FIVE MILL TAX ON MONEYS.

A straight five mill levy on mon
eys and credits will be levied in Iowa
in the future. A bill by the senate
ways and means committee providing
for such tax was passed in the
house Wednesday by an overwhelm-
ing vote. The measure has already
been passed in the senate and only
the signature of the governor is
needed to make it law Only eight
members voted in opposition to the
passage of the bill.
Under the provisions of the bill, all
moneys and credits shall be taxed
upon the uniform basis throughout
the state of five mills on the dollar
of actual valuation, the money to be
collected where the, owner lives.
Shares of stock in national, state and
savings banks and loan and trust
companies and all monied capital
shall be assessed upon the basis OF %
per cent of the actual value at the
rate of taxation of other property in
the taxing district.
The measure is generally regarded
as one of the most important that has
been before the present legislature
There has been a great demand for a
change in the present laws governing
the taxation of moneys and credits
and it is believed that the new law
will relieve the situation to a great
extent.

NOVEL VIEW OF RECIPROCITY.
The space customariIy devoted t

The space customarily devoted tt
editorial comment in the Review o
Reviews is largely mOnopOlized in 1T
March number by the Canadian rec
iprocity agreement, wherein Editor
Shaw reveals an accurate perception
of the interest and Importance O.
| that measure and its probable effec
on the tariff situation.
The magazine has good words fol
reciprocity, but curious feature OF
| it's discussion is an attempt to re
move from Mr.. Payne the respOnsi.
bilty for the unsatisfactory char.
acter of the Payne-Aldrich revision
1t goes so far as to state that Mr.
Payne was fully conscious that the
bill had been shaped by a vast
coalition of locality preferences and
special interests and that different
kind of bill could not have been
framed unless some strong influence
representing the country as a whole
should be thrown in the balance"
This strong influence, the maya
zine thinks, should have been sup
piled by Mr.. Taft. Here it says,
was the opportunity for President
who had been elected on the promise
of helping to frame real tariff re-
vision"
However, the President did not
improve the opportunity. All he did
was to indicate his wishes as to two or
three items after the bill had reached
the conference stage. The help
which alone could make a satisfac-
tory bill was not extended. "Mr.
Payne" says the Review, did his
best without it,
This exculpation of Mr.. Payne at
Mr.. Taft's expense certainly adds a
novel note to the tariff discussions
that have been going on since Aug.
5, 1909. 1t might be accepted as
imbodying sound view but for an
unflagging zeal on Mr.. Payne's part
in defense of the bill, far exceeding
the defensive zeal on Mr.. Taft's part
of which the magazine speaks.
The Review is so far from accord
ing Mr.. Taft any credit for the reci-
procity achievement that it declares
the time for Presidential pressure
was in the spring and summer of
1909, when the whole subject of
tariff revision was under debate. !"
The public will not be inclined to
accept this conclusion.
Whatever the Taft lapses in the
past, ultimate consumers will well
come the evidences he presents Of
having seen new light and will re-
ceive gratefully his efforts under
changed conditions to afford them re-
lief. Moreover, the recently negoti-
ated reciprocity pact could not have
been concluded except under some
such spur as the Payne-Aldrich law

THE COST OF POOR ROADS.

Here are a few figures cleaned
from official sources:
Wagon roads in the United States
3, 151,57O miles,
Improver (faced with gravel or
something better) -I76,429 miles.
Per cent of improved roads-S2.
Each year 265, 100000 tons of
farm and forest products are hauled
to market or railway stations over
American roads.
This hauling costs $432, 100000,
or, twenty-three cents per ton per
mile.
1t costs about ten cents per ton
per mile to haul freight over an
improved road.
Thus, if all our roads were i'm
proved, itwould mean a saving of
5000, 100000 a year in hauling
alone.
1t will cost fully $3,00O,0OO,OOO
to put all the mud roads in America
in fair shape to make them fairly
good gravel roads.
Three billion dollars is a big sum
yet 100000 per year for
fifteen years would settle the bill
This country of ours is the richest
in the world-yet the poorest, most
tax-burdened country in Europe can
boast better roads than we CAN
