HAS VOCABULARY OF A POET

William c. Redfleld, the secretary

that he can make a symphony out Of
a census report-and sing it. He is
one Of the few men who can make

ment. And when It comes to mere

These are qualities that become a

Hampton. Nov. 13.-An unusual find
was made this morning near the pump
ing station of the NJ. & st. L. railroad
here. Ed Paden, the pumpman, while
walking along the tracks noticed some
thing bright in the water Of the small
creek which parallels the right of way.
He proceeded to investigate and took
from the waters four dozen silver
knives and six, dozen spoons. He re-
ported the find to Marshal Hasler, who
went to the scene and made a more
thorough search, and found quantity
of forks.
The tableware was strung along the
creek FOR some distance, but as proof
that the silver had not been in the
water long the tissue wrappings were
still intact. It is supposed that the
articles were stolen from some hard
ware or jewelry store in neighboring
town and the thief jumped from train
when 1t stopped here and attempted to
plant" his loot in the creek until such
time as he could safely recover and
dispose Of it. Burglaries have been nu-
merous in this section of the state of
late.
further search of the creek is be-
ing prosec uted. -

Special to Times-Repub blican.

Eldora. Nov. 13.-The last bit Of his
money OF the $40 denomination and
which the government as the final ar
bitter has pronounced as counterfeit
Is now the property of Merle Wright,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. H. Wright, Of
Eldora.
Years ago the county of Hardin had
2 small iron safe used by the several
treasurers as a sort Of deposit box for
valuable articles. One Of the county
treasurers, the record does not dis
close which one. had passed upon him
in paym ent OF taxes a counterfeit $40
bill After its discovery as spurious
the trea surer deposited the paper in
this old safe and with his retirement
from office it was LETT along with the
other records of the office. That was
in the days of the Old court house,
when the frame building, now a matter
of history, stood on the east side of
the public square. iVnen the trans
fer of property was made TO the new
court house building this safe with its
contents was moved. Some years later.
the county having no use for the safe,
it was sold to a junk dealer as scrap
iron. This junk dealer broke up me
safe and sold those Of its parts that
were of value, but inside the walls Of
the safe was an old tin box and in TINS
had lain the spurious coin for years.
Kicked About For Years.
The junk dealer, considering this box
of no value, threw it to one side and
It eventually found a resting place IN
a building near the old Iowa Central
yards which property number OF
years ago was partially destroyed py
fire. After the fire the tin box was
again cast aside. A few weeks ago
some boys playing near the STOCK
wards discovered the old tin box and
anon examination found among its
contents this money. supposedly OF val
ue. Merle Wright, the boy who hrst
discovered the treasure took mis- hnd
to one Of the banks In Eldora- so
cleverly designed was the counterfelt
bill that the bank officials thousns
best to have 1t examined by the au-
thorities at Washington. On Weanes-
day the bill returned here to the oank
and had written beneath its moidy
outlines the word counterfeit.

In an early Oay III tiiiS Iooii'' -
was not an uncommon thing for spur

and this bill was undoubtedly one OF
the many that passed currency even II,

SOME TALL TAX BOOSTING
Values Of Iowa Real Estate, After
Running Gauntlet Of Assessors,
Boards and Courts, Are Increased
$1so,s26,ooo Compared to Assess
nent Of 1912
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times s-Republican.
Des Moines, Nov 13.-When all the
adjustments were completed and
everything footed up in the office Of
auditor Of state, the assessments made
by $500 assessors. adjusted by ninety
nine boards of review. and equalized
by a state tax commission, with or
iginal state assessment Of some forms
of property, and some tall jumping to
comply with extraordinary court or
ders induced by spurring from the
League of Iowa Municipalities-after
all this, it was found that the total
assessed taxable value of Iowa prop
erty as OF date Jan. / last was
s91S,262,963.
Therefore. officially, the assessed
actual value OF all Iowa property for
this year is s3,G73.051,s ,s52.
This means that after the boost by
the assessors, the boost by the local
boards. the boost by the league, the
boost by the court and the boost by
the state tax commission. the aggre-
gate boost in taxable value Of Iowa
property was s160.926, 900. This is by
comparison with 1912.
At the time the tax levy was made,
as provided by law, the aggregate Of
values on which taxes are to be raised
could only be approximately known.
Now the exact figures are on record.
On the basis of the $91s,000,0
valuation for taxing purposes there
will be raised for general revenues Of
the state for this year about s2,662, 600.
The total of all taxes that have been
levied and will be collected in Iowa
for 1912 is over s4o.ooo,ooo
The levy Of taxes for state purposes
was made by order of the general as
sembly, the state board having only
clerical duty to perform in comput-
ing what levy would raise the money
ordered raised. The legislature. Of and
for Itself, also made some tax levies.
chiefly for educational purposes and
for betterment of the state institu-
tions. farms, buildings and general
equipment

on the taxable value as now footed up.
VIII bring for the use of the state in
stitutions a total OF s1.s3s.000. OF this
sum $1,377 900 will be for use at Iowa
City, Cherokee, Marshaltown. Ames,
vinton, Council Bluffs, Clarinda, Mount
Pleasant, Glenwood. Oakdale, Fort
Madison Cedar Falls, Anamosa,
Knoxville, and few other places; also
for use in the college extension work
from Ames. the purchase Of land for
the epileptic farm, the equipment for
state labor in the prisons. establishing
a women's reformatory. etc. The re-
maInder will go to purchase ground on
which to erect q state office building
and other similar purposes.
The amount Of money to be actually
raised for state expenses Is less by
several thousand dollars than the sum
actually raised for the same purpose
last year.
The sum that will be raised is higher,
on the taxable valuation as now re-
corded, than on the taxable valuation
as it was last year, before the league
Of municipalities and the courts got
busy, by s7ss,7o0.
On the basis Of the present 7alu-
alton the tax. levy for state purposes
made for 1919 would have raised more
than the levy for this year s550,soO.
