It may be found necessary to restore
some of the provisions in the house bill.
The receipts for the current fiscal
year are materially affected by the
senate amendments changing the time
for the assessment Of the income tax
from Jan. to March l; postponinG
the time when the bill will go into op-
GRAFTON as to wool and wooilens until
Dec. 1 and Jan. I respectively; as to
sugar, until March I. 1914, and by de-

Income Tax Feature.
It is estimated that during the fiscal
year 1916, when all the provisions Of
the amended bill will be in operation,
there will be a revenue of between
$9,o0OooO and $1OOoO,o0o in excess Of
the probable needs of the government
and that the income tax feature of the

sugar on the free list, removing q
source of revenue producing more than
$4,000 900 annually.

inquiry, that the body OF the proprietor
had been found on the bed In his room

very we'll and guessed he would go to
his room and lie down. He had done
this the day before but came back to
the store before closing time This
time he did not return at that time nor
was there at all Saturday forenoon.
Fearing he might be Ill the clerk went
to the Duffus home early Saturday
afternoon and, opening the door Of Mr..
Potts room, discovered the rigid body
partly undressed. q 1t is persistently
rumored that the deceased was laboring
under a load OF serious troubles and

Des Moines. June 1S.-1t was all
mistake about the Des Moines boost
ers" going to help the county and state
officials to secure an assessment OF
property in Iowa this year at full
value" according to the code. 1t is re-
called that they gained some fame re-
Gently by threat to bring the county
assessors before the grand jury to ex-
plain why they had not complied with
the strict letter of the law as to as
sessments. Then something happened
and the county officials forgot about
invt< tisating the assessors.
Now 1t IL declared by representa-
tive of one of the organizations that
they intend going before the state Of
flcers with petition asking for reduc-
ton In assessments far below the full
value" suggested in the code.
The reduction Is, Of course. to be on
city alone. The principle, however,
Moines court recently decided that 1t
Iowa at anything other than it's actual
nobody has right to mark assess
ments down below actual values on
any kind of property. except moneys
aud credits.
Now what sort of an argument will
a Des Moines committee present to
the state officials In favor of re-
duction Of assessments? It 10 sug-
gested that good man for chairman
of the committee would be Judge Hugh
Brennan. He is very familiar with the
law as affects these features. He is
also loyal resident Of Des Moines.
The claim is to be made, OF course.
that assessments In other cities and
towns of the state are lower than in
Des Moines hence that Des MONIES
assessments should be lowered, But it
is also probable that every other city
of the state would make similar
claim as to its assessments.
There is hoping that the state grange
or the farmers organizations of some
kind will appoint strong committee
to go before the state officials next
month and represent them in the mat
ter Of assessment.
But Des Moines boosters do not want
Des Moines assessments raised.
