TIEsREPUBIICAN MARsHALLToWN IOWA: DECEMBER 80 1915

Iowa inasmuch as there are 126 state
and county mutuals In Iowa. The
ruling applies to those Companies
which are purely assessment compan-
les and are not operated for pecuniary
gain and whose entire income IS from
assessments.
The question arose in connection
with the Farmers Mutual Fire and
Lightning Insurance Company OF
Winneshiek county. Collector Murphy
of the internal revenue office at Du-
buque endeavored to collect income tax
from this company and the company
protested. In order to get ruling on
the question Commissioner English
wrote, to the department at Washing
ton. The department reverses the po-
sition taken by Collector Murphy.
Bridge Patent Evidences.
A mass of evidence relative to the
Luten and also the Thatcher bridge
patents Is being collected by Henry
Sampson, assistant attorney general.
Attorney Sampson Is now in New York
City taking dispositions from eminent
bridge engineers and builders who have
been in the work for many years and
who are said to have used the prin-
ciples involved in these patents in
building bridges long before any pat
ents were ever secured on them.
Considerable evidence is also Sc
cured on the Bone patents on REIN
forced concrete retaining walls. All
OF these patents are involved in cases
now pending In Iowa courts. The at
torney generals office is fighting the
validity of, these patents.
County Taxes Raised.
The first three counties to report
their tax assessments to the state au-
+, ditor show big increase in the amount
Of taxes to be raised during the COM
ing years. These are the counties OF
Ida, Greene and Emmet, which show
total of $4,000 more to be raised
next year as compared to the past
year. Greene county is building new
court house at Jefferson which &C
counts for $4,000 of this increase. The
| other two counties are making many
general improvements

With Trading Stopped.

The first time the New York stock
exchange closed was during the COM
merciaI panic OF 1873 which. original
ing in New York, swept over America.
The exchange ceased business Sept 20.
1873. and was not reopened until Sept.
80. A stringency in the money market
caused a general unsettlement Of the
stock market early in the year, and
during the summer many Wall street
houses failed. The failure Of the ia
nous firm Of Jay Cooke & fCo.Swa the
last straw, and two days later the New
York stock exchange was sordered
closed by its executive committee The
stock exchange was not again closed,
except for brief periods out Of respect
to persons Of prominence who had died,
when the war resulted in the tenn
porary suspension of business. The
stock exchange has been closed during
the funerals OF President Garfield.

Des Moines, Dec. 30. Unusually
good wages are being offered for farm
help for next season. The state free
employment bureau, which is en-
deavoring to secure farm help for far
mers turnout the state, has received
some good applications for farm help

man and his wife, the man to do
farm work and the wife to do house,
work. A tenants house would be fur
nished them and half Of the profits on

A number of farmers have offered
to pay $35 per month for farm hands.
Some of them agree to furnish a ten
ant house If the farm hand Is mar

chickens.
The bureau has more good jobs
awaiting farm help than it can fill at
the present time. Altho a persistent
effort has been made to secure appli-
cations from hands wanting work to
begin the 1st Of March, not enough
applications have come In so far to

Keokuk, Dec. 30.--A pitiful case of
destitution and suffering has been
brought to the attention of the United
Charities.

is Theodore Swing, 70 years old, who
has been a resident of this city for
some time. He is unable to secure en-

age and has been cared for by people
living in the vicinity of the river front
and who have become interested in

An official OF the United Charities

found him in front of little stove
with his feet in the oven and fully
dressed. He had on his overcoat and
hat. There was hardly any fire in the
stove, altho there was bed in the
tent, there were no sheets or blankets.
The tent was given Swing by man
living on the river front who is him
self in poor circumstances. But he is
not so unfortunate as Swing and has
been helping him SO far as possible.
