A'.ininB- that the crxnty auditor failed
to reduce the nssssn erit on farm lands
In Kane township for the years 1 and
14 as directed by the state bnard of
Review. City Assessor W. D. Hardin yes
terday filed with the Board of Supervisors
a claim for about H.SnO, the amount of
taxes said to hare been wrong-fully col
lected. The claim la made by Hardin as
"agent" for the property owners alleged
to have boon overtaxed.
In the communication accompanying the
claim, or, more properly speaking, collec
tion of claims. Hardin recites that In 1808
and 1P04 the State Board of Review directed
the county auditor to reduce the nssess
tr.ent on all lands within the county,
Inncludlng lands In Incorporated cities and
towns not divided Into lots of ten acres
or less, 10 per cent The auditor. Hardin
alleges, failed to comply with this order
at least so far as Kane township was con
cerned and aska that the county now
refund the amount of the tax Illegally col
lected with 6 per cent interest from date
of collection. .v
The list of claims filed by Hardin, aggre
gate about S1.6W. Tho largest refunds
sought are for the taxes paid by the East
Omaha Land company E. W. Nash, J. A.
Crelghton, Leonard Everett, who owned
considerable land within the city limit
of Council- Dluffs-which Is held 'for
agricultural purposes only." In all there
are forty-two claims, ranging from a few
dollars to 1200.
The whole matter was referred by the
board to County Attorney Hess, and it Is
' likely that the courts will be appealed to
before the supervisors consent to giving
up any of the county's cash to City Asses
sor Hardin.
Borne months ago it was stated that
Hardin was securing assignments from
heavy Taxpayers throughout Pottawat
tamie county of claims against the county
for some lex said to have been illegally or
wrongfully assessed but at the time Har
din declined to give out arly Information,
it now develops that Ilardln was under
the Imrrcislon that the 10 per cent re
duction ortfoted by the State Board of Re
view had not been made anywhere in the
county but subsequent investigation by
him disclosed the fact that only lands
within the limits of the city of Council
Bluffs had not been given the benefit of
the reduction.
County Auditor Cheyne. while not giv.
lug the list presented by Hardin for exam
ination expressed the belief that a num
ber of 10-acre plots were included In the
lot and that these did not come under the
order Issued by the 3tatc Board of Review.
R. V. Innes, who was county auditor In
J9CS, said that while lie did not remember
' all of the circumstances he was of the
opinion that It was decided at the time
that the 10 per cent reduction did not apply
to lands in Council Bluffs. Mr. Innes said
a he remembers the order was taken to
apply to farm landa outside towns and
cities only. f
Contract for Plat Books.
The board entred Into a contract with
T. R. 6mlth, eon of Elmer E. Smith of the
Abstract Title Guaranty company, 'and

The Pottawattamie County Abstract com
pany offored to do the work for 26 cents

description for farm lands. It to furnish

On the ground that the same Jurisdiction
was lacking the board refused to concur
in the action of the city council remitting
the taxes of the Kretchmer Manufacturing
company and the Standard Manufacturing
company. The taxea of these firms had
been cancelled by the city council under an
ordlnano which authorise the remission
of taxe of now manufacturing concerns
and other industries located In the city,
for a period of five years. Such cancellation
of taxes were Intended a an Inducement to
manufactories and other Industries to lo
cate In Council Bluff. . The board, how
ever, secured a legal opinion to the effect
that It had no power to cancel such taxes,
even by merely concurring In the action
of the -city council.

WATERLOO. Ia., June 25. While "pro
gressives'' were In control of yesterday's re
publican state convention, they did not be.ir
down with any undue rigor on the "stand
patters." They adopted a state platform
riving enthusiastic endorsement to Gover
nor Cummins and the progressive legisla
tion upon railroad and corporation ques
tions, but they also nave warm endorse
ment to the services of the Iowa delegation
In congress and especially to Senator Wil
liam B. Allison and a pledge fur his re
election. The "progressives" secured control of the
new state central committee, controlling
It by a majority of one. The committee,
nominated Judge Scott M. Ladd and Silas
M. Weaver to succeed themselves on the
supreme bench, and also went through
the formality of approving the nominations
for state officers made In recent primaries.
The convention gave loud applause to tho
mentjon of the name of Senator William
H. Allison and Senator Dolllver. and It gave
a demonstration of some minutes when
Governor Cummins responded to calls for
a short speech. Governor Cummins spoke
in good spirit and pledged himself to work
for republican success.
The platform adopted in addition to
commending legislation for 2-cent fares,
abolition of railway passes, prohibiting
corporation contributions to campaign
funds and compelling publicity for cam
paign expenditures, pledge loyal suppoit
to Taft and Sherman, national nominees,
and the national platform.
The convention also adopted the follow
ing resolution with respect lo the death
of Grover Cleveland:
Resolved, That this convention ha
learned with regret of the death of for
mer President Cleveland, an executive
whose patriotism, firmness ttnd courage
challenged the admiration of his follow
countrymen of all parties nd nonored
among all men. It extends Its sympathy
to his bereaved family and to the nation
he loved and served with fidelity.
With the building of the Chautauqua
grounds, where the convention is being
held, well filled and the crowd more than
enthusiastic, the convention got down to
business at 1:4$ p. m.
Speech of Mr. Hart.
C. F. Frank of the state central com
mittee read the official call. Hon. W. 3.
Hart of Waukon was Introduced as the
temporary chairman and spoke aj follows:
Whatever differences, either upon the
personality of our leadership) or the oollcy
of our party may at times Inflame our
animosities or Irritate the placidity of our
councils here at home, Iowa has never
railed In her enthusiastic and loyal ratifl
laLiuu iu urn imiiiniti piaiiurm, ana it uas
been our good fortune that in all matters
of policy wherein there ha been aught,
either of uncertainty or dispute, that plat
form has never failed to voice the domi
nant sentiment of the republicans of the
state.
And I venture no uncertain statement
when I say that throughout Iowa there ia
a satisfaction and rejoicing, that from
the first reading of the national platform
to those who so desired It, and the second
reading or the third at the utmost to those
who wished It otherwise, it is clear that
the maintenance of the protective idea la
Mill the cornerstone of republicanism: that
from the platform of our party rings out
the grand old battle cry of protection with
all Its old-fashioned simplicity, strength
and significance: without one word of qual
ification to limit or mystify Its meaning
or one accent of apology for It utterance.
Republican Con grew to Act.

The Iowa Idea of a protective tariff Is
the nation-wide doctrine of the republican
party, that there must be all the protec
tion required to give to home Industry the
exclusive American field, so far as It can
occupy the same, at a clear profit, after
paying wages commensurate with the
American Idea of sufficient earnings to
maintain a comfortable home owned by
the wage earner himself, with something
laid by for the rainy day of sickness and
misfortune, and when the duty goes be
yond such limitations, and only then. It
should be stricken off without question as
a burden for which there ia no rightful
