Appropriations Interests Clash.
Already there is evidence of the clash
ing of interests as to certain appropria-
tions before the legislature. Tho senate
appropriations committee was urged to
Immediately pass the bill to appropriate
$4,000 to reimburse the Waterloo people
for their outlay at San Francisco and for
other exposition purposes. This was
especially urged by a large number OF
stockmen who expect TO send their herds
to the exposition II the state will pay the
freight.
Then there came before a committee
of the senate the bill to appropriate to
reimburse the small farmers of eastern
Iowa for their losses in the foot and
mouth epidemic. and Immediately those
who were pushing the exposition bill
commenced TO oppose this measure. 4
hearing has been arranged for the vet
erinarians and others who have been
! fighting the epidemic and this bill VIII
be investigated. There will also be full
investigation as to what has been done
at San Francisco.
There has been much effort on the
| part Of special Interests desiring appro,
priations to hasten consideration OF som,
of the appropriation bills and to get then
out of the way before the Legislature
really finds out how much money It has
20 spend and what demands are to be
! made. The committees are disposed tC
go slow and not permit appropriations
without full investigation.
Tax mission 90 He Urged.
| Senator Allen. chairman of the ways
and means committee. will present again
a bill for a state tax commission 10 take
up and handle the many problems relat.
ing to taxation. This bill has been con.
sidered in several session of the legisla.
ture. but has always been defeated by
the corporation inter ssts which largely
escape taxation under the present
system. There will also be urged bill
to permit cities and towns taxing the
value OF railroad terminal property
separate from the lines of road con
nected herewith. This is wanted espe-
cially by the cities which are complaining
because they are not able to tax all the
visible property in the cities. Then tho
Legislature will again pess the amend
ment TO the constitution which will per
init the state taxing all railroad ant
similar property separate from the loca
taxation. 1t is planned that In this way
the state will get all its general revenue
from this form of taxation. A humble
of other taxing bills have already beer
introduced.
