TAXING WATER FRANCHISE
City Council In.trc.ota Auditor to Collect
for City on Iti V.'lue.
COMPANY INSISTS THAT IT IS EXEMPT
Outa-olna- Cooncll Derides It is Too
Late to Do Anything; Toward For
ring the Electric Wires
I'nder Groasd,
Is the franchise of the city water works
company subject to ' assessment for the
purposes of city taxation? The company
contends that under the provisions of its
franchise ordinance It Is not, while on the
other hand a majority of the city council
took the position that it Is. The question
was brought up yesterday morning at a
session of the committee of the whole of
the city council, which met to clean up
such matters aa were In Its hands before
the final meeting Saturday night.
In making the assessment for the pres
ent year, the city council, sitting as a
Board of Review, raised the assessment
of the water works company $40,000 by as
sessing Its franchise this much. County
Auditor Innes appeared before the commit
tee of the whole yesterday to ascertain If
It was Intended that this assessment upon
the company's franchise should be subject
to city taxes.
George 8. Wright, attorney for the water
works company, while admitting that the
city had the right under the Iowa statute
to tax franchises, It could not assess that
of the water works company for city taxes
because of Its contract. Section S of the
ordinance granting the water works com
pany a franchise, passed In January, 1S81,
provides that In consideration for the com
pany furnishing water free of charge to
the public schools, city buildings, engine
and hose houses, public fountains and for
flushing sewers, the city hereby agrees to
exempt all the property of said company
used directly In the operation of Its water
works from municipal taxes In said city.
Several of the aldermeit took the position
that the franchise could not be classed ib
"property used directly In the operation of
the waterworks" and therefore could bo
made subject to municipal taxation. At
torney Wright, on the other hand, con
tended that the water works company
could not operate without the franchise
and that therefore the franchise was In
fact part of Its property used directly In
the operation of Its water works.
Decides to Tax Franchise. (
The aldermen held a protracted discus
sion over the question, several Insisting
that when the' assessment was made on
the franchise. It was understood that It
was for the express purpose of taxing It
for municipal purposes. Finally a motion
of Alderman Cnsper, seconded by Alder
man Tlnley, declaring It to be the sense
and understanding of the committee that
It was the intention to assess the franchise
of the water works company for city tax
ation, and that the auditor be Instructed
to charge up city taxes upon S10.000, the
taxable valuation of the franchise, was
carried. Aldermen McDonald and Olson
alone voting against It.
The assessment books for 1903 In the
county auditor's office show that the total
actual 'value of the real estate of the
water works company was listed at J148,6"2
and Its personal property at 1660, making a
total of 1149,312, the taxable value on which
It was taxed being a fourth of this,
namely, 137,328. The books do not show
that any assessment was made on ma
chinery, mains or franchise. No assess
ment was made for city taxes.
The ordinance Introduced over a year
ago requiring all telegraph, electric light
and other wires, except trolley wires, to
be placed underground In the central part
of the city, as was required of the tele
phone company, was resurrected. The or
dinance has been In the hands of a special
committee, and Alderman Lougee asked
some pertinent questions as to the reason
of the committee In not making a report
before this. Alderman Lougee called at
tention to the large number of new poles
which have, recently been erected along
Broadway by the Western Union Tele
graph company and declared that the com
pany before doing o must have come to
some definite understanding with the com
mittee. On some of the downtown business
Blocks. Alderman Lougee declared, the
Western Union had almost erected a
"fence" of poles and that It was time the
city took some steps to mitigate this nui
sance. Realising that tt was now too late
In the day to take any action on the pro
posed ordinance, the committee decided to
refer It to the Incoming council, with the
recommendation that It give the proposed
measure Its earnest consideration.
The matter of paving lower Broadway
was left to the Incoming council to wrestle
with.

ItEFOIt M 1 THE LEIiial.ATI RE.
Effort Bring Made to (nt Down Ex
penses of Pntsre Sessions.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 3n (Special.) In
view of the fact that the members of the
present general assembly of Iowa expect to
hold another session, or that of the thirty
first general assembly, on account of the
almost certain adoption of the constitu
tional nmendment providing for biennial j
elections, inev regaru ii ua '"nwuj
that they should be the ones to institute
reforms In regard to the legislature Itself.
They have nlso become convinced that sonic
reform is necessary. The committee on
retrenchment and reform has ready for con
sideration a bill which will revolutionise
the Incidental expenses of the legislature,
particularly relating to employes. The
present system Is the result of a steady
growth In the direction- of extravagance
and "graft." It Is not duo to any doslre
on the part of any member that tho state
should be the victim of politics, nor could
it be expected that nny ono legislature
should reform Itself. But that fact is that
the employes of the legislature outnumber
the members. As euch legislature comes to
organization It finds precedents set nnd
the claimants for positions arc so numerous
that It Is hard to make any change. Each
legislature Is fully organized on tho old
basis before the members can know any
thing about the real situation.
The statutory committee on retrenchment
and reform, composed of the chairmen of
the three leading committees in each house,
will provide In tho bill that the doorkeep
ers shnll be under the direction of the ser-geant-at-urms,
nnd there shall he no chief
doorkeerjer. There is no difference In the
doorkeepers, In fact, but the sergeant-at-arms
hns no control over them. It Is prob
able that the pages will be selected by the
sergeant-at-arms also, so that he may
better control them. Then as to the jan
itors and other helpers of various kinds,
they will be selected, not by the general
assembly, but by the custodian of the capl
tol. and when he desires that certain work
shall be done the extra employes will not
send the custodian to the members to find
out If It can be done. This will apply also
to the elevator men who are needed extra
during the session and to the document
clerks of all kinds.
Another reform will come In the matter
of the selection of the committee clerks.
They will be selected with referenco to
competency, und It Is probable that all, or
nearly all, will be stenographers. There
are now forty-five committee clerks In each
house. The Idea of having practically one
committee clerk for each senator and ono
for each two representatives Is so ridicu
lous that the members feel almost ashamed
of the record; and yet It Is a notorious fact
that there Is much of the time that the leg
islature Is short of clerical help nnd mem
bers find it Impossible to get their work
done by competent persons and promptly.
There are many of the clerks who do very
little during the session and who are, In
fact, away most of the time. There are
others who are so Incompetent that mem
pere give them aa little work as possible.
Jn short, most of the work must be done
in fact by a small percentage of the clerical
force, merely by those willing and compe
tent ones who have not tried to work the
graft. The new law will provide for less
than thirty, clerks In each house and they
will be competent persons. For each of
six or eight of the leading committees a
clerk will be assigned, and the remainder
will be assigned to committee rooms with
orders to do all the committee work ac
complished in those rooms. Then they will
be assigned to members for typewriting and
letter writing, so that all members will be
treated alike. The work will be better
done by half as many clerks.
Another reform contemplated is In the
matter of pay of the employes. The major
portion of the employed force gets 3 a
day. The chief clerk and assistants and
the enrolling and engrossing clerks, bill and
file clerks, get 5 a day. But It Is proposed
to raise the pay of the chief clerk to at
least 37.60 a day. It was formerly $7 a
day. In some states It is as much as $10
a day. The chief clerk and the secretary
of the senate both have positions of great
responsibility and they are required to
work long hours. But the chief clerk and
the secretary do their work and get the
same jmy 'as an engrolng clerk, for in
stance, who performs work which could
as well be done by any Intelligent young
woman who can copy, and who works but
a few hours a day.
The reforms suggested will cut the total
expenses of the legislature for help of
various kinds nearly In halves. Instead of
$270 a day for the extras, It will be less
than $m
Another change may be made that will
greatly facilitate the work of the legisla
ture. The membership of the committees
will be reduced and probably some of the
committees will be abolished. Committees
like ways and means, appropriations, ju
diciary, banking and railroads, have twenty-eight
members each; then a group like
agriculture with twenty each, and the
smallest, like federal relations. Industrial
schools and the like, have eight each. The
senate committees are In proportion. It
Is proposed that the largest committees
Bhall have about fifteen, or perhaps thir
teen, which Is the limit In New York and
other states, and the smaller committees
not more than five. With the committee
membership reductd one-half ' better work
In committees will be done. As It Is now
If there Is any real work to be done In
the revision of bills In committees a sub
committee must be named, and this Is
done quite often. The more Important
members are so burdened with committee
work and their committees eVinflict bit much
that It frequently happens that the per
sonnel of a committee changes from day
to day in actual work. Then there are
committees that may be abolished or con
solidated with others, such as judicial dis
tricts, congressional districts, represent;),
tlve districts, senatorial districts, college
for blind. Industrial school, deaf school,
horticulture, animal Industry, domestic
manufactures and orphans' home.
On the whole, the plans being made for a
real reform about the legislature are such
that they will commend themselves to
members' and their constituents as emi
nently proper.

ANTI-PASS BILL IS UP IN THt SENATE
Escapes Defeat by One Vole and Thea

Dropped for Present.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 30. (Special.) The
house of representatives today approved
the scheme of having the state of Jpwa
establish a sanitarium for the treatment
of tuberculosis and cure of persons af
flicted with consumption. The bill carries
an appropriation of $T0,000 to start the
work and it Is yet to pass the senate. Tho
bill was discussed briefly and several elo
quent speeches were made In relation to
the same. Statistics were given showing
that fully' 18,000 persons have succumbed to
this "great white plague" In Iowa In the
last ten years. It was also shown that In
Massachusetts and other states where ef
forts have been made to treat the disease,
many have been saved. The bill passed
the house, 81 to 3.
The house passed a bill to permit towns
to borrow money for park purposes and
to issue bonds to purchase land. It was
found that the present law makes pro
vision for a park tax. but the towns
which would benefit by it cannot buy land
until they have accumulated funds.
The bill to appropriate $125,000 to remodel
the Institution for the Blind at Knoxvllle
so that It may be used as an asylum for
the Inebriates and to take thorn away from
the Insane hospitals, was taken up In
the house and passed. The bill had passed
the senate. The buildings at Knoxvllle are
now Idle.
I.esrnllElntr School Votes.
The bill to legallzo the action of all
school boards wherein there Is doubt be
cause of notice of meetings having been
omitted, to meet a new obstacle due to a
recent decision of the supreme court, was
passed by the house.
The bill to change the time of meeting
of school boards from July to September
and the time of reporting school matters
from October to September, was passed. It
moves up the work so that the final re
ports may be made out several months
earlier each year.
The house reconsidered the vote on the
bill to allow members of boards of super
visors to act as overseers of the poor snd
defeated the bill. The resolution for a
committee to consolidate courses of study
at the state colleges was Jost. The house
voted thanks to Representative Koontz
and the Rock Island railroad for the ex
cursion to Iowa City.
Mr. Cheney Introduced a Joint resolution
for a constitutional amendment to allow

Antl-Pnss Bill.
Senator Hughes of the Iowa-Johnson dis
trict called up his famous pjitl-pass meas
ure In the senate shortly before the hour
for noort adjournment ' today. Tho bill
strikes at every state officer, judges of
all courts, all members of the legislature
and county, city and town officers. An
attempt to amend the first section of the
measure was made iby .. Crawford of Du
buque, which tt ' was claimed would have
mado the bill a dead letter If adopted.
Senator Crawford.. desired to have Incor
porated In tha bill n clause that passes
should not be given, for the purpose of
unduly Influencing ttte action of the re
cipient or for corrupt purposes. It was
beaten by the narrow margin of 18 against
to 17 for.
Senator Hughes mode a dramatic appeal
to the members !n support of the bill, but
before a vote could be arrived at the hour
for adjournment stopped consideration. It
was not fnlshed and In the afternoon the
primary election bill was taken up.
Extradition Bill.
An extradition law brought out by tha
case of Mrs. Dye of Boone, who was ac
cused of sending poisoned candy to Miss
Rena Nelson of Pierre, P. D., was brought
up In the senate this morning and was
considered und adopted without oppo
sition. The bill was a substitute for the
measure drawn by the attorney general
at request of Governor Cummins. It Is
concise and simply provides that In case of
any person performing an act In tills
state to do injury to the property or per
son of another, whether In the state or
not, It shall ' be held as though the act
was actually consummated In, the state.
Or if the act Is committed outside the

No Strike -tt Carpenters.
So far as the ci.rpenters are concerned
there will not be a sympathetic strike in
the building trades In Des Moines. At
the meeting of the Carpenters' union last
evening the union went on record in posi
tive terms as 'opposed to a sympathetic
strike. It did not decide, however, that
It would not consider an attempt to force
the open shop on them as a grievance
warranting a strike of their union. On
the contrary, while formal action was not
taken on this score. It was as good as de
