The net taxable value of all prop
erty in Iowa increased $7,957,177
in 1910, as compared with 1909, &C.
cording to statistics compiled by Joe
Wall, deputy in the Office of state
auditor Bleakly. The taxable land
values, in that same period of time
increased $1,360,559, while the tax
able value of personal property
made the enormous increase of 49,
232,779. This gives a faint idea OF
the wonderful development of Iowa
lands as we'll as illustrating the fact
that people who remain in Iowa real
" make money and increase their
holdings of personal property. In
viewing the total net taxable value
increase it should be borne in mind
that the state tax rate has decreased
a mill each year for the past three
years. The total ne. taxable value Of
all property in Iowa for the year
1910 was $6e3,211,302, while in
1909 it was $6S5,253,901; the tax
able value of lands in Iowa in 1910
was $369,991, LOG, while in 1909 it
was $368,63O,547; the taxable value
of personal property in the state in
1910 was $134,4S5,201, while in
1909 the taxable value of personal
property was $126,252,422.
