Of Des Moines and Sioux City
Clearing Houses In the Conference.
Des Misunderstanding McAdoo and
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Williams set out to skip Iowa COM
pletely in the distribution of public
moneys to the banks for crop move
ment purposes. This was learned, to-
gether with the fact that Represents
tive Connolly made strong protest
which apparently brought the treas
ury department to understand the alb
surdity of leaving one of the foremost
crop producing states OF the union out
of any plan for distributing crop NOV
ing money.
Assistant Secretary Williams as soon
as he learned public deposits would
be distributed and because he was adj
vsed that Waterloo desired deposits
II available. Mr.. Williams said there
were no large cities in Iowa and that
Chicago. Omaha and Kansas City and
have all the middle western money
distributed from there.
To this Representative Connolly re-
piled that ii seemed to him Of para
mount Importance. If money was to
be distributed to move crops. that a
state which had crops among the
greatest in the country ought not to
be overlooked that, in fact. there was
no excuse for overlooking it; and that
the deposits ought to be placed in two
or three Iowa cities. lie reminded
Mr.. Williams that the magnitude OF
Iowa's crops could not be reckoned
by the population statistics of Iowa
cities.
AS the result Of Mr.. Connolly's
vigorous protest. against the plan to
overlook Iowa. Secretary McAdoo In
cluded the presidents of the Des
Moines and Sioux City Clearing House
associations in his invitation for a
conference this week to discuss dis
tribution OF the funds, and it is ex-
pected two or more Iowa places will
get deposits.
State Executive Council Scoided.
The editor OF the West Side Enter
prise of Linn county. doesn't agree
with the state executive council in its
views about values OF property In the
state. He wrote letter to the conn
ell concerning what he thinks about
1t. The last sentence of his letter fol.
lows: more bitter attacks will be
made by some than by me against
what appears to be a band of state
hooters that would make Tammany
hall apply for a charter as an elee-
mosynary institution" Complaints
about taxation matters are received
at the state house every day. Some
are made by farmers, some by merch-
ants, others by city property owners.
II any of the railroad men have kick
ed what they have said has not been
made public.
There has been considerable com
plant that farm lands were raised
more in proportion than were rail.
roads Mr.. Dawson. secretary of the
council, says this is true. but. he calls
attention to the fact that railroads are
assessed less than one-twelfth OF all
the property in the state including the
railroads.
