Des Moines, Oct. 19.-Attorney Gen
eral Havner has ordered a recount of
the prohibitory constitutional amend
ment ballot. Every county attorney IN
the state is being wired to that effect.
In his telegram to county attorneys
the attorney general says:
Concerning special election held
Oct. Is, l call your attention to code
section III, which requires the can
vass of the votes by the county super
visors instead of a canvass Of the re-
turns as provided in code section 1l49
applicable to general elections. I'm
less such a canvass of votes has been
made your board should be recon-
vened and canvass of the votes thus
made which means n recount Of all
ballots voted in the county. A writ
ten opinion follows"
The instruction by the attorney gen.
eral means that the boards of super
visors in every county in the state
must recount every ballot cast Monday.
Whether or not it is believed suffi-
cient changes will be found to over
come the wet majority has not been
stated by the attorney general or by
dry workers.
Many county boards simply canvass
the returns as certified by election
boards and do not count the ballots.
This practice does not comply with the
law. in the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral. The votes must 1e counted as
that is what the law means, he de-
clares.
In precincts where the vote is close
or where there is any question as to
whether or not the vote was irregular
it is probable the representatives OF
the dry faction will be on hand to Wit

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 19.-The state rail-
way commission has fixed Oct. &c as
the date to hold a hearing on the
abandonment Of the branch line of the
interurban railroad which runs from
Moran to Woodward. The interurban
company is also asking the railroad
commission to annul its order requir-
ing an overhead bridge be put in at
Rogers crossing.
This branch line. which is about five
miles in length, is a spur of the inter-
urban line operating between Des
Moines and Perry. The main line OF
this road is the line to Camp Dodge.
The company claims if it takes up its
Moran W. odward branch line track 1t
will use the rails in double tracking
it's line to Camp Dodge.
The people of Woodward are pre-
pared to fight any move to give up this
lime. Senator McColl. member of the
state board of control, declares that
this branch line pays we'll. that 1t is
economical to operate and that 1t does
a good passenger business and big
freight business.
It is also claimed by Woodward
citizens that they donated 1oney and
others donated right of-way, thus ODE
eating the road to keep up its services

lBy E. G. Dousherty.l

Washington, Oct. 19.-Within the
next two weeks the war is going to be
brought much nearer home to the ave-
rage citizen. The new war taxes. or
most of them, will be in effect then,
and the effect of the war on the pock-

The income tax, taking 2 per cent OF
the incomes of all single men receiving
more than $1,000 a year and the IN
comes of married men receiving more
than $4,000 a year will be felt later.
In addition to the postage ana
amusement taxes, the latter taking
cent for each 10 cent picture show ad-
mission and 10 cents on every dollar
paid for theater tickets. here are some
of the new taxes that will hit the hard
est:
Tax of s cents on each 800 of life
insurance and l cent on each dollar

Three per cent on graphophone rec
ords.
Two per cent on chewing gum.

Smokers will cost more when dealers
begin to apply the new taxes. Inc new
taxes range from 81 to 81 per thousand
on cigars and from so cents to sl.20 q
thousand on cisarets.
!, drinking costs will mount up 20 per
cent so that it will cost more than ever
to attempt to beat the prohibitory law
in Iowa. There Is an additional tax
on the soft and medium beverages as
we'll as on hard liquor.
The new tax law. it is estimated
will raise $685., 100000 this year in

ing the successful tlotation of the pond
