San Francisco, August standing
on the bridge of the Thomas eagerly
waiting with the ships captain for
a glimpse of his native shore, General
Jacob II. Smith, trieu by court martial
for having ordered the island of Sa-
mar transferred into bowling wilder

learn that the president had retired
him from active duty. The pilot boat
which met the Thomas just outside the

falling light of pinnacle lamp. the
veteran read the message that APP

of land, but Geeral Smith had retired
to his cabin, where, with his wife and
chief aide. Lieutenant j. H. Shields, If

the outcome of the long ordeal through
which he had passed.
Six hours later, when the Thomas

NO changes were made IN the as
sessments o. the Iowa Central and the
Wabash systems. OF the total assess
ment, but $4,000 is made on new
track.
While actually there has been a
large increase in the assessment, as
compared with the gross earnings,
there has been bat a small relative
raise. The total assessment a year
ago was SAT OF ,258. The gross caro-.
ings the preceding year were $52,354.-
BIT. The percentage of assessment
to gross earnings waS 500. The gross
earnings reported this year for 1901
were $56,079,943. The percentage of
this years assessment to the gross
earnings of the roads is little over
81 per cent. In other words, on the
basis Of gross earnings, the assess
ment Of tlfis year is one per cent
greater than it was year ago.
Des Moines, Aug. 2.-Computations
made yesterday indicate that the exc
cutive council arrived at the total of
the railroad assessment by using the
capitalization of net earnings method.
This Is the process that was advocated
by Lieutenant Governor John Herriott
last winter in his famous communica-
ton to the senate ways and means
committee. II is also one of the ways
of arriving at valuations that was most
severely criticised by the railroad at
toTneys and tax auditors in the public
hearings before the executive council.
A study of the assessment makes it
plain by what means the council ar
rived at the total valuation of the
roads. When that body set to work on
the assessment, the first step taken
was to ascertain the gross assessment
Taking the total net earnings of the
roads, amounting to l6,460, 1852, the
council appears to have capitalized
this at per cent. The result thus OBJ
tanned was S274,349 597. Supposedly,
this represented the total actual valua-
ton of railroad property in Iowa. The
council then took 1871 per cent as the
average assessment of real estate Of
the state and assessed the roads at the
same ratio. There was a slight varia-
ton of a few hundred thousand dol
lars from the sum so obtained, but in
q general way this was lie process Of
arriving at Tie Total of the assessment.
The council in using this process
and taking 1871 per cent of the valua-
ton of the railroad property as the
taxable value, seemingly accepted the
view of the railroad representatives
that real estate was assessed no higher
and that the assessment on railroad
property could not be greater. After
arriving at the total assessment to be
placed on the roads, the council pro-
oeeded to make the distribution. In
distributing, gross earnings, physical
condition and other facts were taken
into consideration.
