New Tax Ferret Law.

That the Iowa legislature passed
what is practically a tax ferret law,
is a surprise to the state and to even
many of the legislators. The law
was recommended by the executive
council and more particularly by its
secretary, A. H. Dawson. 1t was al
so given an o. X. by the committee
on retrenchment and reform In
brief the law as passed gives the eX-
ecutive council full power and au-
thority to spend money, hire help
and otherwise do anything that it
deems proper to investigate property
values and gather as board of
equalization to put taxation in the
state on an equitable basis.
Under the old tax ferret law
which was so unpopular, and which
the legislature repealed, counties
were authorized TO employ ferrets to
dig into the tax records and see who
was lodging. The difference be-
tween the old law and the present
one is that the state now takes
charge of the business. Under the
new act which has been signed by
the governor the executive council
may employ any number of secret
agents to go into any county in the
state and study taxation problems
| These men may look up the fellow
who is lodging taxes. They may
ascertain whether farms are taxed
equitably and whether railroads or
corporations are lodging. They re-
port to the state executive council
and the council has power as a
board of equalization to put blan-
ket raise on taxes in any county
where there is any considerable
amount of sequestered property.
Under this act the executive coun-
ell has the power to get physical val
uations on railroad property for the
purpose of taxation.
The council is not even limited in
| its funds but may expend such parts
of any unappropriated funds in the
state treasury as are deemed neces-
gary for the work.

Team Crashes Into Store Front

Much excitement was caused on
the street Saturday morning when a
team of Anderson Bros, driven by
John Calendar, started to run west
as they left the barn, turned north
on Court street and dashed straight
across Water street into the front
window of Emil Rosenthal's grocery
store. There was no box on the
wagon, and Mr.. Calendar had no
control over the team. With its
fore feet and head struck through
the store window and its hind feet
through the basement window of
the Powers restaurant, one of the
horses created considerable confu-
sion, and it was extricated from its
fredicament with difficulty. The
damage consisted mainly in the
breaking of the glass.

The Japs i'm California.

Anent the japanese controversy
in California, the following extract
from a recent letter to Mrs. H. NJ.
Cummings from her son Ward, who
has been in California for some
time, will be found timely and in
teresting, as presenting at least the
local view of the situation:
There is a great deal of talk out
here about the alien land bill and
the Jap. l am looking for trouble
and that real soon. l hate the Japs
and so does everyone else, that
comes in contact with them. There
is going to be great mix up at lie
shops before long, too. There are
about $50 Japs employed here and
they are getting altogether too i'm
portant. We certainly have a
bully governor in this state, Old
Bryan, couldn't hand him anything
and | hope he sticks up for the
states rights.
We give the Japs exactly what we
are allowed over there. That's a
fair proposition. What they want is
this state of California. If the people
there in Washington d. C. only
knew the exact situation, they would
wake up and take notice. In lots of
the inland farming districts there
are five Japs to one white man, and
in one school, there are fifty Japs
to four white children. That sounds
good, don't it? If they want to col
oniZe why not go to Africa, there is
plenty of territory there. We don t
want them here. The chinks are
preferable, and far more honest"
