In Des Moines federal court Judge Wade opens a case with Missouri and Nebraska judges presiding. Rail and transportation firms challenge the executive council's tax valuations that would raise road taxes by over 1 million dollars, arguing the assessments are unwarranted and unequal. Evidence includes county transfers, farm land values, and state agricultural data showing varied per acre values across counties.

Iowa Guard Encampment Costs Highlight Camp Dodge Use
Adj. Gen. Lasher reports 3,300 Iowa National Guard troops served two weeks at Camp Dodge with about 300,000 in expenses funded by the war department. State costs ran around 7,000 for local expenditures while Nebraska guardsmen used the facilities after Iowa’s contingent departed. The war department requisitioned horses for cavalry units and men returned on foot. Lasher pressed for cavalry horses from Des Moines to support troops at Fort Des Moines and other posts.

Bogus heirs claim estate funds in Iowa suit
Le Mars, Iowa, Sept 12. A perplexing case centers on the estate of the late Rev. Walher M. Tierney. He left a small sum to heirs, but a letter purporting to be from attorney C B E Downey authorized transfers. Clerk of courts Roy Root and aides faced a $2,257.21 claim after drafts were cashed by unknown parties. Heirs contend they never authorized Downey or powers of attorney. The case also cites questionable signatures and missing funds.
