Harl tt Tlnlsy, special counsel ' for ' tba
county.
The total amount assessed as taxas In
the 1.000 suits waa something over IMO.OOO.
The litigation was begun nearly three years
ago and a hearing was had before Judge
ThornslI during the March term of court
last year. A number of the original cases
were consolidated and on the result of this
trial the outcome of tho entire attempt of
the county to tax the corporation stock
practically depended. Slnoa the hearing
before the court briefs hare been filed by
counsel on both sides from time to time
and no deolsion had been handed down by
the court. Th transcript covered 700 pages
and the briefs 300 pagea more.
statement by Attorneys.
Charles M. Harl, ona of the special coun
sel for Pottawattamie county In this liti
gation, made the following statement when
the settlement was announced and the for
mal order Issued by Judge Greene In ac
cordance with the terms of tho com
promise: At different times during the progress
of the litigation suggestions . of possible
settlement have been made by tho mining
company, but the offers were such thai
they could not be considered by the county.
Recently, howevor, the matter of possible
compromise was again taken up.
The Portland Gold Mining company made
an offer of 20,000 cash In settlement of the
tax cases agalnat It, which proposition was
by the board accepted and consummated
by a Judgment for that amount. The as
sessment was based upon the highest sales
of Portland stock for each of the years
covered by assessment. The value of the
stock fluctuated very greatly during these
years and the court would probably. In
view of all the circumstances and the
doubtful character of the case, fix the
sssesament at the lowest value of stock
for each year, which would have cut the
vimin di me county irora one-inira lo one-
half- In '"Itlon to that there would have
b'fin ent of something like $1,000,000

leducted from the value of the stock, the
issrssment made against the real estate
if the company In Colorado, this assess
ment under the statute being deducted
from the value of the slock for assess
ment purposes.
The treasurer In making his assessment,
having no knowledge of the value of thla
property or the amount of the assess
ment, assessed the stock without regard
thereto. The questions Involved in the
case were close and Intricate. As the Port
land compsny had raised questions Involv
ing the claim that the legislation of Iowa
waa In conflict with the federal consti
tution, s dectatynn against them would
have been appealed to the supreme court
of the I'nlted States, which ' could not
have been determined for something like
three years. Then, In view of the fact
that all of the property of the Iowa cor
poration had been transferred to the Purt
Innd Oold Mining company of Wyoming,' It
would have required a suit in the courts
of Wyoming to enforce that Judgment, In
which would be presented other claims In
volving the effect of the federal consti
tution protecting in each state the Judg
ments of e.very other state, that cans
could havs been appealed to the supremo
court of the United States with like delay,
that that with complete success on the
part of the county on every question In- j
volved, It would have been from five to i
seven years before the caaes could have
been finally determined and there was '
the possibility of defeat at any stage of j
the litigation, ana arter a large amount
of money had been invested In costs and
expenses.
In view of the fsct that the Board of
Supervisors, while having abiding confl- I
dence in the justness and legality of the
claim of the county, deemed It better to
atcept $.C00 In cash than Invest a large
amount In costs and expenses with the
chances of litigation and the certainty
of a hnj period of time before anything
could be utilised. There was also the
danger that during the litigation the Port
land mines, which have been In operation
from ten to thirteen years, might be ex
lai'sted and there be no property out of
which the claim of the county could be
-esl'r.ed. In view of all of these fscts,
"e Hoard of Supervisors concluded thst a
-! settlement for $30,000 would be more
Mlsfartnry to the taxpayers of the county
"in risking other money in this protracted
'"ston.
The Board of Supervisors at Its session
esterday afternoon took formal action in
the matter by adopting a resolution approv
ing the settlement.
Although It gets bsck all the costs It had
paid In ths litigation, the county does not
receive much out of the settlement. Harl
& Tinley under their contract with the
county were to receive 15 per cent of whst-
the largest share, something In the neigh
borhood of $S,000, while the county's propor
tion will be not more than $2,000. ...
The settlement is considered a favorable
one by the county officials. The outcome
of the suits was doubtful and ths litigation
would havs undoubtedly dragged along for
several years yet at a large expense to the
county. Even If the suits ultimately ter
minated In favor ot the county and it se-
, cured a Judgment for a large amount County
that time the county could discover any
visible property . to levy on.
The' Portland Oold Mining company was
originally Incorporated under the laws of
Iowa and had Its headquarters ostensibly in
Council Bluffs, where the annual meeting
of the stockholders were held. Shortly
after the county commenced thess tax suits
the company dissolved Its Iowa Incorpora
tion and reincorporated In Wyoming.
t rick Talks to Laboring: Men.

BIG INCREASE IN BUTTER
Ten Million Pounds More for Iowa
Than in Previous Years.
NUMBER OF CREAMERIES LESS
Trend Is Tovrard Larger Central
Plants Located . In Cities Bale
of Oleo in the State on
the Increase.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la.. Nov. 19. (Speclal.)
The production of creamery butter In
creased in Iowa last year 10,000,000 pounds
snd the number of creameries decreased by
forty-two, leaving a total , of 552. This
shows the remarkable change taking place
In the creamery bualness by the abnormal
growth of the concentrating stations. These
figures are from the annual report of Hon.
Herbert R. Wright, state dairy and pure
food commissioner, for the year ended the
first day of the present month.
The total number of pounds of butter
made at the creameries and stations In the
year, as reported, was 101.552.063. It was of
sn approximate value of $.000,000. There
are 100,000 patrons of these creameries and
more than 800,000 cows furnish the milk.
The business Is being centered In the
large rltirs where the atations are located
that buy cream and ship long distances.
About one-third of all the butter made
In creameries Is msde In thirty-four of
them. There are now three condensed milk
factories In the state at Perry. Waverly
snd West Liberty.
The ssle of oleo Is evidently on the In
crease, since there are now 110 licensed
dealers In the state, and the commissioner
estimates the number will soon be doubled.
The courts of Iowa have established that
oleo "of a yellow color" cannot be sold In
Iowa even aa oleomsrrarine, hence most
of that sold In Iowa Is especially white in
appearance.
The dairy commissioner makes a strong
point in regsrd to the necessity for better
milk Inspection. In fact, ths milk Inspec
tion law in effect for twenty years Is of no
practical value, since all the Inspectors can
do Is to catch the milk just as It goes to
the customer. Mr. Wright recommends that
it be required by law that milk offered for
kale shall be only from herds Inspected for
tuberculosis; thst Inspectors be authorized
to investigate barns snd to enforce sanitary
conditions, and that this be either done
through the stste dairy department or that
the municipalities In which inspection It
given be authorized to set. A total of 1,07s
milk permits were Issued last year in. the
fourteen cities that have Inspectors.
In regard to inspection of the creameries
Of ths state It is found that the present
force csnnot possibly respond to ail the
calls. The stste hss been exceptlonally
fortunate In having high-grade asststsnt
dairy commissioners and they devote ull
their time to traveling about among the
creameries, snd while last year 342 cream
eries and skimming stations were seen by
ths inspectors, there uie U stations and
forty-two creameries that were never seen
by the assistants. In general the laws of
ths state havs been enforced and properly

I'pheld Rights of Doctors.
