Des Moines, Aug. 15-The regular

The highest temperature Of the sea-

and this, with excessive humidity,
made the weather conditions oppressive

the needs of all growing crops.
| In considerable portions Of the state
the wet weather was not favorable for
stacking or threshing and oats in the
shock received additional injury from
continued dampness. In the northern

Taxes.
Varied Valuations Evened Up For
the Different Counties in.
crease and Decrease.

Des Moines, Aug. 15.-secretary
completed calculating and verifying the
result of the boards labors in the
equalization Of taxation over the state.
There was little change in real es-
tate valuation from that turned in by
the county assessors, but the change in
live stock valuation in some counties
was enormous. In Audubon county the
increase in the valuation Of three-year-
old steers amounted to so per cent; in
Des Moines the valuation of yearling
colts was increased So per cent.
The changes ranged from these fig
ures down to decreases as great as %
per cent in one instance.
Taken as whole, however. there is
a. considerable net increase over the
state at large and the boards work will
result not only In more fairly distribut-
| ing the burden Of taxation, but in a
material addition to the states revenue.
| Owing to the extreme and frequently
absurd differences in the valuation of
4 live stock by the assessors of different
counties the equalization of the live
stock assessment proved the most diff
ficult task of ALL and that of cattle the
most difficult of the live stock. The av-
erage assessment of the state for cows
! is 1882; for bulls, 1895; for feeding
cattle, 1928; for three-year-old steers,
1896; for two-year-old steers, 32.65; for
yearling steers, 23.71; for two-year-old
heifers 24.39, and for yearling heifers,
1850.
After much elaboration the board
/ finally concluded to raise the assess
ment in each county of a district which
was below the average for that district
to within per cent of the average fol
ment for the counties above the aver
age. This leaves a difference of 10 pei
cent to allow for local conditions of the
live stock and different valuations b.
the assessors, between the counties o.
each district, and is probably the mos
equitable plan that could be devised
although it is far from satisfactory.
The new equalization of the assess
/ ment of horses, mules. sheep and hog.
was concluded on different basis.
was deemed unnecessary to divide tn,
state into separate districts for thi.
4 purpose as it was not considered tina
4 there is such great difference in valu
in the different parts of the state. TIL
assessment of this stock was equalize'
by establishing an average for the stat
at large.
