Des Moines, Feb. 26.-Are the certi-

that the certificates are not taxable
Any bond issued by the state is not
taxable. Some persons have erroneous
" called these certificates bonds of

doesn't provide they are taxable and
there is nothing in the court decisit MS

Practices Grow Worse.
The fact Is noted that these prac-

life OF the interstate commerce com
mission and began with the growth of
the railway business. Continuing the
Age Gazette says:
criticized for considering these dis.
ordinations in connection with the
rate advance case, since they are stu
In existence. But why did not the
commission do something about thsm
nelore? The answer is simply that the
practices in question have grown up by
insensble gradations: that until com-
parativety recently nobody really APP
pteciated either the vice In them nor
the extent to which they were develop.
ing and that when these things did be-
gin to be apprecia ted the problem pre-
scented had become so big and complex
that neither the shippers nor the COM
mission, nor the railways, nor all Of
them together, could solve it without
years Of investigation and effort."
There is no doubt that the Iowa
commission and the shippers Will very
soon be drawn into the discussion OF
the entire subject Of unfair disc, imi-
nations in whatever form they appear,
and that Iowa people will have to get
ready to take sides on the question.
