TAX LEVY WILL BE HIGHER
Prospects of an Increase Over tho Last
Year's Figures.
FOUR MILLS ADDITIONAL IS LIKELY
I'hmiiee ( oinnilftce of the City Conn,
ell ,imv llns llio Stutter In Chnrne
nml .Must MhWc n Report
Very Soon.
Tho tax levy for the ensuing year Is now
up to tho city counrll llnnnce committee, and
that body hold Its first meeting yesterday
afternoon to arrange tho details of the
ordinance. Tho levy has to bo made on tho
samo valuation ns last year, which wns
J3.302.100, and a levy of 41',4 mills brought
Into the city treasury $137,019.60, Tho In
dlcatlona aro that tho lovy will havo to ho
Increased this year and tho flnanco com
mittee will probably recommend that It be
15 mills. New conditions am present, which
call for larger amounts In some of tho funds,
noticeably tho Improvement fund, and as yet
tho committee has boon nnablo to suggest
any place where a cut can bo mado from
last year's figures.
Tho general fund levy Is limited to 10
mills, which was called for last year, and
theio Is no possibility of a cut being maOo
this year. Tho Income from a 10-mlll lovy
amounts to $33,021. nnd out of this tho run
ning expenses of tho municipality havo to
bo met.
Last year I mills was levied for the gas
and street lighting fund and the same
will, it Is expected, bo called for this year,
although If necessary another mill can be
levied under tho law for this purpose.
Tho water fund levy Is limited to G mills
nnd even this Is Insufficient to meet the
water rental tho city has to pay, and the
deficiency has to bo met by nn appropria
tion from the general fund. Tho limit will
havo, accordingly, to ho levied for this fund.
Tho trustees of tho public library havo
asked for n levy of 1V4 mills this year, as
against 1 mill last year. Tho flnanco com
mittee will. It Ib expected, refuse to certify
to more than a 1-mlll levy for this fund.
Tho park fund levy asked for by the park
commissioners this year Is 1 mill, tho same
as last year.
Tho sewer fund levy last year was l',fc
mills, bringing In $4,033.60, nnd on July 1
last tho balance In this fund was $3,018.5$.
Some of the aldermen nro In favor of lop
ping off tho half mill for this fund, while
others oppose It on the grounds that In the
event of an overflow from Indian creek or
heavy rains, whereby tho sewer system ot
tho city might bo damaged, It would tako nil
tho money In tho fund for tho necessary re
pairs, i
Last year 1 mill was levied for tho Judg
ment fund, which Is now practically ex
hausted. Thcro aro several Judgments out
standing against tho city and a number ot
dnmago suits pending, and It Is more than
likely thnt tho levy this year for this fund
will have to bo raised to 2 mills at tho
least.
Tho Improvement fund Is another place
whero tho levy this year will havo to bo
Increased, Last year 2 mills wns levied for
this purpose, bringing In $6, 604. 80, nnd the
balance en hnnd July 1 last was $3,0S2.3!.
With the possibility of tho city having to
bear a proportion of tho cost of tho paving
on thoso streets on which the abutting
property cannot stand tho assessment, It
looks to tho finance committee as If the
levy In this fund will have to be raised to
tho limit, which is C mills.
Tho levy for the brldgo fund last year was
1 mill nnd this amount will sufilcc, It Is be.
Ilevcd, for the next year, and thcro will be
no chango In the levy.
Tho Intersection, paving nnd grading
bonds fund received G mills last year, the
intersection sower 3 mills, the bond loan
fund I mills and tho bonded debt fund 3
mills, nnd there is little possibility of any
chango or decrease In tho levy for these
funds, us tho usual nmountB will bo re
quired to meet tho demands.
Tho flnanco committee, has to mako Its
report within tho next few days, ns the
lovy has to be certified to tho county
auditor by September 1.

not to sell him liquor or to permit him to
remain In tho saloon. Mrs. Suit states
further that owing to her husband squan
dering hla earnings in defendant's saloon
she was compelled to support herself nnd

IOWA OFFICIALS DISAGREE
Members of Ezecutive Council Havo Dif

CONTROVERSY OVER EXPRESS COMPANIES
State Fair of Invrn Opened on Krldny
and I.nrffe .Vuinlier of Workmen
Arc Kmplojcil Putting Klnlnh
liiB Toiichm on Kxhllilt.
DES MOINES. Aug. 24. (Special Tele
gram.) A bitter controversy animated the
stato executive council today during Ita as-
sessmcnt of tho express companies' prop
erty In Iowa under the Cheshire law.
Governor haw, Auditor Merrlam and Sec
retary Dobson formed a majority of tho
council, as against Treasurer Herriott, who
voted no or not nt all except on one
proposition. Tho companies wero finally
assessed per mile ns follows for the levy
ing of taxes In Iowa: Wells-Fargo, $100;
Pacific. $90; (Jrcat Northern, $148; Amer
ican, $132; United States, $9G; Adams,
$100.
The controversy related to the reduc
tion ot tho visible assets of the companies
on account of securities nnd bonds owned
by them but used exclusively outside of
their business, us shown by their sworn re
ports, accompanied by allldavlts. Treas
urer Herriott and Senator Cheshire, the
author of the bill, insisted that the com
panies could liavo no securities which wero
not used In their business and therefore
they could not bo allowed this offset, which
amounted to about $23,000,000 for all com
panies. Herriott proposed an assessment
of $359.40 per mllo on tho American, nn
assessment of $123.35 on the United States,
$2S5.1C on tho Adams and $162 on the Great
Northern. Herriott did not vote for or
against the $100 assessment on the Wells
Fargo and ho voted for tho $9G assessment
on tho Pacific.
Tho stato fair opened Friday. Fully 500
workmen wero busily engaged all day In
putting the finishing touches on the va
rious exhibits, over 300 of this number
being employed In the machinery nnd farm
Implement department. This department
has this year four times the amount of
machinery exhibited In any preceding year.
Every possible foot of floor space Is oc
cupied and If there were additional build
ings they could be rented In a very short
time. Tho rondltlon of affairs In the ma
chinery department is only Indicative of
tho condition In every department of tho
exposition. In no tlmo In the history of
tho Stato Fair association has there been
the interest manifested that has been
Bhnwn this year and If tho weather is
favornblo there will bo crowds In attend
ance that put tho other years to shame
In comparison.

Afterward ho changed It to a republican

crusado against the existing republican form
of govornment. recommending n kingdom In
an editorial given a prominent place on th
editorial page. Tho artlclo has caused wide
Comment nnd created a stir In political
headquarters of various states. Tonight's
Evening Capital says:
It Is not n plcnsant tnsk In attempting to
explain to the outside world the true mtl
tudo of the Olobe, to be compelled to dis
cuss tho fuel that Mr. Clmvennes, the
editor, while ho has not a known nemy.
has oneo been an Inmate of an Inside

being released by the express understand

igoncles of politics makes this disclosure
neces4ary. Republicans In other states,
who havo been horrllied nt the widespread
quotation given these editorials, ura enti
tled to know tho facts nnd we believe the
law of the land permits the Capital, with
out malice, to state these facts, because
In no other way can theso unrcasonublo
nnd perfectly Indereiislblo editorials bo

Mr. Chavannes styles himself nn Inde
pendent republican. His paper Is quoted
as having a circulation of but 1,700 In the
country districts and It has llttlo Influenco
hero. Talk about tho paper being a life
long and lending republican paper Is ridic
ulous. In 1S96 It was for Ilryan and free
silver.
