A Valuation Law.

The Gen, r,l Assembly Of Iowa con-
vened a. Iowa City las. Monday. Much
is expected OF this body. We notice that
mos, OF the papers in Iowa have already
given a leader OH some favorite, enact
ment. Many amendments and altera-
tons in the code have already been sug-
gested. A Sunday Law is agi,a1ed, un-
doub,edly prohibi,ory Liquor Law will
be passed, and the question of a Revi-
sion Of the Constitution submitted. A.
mong all the suggestions put forth,
there has no, yet, as we have noticed,
been advanced the idea of new VAL
uation Law; a law 10 require the assess
ment of land by the acre; putting there
on a value in proportion to its quality,
without regard to any Improvements
thereon. Vast quantities OF land in Iowa
are held by spectators. By the Supreme
law of the State, it cannot be taxed high
er than lands belonging to residents. $500
Land is not only assessed and taxed with
regard to its quality and location, but the
inpr ovements thereon are also asses
sed and taxed Every dollar added to
the inpr oye.nents ola farm, increases the
value of nonresident lands adjoining
We, the SPECTATOR pays no tax for the IN
CT ase it is the residents who by their in.
dus,ry and perseverance increase the val
ue OF nonresident lands, and the speed
la,or shares the profits OF the hard labor
and economy OF the poor farmer.
Again, holding lands for speculation
is detriment to the prosperity of the
country. Ii lands were assessed and tax
ed without regard to the improvement
thereon, it would 80 diminish the profit
of their speculations that their lands coul'
BE- bought at more favorable terms. Tn
Spectator, who owns vas, portions Q
land in thus Sta tie, ought to bear his lul
proportion Of taxes. and the only way {.
reach him is to assesses lands by quality
! and no. the improvements situate there
on. No law now agitated would operat
50 much to the prosperity OF our youn,
State, as a law OF this kind. Petition
: should be circulated in this behalf. Thi
: principle is based upon equality, an
. should be established.
