cultural college alumni IN backing Lee
TO effect defeat Of the administration.
The Drake people refused to Join in the
movement. It was represented that the
entire Ames alumni association and the
people who backed the Holden candi-
eiacy last year would join in the move
ment.
The statement L. made here, and
vouched for, that the plan is to have
An entire reactionary ticket. including
senator and from top to bottom. and
20 join with the candidates for congress
in various districts in making fight
to overturn e,-- hing. The plan Is to
AVE Pickett go against Cummins. Lee
fight Clarke for second term with
Rowley dropping out to become an in
dependent candidate in November, with
James H. Wilson on the ticket and
President Ford Of the league of munich
palities bearing the brunt of the fight
Tor state auditor. It will be distinctly
movement to oppose the policies of the
tate administration and the legisla-
ture.
state Committee Meets Next Week.
The republican state committee will
meet next week and it is declared that
reports will give indication that the
party is in excellent condition If only
the preliminary fights can be mini
mized and the members Of the party get
together in support of national policies.
The belief prevails that the tariff, the
canal tolls, the financial bill and other
topics will soon become the sole topic
Of political discussion.
II will be recalled that some time ago
1t was stated, without any mo~..lcation.
that when Ed Meredith was induced to
run for the democratic nomination for
governor he was promised the nomina-
ton FOR United States senator. Whether
those who made the promise will be
able 70 make good IL soon to be de-:
tarmined. But 1t IL now certain that
Meredith will hold them to their
promise. He has said he would not be
q candidate at all If he had to light for
fha nomination and 1t Is also known
flia& he viii make no serious night
AGAINST Cumnins In November, for his
record in support. of the senior senator
Is well known.
The fact that Chairman Frank p.
woods, Of the republican national COM
nittee, has filed his nomination papers
indicates that he is not at all frightened
over the usual effort to unseat him IN
the district. He has understood all
along there would be opposition but has
indicated to his friends that he will not
be frightened thereby.
Oscar King Davis and bis associates
have set their seal Of approval on the
ticket placed in nomination by the bull
moose managers here and 1t Is certain
there will be no fight made. Mr.. Bashor.
who heads, the ticket, will be expected
to do practically all the oratorical work.
Administrator Living Up to Laws.
Another cause for bitter complaining
about the way the state administration
is living up to the letter OF the law
came to light. this week. The county
examiners who have been going about
the state making inquiries as to how
the public business IL being conducted
have found that in very many instances
a..essnent Of national banks has been
on fraudulent and illegal basis. When
some of the benefciaries of the fraud
are told the law must be obeyed they
get real angry and make big threats.
The other day case developed like
this. that a bank with $4,000 capital
had claimed that all its capital stock
was invested in government bonds to
secure circulation. and hence that as
these bonds are not taxable, their value
a.,ould be offset against the face value
NJ the bonds The result was the stock
vent scot free at taxation. And this
had been going on for years. The sole
question put up to state officials now
!. vhether or; not the property which
Nd. TINS escaped taxation can now be
Assessed back.
II another case officials Of a national
t,art ,nsiated that their deposit Of ae-
curities ct Washington, as required by
Ia~,. to protect reserve, should be on
sef AGAINST the value Of the stock, and
n this case very prominent chairman
n. Z atate committee which expects to,
MAKE = campaign in Iowa this year
alainat the good work of the admin
i.trafion. would be the beneficiary Of
the tax lodging scheme.
The law has been worked out very
n1a,nlv as to the manner OF assessing
h.nL stock. It 10 assessed to the owner
- the stock. not to the bank, and no
,r.t4er- what bonds the bank may own,
that has nothing to do with the owner
81 the bank stock.
,T,ha .4ate administration il stopping
an 4 lot OF loopholes Of this kind and
vtth the result that the squeals are said
to BE- louder.
