DES MONIES, July 1.-THE state
executive council began its Work as
a board Of review yesterday TO con-
slider the valuations of property OF
the state for taxation purposes. AS
is the usual custom, the council Will
first pass upon the property OF the
railroads, express, telephone and tele-
graph companies and similar pubic
utilities. These corporations get their
reports in early, whereas the vaiua-
lions from the counties sent in by
county auditors are usually delayed
Although the counties not getting
in their reports by July / are sub
ject TO a fine, there were still five
counties out Saturday. After decid-
ing on the valuations TO be fixed for
the railroads and other public utili-
ties properties the state council will
take up the reports of the county
auditors and consider the values re-
ported on land, city property. live
stock. personal property, moneys and
credits and all other property which
is subject to assessment
Taxes Must Be Raised.
It is generally recognized that the
state taxes will have to be raised
about 25s mills this year. in order
to meet the appropriations authorized
by the last legislature, The tax
levy will, therefore. be around Z
mills for state purposes. as against
433 mills. the levy for the past bien.
NAL period.
In the present biennial period.
starting July 1 of this year and end
ing June 80, 1919. the state must
raise $4,000. 900 by direct taxes. In
addition to this it is anticipated that
some s7,O00,000 will come through
fees.
In the last biennial period, ending
June 80 of this year. the state raised
over sS.ooo.o00 by direct taxation.
The last legislature authorized APP
preparations amounting to $1,000 600
the first year of the new biennial
period and s6.oo0,000 the second year
To produce this amount on the pres
emit valuations of Iowa property will
require a levy of about mills.
The biggest increase in the cost Of
running the state during the next two
years, as compared to the biennial
period just closed, is the 100000
war appropriation.
Money for Guards.
Since July 1, when the Iowa ma
tional guard recruits were called out
for training at their home camps, the
state has been expending about s10,-
600 per day for the pay and mainten-
ance of these men. This expenditure
will be continued until the men are
mustered into service. It is expect
ed, however. that the government
eventually will repay this to the

OF authority between himself and
Mayor Thompson, with whose aid the
Peoples Council of America for
Democracy and Peace was able to
hold a meeting here yesterday after
It had been interdicted by the gov

to be at Lake Geneva, Wis!
The Peoples Council Of America for
Democracy and Terms of Peace held
their convention in Chicago yesterday
with the aid and protection OF Mayor
Thompson, while state troops, entrain'
cd in Springfield by Governor Low
6en's order, were rushing to Chicago
under orders to prevent the holding OF
the convention.
Not more than 300 malcontents
were mustered for the widely adver-
tised paciflst meeting. Many OF these
have left Chicago today and many
more were local socialists and agita-
tors.
MAYOR AIDS PAclFisrs.
Mayor Thompsons protection OF
the anti-war forces and the delay oc-
casioned in getting the state troops to
the special train resulted in a tempOr-
ary defent for Governor Lowden, the
state government, and the state coun-
Gil of defense.

the West Side auditorium, from which

and all the forces now supporting the
war program Of President Wilson.
While these inflammatory and anti
war orations we're being delivered the
troop train was speeding over the
prairies more than sixty miles an hour.
TROOPS TOO LATE.
This information was communicated
to the convention leaders, and they
openly laughed and jeered.
As soon as they had definite infor-
nation from their runners that the
troops were on the way they smiled
and looked at their watches. Then
they decided that they would finish
the work of the convention In time to
permit the "disorgonauts' to disperse
to their several hotels.
Mayor Thompson early yesterday
morning took personal charge of the
police department and countermanded
all orders given Chief of Police
Schuettler by Governor Lowden Sat-
urday.
GOVERNOR is DEFiED.
The mayor talked pretty plainly to
the chief, 1t was reported, and told
him to order all of his men to LAY
