WILLING TO PAY A DOLLAR KOR RENEWAL
Mrs. Fletcher Howard Reads a Pr
a th Vain of Attending; Con
ventions f One's Pra
fesslea. Th greater part of th business session
yesterday morning of the Iowa State Phar
maceutical association was taken up In th
discussion ot ths recommendations con
tained In President Baker's annual address
of the night befor. Action, however, on
th recommendations wss deferred until
this morning's session.
The discussion showed that th recom
mendation of President Baker that th
section of ths stat pharmacy law permit
ting thi granting of certificates to grad
uates from schools and colleges Of phar
macy without examination be repealed will
undoubtedly be endorsed by the association.
On the other hand the association Is not
in accord with the president's suggestion
that ths law requiring ths paymsnt of an
anneal fee of 31 for a renewal certificate by
all pharmacists who continue In business
bs repealed. The discussion developed th
fact that a majority of th members pres
ent were In favor of ths law as It now
stood.
Prof. Teeter of ths Iowa stat university
was present and addressed the association
on the Question of granting certificates to
graduates from colleges of pharmacy with
out examination. Ha took ths ground that a
graduate from any recognised school or col
lege of pharmacy should not be required to
take an examination befor the stat beard
befor being granted a certificate. His
graduation was sufficient to entitle him
to the certificate, he contended. Prof.
Teeter did, however, express himself as
being In favor of all pharmacists serving
an apprenticeship before receiving a certifi
cate. Val mt Conventions.
An able paper by Mrs. Fletcher Howard,
wife of the secretary of the association, on
"Conventions," was read, all others papers
In ths conttst being laid over until this
morning. In her paper Mrs. Howard said
In part:
"The last fifty years hsve witnessed an
unprecedented increase In convention work.

ate as to ways and means .of furthering the
Interests of said organisations. The moral

vention of which he or she Is entitled to be

"The druggists' convention, whose work
tends to lengthen the span of human life
and alleviate the ills to which the flesh Is
heir, performs a great and beneficent mis
sion. Its value can scarcely be overes
timated, for what Is of greater good Indi
vidually than a long life, well body and
peaceful mlndT" , . ,
In closing her paper' Mrs. Howard gave
an eloquent account of the semi-centennial
convention of ths American Pharmaceutical
association held In Philadelphia last year.
Chairman G. W. Fed er son of Harlan of
th ' committee on "Pharmacy" read a
paper In which he divided pharmacy Into
three clasres theoretical, practical and
commercial. The theoretical he said should
be left to ths professor or teacher, tho prac
tlcal tn the manufacturer, while the retail
druggist. If ha wished to make a success of
his business, should confine himself to the
commercial.
nevisws Trad. laterests.
J. M. Llndlsy, chairman of th committee
on "Trade interests, contributed an ex
haustive review ot the subject, taking the
history of pharmacy back to Ui early
ages. Three hundred years ago, hs said.
th business of ths .pharmacist suffered
then, as It does now, from ths Inroads ot
the grocer, general merchant, physician and
the quack. Referring to tne sal of drugs
by other than registered druggists, he said:
"In this state proprietary and domestic
drugs free from poison or Intoxicating
liquor may bs sold . by any one. In a
sparsely settled district, where drug stores
are few and far between, such a permis
sion to a general store to keep domestic
remedies for ths convenience of .the gen
sral publlo might be an excusable conces
sion. But tn a stats as wsfl supplied witk
drug stores as Iowa Is at present no such
publlo exigency exists, and all proprietary
and domestic drugs and remedies should bs
confined within ths bounds of ths eefltlmat
drug store."
Mr. Llndley suggested ths repeal by th
legislature of retail Itinerant venders' privi
leges, which If dons hs said would restore
between 3600,000 and 3800,000 worth of busi
ness to ths regular retail drug trade of the
state annually. He also suggested that the
druggists of Iowa adopt a uniformity ot
prices for all drugs and prescriptions to be
fixed by a scheduls. He further recom
mended that an effort be made to secure
restriction by legislation to the regular drug
trade of the sals of all articles that belong
to th drug business. Including proprietary
and domestio remedies.

A Woarfl Feat.
How Is it possible for a man to perform
Dlavolo's marvelous and daring feat ot
"looping the loop" on a bicycle, which Is
now astonishing tho country as a featur
of th Forepaugh-Sella elrousT
Dlavolo's own account of how It feels to
lids the loop and how hs cams to under
take ths feat Is thus told by him:
""Given the nerve, a thorough acquaint
ance with the action of a bicycle under
very high speed on an Irregular surface
and ability to think quickly, my feat Is
really not very difficult Ths chief danger
Is from the Immense , pressure exerted
against ths wall of th loop. In ordsr to
obviate this I uss a hard tire bicycle. My
nearest approach to a catastrophe was
when some of tho balls in ths bearings
broke and by resistance lowered my mo
mentum. Now I never take ths run with
out opening and examining all of ths bear
ings, "It Is a peculiar fact that one does not
realise that one is turning completely over.
It Is mors like running swiftly up a steep
hill and down ths other slds. It Is neces
sary to havs the track perfectly level, a
banked (rack having proved a hindrance,
so that ona has to be quick In steering. If
a straight course were taken ths wheel
would run off ths track near the top of th
circle. It requires quickness to turn at the
right moment under a 'speed of forty miles
an hour, but It has become easy to ms.
"I feel no nervousness now, though the
nervousness of the large audience on th
first night of the circus the first time I
had dons It before an sudlencs I felt dis
tinctly. The feat Itself, however, did not
bother me,
"I first ran ths loop on sn experimental
track. The track wss In some respects Im
perfect, but the trial was completely suc
cessful. "I was led to undertake ths feat because
I was thoroughly familiar with ths loop as
an electrician. I was associated with Ar
thur J. Pre sco tt. tho Inventor of tho loop
as applied to human transit and familiar
ity with It mads ms willing to take th
risk."

Dv. Sterns Formally Accepts Presi

aad Meets with Trasteee
ot lastltatloa.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
DE8 MOINES, July tt. (Special.) Al
though the matter of assessments has not
yet been concluded by the executive coun
cil the statesofflcers havs commsnced to fig
ure on the probable tax levy for the cur
rent year. The state must raise about
3X000,000 as against a little more than this
last year. The tax levy last year was 31
mills on an assessment of 3372,000,000. This
yssr ths assessment will go up to nearly
(0,000,000, which will enable the council
to reduce the stats tax levy for general
purposes to about 3 2 mills on the dollar, or
a little less. The executive council has ths
mstter of equalising assessments on farm
lands and personal property under consid
eration. The hearing on that subject has
been completed, but no definite action has
been taken by the council. This will corns
at a data a Uttlo later.
The hearing of the state executive Council
on the railroad assessment question was
commenced today. The council has tem
porarily laid aside the matter of real es
tate assessments. Representatives ot most
of the railroads were present today. The
most elaborate argument was by W. W.
Baldwin of Burlington for the Burlington
railroad. Mr. Baldwin contended that the
assessment last year on ths Burlington
was too high; that the 367,000 a mile valua
tion on the main line was too much for ths
entire construction expense from the be
ginning would not amount to 360,000 a mile,
and that ths branches are not worth the
320.000 a mile valuation. He cited some
Items of actual cost ss the line from Fort
Madison to Otturawa, bought for 38,600 a
mile and assessed at 313,800; the Humeston
ex Shenandoah, bought on a basis of 30,600,
but assessed at 314,438; the Keoukuk
Western, bought for 313,300 a mile, but as
sessed at $23,600. He figured out that the
1,100 miles of branch In ths stats was as
sessed seven times greater than Its capitali
sation of earnings at ( per cent. He pro
tested against any assessment based on net
earnings, for the reason that It would bs
taking the earnings at their highest point.
He pointed out that last year It was shown
that land was paying taxes on 7 per oent of
its net earning capacity, while railroads
were paying 10 per cent. As for the greater
net earnings this year this was largely dus
to economies In management
A. S. Dudley, for the Milwaukee, made
an argument to show that while the reports
from counties on land assessments showed
they bad been assessed at 80 per cent yet
the poorer land was sold and for other
manifest errors the percentage was nearer
75 per cent This being the cass real es
tate 1 not assessed any nearer Its actual
value this year than last. He gave Azures
to show that while tbe net cost of operation
naa oeen reduced his company had nald out
31.8S0.r00 more fot tabor and 32.850,000 more
ror supplies last year than ths year be
fore. ' "
Among others present- st the hearing were
Judge Cook, for ths Milwaukee; Carroll
