per cent on passenger fares and 90
per cent. on sleeping car fares.
These increases will go into effect,
the statement said, whether or not the

been filed, to become effective August
26 simultaneously with the enforce
ment of the new rates in the United

DEEP RIVER MERCHANT DEAD.
George Cox in Business Since Town
Was Esta hliahed.

! Special to Times Republican.
Montezuna, March 4.-Yesferday
| the body of the oldest resident Of
Deep River was laid away in the
little cemetery close to the lands oc-
cupied for nearly sixty years by this
man and his family connections.
George Cox was born in Guernsey
county. Ohio. in 1889 and came te
Poweshiek county when he was II
years OF age. His land holdings were
extensive in the neighborhood Of
Deep River.
In those days there was little
town called Dresden where a few
buildings now stand. The town was
started before there were any real
roads In the country and when the
roads did come the town was missed
! by something over mile. In this
little town Mr.. Cox was one OF the
founders of a mercantile business In
1870. where the business thrived un-
til 1884, when the Northwestern buff
branch to the coal fields and the
present town Of Deep River was laid
out on the railroad. Many of the
buildings Of Dresden were bodily
moved to the new town. The Cox
store took up new quarters in the
town and later large two story
double building was erected and in
which the business OF C. N Cox &
Company rs still conducted.
Mr.. Cox had not been actively en-
gagged in business during the past
few years but his interests have
been many and varied. He was in
terested In the grain business in
Brooklyn for number OF years. He
was interested In the operation OF
his farm and the feeding of cattle,
having a share return therefrom. For
time he had quite large holdings in
the rice country Of Louisiana. He also
was for q time interested in North
ern lands.
He was business man. quiet and
always courteous in his association
with others. The older residents tell
Of the pleasure it was to transac,
business with him.
In 1885 he was married to Miss
Catharine Funk. who also came te
the county in 1854, and their home
has since been maintained In the
community. Mrs. Cox survives as Dc
| three children, c. N. Cox, of Deer
River. who succeeded his father In
the active management of the mer.
camille business. Mrs. George Grier
of Iowa City. and Mrs. Walter Light
of West Liberty.
Mr.. Cox voted for Lincoln IN 1860
He was interested in church and
| fraternity.
Funeral services were held at tn,
home conducted by Rev. Mr. Smith
| of the Presbyterian church.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
OWNERS ARE IMMUNE FROM
USUAL PAYMENT.
NOT IN CLASS WITH
THREsHiNo MACHINES
Held TO BE Farm implement and
Therefore Not Asssssabls-Thresh-
ing Machines Taxable Whether
Privately. or Jointly Owned by
Farmers--Msny Tractors In Iowa.

Waterloo. March 4.-The farm
tractor, now so common on Iowa
farms, is farm implement and. as
such, Is exempt from taxation, &C
cording TO an opinion received by T.
j, Wenncr county attorney, who ask
ed for ruling on the subject from
the attorney generals office.
The same opinion, which is writ
ten by B. ]. Powers, an assistant in
II. NJ. Havner's office, holds that
the threshing machine, even when
used only on one farm and not OPP
Grated for him, Is not exempt from
taxation.
I'VE are inclined to have the view
that the exemptions intended by tho
statute were 70, be applied to the
useful tools and utensils needed in
farming. In this day and age the
farm tractor is OF such common
use" says the opino!n, that 1t may
be said to be one OF the necessary
and useful tools used in the farming
-EtliSAlS, anu VIC elItf llltl VI
the opinion that tractor owned by
a farmer and used by him for such
purposes, is TO be exempt from tax
alton.
We are of the opinion that the
threshing machine does not come
within the classification. since 1t is
not one OF the useful and ordinary
tools or utentiais possessed 10y farm
ers in this state. It Is only a very
small percentage OF farmers who
own such machines. Should it
later be found that the thresfins ma
chimes are owned by great major
ity of the farmers. IL may be that
ii will then be cIsssed as one Of
the ordinary farming utensils, but
the conditions at the present time
do not warrant US In holding it to
be such"
Many Tractors involved.
II il estimated that farmers in
Black Hawk county alone own and
operate 300 tractors on their farms
as a part of their ordinary farm
equipment. The price Of tractors
ranges from $500 to $1,000.
Assessors have been anxious to
know how to list farm tractors on
their rolls. Inquiries have been
made of Mr.. Wenner whose opin-
ion from reading Of the statute
and supreme court cases was that
the tractor should not be assessed
Thus far none of the ,yeighteep
township assessors has returned his
books to the county auditor In the
event that tractors have beer enc
