Ever since the opening of the municipal campaign the democrats have been claim ing the credit for bringing the finances of the city to a cssh basis. The credit be longs entirely to Frank T. True, renom inated by the republicans for the office of city treasurer. It wa Frank True who engineered the deal whereby the city finan ce were placed on a cash basis by the re funding of the then outstanding Indebted ness. He controlled the outstanding war rants and it was through his efforts that the city waa able to take them up by an Issue of refunding bonds. The records of the city ere Indisputable, yet the democrats all through the cam paign now drawing to a close have un blushlngly claimed the credit for what was done through True's efforts. Frank True did not occupy the office ot city treasurer at the time the refunding bonds were Issued, but held the position ot finance clerk, as he had for several yeara. It was in the early months of 1900 that It waa proposed to take up the outstanding warrants, amounting to something over 1200,000, by an Issue of refunding bond. The clty'a Indebtedness was at the limit, and the only manner In which the bonds could be Issued In place of the warrant waa by manual exchange, and thereby not Increasing the indebtedness of the munici pality. Frank True, then finance clerk, engineered the deal from start to finish, whereby R. Van Vechten of Cedar Rapids purchased the refunding bonds. True con trolled the warrants held in the east, and they could not have been even located, much less redeemed, but for his effort. All the correspondence concerning the deal was between True and Van Vechten, the latter not recognizing anyone In the matter except True. This deal brought to a successful con summation by True redeemed outstanding Indebtedness amounting to over $200,000 and placed Council Bluffs on a cash basla. Fur ther It saved the city $3,000 a year In in terest, aa the warrants were drawing 6 per cent, while the refunding bonds were issued at 44 per cent. Frank True, owing to his experience gained aa city finance clerk for several years and during bis term as city treasurer, 1 probably better equipped to handle the city' finance than any other man In the city, and his reelection Monday 1 con ceded.

FAVORABLE REPORT SECURED ON MEASURE Senate Likely to Act Without Delay Story Connty Names Pronty Delegates State Snes Lafe Yoanc (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 29. (Special.) The senate of the Iowa legislature practically gave notice this morning that It It Is found to be Impossible to pass the Molsberry bill over the veto another chance will be given the governor to veto a measure hav ing the same object In view. The bill whioh was vetoed provided for removing the limit of Indebtedness on railroad corpora tions organized In Iowa and doing an In terstate business. Governor Cummins took exception to the bill chiefly because It was class legislation and that It provided that only one kind of railroad corporations could Increase the Indebtedness beyond the ordinary limit. The veto attacks the bill on constitutional grounds. A great many of the members of the senate especially have taken offense at what they term the fine distinctions drawn by the governor on the constitutional ques tion. Therefore this morning Senator Mols berry Introduced a new bill which repeals entire section 2049 of the code, which re lates to ths Indebtedness of railway cor porations, and provides: Any railway corporation organized tinder the laws of this state may, notwithstand ing the provisions of section 111 of the code. Incur indebtedness or liability bv an lseue of bonds or otherwise and may mort gage Its property and franchises In whole or in part to secure the eame In order to pay or refund Its Indebtedness, to improve or develop lis property or for the purpose of effecting the object of Its Incorporation, and any Issue of bonds to be In such amounts, run for such length of time, be payable within or without this state, and bear such rate of Interest not to exceed the legal rate In the state at the time of Issue as the company lasuing the snme shall determine. This bill would effectually open the way for an unlimited Indebtedness of tallway corporations organized In Iowa, provided the company in a proper and legal man ner removes the limit Itself. When the governor had the matter under consideration he received telegrams frcm the heads of several of the railroads asking that he sign the bill, which indicates that It la desired by more than one. In fart, several of the Iowa corporations are en gaged In making Improvements which will ccet more than the Indebtedness allowed under the present law. The bill when Introduced this morning was referred to the committee on corpora tions, which committee met and imme diately reported it out for passage. It will so on the calendar Mondav and will prob ably be taken un as soon as the veto mes sage Is considered and disposed of. There is no hone ot passing the original Mole berry bill over the veto of the governor, but the new one will be sent him at once. Senate Limits Debate. This morning the senate passed the reso lution which provides that hereafter all discussion of bills shall be confined to seven-minute speeches by members, and no member shall yield a part of his time to another. The resolution providing for night sessions next week was also passed. Bills Passed. Bills were oassed as follows: To give rent free to the adlutant auartermaster and surgeon of the Iowa Soldiers' Home the houses they occupy at the home; to re quire fire-escapes on all public buildings; to guarantee a fixed salary for shorthand reporters. The senate concurred in the house amendments to the bill to relieve the state treasurer from liability on suits brought to recover taxes and fees wrong fully collected. Senators Courtright, Hazleton, Hubbard and Lambert were named as conferees tn the electric Interurban bill. The house passed the bill to amend the law relative to veterinary surgery, etc. It merely corrects an error. The bill to completely change the law In regard to building viaducts over railrcal tracks was passed. It simplifies the law and was agreed on by the railroads and all persons Interested. A bill to legalize the acts of all notaries public in all cases where the acknowledge-. ments have been defective or Incomplete wss passed; also a number of special legal izing acta. Large Shipping; Company. The Great Lakes Register company filed articles of Incorporation with the county recorder this morning.

The attorney general of Iowa today began uit against Lafe Young for $4,562, ths sum alleged to have been overcharged the state by Young when he wa atate binder. Some time ago the attorney general gave an opinion that at least a part of this sum could be recovered In court and the execu tive council authorized blm to begin suit on behalf of the state.
