COMIM.AISS OF TAT FERRETS
Eaat End People Say They Art) Pnt to
Seedless Expense.
Attorney Frank Shlnn of Corson appeared
beforo tho Board of County Supervisors at
Its session yesterday and raised objections
to certain methods pursued by Floener A
Schleicher, the firm of tax ferrets now
working under contract In Pottawattamie
county. Mr. Shlnn complained that resi
dents In the east end of the county had
been served with notices requiring them to
come to Council Bluffs to be examined as
to property allegod to have been omitted
or concealed from taxation. In a number
of - cases, Mr. Shlnn stated, these parties
had been to considerable expense paying
railroad fare and employing an attorney,
not to mention loss of time, and tho In
vestigation had shown that they did not
owe the taxes as claimed by the tax ferrets.
Attorney Shlnn said he believed the board
should look into the matter and see to It
that the tax ferrets be more careful in the
future and not put persons to needless ex
pense. The supervisors- listened patiently
to the Cnrson sttorney, but decided It was
outside of their province to interfere in the
matter.
The auditor was instructed to advertise
for bids from physicians for the pauper
practice In Kane, Garner and Lewis town
ships and at the poor farm. This action of
the board Is in direct opposition to the reso
lution adopted at the recent annual meeting
of the Pottawattamie County Medical so
ciety decrying the custom of competitive
bids for such work. In connection with the
same matter the board decided that in case
of any paupers In the county, except In
Garner, Kane and Lewis townships, and
those at the poor farm, needing medical at
tendance the township authorities will be
required to immediately notify the super
visor In tho district of such case..
The auditor was also instructed to adver
tise for bids for the county bridge work.
The contract at present held by the Canton
Bridge company will expire April 1, 1905.
The claim of J2no of Attorney F. A. Turner
of Avoca for defending Lewis Smith, a
negro charged with murder, was compro
mised for $100, thus making $180 in all that
he received for such services.
The board adjourned until the regular
session In January.

SHERWIN TO BE NEXT CHIEF JUSTICE
Pardon Secretary Is Looking; Into the
Petition of George Barrier, the
Clinton Bnralar, Who
Wants a Pardon.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Dec. 23. (Speclal.)-A
newly organised Des Moines Civic league
has started out to raise a fund with which
to take a hand In city politics and to keep
watch on municipal affairs. The league
has a number of substantial business men
at its head, with I. E. Tone as president
and J. L. Carey as treasurer. An appeal
waa Issued today for funds to carry on
the work. It Is proposed that an agent
be employed to keep watch on municipal
affairs, and to keep the people Informed
as to what is being done with the fund
and to work for reduction of the enormous
city debt and the city tax levies. In a
statement preparedly the officers the fol
lowing summary la made as to the pres
ent condition of the city finances:
Greater Des Moines In 1S90 (the year of
annexation) had no Indebtedness, each mu
nicipality entering into the consolidation
assuming its own Indebtedness under .the
provls.ons of the consolidation act. In
side of six years the city hud accumulated
In outstanding warrants a. floating debt
of $456,i(K an average of $75.0) each year
of which $395,000 were funded Into bonds
of is:x, mi and 1X, and have already
cost In Interest $118,400.
All this Indebtedness has been accumu
lated because of allowing current ex
penses to exceed current revenues. The
system which has produced this result Is
f generally Illegal and certainly unbusinees
lke. lies Moines' levy for munlclpnl purposes
gradually Increased until it reached, In
1SI03, 87.8 mills. The taxable value In ISIti,
under the method of assessment then In
force, was $1 475,280, and In 19n3 It was
$l6,t4t.0t, showing an Increase of over
75 per cent In the levy with a shrinkage
of but about 6 per cent In the taxable
value of all property ussessed.
During the lust nve years, with a tax
levy aggregating over 36 mills, the cur
rent expenses for city purposes have ex
ceeded the Income in an annual amount
aggregating about $2n0.no0, which is paid
by the levying of a Judgment fund .tax,
ranging from 2 to 3Vi mills annually.
. New Chief Justice.
It has been decided that John C. Sher
win of Mason City will be the chief Jus
tice of Iowa next year, commencing with
the January term on the 10th of the
month. Sherwin Is the member of the
court who would have become chief Justice
under the law before the adoption of the
biennial amendment. The Judge whose
term next expires Is made the chief Jus
tice under the Iowa law, but since the
adoption of the biennial amendment the
terms of Judges Sherwin and Weaver will
expire at the same time. The Judges, how
ever, have decided that they shall continue
to rotate the chief Justiceship for the pres
ent on the old plan. The next term of
court begins --January 10 and the subse
quent periods of the term will commence
February 7, March 7 and April 4.
Looking Into Barrier Case.
B. W. Garrett, pardon secretary for the
state at the present time, returned today
from Clinton, where he spent some time
Investigating the case of George Burrler,
who is applying to the governor for ex
ecutive clemency. It appears that his ap
peal Is more strongly backed than Is usual
and that he finds very little opposition at
Clinton, to the parole. Governor. Cummins
has never taken the matter up, as jet
and will not do so for some time. Burrler
Is servirlg time for robberies at Clinton
and he bases his claim to clemency on the
ground that he turned state's evidence and
has assisted the state greatly.
Head of Horticultural Department.
The Board of Trustees of the State col
lege at Ames has closed with Prof. S. A.
Beach of New York to come to Iowa and
become head of the horticultural depart
ment at Ames. Prof. Beach will also be,
come head of the State experiment work In
horticulture and the development ot fruits
and the State Horticultural society will
pay him part of his salary. He succeeds
Prof. Price, who went to the Ohio Agri
cultural college to become dtan. It Is
planned to do a great deal of extra work
In Iowa the next few years In the effort
to develop new fruits.

A new and interesting point is involved
