PRISON POPULATION COO.
Number Of Prisoners At Ananaesa
Greatest in Many Years.

Special to Times Republican.
Anamosa, July 26.-The count at the
Iowa state reformatory here now stands
al an even 600, the highest for many
years. 1t was claimed by some that
when the law was changed to the inter-
mediate sentence that it would lower
the population OF the prisons. but on
the other hand it has materially IN
creased as the count at the Fort Maul-
son penitentiary is also high above the
average, being SIS. 1t was also claimed
by opponents of the law that the law
violators would not have to serve as
long sentences as under the Old plan.
This idea has also proven to be wrong
the majority are now compelled to
serve longer sentenc es than they form
erly would under the old law. The sem
fences now are more equal; that Is. a
man convicted foc larceny must receive
a five year sentence at least. While un-
der the old law some received five years
while others got off with six months

The increase in taxable valuation
therefore amounts to substantially
$4,000 900 more than last year. Ii
must be remembered, however. that
about nine million Of this was added
TO farm lands ard town lots by the
local assessors, who also took of a
half million on the persona! property
assessments. But in the finish the in
crease Will not be quite so much, be-
cause there is yet 10 come from the
total as reported the exem pcions. which
will this year be larger than before.
The increase in railroad assessments
Of $4,000, 600 raises the railroad assess
ment from $50. oa5, 900 to about sS7,-
$4,000. which with the express. tele
graph, telephones and car lines will
make about the s7l,7ooooo shown
ahcre. On the railroads alone this is
distributed as follows: Northwestern,
s675.442: Burlington. s32:sss: Rock
Great Western. $c11.O34: Santa Fee
s49, 400: Atlantic line. ss4150: with q
few minor changes elsewhere.
The figure. as finally announced by
the state executive cour ell were not
entirely correct, because. for instance
one county was missing on the as
zessment returns and because the teIe-
phone assessments are rot yet COM
plete.
The actual work Of read justine ard
equaHzing land values In the various
parts OF the state shows how difficult
was the process OF making assess
1nents this year. Every county was
figured over carefully. Then changes
were agreed upon purew for equaliza-
ton purposes these changes ranging
up to IS per cent, there being IS coun-
ties in which no change was made. No
deductions were found necessary.
When this was completed the council
considered what should be done 10
make farm land values correspond to
other values, OF TO more nearly COM
ply with the letter OF the law as to
actual values. Some members wanted
10 per cent or more increase and 9TH
ers per cent or less. A compromise
was effected on az per cent This
added to the adjusted valuations per
acre makes the total increases or
dered In the counties.
