Railroad Assessment Increased.

Railroad Assessment Increased.
An increase of $3,987.740 in the as
sessment of the actual value of the
steam railroad property OF Iowa has
been made by the executive council,
after long session In which It valued
corporate property for taxation,
equalized the real and personal prop
erty assessments made by the coun-
ties and fixed the state tax levy at "a
mills.
There Is an increase in the tax
able value of realty fixed by local
county assessors, after equalization Of
$l6,225,957; of personal property, S.
624,556; of telegraph and telephone
company property about 100000; of
banks, $134,S21. The total increase in
the taxable value of all railroads,
steam and interurbans, therefore, was
$1,131,756.
Probably the most conspicuous fea-
ture of the assessment of corporate
property made by the executive coun-
Gil was the increase of the taxable
value of the Des Moines Union COM
pany of $4,000 a mile, making it
100000 mile.
The new railroad assessment keeps
pace with the increase in the valua-
ton Of real estate. All of the trunk
lines have been increased and the as
sessment per mile on the main lines
of four of them has been advanced.
The Burlington goes from $14,S40
to $4,000 mile on the main lines,
the Great Western from $685. to S.
800, the Milwaukee from $10,716 to
$4,000 and the Northwestern from.
$15,366 to SIS, 700.

total increase of assessment, taxable
valuation of those companies which

Accountants Plan a System.

At a meeting of the state board of
accountants. created by law of the
last general assembly to devise uni
form accounting system for the
clerks, auditors and treasurers of the
counties of the state, O. B. Peterson
of Story county was chosen chairman.
A meeting. was held In the offices
of the lieutenant governor at the
state house and the general work of
the commission was gone over in
detail by the commission 1t is COM
posed of seven members appointed
by the auditor of state, under author
ity of the law.
Its work is similar to that of the
commission on municipal accounting
which devised a uniform system Of
Bookkeeping for the cities of the state
I last year. The county work is sep
arate and distinct from that relating
to cities. The county commission is
composed of o. B. Peterson of Story
>county, F. w. Leedham of Clinton
county, A. w. Miller of Henry county,
F. G. Bryner of Benton county, w. c..
Dewell of Kossuth county, w. H..
Cahil of Guthrie county and c. G..
Hunt of Poweshiek county.
Mr.. Bryner was elected secretary
Of the commission. It's meetings will
continue from time to time until the
form of the accounts to be inaugural
ed in the different counties has been
determined
Some of the newspapers of the
state have been commenting on what
has been given out as a decision of
the auditor relative to the debt limit
OF cities. 1t has been reported that
he has held that debt was debt
that is, that there could be no offset
on account Of cash on hand.
The attorney general has deter
mined this question, on query of the
auditor of state, and the auditor has
not found it necessary to make an
original ruling. The attorney general
holds that the evidences of debt of a
municipality, less the funds on hand
in the bond fund, collected specifcal-
ly to pay bonds, will constitute the
debt Of municipality.

exchange is an illegal act. The bill
alleges that the public lands sought to
be exchanged are leased to Charles
Gay.
It also appears that the area of the
lands which it is proposed to exchange
is 1869 acres, same being all the pub
lie lands on the Island of Lanai, of
which area Mr. Gay holds government
leases for 1860 acres, paying to the
territorial government large sums an
nually as rent therefor. 1t also appears
that the total area of the Island of
Lanai is not more than $4,000 acres.
Under Sec. 276 R. L., THE commits
sioner may with the consent of the
governor sell public lands not under
lease, in parcels or not over one thou
sand acres, at public auction for cash.
And he may, with such consent,
sell public lands not under lease in
parcels of not over six hundred acres,
at public auction upon part credit and
part cash. Provided, however, that
land patents may be issued in exchange
for deeds of private lands or by way of
compromise upon the recommendation
of the commissioner and with the APP
proval of the governor without an
auction sale ."
1t is important to observe that this
Section, (276, r. H., deals only with
Public lands not under lease" And It
Us, therefore, wholly immaterial whether
such lands are to be sold for cash, or
upon part credit and part cash, or ex-
changed for private lands, they must
be public lands not under lease"
This, to my mind disposes of the
whole question.
However, if there remains any ques-
ton as to the intent and scope of Sec.
276, and as to whether or not it deals
with public lands under lease, or only
with public lands not under lease, we
shall find that Secs. 27S and 2S5 inclu-
sive covers, as it would seem. every
possible phase Of the management ana
disposition Of public lands under lease,
including the land in question, and that
no provision is contained therein, as in
Sec. 276, for the sale or exchange of
public lands.

CHIEF ENGINEER OF SILDRA
KNOWS STEAMBOATS, IN ALL
THEIR PARTS.

The hearing of the Chiusa Maru libel
was resumed this morning before U. S.
Judge Dole. There was only one wit
ness heard during the morning. This
was Chief Engineer Heaken of the
S. 5. Sildra. He had to qualify as an
expert on steam vessels and he quail
fed in a way that showed him to know
a vessel from the heel to the tips of
the masts. In addition to having
bought a steamship in Hamburg, he
had been on surveys of steamers in the
Orient, Italy and London. He was al
lowed to testify as an expert.
He placed the value of the Chiusa
Maru as $125,OOO, and he showed by
segregation every part Of her, here en-
gines, her hull, her winches and other
appliances, exactly why she was worth
such a figure. His cross-examlnation
by Judge Stanley was very searching,
but the Norwegian witness was able to
weather the storm Of questions.
The court adjourned at noon until
$3.50 a. m. Monday. Yesterday after
noon c. A. Bon was called to testify
relative to Lloyd's register as A. Lew
