This Is the outcome of tlio nultn- tion begun some tlmo ago by local butchers to head off outside competition by the Ar mour meat company. Chicago meat was being sold In this city below the prevailing price and the local butchers wanted an or- dlnanco forbidding the sale of any meat that hnd not been duly inspected hero before being offered for s lie. Tlio ordinance pro vides for the appointment of inspectors who nro to uass upon all meat before it is slaugh tered , or , if this cannot bo done , the meat cannot bo sold until an aflldavit of at least ono person is procured stating that the anl- irml was in a healthy condition before being slaughtered , and that the meat is suitable for food.

Ellen Foster , president of the Iowa W. C. T. U. , was In town the past week and spolto very freely of the prohibi tion situation in this state and throughout the country. She 1ms recently returned from Pennsylvania , where she took part la the campaign for the prohibitory amendment. She thinks that the liquor men will now con centrate their strength to huvo prohibition repealed In this stato. When asked whether Bho favored rcsubmittlng the question of pro hibition to the people of Iowa , she replied : "I hnvo no sympathy with the Idea ut all. I do not believe- it , and I do not bcllovo that the majority of the people believe in it. The people hnvo voted on this question , clearly expressing themselves beyond a doubt , and I have no reason to suppose that they have changed their minds. " There has been some talk of trying to have nn Informal expression of public opinion on this subject at the next election. It has been suggc&tcd that the governor could ask the peoiilo to vote upon the repeal or continuance of prohibition when they voted nt the coining bloction. 'iho vote , of course , would have no legal effect , but would simply indicate the drift of public sentiment. IJut that idea has been abandoned as impractical , for it was discovered that both p.irtles would trade votes on the issjuo for votes for state ofllcers , so that n fair expression of public feeling would not bo had. The opponents of prohibition are therefore urging , instead , that the high license republicans combine with the democrats whenever they can by BO doing elect member of the legislature , nnd in th's way see If they cai not obtain a majority to repeal the prohibitory law. As the lavIn this state is statutory and not constitutional , it can be repealed ut any ses sion of the legislature when votes enough can be obtained. Undoubtedly an effort will bo made thif ycnr to secure that majority , nud democrats and republicans who are op posed to prohibition will endeavor in many counties to act together by reciprocal con cessions to tlio stronger party. Making tlio Imw Obnoxious. WATUIII.OO , la. , July 7. [ Special to TUB BEE.J Considerable interest has been awak ened hero by the announced intention of the 1 Robinson & Moan Street Car and Omnibus Manufacturing company to move their plant from this city. This is ono of the lending manufacturing establishments of Waterloo nnd ttio people are very anxious that it should remain hero. Mr , John M. Moan , secretary of the company , on being interviewed , said that the reason they had contemplated the question of removal was that they were un able to work their territory properly from this point because the present rates of freight would not allow them to ship their goods out of hero as cheaply as other firms at at more central spots could. Said ho : "Tho principal trouble that wu have arises from the railway companies refusing to make us u through billing on goods shipped over more than ono lino. For example , suppose that bo wanted to ship n street car from Waterloo to Now Hampton , It would have to co over two different lines , the Illinois Central to Cburles City and the Milwaukee & St. Paul from that point to Now Hampton. Under the old law , it could bo billed through from Waterloo and then the Illinois Central would take perhaps UO per cant and tno Milwaukee & St. PauUO per cont'of the through ruto for their respec tlvo shares. Kow the -10 per cent which the Milwaukee & St. Paul receives Is loss than Its regular local rate from Charles City to Now Hampton and the law steps in and says that they must not muku such an arrange ment unless they , after giving ton days' notice , give n blmllnr rnto to all coeds shipped from Charles City to Now Hampton. This we could hardly ask the road to do and wo can't blnmo them , under the circum stances , for not billing goods through when they nro shipped over moro than ono line. This liot only affects shipments to points in this state but to other states as well , except whcro wo c&u ship out of 'Iowa on ono Jlnb from Waterloo , so you sco wo nro very criously handicapped through what I con- elder in in reality not the fault of the roads but of the law. I think that all other manu facturcrs In thostnto nro olTccted in the sntno way and that the present law Is a benefit only to these who dual In goods that como from other states. It is an agreed fact , I think , that to build up a town it must have manu factories and to got them they should bo en- couruged. Wh.Y should not the bamo line of txjllcy hold good In c.iso of a state ! " Mr.V. . B. Koblnson , the president of the company , gave some figures showing the Increase ol rates on a street car or omnibus from Waterloo lee to various points , under tlio now law as it works through the failure of the roads to ul- low through billing over connecting lines.

TKo ordinance creating the office of city chemist with a salary of ? ; ! 00 per annum was defeated ut the meeting of the council Sat urday evening. Alderman Snydcr , among others , voted against the passage of the ordinances. Being iskcd the reason of his opposition , Mr. Sny dcr said ho did not think a man competent .0 perform the duties in a satisfactory man- ler could bo secured for a salary of $300. Ho was most decidedly m favor of having a careful inspection nnd analysis of the food supply , and especially of milk , and thought t best to put this matter under the direct supervision of the city physician , allowing this ofllclal nn assistant If necessary , but ho was notTin favor of paying out & 100 or nuy other sum for nn incompetent man. Dr. Ralph was hunted up nnd asked his views on the subject. Ho had felt sure the ordinance would pass and was surprised to : icur it had not. Tlio doctor said bo had .ooked Into the matter , and know of two exert - : > ert chemists who would do all the neces sary work of analysis for the sum named if .ho city furnished the chemicals necessary in .ho operations. Ho also thought the : ity should provide unit furnish a .aboratory for conducting the analysis. As for the city physician doing the work , the doctor thought that would be an impossibility , ns that ofllciul had his hands full now. Ho also thought it would not be in the province of u physician to perform work of this character - actor , as it would require a thorough chemist. Mayor Broatch was found nt homo and asked for un expression of his views In the matter. Ho said the ordinance embodied n resolution referred to the council by the Lionnl of health , and ho considered it a neces sary provision. The namei of two expert chemists had been presented to the board and they hud produced references of the best character and diplomas from first-class Insti tutions. The mayor said ho should never give his consent to an ordinance creating an ofllco of this character with it high salary at tached. Ho was satisfied that satisfactory service could bo secured nt the figures named ( $300) ) , and there was no necessity for increasing the amount. Hnvo You Catarrh ?

Mr. Iloscwnter's Speech Dolnro tlio Hoard of Initialization. At the meeting of the board of cquntlza- .lon last Saturday the matter of the alleged ow assessment of Tim Up.n building was ; akcn up nnd Mr. Hosowator addressed tno joard ns follows : " 1 nm cited hero ns the president of the I3co Building company to glvo reasons why .ho property should not bo raised from tho' valuation ilxcd by tno assessors. I nm not lioro for Hint purposo. I take It that the commissioners understand the basis of as sessment which prevail * ns to all buildings that nro under construction. What wo want , so far us the Ueo Building company Is con cerned , In that our property shall not bo as sessed any higher than the property of others In the snuio condition.V'o do not isk that the property shall bo assessed lower than that ol others who have build * Ings under construction. 1 presume that the board of equalization seeks to nrrivo nt n fair nnd cqultnblo basis , so that all property shall bear Its equal nnd lust burdani pro ratn. If the parties who have made this complaint hnvo any reason for feeling ag grieved over the assessments of their prop erty In uny other part of tins city , or In any other ward , It Is thair privilege to como hero nnd make- complaint that they are as sessed too high , nnd leave It to your Judg ment whether or not this is n fact. It Mr. Crclghton's property , on lower Farnam , Is assessed too high as compared to property adjacent to it , ha has a right to como hero and make the complaint ; nnd whllo I tto not deny him the right to complain against tlio Bco Building company , I rather think it is n plcco of snito-work mnro than a desire to enlighten you with regard to nuy favoritism or discrimination by the assessors. I certainly have not sought to influ ence the assessor In coming to nny conclu sion. The building , In April , when It was assessed , was under construction , nnd there have been nt least $100,000 , of materials and and labor added to it since that time. All the marble work , all ll 3 olcctria light und gas fixtures , nil the tiling , a great deal of the wood finish , and the painting , nil the interior glass nnd nil the stair-case and iron worn that Is called fancy Iron work all that has been added since the assessor was In the building , or rather when tha assessment was made , and wo nro not yet completed. It will take probably from thirty to sixty dnys to put in every part of the material that belongs In that building. "Conceding all that Mr. Crolghton says about Its cost when completed , this question is to whnlhcr or not the assessment of the building , ns it stood nt the time when the as sessor hnd n right to fix the valuation , was Just or unjust Is for you to decide. "As to the complaint against the I3oo Pub lishing company , there is no detailed state ment by the complainant , for lie simply con- lines himself to the ehurgo thut our propsrty 1ms been assessed too low. I have not oven seen the return made by our treasurer , but I Isnow thnt the returns hnvo been mudc from year to year on the personal property in our [ los-scsslon tbo prcsses.tho various furniture belonging to the composing room , the ma chinery and materials nnd engines , etc. This lias been the custom from your to year by all the newspapers to mnno their returns of the material on hand , mm have it assessed according to what it would bring proportion ate to whnt other property would bring at n forced sale. I am told that Mr. Croigton's principal complaint is thnt the franchise of Tun BEB has not been put in. If that is so nnd ho is hero now I might as well know now what his particular complaint is as to why the Bee Publishing company is too low , ns ho has not put it in his complaint. Mr. Crcighton I have hero n copy that was drawn off by ono of the clerks. To bo technical , If you will get the return paper thnt was sworn to , if this is disputed Mr. Itosowater I am not disputing the question about the bulldinir. Mr. Creighton I nm talking about the personal uroperty now. As I understand , that Is what Mr. Rosewater was talking about. - . Mr. Hosowater Yes , the personal prop erty. erty.Mr. Mr. Creighton If this copy does not cor respond with the book the Third ward pre cinct if that does not correspond with the returns In the book , then , of course , It can bo disputed , nnd wo can refer them to the sworn statement. Mr. Uosownter That is correct ; but ? SCOO is tne personal property returned by the Bee Publishing company for nssesstnent. Now , J8.COO , in my opinion , will bear very fair comparison with the assess ments of institutions very much moro extensive than the Bee Publishing company machinery. I will take , for in stance , the street railways , gas companies , the waterworks , or anv class of institutions tuat nro running machinery that cost from ten to ono hundred times as much as that which wo havo. But leaving that out , I wish to make n statement regarding the franchise , because I was told personally that thut wus the complaint. Our constitution provides that the personal prpperty and the franchises of nil corporations shall bo assessed for taxation. Franchises as defined by the constitution , moan privi leges granted by the public for n public use , such as the right of way of a railroad over the public domain ; the right of n telegraph company to erect poles ; the right of a tele phone company to occupy streets ; the right of a subway company to go under the streets ; the right of the waterworks or gas company to occupy pipes of n street all these privi leges are supposed to bo grants made by iho public and to huvo an actual value , that is n value that might bo computed for business purposes ; but 1 know of no privilege whlchja newspaper enjoys that the public is required to grunt , or tha . it does grant. Anybody may start a newspaper if ho has money enough or money to sink. . Ho need not toke ndvicofrom anybody , nor need ho even have a license. Ho is under no obligations to con sult anyone , nnd ho can start a news paper as any man could start a livery stable , store or factory. There Is no fran chise connected with a newspaper , because the constitution docs not intend that the good-will or the Ill-will of uny business estab lishment shall bo assessed. In some cases men have built up a largo business by reason of properly conducting it so that the patron * ago of the public coming to his business is valuable , and he can sell It if ho wants to quit business ; but there is no such thing as taxing" the good-will of nn establishment. Another man might have the ill-will of a community ; ho might have everybody down on him , and , In soiling out , would simply hnvo to part with what goods ho had ; but you have no right , and I know f no law that would authorize you to compute how much the Bee Pub lishing company can earn by Its enterprise or industry. There is no rlgnt.ln the consti tution to tax Industry or to tax anything that comes by voluntary business patronage. The only franchise , so-called , which n news paper docs enjoy , on u dully paper , is Its in terest in or right in un association known as the Associated press. I want to explain right hero what that is : Our associated press for this section is known ns the Northwest ern Associated press , incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois , with mem bers In Illinois , Iowa nnd Nebraska. The membership Is not made up of Individuals , or firms , or corporations , but of newspapers as newspapers. Eacli of tlioso newspapers has ono share of stock in that corporation , nnd one vote in all its transactions , The company , or * the corporation , oxucts from the press , or rather from the news papers located in uny particular city whore other newspapers already are members its proportion of the nctuul money In Its treasury nt tlio tlmo of admission. When TUB Hiu : wont into the associated press , the proportion of money was sixty dollars , and that is the exact amount wo paid for ono share of stock in the North western Association. It is not transferable to anybody , nor can - > nv individual or cor poration own it. It la part of Tnu BUB. If Tin : Bi : : dies , that otoc.c dloa with it. It has no particular tnuglblo vuluo beyond the slmro and amount of money actually In at the lima. Each of us is assessed monthly in proportion to tha amount of telegraphic tolls and agents' fees thut have to bo paid , and of the whole assessment we get our pro ratn. It Is true that I personally paid a bonus of f 9,000 to George L. Miller , layman Richardson and Cuspur K. Yost for their agreeing not to oluck-ball Tin : Itui : when it went Into the association , bo- causa ono black-ball Is sufficient from the homo company to prevent tlio ndmleslon ; and thut bonus wus paid to them for thut privilege. But 1 want to know where there Is nny law by which wo could bo assessed or whcro you could appraise u bonus paid to ROinoboily for some particular thing or funcy. I hud a fancy at that tlmo thut it was worth ( U.iiuO , 1 doubt la day whether I would pay { 000 , because I can get all the dispatches I \vunt for money , und I am getting just as t'.uny dispatches to-day outside of the r.sso- ciatlon as wo are getting in It. I simply make this statement oecauso of the errono- gus impression about franchises of news papers. The connUtutlonnl provision about franchises docs ntitrofur to them whatever. t have nothltrpjfcirtlicr to say. The com < mlssloncrs can jciotcrmlrjo for themselves whether or not wo'.lmvo been Justly or un justly assessed. IKMr. Crclshton's property Is assessed too hfigb , I have nothing to say about that. It IspJils privilege to complain nbout his own nsnossment. For him to com plain that wo itra nsscsscd too low , Is n privilege ho may hUe enjoy ; but thnt do- nnnds entirely fromwhnt standpoint wo view It. If ho had piron you complaints ngnlnst very many well known capitalists hero who do not mnko returns of money loaned , nnd mortgages nnd stocks that bring largo In comes , why , I would nay that Is u sincere nnd honest complaint nirnlnst us , just ns tienlnst them ; but Ml looks very much ns if Mr. Crolghton hnd a grievance which ho wanted you to tnko In hnnd und which ho expected through you to vent on Tiiu Bnn. " At the close of Mr. llosowator's remarks , Mr. Creighton took the lloor. Ho opened by declaring that his motive for creating this disturbance was bused on a gnawing nmbl- tion to show thut , whllo the common tax payer wnsassessed at fiO per cent , two of the greatest frauds on the public , moaning Tun Bcc and Now York Llfo buildings. The old gentleman then bccamo involved ns to his Ideas and words nnd failed to com * plelo the sentence. Ho wandered around with "tho general public , the greatest frauds mnko examples hovv the general public is treated , otc.i" for two or thrco minutes. Ho then rumbled through a long dlsccrtn- tlon regarding schedules being placed in every property owner's hands to fill out nnd mnko returns ; how Mr. Uosownti.-r started his printing business down on lower Fnrnnin street and claimed $100,000 capital there , how ho had purchased two presses costing $35,000 , nml that ho palu $ ' .1,003 for the associate press franchise , "which I know myself , because I heard him talking to John A. Creighton before fore nnd nfter ho paid it , saying that ho could not get Into the association unless ho did. I counseled him then not to pay It , but light them. " Hero is n specimen of the agreement of the Third ward Diogenes In support of the fran chise and personal property complaint : "Now , then , if it wus worth , nnd ho hns said it was worth it , $9,000 , to got In there to him , rather than to pay for his dispatches outside ho knows that ho has , ns Bradstreet - street records It , $ IOO,0'JO of paid up capital there , and ho has the crcdltupon that. Then , lot us see : ho has there for all of his machinery his franchise , his capital , his everything that uocs to muko up u mammoth printing estab lishment , ho hhs $3,000 returned under oath by his sccrctury and treasurer. I want to refer you to the franchise , nnd If you will look nt page CJl , I think , you will find what comprises frunchisos , und you will Hnd that ho is bound to make the return , and is bound to muko it in full , nnd , In the snmo page here , all capital stock of companies nud asso ciations not incorporated by the laws of this state , excepting shares of stock in nntioual banks , ho is bound to re turn , nud ho is bound to return also all the property in incorporated companies. "Now , I say tbut , according to tlio oath of his secretary and treasurer , ho is entitled tea a rebate of § 8,000 that they have returned under oath that they have there on this es tablishment deducted from § 109,000 , which is the capital rightly to bo assessed against this company. And I bring thut before you , gentlemen , as u complaint ; und , if you want the authority , it is there In your statutes. " The Chnirmnn Suppose nil thut were true , would not that.59,000 bo a part of the hundred thousand ! Mr. Creighton I admit that what Is n fair construction of the statute , thnt , as ho has returned the ? SCOO hero , ho should have credit ; thut is sworn to , nnd I understand the return that they should hnvo credit .on the 5109,000 , subtracting $0,000 , which is a fair construction of'tho statute. The Chairman la not that $3,000 a part of the hundred thonsand ! Mr. Creighton No , sir ; no , sir ; ho got that before they were incorporated. Yes , sir ; he got that before they were incorpor ated. Years before. Replying to this disjointed outburst , Mr. Hose water said : "Itam very much obliged to Mr. Creighton for appearing hero before you to show to what extent malice can go hand in bund with stupidity and ignorance. In the first pluco , ho ndmite that the Bco Publish ing company hud allits privileges when it was incorporated. The hundred thousand dollars capital which it has , represented the cntlro BEE establishment , including whatever rights or privileges it might hnvo In nny association the Associat ed press. And wnat 1 personally paid as an individual for the privilege has no more to do with the Bee Publishing company to-day , than what I might have paid for a lot over hero. I paid $900 for that lot across the way when I bought ittweuty-fouryears ngo. That bus no bauring on what the Heo Building company paid for it , "Now , 1 simply want to call your attention to this fact , thut no manufacturing associa tion , and a newspaper is in n sense a manu facturing concern manufacturing news papers , engaged in that business manufacturing and selling news papers no manufacturing concern makes n better or higher return than wo have mndo right there. White It is true that wo paid $10,500 or 517,000 apiece for these presses , if we were to sell them or offer them for sale now wo huvo used them two years wo might not bo ublo to get one-fourth of that in cash for them. And , while it is true that wo have some machinery that , wus very costly , the assessment is made In at what it costs when It is bought new and whnt it is worth , nnd whnt it might have been worth if it was sold out at public salo. "TIIL BEE is not to bo assessed at what It is worth because I am its manager and during my life time , but what It would sell for If I were dead nnd you were to sell It over hero at u public salo. Now the county has no moro right to assess us by ono rule and another manufacturing institution by another , than they would have a right to assess Mr. Creighton by ono ruld and our property by another rule. There must bo a uniform rule covering all prop erty. Now , as n manufacturing concern with $100,000 of capital , and which , by the way , is represented thus : Up to two years ago wo hud only .50,000 capital ; the coin pany bought the property across the way hero for $50,000 from mo , und Issued $50.000 more stock , and then they tool , for that stock the same individuals' stock in Tin ; BUG building. Now , that made $100,000 capital on Its face in the Bee Publishing Tcompany , and in reality when they transferred that property to the Bee Building company they took that right out of Tin : HER. Formerly , the Bee Publishing company owned that ground down below on Farnam ; to-day It does not own It ; the Bee Building company owns it and pays tuxes on it , and our property , the real prop erty , Is taxed exactly according to its value , and I venture to say that our property on lower Farnam is assessed at u higher ruto than that of Mr. Crclghton's on lower Far nam , " . Mr. Crolghton Just the snmo exactly. Mr. Kosowater Well , it 1s down between Ninth and Tenth streets und Is worth a great deal less money by the foot than the prop erty up between Twelfth and Eleventh. It Is perfectly preposterous to talk about as sessing the whole hundred thousand dollars when you do not assess nny other institution , not ovun n bank has got the money. SupposoJ had $100,000 in the bunk actual dollars. Whllo ttio law actually sup poses you to nsiess mo the whole $100,000 , you would not venture to do it. You never huvo assessed tha'banking Institutions upon the actual money that they havo. Now , If $3,000 do not represent these- two things under n very fulr valuation of the materials In Tun HUB , when wo paid taxes on tha prop erty below nnd another tux on this property over hero , I would llko to know whnt does. As to being n fraud upon the co'iimunlty , that is for the community to Juitgo. It is not material to tlils'oaso. This brought Creighton to his foot once moro nnd Imagining thut tbo tlmo hnd como for him to cut loose , ut it I'o went indulging in a personal attack on Mr. Rosowuter , clalminir thnt the latter hail called him an old fraud In Tin : But ; and he hud a right to retallu'o thero. Chairman Mountthought differently , how ever , uud shut the gentleman off with a rul ing to the effect that , If ho had uny cause to show why the Bee Building and Heo Publish ing companies wcro assessed too low , the board would hear him. "Wo cannot havn our tlmo taken up listenIng - Ing to personalities or anything else foreign to thu matter under consideration. " Ttio ex-paving boss whined and pqulrmcd on having liU little scheme- thus destroyed , but. subsided and tried to say something in behalf of the complaints. He undertook to slow that the inouoy invested by Mr. Hoso- water in his building must have boon on huiid and should bo assessed wltathar in banker or in brick. His old plea , "interest the com mon peoploagalnst big lUIics. " wus rung in again nnd after ono or two desperate floun ders the splenetic Diogenes retired , Mr. Kosewutor made u brief reply to the effect thut he was perfectly willing thut the board should nay whether men nnd corpora tions who Invest their capital In big enter prises shall hnvo recognition or not , "As to the 'big fish' matter,1' ho said , "I presume Mr. Creighton could toll n great donl nbout big fish. The big fish nro men who loan money at 8 nnd 10 per cent nnd thus swallow up the little fish. " The board took nn ndjourntncnt until evening , when Croiehtdn's complaint wns ntrnin taken up. After a brief discussion n motion prevailed to dismiss the protest on the ground that it was unfair nnd totally groundless. . _ Xliroo ICcliollioim a Dny.
