DES MOINES, la., July 12.-(Speclal Tel
egram.) Because of the death of Governor
F. Carroll's sister, Mrs. Jane Rouch at
Bloomfleld, the executive council, which
met today to assess the railroads, ad
journed till tomorrow, after listening to
the representatives of the Dubuque and
Sioux City and Colfax and Northern, be
cause the representatives of these roads
cannot be present tomorrow. Only minor
matters were considered today, the coun'
ell not going Into the broader principles.
Tomorrow 'the railroads will ask for I
substantial reduction of their assessments.
It Is understood that Representative White
of Story county will appear before the
commission and ask that the assessment
be left where It Is and that no Increase
be made In the farm land assessment. He
will claim that while land values have
gone up in the past few years, ths Incomes
from the farms are' no greater than 'six
years ago.
Railroads and Farms.
W. W. Baldwin of the Burlington has
discovered by Inquiries to the county aud
itor that the taxes which farm lands rent
ing for cash rent pay Is but per cent
of the cash received as rent, while the
railroads pay taxes, as he claims, which
Is IS per cent of their net earnings, the
net earnings corresponding to the cash
rent of the farms. The fact that reports
this year show wide discrepancies between
the assessed value and sale value of
farms, showing that the sate value on the
average has inqreased nearly 40 per cent,
while the assessed value Is actually lower
that formerly. Is the feature of the assess
ment business this year.
Manv claim that under the law, -.he
executive council cannot get around rats
Ing farm assessments nigner man iney
have ever been before. j
Opinion on Moon Lave.
Attorney General Byers Is preparing a
decision relative to the Moon law at the,
request of a number of persons who have

aw. This decision will probably be made
public tomorrow. It Is understood that he
will hold that the legislative Intent gov
erns and that the intent of the Moon law
was that no further aaloon permits be
granted above one to each 1.000 population
after the passage of the law, which was
April U.
Flaht on New Ratea.
The railroads may ask for an Injunction
to prevent the order of the Interstate Com
merce commission relative to rates through
Des Moines and from Des Moines to the
northwest going Into effect till heard by
the court. The order of the commission
was considered a great victory for Des
Moines business. It Is claimed the Rook
Island will ask for ths Injunction.

the law will cost the hotel men $XW,0.
and on behalf of the state association the
constitutionality ot the law will be at

Forger Commits Salelde.
J. L. Davis, arrested today on a farm
near Knoxvllle, charged with having
passed two forged checks ia Dea Moines,

minutes' absence in which to change his
clothing. Davis passed worthless checks
