Whereas. The people of Iowa have
full confidence in the ability and integ-
rity of the president of the United

therefore be it
Resolved. BY NE house, that we re-
quest the senate to return 10 the house

house on March 90. declaring the peo-
pie ri iowa to be unalterably opposed to
the establishment of any tariff duties

tempt was made by Senator Crossiey

Unaer the special assessment law
passed BY he senate yesterday the cost
of public Improvements 10 b. assessed
against property cannot exceed % per
|cent of the valre thereof. So If paving
is ordered on street where the prop
lerty IS practically worthless which has
sometimes been done, the great bulk of
4 the cost of that paving viii fall upon
the city. Property con not be combs
Gated. as has been done many a time
! and often heretofore, 10 pay 10. paving
/ and sewers that are for the benefit of
| others. The present law has many
! times operated 10 prevent paving thru
! districts where the property was not
1 very valuable. In such cases the paw
ing certificates could not be sold be-
4 cause the entire value OF the property
was not sufficient to pay the cost of the
sIpavng. The state court decided in a
case of this kind that other property of
the owners of town lots in this unfor-
tunate conditions.a liable to make vi
1.-The balance over ana above the vau.
of the property eonfscated. 1t was tili!
kind of business that took the question
to the supreme court of the United
States. resulting in the decision tha
special assessments must be made ac,
cording to the benefits received by th,
property go assessed. Most of tha law,
yers think that the present c9i'reetiv,
7 act. which was prepared by Senatoi
Trewin. will remove the difficulty fol
the present and lay the founiation fol
future decisions of the supreme cour
which shall establish permanent rule:
for the levying Of special assessment
