Discusses Railroad Valuation.

discusses railroad valuation.
Il hope some day to see Iowa make
an Intelligent valuation of its rail-
roads," said Clifford Thorne, state
railroad commissioner. in discussing
the subject which lies closest to his
heart. 1T will help the commission
in Its discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY
of raising or reducing railroad rates
and 1t will be instructive to the state
executive council in making assess
ments. 1t will help the railroad COM
mission In cases which 1t has pend
ing before the federal courts, where
in the railroads have specifically at
tackled the adequacy of their re-
turns from their Iowa business. II
we had an Intelligent method of rail-
road valuation, 1t would be easy to
ascertain whether their contention,
that they are not getting fair returns
on their Iowa investments. is correct
or not. Our sister states have adopt
ed the physical valuation idea and
] believe that 1t is bound to come in
Iowa sooner or later"

Farmer. Aroused over Raise.

Members of the state executive
council are beginning to wonder how
much longer they must endure the
complaints Of the farmers of this
state over the recent action OF the
council in raising the taxable value
OF farm lands. In some counties the
values were increased over 20 per
cent and the farmers are kicking
with vengeance. Several OF them
have visited the state house during
the past few days and have demand
ed an explanation Of the action OF
the council. 1t is even intimated that
the county officers in many Of the
COUNTIES OF the state will not take
the increase seriously and will only
require taxes on the values made by
the county assessors.

The American Indian.

The old question OF the origin of the
red man of America is still an open
one, the last word by no means having
been said. The most probable theory
Is that which links the Indian with
the Mongolaids Of East Africa. whose
physical characteristics are strikingly
similar to those OF the American aborig-
Inc. Between the Indian and the Jap
anese there are many pronounced re-
semblances. and some excellent an-
thorities are of the opinion that 1t was
from that eastern race that the Indian
originally sprung. If. as some think.
the Eskimos are the best representa-
lives of the Indian as he was upon his
arrival here. the theory Of the jap
anese origin is immensely strength
ened, since the likeness between the
Eskimo and the japanese is striking
indeed.-New York American

This amount of $22,413. SO is not
all the money spent on the roads Of

road receipts plus the June distribu-

This amount, however, is large
enough to make the tax payers OF
