MAY MEAN NEW LAW
Radical Changes in Taxation Laws
Likely to Result From Iowa Supreme
Courts Decision in Case Of Cedar
Rapids Bank vs.. Linn County and
Treasurer Carroll.
pecial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Oct 23-One OF tbs
most important opinions ever handed
down by the supreme court of Iowa, Is
that given in the cases Of the Security
Savings Bank Of Cedar Rapids VS.
Linn county and Charles d. Carroll
treasurer, appellants, which will un-
doubtedly result in an agitation that
may compel the legislature at i.s
coming session to pass a taxation Law
similar to that now in effect in Cali
fornia and few other states.
The question of taxation of moneys
and credits, which includes real estate
. mortgages. is one that has been dis
cussedssince the state was admitted to
the union, but no one has ever solved
the problem as we'll as it has been
settled in California, where the holder
of a mortgage has 10 pay taxes on the
same, the property owner paying taxes
on the property at its whole value less
the incumbrance. But the law pro-
vides that moneys and credits shat
be taxed on different rate than realty
which is seldom assessed at its actual
full value, while moneys and credits
are assessed at 100 cents on the dol
lar.
The California law provides that
mortgages shall be assessed In the
name of the person to whom they are
given, unless any and all assignments
are duly recorded. Non-residents are
q sessed the same as residents, but
nom residents never, of course, give to
the assessors in their place of residence
any account of their California hold
ings, and they are therefore assessed
but once.
It is fact not generally known, per-
haps, that scores of monied men have
left Iowa on account of its inequitable
and inadequate taxation laws. 1t is be-
lieved that banking Institutions Of the
state will be interested now in the pas
sage of such new laws as will place
the man with money to loan on the
same basis as the man with all his
wealth in real estate. This can only
be done by radical changes.
The opinion is of vital interest 70
every Iowan seeking to invest money in
real estate.

Iowa City Oct, 23.-The development
Of fencing as college sport at the

Des Moines, Oct. 23.-It has not es-
capped the attention of many of the
democrats of the state that, according
to the reports of what Bryan said II
his one speech in Iowa, he did not say
very much about Mr.. Porter and prac-
tically nothing in calculation OF ths
platform on which he is running. IL:

thing about Porter. then suddenly
burning to the platform and declaring
that the Iowa democratic platform was
admirable. But he did net take up the
demand Of the platform for tariif

Porter. OF any consequence. was that
he referred to him as "a veteran In tne

with Governor Cummins as "a repupll'

ly in the southern part OF the state,
where they have been in the habit Oh
having real democracy preached 10

republicans had been saying they

would knife the local tickets, all tins
has been smoothed out and all will
vote the ticket straight. In another
county it remains only for few words
from responsible persons to end all
factionalism. But he gave 1t as his
deliberate opinion that the republican
majority would be about normal in the
three counties.
w. W. Epps, of Ottumwa, the Sixth
district member of the republican state
central committee. and member of the

yesterday having case in the SUI

his opinion Wapello county will give
Governor Cummins from 700 to, 800
majority over Porter despite the des-
perate efforts of the democrats to work
for big showing for their ticket. Il
believe that the Sixth district will give
Governor Cumminss nearly 5000 major
ity and that Major Lacey will have a
good big majority for congress There
Is lots Of good work being done in the
Sixth and the voters are right" In
view of the fact that the democrats
have been basing great hopes of cap
ture of the Sixth district, this repor.
is quite comfortable. Mr.. Epps has
