Railroad TaXatiOn-Letter
from DIR. Keables.
III. r.. 14TH GEN. ASSEMBLY,
DpS MoineS. March 3, lt12


Des Moines, March 5, 1872. J
FRIEND SPERRY:-Ien enclose you an
Act for the taxation Of railroads, that
contains the general provisions that
will finally become law. 1T is not
perfect; but enough has been devel-
oped in the two Committees to show
this is to be the general provision.
1t contains the best provisions Tor
our County of any plan proposed.
Chapter llS Laws Of 'GG relating
to the publication Of the Laws in
newspapers will not be repealed en-
tirely, but will be modified.
Yours Truly, b. +. KEAELEs.
The bill which DIR. Keables en-
closes is Senate File No. l46, oy
Larrabee. We cannot find space to
quote it in full; but here Is brief
summary.
N The State Census Board shall +,
in March of each year, assess all rail-
road property in the State, except
lands not used in operating the roads.
t2l All railroad companies concerned
shall, on or before Feb'y ID in each
wear. furnish to said Census Board
sworn statements enumerating all
their property in the State. in detail.
(3) The said property shall he assessed
at the same rate as other property,
considering its location, present value,
competition, expenses, earnings &c.
i4l The Census Board shall transmit
TO the Supervisors Of each County q
statement showing the amount Of
said property and the length of
main track Of road in such County.
81 This statement, duly record ed ly
the Supervisors Of each County, shall
be the basis on which said sSupe--
visors shall levy tax per mile of eadl
road according to its location in Their
County. l6l All such property shall
be taxable, on said valuation, at the
same purposes as the property OF IL
dividuals. (7) All laws concerning
enforced payment Of delinquent
taxes shall apply to this property
also. tS) The taxes herein provided
for shall be i'm lieu Of all OtEer taxes
on such property; and railroad lands
not held for use in the operation OF
the railroads shall he taxed the same
AZ other lands in the Counties where
located.

Mr.. Durham writes us a note, dated

Mr.. Durham writes us note, dated
Sth inst, enclosing the bin for the
taxation of railroad property report
ed to the House by the Railroad
Committee, which he thinks will
pass the House without much change.
We have not room for synopsis.
Its main features are similar to those
of the bill enclosed to us by Mr..
Keables, before mentioned; and, like
that, it would make mile of rail-
road in one Township, without even
a depot, pay tax on the same assess
ment as mile of the road in some
city, with all its stations, shops, side
tracks &c. True the one mile of
road, though assessed at the same
figures, would be taxed much less
than the other-but we hardly think
this difference would suffice to make
the matter equal all round.
Senator Mccormack of this County
writes to the Democrat that propo-
sition to put Keokuk, Wapeilo,
Davis, Appanoose, Monroe, Mahaska
and Marion Counties together as one
Congressional District "seems tc
meet with general approval oy the
members from our Distric.." That
would make very compact and
well-shaped District, at any rate.
Great interes. centred on the Stat,
election in New Hampshire las
Tuesday, as it was the "first gun" fo
this Year, and it was known the re
Sule would be very close. Last yea
the Demscrats were successful-fo
the first time in some 20 years. Ii
addition to the Republican and Dem
oeratic tickets, the Temperance ant
Labor Reform tickets were in th'
field and were expected to poll abou
1900 votes each. The canvass is al
ways close in New Hampshire, ant
this year has been more 50 than usu
al. By the way, the Democrats arr
accused Of turning jack from the
bottom" in one instance, after thi:
| fashion: When Gov. Hartman was
to speak in Franklin, the Democrats
bought several hundred tickets to
negro minstrel show, and distributed
them free among the audience. ans
it is said this quiet little dodge seri'
ously reduced the Governors aud'
ence. partial returns from
the election may reach us in time fol

A. F. Sge1ry, Editor.
Notes on Various Matters.

We rejoice to see that one class Of
Congressional plundering is stopped
We mean the practice of allowing
full pay and expenses to men con-
testing seats in Congress. And for
this it appears that we are mainly
indebted to Congressman McCrary OF
Iowa, Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Elections. The stopping
of this kind Of legalized robbery is a
good thing. May it be perpetual.
Senator Wright of Iowa made
what may be called his "maiden
speech" in the Senate on the 27th
ult., on the Sumner resolution con-
cerning the sale OF arms TO the
French. When he sat down, Sena-
tors gathered around him and con-
gratulated him on his successful
effort. 1t is almost needless to add
that the speech gives full reasons FOR
Senator Wright's opposition to Sena-
tors Sumner and Skhurz in their at
tack on the the Administration.
In his letter elsewhere published,
DR.. Keables expresses the belief that
the law providing for the publication
of the laws in newspapers will not be
repealed entirely, but will be modi-
fed. That's just what ought TO De
done-provided the notifications
made are the right ones. For IN
stance: The provision about the
"Iargest circulation" ought to he
stricken out entirely, leaving the
Supervisors of each County free 70
select the newspapers without lhis
worse than useless restriction-a re-
striction which is not only notori-
ously inefficient, but when mas
opened the door for vast amounts oi
"tall swearing" evasion oflaw, ana
violation of all right and justice.
Abolish it, and let Democratic Boards
select Democratic newspapers, anu
Republican Boards Republican
newspapers, without any 4aioDhng
or lodging. Then the people WIZ
Of at least know what to expecs III
this matter when they elect their oa-
pervisors.
At this writing we have not seen
the bill introduced in the House 'a''
thursday by Mr.. Durham, toi increase
the compensation Of Township As,
SCISSORS, but we know the on'e.' y
the bill is a good one, and ieei ''S,
