ports are due in Iowa, and the fact
that twenty OF the thirty companies
have already forway ned to the executive
council their annual statements is q
reminder that at no distant date the
of fixing valuations and making assess
ments on this property. The reports
already include only a few Of the
lines that cross the state. Generally
the reports show little change in mile
age and some increased business. The
reports OF the Omaha road and OF the
Santa Fe show that these companies
increased business and profits on their
Iowa mileage; the Rock Island and
the Illinois Central increased receipts
but decreased profits; the Wabash in
increased business materially and cut
down its net loss; the Union Pacific in
creased business and correspondingly
Increased Its net loss; and the Iowa
Central and the Minneapolis did less
business and made less OF profit. The
Omaha road appears to have done the
best in the matter Of increasing busi-
ness. The reports show that the oper-
ating expenses have generally been
greatly Increased on all the roads in
Iowa.

items from the reports thus far made
