Raps Ferret Law
Bill to Do Away with Measure Likely
to Have Strong Support Before
Legislature.
The Introduction of a bill in the Iowa
legislature Thursday to repeal the tax fer
ret law, with the certainty that it will
pfcss. has awakened considerable Interest
around the countv court house, where the
has been given a full try-out and
found undesirable. The Boards of County
Supervisors have employed many tax fer
rets during the doiten or more years the
law has been In force, and with very un
satisfactory results In almost all cases.
The consequence la there Is a unanimity
of sentiment among county officials favor
ing the repeal of the law.
The principle of the law was repugnant
to the thinking members of the county
board, and for several years at the begin
ning no appointment was made. At the
start the law gave the collector shout 25
per cent of the delinquent taxes collected,
and tt appealed to the local officials as a
measure Intended not only to punish delin
quent taxpayers and shirkers, but pri
marily Intended to make a new and profit
able situation for political mendicants. For
this reason the board was wary about fill
ing the office. Demands of place seekers
became too Importunate and an appoint
ment was made. The results Justified the
opinions of the supervisors. The tax ferret
got the big etid of the bargain and the
members of the board were rewarded with
rounds of abuse from taxpayers who were
caught.
In subsequent contracts special agree
ments concerning compensation were en
tered Into, with better satisfaction, until
the law was amended fixing the compensa
tion at 15 per cent. All of the ferrets were
outside parties and they carried away
thousands of dollars.
The repugnant feature of the law Is thai
it makes widows and orphans the principal
and certain victims of the ferrets, for the
records show that the chief Income came
from estates where filings became neces
sary, and In many cases money was taken
from widows and orphans where the exac
tions permitted by the law were like rob
bing the grave.
For the last three years Ben McCoy of
Oskaloosa has been the county ferret, and
he has administered the law In a way to
eliminate Its harsh features. In the en
tire period he has collected tlZVui and has
received as compensation $1,823.17. as shown
by the books In the office of County Treas
urer Mitchell. The largest amount he col
lected from any Individual was In the
Thomas French estate, where taxes to the
amount of II were taken from thm
wdow nd wn0 were left a farm
In Boomer township.
"I earnestly hope the legislature will re
peal the law," said Treasurer Mitchell yes
terday afternoon. "It Is not profitable or
uemrauie in a civiusea community. it
forces payment from people always least
able to pay. I would like to see enacted
In Its stead a measure that will return the
taxation of all mortgages and real estate
contracts at the time of filing. If a fee
of only one-half and three-quarters of J
per cent of the amount Involved were ex
acted at the time of filing It would turn
In more money than the ferret law does,
and then there would be no hardships and
evasions by shrewd fellows. For example,
one Omaha man has over $100,000 Invested
In Pottawattamie county farm loans and
never pays a cent of taxes on his mort
gages. The mortgages are all -made to a
trustee, who is his agent. The filing fee,
would cover all such cases as this. The
amount of the fee should cover the entire
life of the mortgage, and then nobody
could -decently object to paying even 1 pet
cent for the whole period."

duced In the house by Mr. Zeller for ap
pointment of a committee to Inquire Into

President Itefera mils.
The senators unanimously decided today
that they would leave to the president
of the senate the matter of designating
what committees shall receive the bills for
consideration. In the past the senators
have been able to designate what commit
tees shall receive the bills. By the adop- ;
tlon of an amendment to the rules today
the president will attend to that duty,
unless the senate Itself shall designate
where a bill may be referred. It will put
a stop to railroading bills through by refer
ence to favorable committees.
The first bill to get through cither branch
of the legislature was Senator Qulgley's
bl.l authorizing sheriffs and county at
torneys to employ detectives In ferreting
out crime. This was passed, with the
publication clause dropped, by a vote of
41 to 1.
The president appointed Senators l.arra
bee and Francis n committee on arranging
the Dolllver memorial. He also named
committees to prepare memorial resolutions
In honor of Senator Ericson and Senator
Crawford.
The senate adopted the concurrent resolu
tion for a visiting committee to go to the
state educational Institutions.
When the bill to grant Polk county an
additional Judge, making five In all, came
up In the senate objection was made to
the wording of the bill or the punctuation,
nnd when It was proposed that this be
fixed objection was made because It ought
to be considered along with a bill for a
general revision of the law as to judges.
The bill was postponed until next Tuesday.
Limitation on Indictments.
Senator Spauldlng Introduced a bill to
limit the time In which an Indictment may
be found, to seven years.
Senator Smith of Shelby Introduced a bill
to give 75 per cent of collateral Inheritance
taxes to the counties and to relieve broth
ers and sisters and their families from

tion; also a bill relating to the method of
Issuing teachers' certificates.
Senator Fitehpatrtck Introduced a bill
legalizing all real estate Instruments where
the corporate seal has been left off, In case
the papers were signed by a corporation.
Senator Balluff put In a bill to appropri
ate $4,800 for the soldiers orphans' home.
On the question of adjournment over Sat
urday a hot discussion arose In the senate.
Samnils moved a resolution providing for
adjournment until Monday, but this was
opposed by Clarkson and Allen of Poca
hontas. The senate passed the resolution.
New bills In the house:

Red Cross First Aid '
Car to Be Seen Here
Pullman Used for Instruction
Workmen in Hazardous Trades
Arrives Today.
of
I'nder the direction of Dr. M. W. Glas
gow, a splendidly equipped Pullman car,
known as the American Red Cross Flrat
Aid car, will arrive In the city for educa
tional work about 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The car Is being taken on a tour over the
country in a campaign of instruction to
workmen in hazardous occupations, con
cerning the proper treatment of Injured
comrades In case of accident.
It is the only Red Cross car In that work
In the country and is exclusively an en
terprise of the Red Cross society. The
car was donated by the Tullman company
and Is being maintained by the society.
On his stops at each town Dr. Glasgow
conducts his dt rr.onstrutlon before railroad
men, factory workers and electricians. The
car started on Its tour December 15 from
Buffalo. N. Y. After a trip through the
lakt region and down through Indiana it
arrived In Council Bluffs Wednesday. Two
meetings of workmen were held in It
there.
Dr. Glasgow explained last night that
the enterprise has the double object of
teaching the proper care of the Injured
and of teaching the prevention of acci
dents, lie exp'ained that, according to
expert statistics, tlii per cent of the acri
dints were due to carelessness, and that
most of the injuries sustained In them
were made serious only b. cause the vic
tims received poor attention before skilled
medical aid was brought to them.
The car will remain at the local station
until 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, when
the trip west will be taken up. Dr. Glas
gow Intends keeping Ids rolling medical
school oien to the geneial puhllo through
out lis stay here.
"My no-thud of Instruction," he e
plained. "Is to explain what to do for an
Injured person the moment he is hurt ami
what not to do. Many Inluries really not
fatal of tl enu-elv c are made so througii
