CREDIT BELONGS TO TRUE Republican Ci urer Ever since the opening of the municipal campalgn the democrats have been claim- ing the credit for bringing the finances of the ity to a cash basis. The credit be- longs entirely to Frank T. True, renom- Inated by the republicans for the office of city treasurer. It was Frank True who engineered the deal whereby the city finan- ces were placed on a cash basis by the re- funding of the then outstanding indebted- ness. He controlled the outstanding war- rants and it was through his efforts that the city was able to take them up by an issue of refunding bonds. The records of the city are indisputabl yet the democrats all through the cam- paign now drawing to a close have un- blushingly claimed the credit for what was done through True's efforts. Frank True did not occupy the office of city treasurer at the time the refunding bonds were issued, but held the position ot finance clerk, as he had for several years. It was in the early months of 1900 that it was proposed to take up the outstanding to something over ‘warrants, amounting $200,000, by an fissue of refunding bonds. The city’'s Indebtedness was at the limit, and the only manner in which the bonds could be issued In place of the Warran. was by manual exchange, and thereby not Increasing the Indebtedness of the municl- pality. Frank True, then finance clerk, engineered the deal from start to finish, whereby R. Van Vechten of Cedar Raplds purchased the refunding bonds. True con- trolled the warrants held in the east, and they could mot have been even located, much less redeemed, but for his efforts. All the correspondence concerning the deal was between True and Van Vechten, the latter not recognizing anyone in the matter except True. This deal brought to a successful con- summation by True redeemed outstanding indebtedness amounting to over $200,000 and placed Council Bluffs on a cash basis. Fur- ther it saved the city $3,000 & year In in- terest, the warrants were drawing 6 per cent, while the refunding bonds were issued at 4% per cent. Frank True, owing to his experience galned as city finance clerk for several years and during his term as city treasurer, 1s probably better equipped to handle the city’s finances than any other man in the city, and his reelection Monday Is con- ceded.

FAVORABLE REPORT SECURED ON MEASURE Senate Likely Story County Delegates—si Late Yo Act Withont Delay— Names Prouty te Sues (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 29.—(Special.)—The senate of the lowa legislature practically gave notice this morning that if it is found to be impossible to pass the Molsberry blil over the veto another chance will be given the governor to veto a measure hav- ing the same object in view. The bill which was vetoed provided for removing limit of indebtedness on railroad corpora- tiona organized in lowa and doing an in- terstate business. Governor Cummins took exception to the bill chiefly because it was class legislation and that it provided that only one kind of rallrond corporations could increase the Indebtedness bevond the ordinary limit The veto attacks the bill on constitutional grounds. A great many of the members of the senate especlally have taken offense at what they term the fine distinctions drawn Zv the governor on the comstitutional ques- on. Therefore this morning Semator Mols- berry introduced a new bill which repeals entire section 2049 of the code, which re- lates to the indebtedness of railway cor- porations, and provides: Any rallway corporation organized under the laws of this state may, notwithstand- Ing the provisions of section 1611 of the code, fncur indebtedness or liability by an Issue of bonds or otherwise and may mort- gage Its property and franchises in whole Or in part to secure the same in order to pay or refund its indebtedness, to improve ordevelop its property or for the purpose of ffecting the object of its Incorporation, and any issue of bonds to in_such amounts, run for such length of time, ba payable within or without ‘this state, ‘and ear such rate of interest not to exceed the legal rate in the state at the time of issue as the company fssulng the same shall determine. This bill would effectually open the way for an unlimited indebtedness of rallway corporations organized in lowa, provided the company in a proper and legal man- ner removes the limit itself. When the governor had the matter under consideration he received telegrams frcm the heads of several of the raflroads asking that he sign the bill, which indicates that it Is desired by more than one. In fact, several of the lowa corporations are en- gaged in making improvements which will cest more than the indebtedness allowed under the present law. The bill when introduced this morning was referred to the committee on corpora- tons, which committee met and imme- diately reported it out for passage. It will 20 on the calendar Monday and will prob- ably be taken un as soon as the veto mes- sage s considered and disposed of. There 15 mo hove of passing the original Mols- berry bill over the veto of the governor, but the new one wil! be sent him at once. Senate Limits Debate. This morning the senate passed the reso- lution which oprovides that hereafter all discussion of bills shall be confined to seven-minute speeches by members, and no member shall yleld a part of his time to another. The resolution providing for night sessions next week was also passed. Bills Passed. Bills were vassed as follows: To give rent free to the adiutant auartermaster and surgeon of the lowa Soldlers’ Home the houses they occupy at the home; to re- quire fire-escapes on all public buildings; to guarantee a fixed salary for shorthand reporters. The senate concurred in the hcuse amendments to the bill to relieve the state treasurer from lability on suits brought to recover taxes and fees wrong- tully collected. Senators Courtright, Hazleton, Hubbard and Lambert were named as conferees cm the electric interurban biil. ‘The house passed the bill to amend the law relative to veterinary surgery, etc. It merely corrects an error. The bill to completely change the law In regard to bullding viaducts over railrcad tracks was pi d. It simplifies the law and was agreed on by the railroads and all persons interested. A bill to legalize the acts of all notaries public in all cases where the acknowledge- ments have been defective or incompleto was passed; also a number of special legal- 1zing acts. Large Shipping Company. The Great Lakes Register company filed articles of incorvoration with the county recorder this morning.

State Sues You The attorney general of lowa today began suit against Lafe Young for $4,562, the um alleged to have been overcharged the state by Young when he was state binder. Some time ago the attorney general gave an opinion that at least a part of this sum could be recovered in court and the execu- tive council authorized him to begin suft on behalf of the state. More Prouty Delegates.
