RAISE ASSESSMENT.
S Rumor of Advance in Tax
LeyieS

An increase in the assessed valua-
ton of Iowa land is looked for after
the assessors have completed their
work and made their returns to the
county officials. 1t is not thought,
however, that the assessment of Wap-
clio county lands will increase to any
great extent, as the assessment two
years ago was high. Then Illinois
farmers were purchasing land in the
northern portion of the county and
paying large price for it; this made
the total revenues larger than in for
mer years. 1t is thought, however,
that there will be an increase in many
of the counties of Iowa
In the next two or three months
there will be made a complete new
real estate and personal property as
sessment for Iowa. The real estate
assessment is made only once in two
years. The assessment this year will
be watched with special interest, in
view of the enormous increase in the
selling price of farm lands in Iowa
since the last assessment was made
The fact that the assessment of two
years ago was very deficient was
plainly shown at the time of the rail
road assessment last July, when the
representatives of the railroad COM
panies appeared before the executive
council, and as an argument against
an increase in railroad assessments
to something near the % per cent of
actual value contemplated by the law
they showed conclusively that the real
estate assessments on which taxes
fhpn hninO 1ouin6
something less than 20 per cent of
selling values. The railroad auditors
and attorneys placed it at about IL
per cent. In support of their position
they presented some tables that indi-
cate the deficiency of the last real
estate assessment.
Showing of the Railways.
The Rock Island Railroad company
had gathered some information as to
the values and assessments along the
line, and made showing in some of
the representative counties of the
state as follows:

some one has pre-empted his land. The
latter will declare that the land is his
and will simply hold under the fact
that possession is nine points of the
law. The question may be taken be-
fore the commissioner, the land grab
Der will bring in several of his I'M
principled fAads to swear that the
property is Nls while the real home
steader may be unable to get a soul
to come to his aid. Mr.. Lacey's new
law compels the attendance of wit
nesses just as is the case in any court
trial.
Congressman Lacey has word from
the postoffice department that sixty
mali sacks filed with garden seeds
