The congregation of the First Congrega
tional church, which ha worshiped tor
thlrty-alx years In the edifice at the corner
of Sixth atreet and Seventh avenue, has
definitely decided that ita church building
ahould be mora centrally located. There
ha bwn more or lea talk for the last few
years of seeking a more central location,
fcut the first definite action looking to the
accomplishment of this waa taken at the
close of the morning service yesterday,
when the trustees were Instructed to secure
options on on or more suitable sites, as
certain the probable value of the present
church property and such other data aa
would be necessary for Intelligent action,
and report to the congregation next Sunday
morning.
Hie present house of worship of the First
Congregational church waa erected thirty
years ago and at that time the leaders of
the church were of the belief that the city
Would grow In the direction of the Union
Pacific transfer, which had Just been con
structed. The tracks of the several rail
roads entering Council Bluffs, however,
tended to stop the growth of the city south
and for several years past the congregation
has realised that a central location for Its
church would be more desirable than the
present site.
It Is understood that the trustees have
under consideration several locations. One
site Is on Fourth street, another facing
Bayliss Park and a third on First avenue.
It Is stated that the church proposes to
expend between $.10,000 and 140,000 on its
new house of worship, which will be thor
oughly modern and constructed of brick
and stone. In addition to the church build
ing at the southwest corner of Sixth street
snd Seventh avenue, the First Congrega
tional church owns the property adjoining
on the south, on which Is located the church
parsonage. According to present plans It Is
the Intention to dispose of the entire prop,
erty If possible and erect a new modern
residence adjoining the new church for a
parsonage.
A pleasing Incident occurred at the close
of the morning service after the subject
of the new church building had been dis
cussed, when the pastor, Dr. Otterbeln O.
Bmlth, received the first donation towards
the cost of the proposed new building. The
donation, consisting of a penny, was given
by June Davis, the little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John P. Davis. The little tot did
It entirely of her own motion and Dr. Smith
turned the penny over to the treasurer,
Ernest E. Hart, president of the First Na
tional bank, with the suggestion that the
coin be preserved and placed In the box at
the laying of the cornerstone of the new
:hurch.

When tho bids on the nunpritrnrti.r.

TAX MATTERS ARE AGITATED
Iowa Not Satisfied with Assessment of
Mortgages.
RECORDING FEE IS IN FAVOR
Sanitary Education One of Crying
Needs of Cities of tho State-
Judgeship Succession
I'nsettled.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES, July 20. (Special.) At a
meeting of the Iowa Tax Revision asso
ciation, to be held soon, It Is the Intention
to determine Just what will be asked of
the legislature which meets next January.
The association has thus far been con
tent to carry on a campaign for a revision
of the taxes of the state, adding to the
membership of the association steadily.
The association was formed at the close
of the lost session of the legislature when
the proposition for a tax revision com
mission was defeated.
The main proposition to be submitted to
tho association when It meet here will be
the assessment of stock and bonds, moneys
and credits and mortgages. Furthermore,
there Is likely to be submitted the propo
sition to create a permanent tax commis
sion. The assessment of real estate seems to
be quite satisfactory to everyone. There
I considerable sentiment for the exemption
of stocks and bonds for the reason that
bank stock Is about all the kind of stock
that Is ever taxed at present. Stock In mer
cantile companies Is exempt and the taxa
tion of stocks and bonds Is deemed double
taxation also.
Taxation of Mortgages.
On the question of taxation of mortgages
It Is understood that there Is much senti
ment In favor of adopting the system of
fixing a recording tax. Mortgage on Iowa
property held by corporations In other
states are not taxable in this state at
the present time. The great bulk of the
mortgages on farm property Is now held
by corporations In other states. When ,
Iowa capital I loaned on real estate it
Is subject to the assessment and thus comes
in competition with outside capital which
Is never assessed. It ts, therefore, proposed
to fix a recording tax of SO cent on the
SluO. Mortgage are frequently for a term
of year and as this tax Is charged only
when the mortgage Is recorded the tax Is
not excessive and It would always be paid
and would be paid by holders of mort
gages who live In other states as well as
those who live In this state. There would
be no means of escaping the tax because
a mortgage Is of little value unless re
corded. In that way the revenue to the
state would be about as great. It Is be
lieved, as It is under the present system
and would be much more equitably dis
tributed. Ex-Mayor Pierce of Marshalltown, who
Is one of the leaders of the association,
believes that one of the chief needs In
Iowa Is a permanent tax commission such
as Is already had In New York, Massachu
setts. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Missouri and Kansas. In many of these
states this permanent commission has au
thority to order and force a reassessment
of the property of a county if It believes
some of the property Is being missed or If
It believes that the assessment has not
been properly, made and even hns au
thority to take charge of the assessment.
. Wants Iowa to Be Sanitary.
F. E. Francis, the civil engineer member
of the State Board Of Health, believes that
the state of Iowa should enter at once upon
a program of education and agitation for a
comprehensive system of sanitary Inspec
tion. He believes that the sewage of cities
should not be dumped Into the streams,
but should be taken care of by septic
tanks. He believes further that aome body,
either the State Board of Health or some
other, ahould have authority to enforce
the state laws as to sanitary conditions
generally.
Mr. Francis' term will expire In August,
but unlike the doctor members of the
board he can be reappointed, and It Is
possible that Governor Cummins will reap
point htm. Mr. Francis some time ago dis
cussed to a considerable extent before the
state board the problem of sanitary dis
posal of sewage and proposes to take the
matter up again. If he la reappointed by
the governor he will take the matter up
at the next meeting of the board and seek
to secure the adoption of a definite pro
gram on the problem cK sanitation. The
main thing that Mr. Francis wants to see
Is the adoption of the septic tank system
of sewage disposal to take the place of tho
system that has long been the custom of
dumping the sewage In .rivers and streams.
Authority In State Itonrd.
Mr. Francis believes that there should
also be some authority In the state lodged
in the State Board of Health through a
system of Inspectors or In some other or
ganization for enforcing sanitary condi
tions. He would have this authority given
the power to Inspect cellars and enforce
the cleaning of them, with power to In
spect well water and the water supply of
cities and prohibit the use of water where
It is found to be unfit for domestic pur
poses. He believes that a large amount
of the disease which the state is annually
heir to could be prevented In this way.
When the atate board takes this matter
up it is probable also that It will take up
the matter of more authority. The State
Board of Health now has general authority.
That authority Is very sweeping and It Is
given permission to do almost anything
so long a it doe It In the Interests of the
health of the state, but while It is given
permission to do great things It in fact
doe not have the power to enforce Its
minor rule and regulations because the
legislature In the first instance does not
give It the necessary appropriations and in
the second instance while the board Is
given sweeping statutory authority there
Is no statute providing the means by which
U can carry its authority into execution.
For these reasons the state board will
at its next meeting take up the problem
with the view of laying matters before the
legislature. The board will determine in its
own mind exactly what it wishes done and
will then prepare a report to be submitted
to the legislature.
Discussion of Judgeship.
Lawyers are giving considerable discus
sion to the question of the successor to
Judge Bishop. ' The position of a member
of the supreme bench is one of the great
est Importance to the state, for it Is the
highest tribunal for the Interpretation of
the laws of the state. Not every lawyer
who aspires to a position of Judge ha the
Judicial temperament which the beat law
yers say la the chief requirement of a
Judge on the bench. It Is even placed In
advance of legal learning In the list of re
quirements by many lawyers. That Is,
while It is necessary that an occupant of
the bench should hav both legal learning
and Judicial temperament. It Is better that
hs hav a little less legal knowledge If it I
necessary to sacrifice that In order that his
Judicial temperament be thoroughly devel
oped. Many of the best lawyer In the state
lack th Judicial temperament and the lack
of it often make th best lawyers. A good
lawyer often times as soon as he enters a
case becomes an Intense partisan l.n favor
of hi client. If sitting on the bench a d
a case were submitted to him he would
soon take sides one way or the other atvl
be Incapable from that time on of weigh
ing the evidence. To make the best Judge
It is necessary that he be able to carry the
case In his mind to the end without preju
dice to either side, and then determine the
matter. For this reason many men make
good Judges though they are not so success
ful ss lawyers.
The fact that It seems probable now that
the people of the state will soon be called
upon to make nominations for the position
on the supreme bench makes It Important
In the minds of lawyers that they give
some consideration to these matters. If
the governor were to make an appointment
It would be In every way probable that
after serving the unexpired term the ap
pointee would be nominated for a full
term.
Iowa has been singularly fortunate for
the most part, according to those compe
tent to Judge, In the selection of the mem
bers of the supreme bench, and it ts, of
course, desirable that the high standard be
maintained.
The Bryan Volunteer will not disband
when the big meeting Is hejd In this city
Thursday, a waa at first announced. It
Is understood to be the Idea now that the
organization, which was successful In car
rying Iowa for Bryan at the primaries, can
do valuable work aa an assistant force to
the state central committee. The organi
zation already has most of the counties of
the state organized and the work of the
campaign can be done through them.
The secretary of the Volunteers will at
the meeting Thursday make a full report
of the money received and expended, and
the state central committee, which meets
at about that time, will then take charge
of the campaign and the Volunteers will
work In harmony with the state commit
tee. AVERAGE WAGES ARE HIGHEh

Quebec is Preparing to Entertain
Long List of Notables.
PEINCE OF WALES GUEST
Future Klnsr of England to Tic
OIHclally Greeted by Vice Presi

QUEBEC, July 20. This quaint old city
Is In a flutter of anticipation over the
arrival of his royal hlghnets, the prince
of Wales, who will sail into the harbor
Wednesday aboard the new British battle
ship, the Indomitable, to Inaugurate tho
300th anniversary of the founding of Quebec
US' the French navigator, Chumplaln.
The coming of the future king of Eng
lend Is a slsnlficant event In which all
Canada Is deeply Interested, for aside from
the pageantry of a royal visit It Is a notable
expression of tho strong bonds now exist
ing between the Imperial government and
Its American colony.
Great masses of troops aro being assem
bled here, to do honor to tho future
monarch and ore to take part in the
Chnmplaln exercises. The harbor already
presents a stirring naval spectacle, with
tho British battleship Exmouth, Albemarle,
Russell and Duncan and the cruisers Venus
and Arrogant, the French battleships Leon
Oembetta and Admiral Aule, which will
oon be Joined by the United States battle
ship New Hampshire and later by the
prince of Wales' squadron, the Indomitable.
Minotaur and other Bhlps, the whole pre
senting an assemblage of the latest Drad
naught types of the three foremost naval
powers. ,
Interest In Notables.
Although the celebration of the anni
versary of the founding of Quebec Is the
primary purpose of the celebration, tho
coming of the prince of Wales. Field Mar
shall Lord Roberts, the duko of Norfolk
and many other notable petsonages Is prov
ing of far greater Interest than the his
torical excrclFes. The prlr.co was In Canada
before, when a young n.ival officer, com
manding the gunboat Thrush. But this
ts his first visit since he becamo the prince
of Wales. During his earlier visit he was
most simple and democratic In his habits,
strolling about the streets of Halifax and
Quebec and mingling with the groups at
the officers' clubs. But his official station
now surrounds him with all the pomp of
the royal family and he comes hero with a
lengthy retinue of titled attendants and ull
the splendor of a future king.
He will be quartered In the CltndeJ, a
grim old fortress, perched 400 feet iihovu
the St. Lawrence. It Is called by courtesy
the Gibraltar of America, and outwardly
its massive walls still present a formidable
appearance. But Its antiquated guns and
equipment are no longer a reliance of de
fense and more modern batteries, screened
on the opposite shore, guard the entrancu

French Canadians Parade.
The formal opening of tho week's ex
ercises began today with a monster pa
rade of the young French-Canadians, whs
assembled at the foot of Chajiiplaln'a

as- against the Anglo-Saxon clement. The
are a powerful and, at most, domluanl

to the French customs. Earlier in th
day Lord Roberts, accompanied by Earl
Gray, tho governor general, attended the
Anglican cathedral, while a special, service
was given at the Cathollo basilica In
honor of the duke of Norfolk, head of the
English Catholics, and officers and crew
of the French warship.
