Mr. Bleakly and others of the council
asked Mr.. Pierce where they were to
commence in making an assessment at
actual value-what starting point from
which to work Mr.. Pierce said they
might start in Marshall county. In
response to questions he said he thought
that in that county the land is worth
about two and a third times what II is
assessed for Raise it to that amount
and bring all other counties up to the
standard.
Attention was called to the fact. dur
ing the course of rambling discussion.
that any arbitrary raise Of values would
inevitably resul, in very great Injustice
to some taxpayers who are perhaps at
the present time paying on actual
values.

cific coast. they would pay twice a.
much in taxes as they now pay.
These are conclusions deduced from
the mass Of statistics presented to the
council by Mr.. Thorne bearing on the
value of the Iowa railroads as shown
by an inquiry into the market value OF
the shares of the companies which own
the roads.
Iowa Taxation Lowest.
Mr.. Thorne showed that, for in
stance, the railroads pay in Iowa, in
taxes, less per mile than in any state
of the north save and except one. The
railroads pay more in Nebraska, Kan
sas, Colorado, Minnesota and other
states than they do in Iowa. They get
off easier In Iowa than in North Da-
kota. If they paid as much per mile
as they pay in New Jersey they would
be paying $20,0o0,000 more annually in
taxes.
Mr. Thorne calculated this presenta-
ton of the subject and gave details as
TO the source of information. Practical
" all the information as to taxes and
similar matters came from the chief
statistician of the interstate commerce
commission and is given in advance of
l.
market values of the railroads. on the
stock exchanges, is from accepted au-
thorities.
The true way to find out What an
thing is WORTH said Mr.. Thorne, sis
/ TO find out just what il sells for or has
sold for in the market. In the case
f; Of railroads that value is represented
! in the stocks and bonds. 1, would not
be fair to take the value of these evil

RIVER OVERFLOWS
 LOWER BOTTOMS
Registered Almost 20 Feet On Local Gauge Tuesday But
 Was Falling Above.

A very sudden and uneXpect- ed rise of White River manifest ed itself Sunday and Sunday night, rising ? feet more Mon day and registering 19.5 feet on the local gauge Tuesday morn- ing.
 The rise came entirely out of White River, though it has caused the ferry at the Point above Jacksonport to suspend business due to back water cut ting off the approach.
 The rise is the result of hea- " rains in North and North western Arkansas, which sec- tion experienced deluge simi- lar to that which visited the headwaters of the Arkansas and some of the Texas rivers.
 The river began falling at Batesville Monday and not much higher water is expected here. The low bottoms have lost some corn, though from what can be learned here, most of the corn in the threatened bottoms has been gathered.

Honinn for Lax Rafnrm

A sympathetic note has been struck
in real estate circles through declara-
tions Of such political leaders as Gov
ernor Brown, w. II. Burwell, Speaker
of the House, and ]. Randolph An
derson, President Of the Senate, that
something must be done to improve
the tax system of the State. There
has long been q conviction that real
estate has been saddled with an IN
fair proportion Of tax burden-that
rates should be increased and assess
ments lowered. This is particularly
true in Fulton County, where It is
claimed that any more legislation
raising tax assessments would drive
out industries and sadly cripple the
real estate business. Furthermore,
Fulton County pays. exclusive Of cor
poration and special taxes, about one
seventh Of the taxes paid into the
State Treasury, which It is held is
unfair. Real estate men want more
of their tax money spent in the coun-
ty and less paid into the Golfers of
the State, and they are seeking legis-
lation along this line.
