Special to Tlmes-Eepublican.
Des Moiaese July Hone Rowley,
of keosauQua- has accused Mr.. Har-
Ian, OF Des Moines, curator of the His
toricaI Society with having been re-
wardea by Bes- Meines boosters with
a free trip to Europe for ais services
in putting over the capitol extension
project.
Anyone here who was familiar with
the proceedings h the legislature or
who KNOWS Harlan knows how far
tetched' and unfair such a charge IS,
but it is contortsd out of eircunl-
stances Harlan did assist the lesis-
iarure largely at its request, and after
the legislature had adjourned rs dld
go to Europe as Des Moines' repre-
Sentative of the American Civic As
ISOLATION, but the latter mission had
nothing whatever TO DO with the for
mer and was not made possible oy
any so-called boosters organization.
In a letter to Mr.. D. G. Edmundsor.
of this city he explains his work tor

Allison memorial commission as fol-
lows:
Upon the selection of a modal for
the memorial to Senator Allison, Il be-
came necessary TO point out site to-

tive. to other states than any ., the

tive to other states than any Of the
midland group.
1t has sometimes. been claimed" he
said, lin the public discussion of rail-
road questions in Iowa, that the rail-
roads pay less taxes in this state than
they do in some Of the adjoining. states.
The comparison is usually made by the
taxes paid per mile of railroad. 1t is
quite unfair to make this sort Of COM
parison, for the reason that the local
conditions in each state are not sim
liar. So long as each state taxes rail-
roads Independently, and in many in
stances upon different methods such a
comparison is misleading, and can give
no reliable information. The taxes in
each state which the railroad property
should pay depends upon the expenses
OF the state, the value Of other prop
erty, the method of assessment, the
earning capacity Of the railroads in the
several states, the economy or extrava-
gance with which the state govern
ments are conducted. and many other
controlling facts which will readily
suggest themselves A few illustra-
lions will demonstrate why such a
comparison is absolutely of no value.
The railroads in the following states
earn the following amount of gross
revenue per mile of road: Illinois, 49,
s57; Minnesota. sia.57s; Wisconsin,
s10.993: Iowa. sS,s1e.
Tn the same states the railroads
show the following amount of net
earnings per mile: Minnesota. 1919;
Illinois, SASS; Wisconsin, Salts; Iowa,
s2.075.
"Manifestly. in states where the gross
and net earnings are double the same
earnings in Iowa, the taxes paid should
| be greater.
In recent compilation made by Mr..
Polleys. of the Omaha railway, he dem
onstrates the amount of taxes paid
per $1,000 of actual property located
! in the states, giving the following re-
suit:
Iowa pays 500 for each $1,000 of
actual value; Minnesota pays $1,000 for
each $1,000 of actual value; Wisconsin
pays s12,25 for each $1,000 of actual
value.
Again. Iowa with her s5,ooo,oOo
acres of tillable land. and with prac-
tically no land that is not subject 10
cultivation, has greater gross valua-
ton OF property than either Minnesota
or Wisconsin. and. as a result. the
taxes on all property in Iowa should
be less than in adjoining states.
The estimated full value OF prop
erty for 1914 in the three states under
consideration was as follows: Iowa.
s5.S60. l01.9 75:-. Minnesota, si.4S1.537,-
$40; Wisconsin. s3.44s goo. 900.

is very much in excess Of either of the

Dies. Moinas, July 1.-THE tide OF

At the same time, the interstate COM

MANY SHOW FINE STOCK
Dairy Animals From Other States Nay
Be Brought Into Iowa For Waterloo
Dairy Exhibition.-Expset Exeep.
tional Display This Year.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July lin the opinion
Of the state veterinary department
there is no reason why the annual
dairy show at Waterloo. one Of the
great dairy events of the country,
should not be this year-despite the
foot and mouth disease and its terrible
Instantaneous Of the very best
shows ever held. There = available
for the show many OF the very finest
animals Of the country.
Iowa has not done. as in Wisconsin
and some other states, put q fence
around the state and directed that no
animals be shown at any fair from
outside the state or that have been
shown elsewhere. Iowa merely forbids
the exhibition of the herds that were
actually infected or exposed, leaving
the free territory and clean herds just
as if nothing had ever happened.
My advice is said Dr.. Gibson.
that an unusual effort be made to
bring to the big dairy show. whichzis
the pride Of the state and must be
maintained. all those animals that have
not been conspicuous before at the
shows. There are plenty of them. gIt
is true the big fancy herds will not be
there. All the better for the small
breeder who has felt that he could not
afford tc go to the show for fear he
would not have fair chance and
would in fact be overshadowed by the
big herds. Then there are a great
many men In Iowa and surrounding
states who have one animal each, or
maybe two or three. that would have
been prize winners had they been
shown III other years and who now
!. would really take the prizes even If all
the herds were present, and these
breeders will now take heart and come
out If the matter is properly present
ed to them. 1t is a great chance to
demonstrate what Iowa can do in
bringing together the dairy animals
from all over the state and other
states, one or two at time, and ito
show that the raising of the very best
dairy cattle is not confined exclusively
to the big breeders and their fancy
farms
The same situation prevails substan-
TALLY in regard to the state fair dairy
! department this year. The breeders
associations have raised the bonuses
for Iowa this year while for some Of
the states they have been withdrawn.
