. the indictments recently
returned at Iowa City against insur-
ance agents for violation Of the Iowa
statutes forbidding combines for tho
purpose of raising; insurance rates will
probably be quashed and the prosecu-
ton be dropped. 1t IL stared that tho
combine has been abandoned and no
steps will be taken to interfere with
ordinary competition at that place. But
the evidence il strong that there was
violation Of the statutes. In q dozen
agents have been disbanded and no.
tice has been given that the rate
business will not be interfered with.
The new way Of dealing with the mat
ter IL thru q combine OF the insurance
bureau and the Western Union, by
which the insurance agents are brought
together for the purpose Of reducing
expenses to the, companies. The or
ganization Of this agreement is said
to, have caused great deal Of friction
already.
It is probable that the candidates for
governor will be present at the educa-
tional conference to be held in the
state house the latter. part Of the
month under call OF the better schools
commission. It is known that both
Clarke and Dunn are much interested
in educational matters and In full sym
PATTY with those who are seeking the
betterment Of school conditions In the
state. Governor Clarke has long been
especially pronounced in favor Of the
very best school laws and larger funds
for educational work. The commits
sion is receiving much valuable infor-
nation from school patrons in answer
to blanks recently sent out.
Iowa has unique distinction in one
regard as to assessment and taxation
matters.
There is not another state of the
union" said Joseph A. Wall, Of the
state auditors Office, Gin which the
Iowa system of making assessments
and then taking one-fourth Of the value
for taxing purposes is followed. That
is one thing Iowa does that Is utterly
and inexcusably foolish. 1t il the most
ridiculous thing any state ever adopted
and how It has been permitted to go
on so long is mystery"
