Dies Moines. Sept. 11.-That every
where the problem Of taxation is an
increasingly difficult one and there is
sin most of the states, like in Iowa, a
fstrong forward movement in the di-
'rection Of real reform, is shown by a
late report on tax legislation in the
Various states and tax amendments
pending.
Iowa has two lines of advance: A
pending amendment to the constitution
tospermit of classification of property
for taxation, and q report of a special
tax committee Of inquiry pointing out
the need of legislation to secure uni
1ormity and equality under the present
system An immense impetus has been
added to this movement by the recent
drastic work of the administration in
equaiizing in strict conformity to the
statute for the first time in all Iowa
history.

Disturber I'LL, Now Being Tried

ENGINES ARE REMARKABLE
Parts Were Made in Different
Parts Of Country-Two
Big Motors.
ENGINES ARE REMARKABLE

The challenger for the British fnterna-
tional Trophy. Disturber III, Is now tun-
ing up In British waters close TO where
the defenders are being tried out Amer
lea will this year be represented by only
one boat. but II that one can be made TO
run properly she will make a strong bid
for the prize and many think she will
win. The Disturber III. was built this
year for Commodore James A. Pugh OF
Chicago and In the most powerful craft
ever sent after the cup. The hull was de-
signed by Fauber and was built by
Charles Swanson under the personal SUI
pervlsion Of Commodore Pugh. This hull
has Ave steps. II is double planked Of
cedar and mahogany. with oiled silk be-
tween the wood. At the sides the hull Ia
1915 inch thick. and the bottom plnnkins
Ia half an inch in thickness. In order TO
reduce skin friction the boat Is ftted
with pumps which force air under che
planes.
The remarkable part OF this boat, how
ever. IL It's engines. They we're built In
Ave months and different parts were made
in shops all over the country. The cast
ings were made In Waterbury and bored
in Cleveland. The crank shafts, "a feet
long, were turned In Brooklyn from solid
billets of chrome nickel vanadium steel
which came from Reading, Pa The pis-
tons were made OF magnalium In New
York and weigh i've pounds each. The
gears were cut in Providence and the
aluminium crank cases were cast In Cleve-
land. After all these parts were ready
II was no easy Job TO assemble them. but
the task Was done and the boat Is now
tuning UP.
The cylindere. cast in pairs, are s% inch
bore and IN inch stroke There are
twelve cylinders In each motor, and these
two motors are to develop 800 horse power
each and turn up $500 revolutions a
minute.
-Four spark plugs are used In each cylin-
| der 20 insure burning up the charge In the
shortest possible time. These plugs are
| arranged two in the valve cap and two
/ receiving current from different magnetos.
| Four sparks are fired simultaneously in
each cylinder There are twelve marnetos
and six specially designed carbureters.
| The boat has twin propellers 35 inches
In diameter by 40 inches pitch. and It has
! two rudders.
Commodore Pugh has with him Charles
| Swanson, the builder of the hull
August Dunenberv. brother of the de-
sgner OF the engines. and Henry Sutleens
the rnechanician.
| II the Dsturber 10 successful che will
have done wonders. She has gone over a
practically untried boat, and until she
Is tried out IN rBitish waters never

miles an hour At about half speed.
