Civilization brings blessings and al

The more highly organized we be-

A lady of high nervous tension

PROPERTY VALUES
IN The STATE

Board Acting as the
Equalization
Board.
SHOWING AN INCREASE
Great care Taken il Fixing the
values on the Farming
Lands In Tho
State.
SHOWING AN INCREASE

Property values in the state Of
iowa were increased over 80 per cent
By the state executive council acting
as the board of equalization In It's re-
port issued the latter part Of last
week. The state levy this year will
be 80 mills instead Of 3.4 mills for
last year. The total valuation In the
report Is $3.50, 296,731. The taxable
value OF 25 per centum of that amount
this year will be $92o,O74,18275. This
amount is over 80 per centum greater
than the taxable value in 1912, which
was sG9s, 100000 in round numbers
Farm lands were increased approx.
mately fifteen percent. The actual
value placed upon farm lands for 1915
Is s2,274, COG, 5S9 This is exclusive OF
the lands in Marshall county. which
was estimated by the council, to pr
approximately $25,OoO,OoO. The exact
figures were not received by the coun-
Gil In time to include them In the re.
port.
Railroad property IN the state
around which was conferred the great.
est contest, was increased over twelve
million dollars In actual value. The
value placed upon the railroads for
1918 is $7s,1T5,s66 as compared with
$65,951 446 in 1912.
In neary every particular the execn
tive council has carried out it's inten
items of fixing actual values in the
state. The amount to be raised this
year in taxes is $2.S0O,0O0. While val
,les were increased in every instance
the state levy was reduced sufficiently
to cover that amount.
A Des Moines paper commenting on
the strenuous work performed by the
equalization board said:
Governor Clarke and the members
of the executive council heaved q
sigh of relief when the work was com
pleted at late hour Friday night. Il
is declared to be the most careful ant
scientific work in equalization ever at
tempted by the board. In arriving al
market values OF the railroads this
gross earnings for the last five years
were used. Sixty-eight per cent was
allowed for operating expenses. II
addition to this allowance the council
deducted the taxes in that period O

Great care was taken IN re fixing
