IOWA TAX LAWS.
An Attempt Being Made TO Equalize
Taxation.

Special to the Globe.
DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 10.-Hutchin-
sons taxation bill occupied nearly all the
senate's time to-day and being sharply OPP
posed BY those who are said to represent
outside capital. Its author says:
The primary object Of the bill is to correct
unequal taxation on different species of prop
erty, and to secure more definite and special
manner OF listing moneys and credits of in
dividuaIs Of private banks, bankers and
brokers. as well as Of state and national
banks. real estate merchandise, manufact-
urers' goods and personal property. The abuse
under our assessment law is now that in one
comfy live stock is assessed at so per cent.
of its real value, in another at 80 per cent,
and in still another 10 per cent. In like man
ner, real estate, moneys, credits and personal
property are assessed at as many different
ratios OF valuation. Section 312 of the code,
the only law for assessing pri-
waite banks. as well as state banks,
is too indefinite. It is time that
under this section state banks might be
reached, because they are required TO file
sworn statement with the auditor of state.
Hence their capital and surplus can be ascer-
tanned by the assessor, but private banks in
many parts have little or no capital when the
assessor comes round. This bill is intro
duced TO correct this evil. so that the capital
of all banks, including surplus, will be
reached for assessment.

Many Promotions Coming.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10,-The death of
Mai. Gen. Hancock and the retirement of
Maj. Gen. John Pope, which will take eff
feet on the 9th of March, will cause two va
cancies in this grade of general officers and
promotions all along the line. There is al
ready considerable speculation in regard to
the principal vacancies. The general i'm
preston now is that Brig. Gen. Howard
and Brig. Gen. Terry, who are first and
second respectively in line of seniority, will
be made major generals, but the friends of
Brig. Gems. Crook and Miles insist that
their chances for promotion are equally
good. The following officers are appli-
cants for promotion TO the grade of briga-
der general:
Coils. Ruger, Eighteenth infantry; Otis,
Twentieth infantry; Merritt, Fifth cavalry:
Carlin Fourth infantry; Harper, Ninth cav
airy: Carr, Sixth cavalry; Bradley, Thirteenth
infantry; Brooke, Third infantry: McCook,
Sixth infantry; Wilcox, Twelfth infantry;
Black, Twenty-thlrd infantry; Better
Twenty-fourth infantry, and Ayers, Second
artillery.
Most of these applications were filed in
anticipation Of the retirement of Mai. Gen.
Pope and before the death of Gen. Han
cock.

THE LEGION PROUD OF HIM.
The death of w. s. Hancock is personal
grief to every companion of the Loyal
Legion. for every one of US mas peen PROUD
of him as our senior COMMANDER, aho sii VINO
have known him personally have peen oe-
Votedly attached to him as friends. But he
has been more. He has, through whole life
time been an unblemished type and pattern
of the American soldier. He entered his
country's service in boyhood as cadet In the
military academy, and continued not only
faithful but brilliantly efficient in its service
to the day of his death. His loyalty did not
waver in the dark days of 1861, but he earn
estly pressed into the foreground OF the
struggle and so bore himself that his name
became proverbial for both dashing leader
ship and manly, persistent courage. without
undue ambitions or personal self-seeklng ne
won his way to fame by splendid conduct IN
an unparalleled series OF battles, the conn
dence of brother officers and soldiers outruh-
ming advances in rank and applaudlng every
step he gained in promotion. Wnen 9ea-
ousies and intrigue were rife in the great
army To which he belonged, neither his devo-
ton to the flag nor his jealous suboroinauon
TO his commander were questioned. ne
learned only to do and TO dare greatly Tor ms
country. He inspired his brother ofhcers
with pure and
NOBLE EMULATION
in heroic deeds and his soldiers with an en-
thusiasIn of courage which doubled. their
power In the supreme crisis OF the war.
when Yicksburg and Gettysburg permanently
tulned the tide in favor of the national cause,
he reached the full maturity of his powers,
and in the great battle of Pennsylvania was
fortunate in the bearing of great RESPONSE
bilities in such way that victory was IN
large measure due to his broad military Judg-
ment and his conspicuous bravery. Severely
wounded, he made haste to resume his duty
with his troops, and from the wilds of the
Appomattox the long series of fierce engage
ments made each battle name new decora-
ton of his soldierly renown. His last APP
pointment in the war to be commander OF
the veteran corps fifty indicated the univer-
sal Judgment that no one better typified the
character and virtues of the men who be-
came the American ''old guard" Whilst he
had political convictions and attachments
from which the citizen soldier is not ex-
oluded, he carefully avoided every act which
could be construed into improper PARTISAN
ship and always set an honorable example of
the conduct in this regard, which best be-
comes those who wear the nations uniform.
As an officer and gentleman, a citizen and
a soldier he was LITERALLY without fear and
without reproach. His name ought to be
and will be cherished as a national pride and
treasure.
