HOYNE CALLS FORTY-SEVEN IN PROBE INTO
ALLEGED TAX-FIXING, ETC, MESS


Acme Metal Ceiling Co. men will
tell, if they can, why "out of bust
ness" was written on their assess
ment page at the same time they an
swered phone calls of investors and
said they are strictly in business sell
ing goods, with the old sign up in
front.
Malfeasance in Office and perjury
are the two leading crimes on which
indictments will be returned. The
law is that tax officials must force
each taxpayer to make sworn state
ments on how much property he
owns and how much it is worth. The
property owner who refuses to make
a sworn schedule can be arrested and
fined 5000 by action of any member
of the Board of Assessors or Board of
Review.
"Malfeasance in office could be
committed either through failure of
the highest officials to require sworn
schedules or failure of deputy assess
ors to report unsworn schedules"
said an assistant states attorney,
''The law is also clear that if officials
accept a sworn schedule which on the
face of a comparison with a field
mans report indicates totally false
squeezing down of property values,
those officials are guilty of malfeas-
ance.
'The state law is easy in this re-
spect, however, as the penalties are
merely fines ranging from 5000 to
$4,000. Tax dodgers and tax Off
Gals must have had hand in writ
ing this state law"

payers are called before the grand
jury tomorrow. No tax officials have
been sent for as yet by States Atty
Hoyne. The plan seems to be to find
out all about perjury, jugglery and
trickery in the tax-fxing without Civ
ing any high official chance to tes-
tify and so gain immunity if evil
dence of malfeasance in office is
found.
Before Hoyne gets through with
his available 10000 witnesses on tax
fixing, he will call coal company men
to tell what they know about loop
skyscrapers getting their taxes cut
in exchange for giving contracts to
big coal company that has power on
the Board of Review. And coffee men
will tell what they know about taxes
knocked off to boost the coffee bust
ness.
VIM. J. Livingston, tea and coffee
man at 1856 N. State ST., will tell what
he knows about whether Thomas ].
Webb, Board of Review member, uses
his drag as a tax official to get bust
ness for the Puhl-Webb coffee con-
Germs, 626 w. Randolph Hotels, res
taurants and railroads who buy coffee
from Webb have had their taxes re-
duced, according to Livingston.
Webb denies any increase of business
coming to his company since he went
on the board.
Mrs. Julius Rosenwald will be
called to explain why a tax payment
of more than $1,000 was Topped off
her. The testimony of Roy o. West
and Fred Block will come in. The
two review board men swore in Judge |
Olson's court they had a clear and
perfect right to assess Sears-Roe- |

come mandatory until year from July
it Is necessary that persons interested
in educational work shall know, at as
early date as possible, just about
what Is going to be expected OF appli-
cants for teachers certificates at that
time. After July. 1918, it will be
necessary for the state board Of ex-
aminers to include In all lists OF ques-
ticns for teachers examinations qucr-
les in regard to the subjects enumer-
ated. Now what is going to be re-
quired Of applicants for certificates?
The problem is real difficult one
How much will be required Of male
applicant for certificate on the subject
of domestic science? What lessons in
sewing, for instance. shall be exacted
from a man who wants to teach? To
what extent VIII the women teachers
be expected to know all about animal
husbandry? These indicate the pecul-
lar difficulties II the problem.
Inasmuch as for many years rel-
ance must be placed upon women for
teaching these various subjects 1t is
going to be hard to decide just how to
frame up the examinations so as not
to discourage a good many worthy
teachers. It Is planned, however, to
work out the problem so that in all
the places where preparation Is being
made for teaching such instruction
may be given as will fit the teachers for
the work expected Of them.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 5.--Attorneys in
terested in the big legal battle over
concrete bridge patents learned with
some pleasure Of the success of the
law suit just decided in the federal
court at Kansas City last week, in
which an effort to compel payment OF
royalty to the holders of patents failed
The case was submitted in February
and has just been decided against the
claimants under the patents.
The suit in federal court here in
volving the fate of the patents is near
ing head. This is the suit against
the Marsh Engineering Company on
claim Of infringement in the building
of a bridge at Blue Earth. MINI. the
dispositions for the claimant have no"
been taken and those for the defense
are under way.
In this case, originally there was
claim of infringement OF eight patents
held in Indianapolis, but it has finally
been sifted out so that only four are
involved, and in all only twelve OF the
propositions in those patents.
Iowa Party to Defense.
The defense, in which the state OF
Iowa is a party, will make a st1ons
stand first to the effect that the bridge
erected does not infringe any OF the
patents or any part OF the patents; and
secondly, that all OF the various ana
sundry devices and methods on when
claim for patent was made were IN
common use prior to the taking out OF
the patent, hence not patentabie, ana
the patents therefore void as to these
devices.
l, is expected that the DISPOSITIONS in
the case will be completed in the early
spring so that arguments may De had
on this case before summer. 1t is re-
garded as the most important case that
has come to the courts affecting these
