Lett week was notable In real estat
Circles. The number of transfers of prop

'transactions -broke the record. Since the
'first of the year the real estate transfers
khave been the heaviest In h history of
'Council Bluff 'and Pottawattamie county
telnce the boom days. The record, it Is be
(lleved, Is not equaled by any city In the

Eh considerations for which amounted to
bnly $363,648.05. - -
Real estate dealers say these transfers
11 represent bona fid sales of property
mt unusually high prices. Farm lands In
Pottawattamie county have been greatly In
demand this year and the real estate trans.
Cera ao far show ,a majority of such sales.
Owing to th purchase by the Great West
fern ' railroad of 1U right-of-way through
lie city, there has been a boom la the sal
pt city lot, which has helped to swell the
list of transfer ' materially, although a
large of number of such sales have not yet
een placed on record. I
This activity In the real estate market

Salt at State Crater.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, March 2. (Special.) Dur
ing this week the state legislature will con
sider a large number of Important matter.
The center of attraction, however, will be
In the senate, where It I expected that the
new railroad assessment bill will be brought
up for passsge. The ways and means com
mittee has decided to report the measure
for passage on Monday afternoon. It will go
on the calendar and as soon a a few other
thing are disposed ot will be taken up.
The bill propose to make a change In the
manner of assessing railroads, or rather In
the thing which are to be considered by
the executive council la arriving at the as
aeesable value of the property.
In addition t th things already specified
as to be taken Into consideration, the new
bill specifically mentions the market value
ot stock and bond on the New York stock
exchange and net earnings, as well a
physical condition of the property. There
are speclflo direction a to how th council
hall proceed to reach the Information
ta regard to stock and bond and
it I provided that after the actual
value of stocks and bonds are ascer
tained the taxable value shall be 26 per
cent thereof. In addition to this the coun
cil Is authorised to secure from the rail
road companies a vast amount of informa
tion which Is not now obtainable and thla
laformatlan shall be published, so that every
one may know something of the railroad
value.
The publicity clause of th bill are re
garded by many a th most Important fea
ture. By reason of the change which have
been mad la the bill to perfect It the com
mittee voted unanimously to report out th
bill and It will have auch a atandlng before
the senate aa to command- great auppert.
Discussion will probably be only on unim
portant details. Th authors ot the bill ex
pect to get It into th house thla week.
Edacatloaal Bills.
Thla week the senate will also give soma
consideration, either In the aenat proper
or in committees, to th educational bills.
Th most Important ot thes 1 the com
pulsory education bill, which passed the
house by an almost unanimous vote. This
bill has been so framed aa to recognize
parochial and private school and to not
Interfere la any way with the plana of
churches. It waa at first opposed by mem
bers of th Cathollo and Lutheran churches
under a misapprehension, but Archbishop
Keane has indorsed It and some changes
were mad at the suggestion of the
Lutherans. The senate schools committee
will give a publlo hearing on the bill next
Wednesday. In the house a bill to provide
for consolidation at rural schools ha been
reported favorably, but one to give pay
direct from the state treasury for rural
schools of high grade has been sent to a
subcommittee. The bill to establish a new
normal school at Knoxvlll ha been re
ported favorably and will be called up thla
week la the house, and. It friends expresa
great confidence In It passage.
. The state reformatory measure 1 to com
up In th aenat again Thursday. Th bill
ha been amended, but there 1 still ob
jection to It by some of the member.
CoagrressloaaJ aad City Campalgra.
Th local campaign, which Involve city,
county. Judicial, stats and congressional
candidates, has become one of abuse and
money. It la believed that there has never
been any local campaign In which so much
money waa apent aa this one. Candidate
are being "held up" for large sums of
money by the ward workers and the situ
ation la almost disgraceful to the city. The
greatest Interest la In the fight between
Captain Hull, present congressman, and
Judge Prouty of the district bench, who as
pire to hi seat. Both are hard at work
personally fighting over the ground Inch by
Inch and have extensive organization at
work. The mayoralty contest 1 losing la
terest. Th socialists have coma Into the
field with a ticket and are preparing to
make a hard fight for a large vote. Their
city ticket ha already been nominated. The
Polk county republican are being asked at
the same time to Indorse the candidacy of
Amos Brandt for state auditor, and this
somewhat complicates matters In the office
of state auditor, where Captain Brandt la
a deputy under F. F. Merrlam, who la a
candidate fer reaomlnatlon.

oa Political Coatribatloa
Disclosed.
WASHINGTON, March 2. The attitude of
the Civil Servlc commission toward tb
political activity ot government employes
baa been defined In letters Commissioner
Foulks has sent to Postmaster McMlchsel
and R. Francis -"Wood, both of Philadelphia.
In his letter to Mr. Wood, th substance
of which also Is stated in the letter to th
postmaster, Mr. Foulke says:
We obiect to certain solicitations for
contributions made by those In authority,
because they are, In effect, coercing ' the
political action or employes, dui wouia
it not also be coercing their political ac
tion to tell them that they should not con
tribute, and that they must take no part
whatever In a camDaJanT For myself. I
have In veara naat alwava srlven a modest
contribution for political purposes and I
snail not cease 10 ao so in u tuuire, oe
cause I hold office; but I do not Intend to
give any more or lea on that account,
and I do not want my example to be con
strued aa an Intimation to any employe
of this office that he Is to give or not to
give, or that he is not aa free to give to
the democratlo fund as to the republican
fund, or that he may not aa freely give to
the faction opposed to me aa to the fac
tion not opposed to me, if he s desires.
As to campaign contributions, it seem
to me that the Duroose of the law is to
see that they are really voluntary and. not
coerced, ana a to political action ana
activity, It seems to me the purpose of the
law Is that a man should be free to do
what he likes in office aa well as out of
It, with the limitation that It must not
Interfere with his official duties, nor tn
any other way bring scandal upon or
impair the efficiency of the branch of the
service to which he belongs. In the latter
particular, any attacK made upon tnat
service, or upon the administration of
which It would form a part, would neces
sarily be In derogation of sound discipline.
We who are strong believer In the merit
system should not take so extreme a view
that it could not be sustained in principle
and would not be Justified by publlo opin
ion.
