ATTORNEY FOR IOWA MUNICIPAL
tiles MAKES MOVE IN ASSESS.
MENr SUIT.
TELLS WHY FORM LANDS

Executive Council Of State Contends
at Compliance With Letter Of

Value is Impossible = Equalization
Caused Reduction.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. I'LL. H. Stipp'
attorney for the Iowa League OF Mu-
inequalities, has prepared and filed to-
day the reply of the league in the suit
against the state executive council as
to farm land assessments in Iowa. The
return of the council was made some
time ago and the reply now made
merely joins issues. as expected by
both sides, as to whether or not there
has been or could have been any full
compliance with the strict letter Of the
law as TO making assessments at actual
market value.
The object of the league is to compel
a raise in farm assessments as COM
pared with assessment of city property.
1t will be recalled that the district court
here ordered that assessments of all
property be made at full market value.
The executive council tried to do so,
or sought to do so within the limit of
its information and so far as it could
be done consistent with the higher law
which compeIs equality Of valuation
for taxing purposes. The return of the
stdNc OH It's WORN liic last cshA
showed that in order to establish
equality there had to be some scaling
down of farm land values from actual
Valuation to correspond with the law
as to monies and credits and to cores
pond with facts as to valuation Of per-
sonal and other property.
To EnIishten Court.
Now the league raises before the
court the question as to whether this
was fair and just and in accord with
law. In due time attorneys for both
sides Will go before the court and
thresh the matter out and enlighten the
court fully as to what was done and
why.
1t is recalled that following the order
Of the court the legislature recognized
the fact that the executive council has
not the authority or power to proceed
properly to secure full value assess
ment of property. by passing an act
which went into effect in July last, Civ
ing the council the authority to go into
each and every taxing district and to
require assessments in accordance with
the law. But this was not the case
when the work of laying the foundation
for last years assessments was begun.
The upshot of the matter very likely
Will be an order of court applying to
future assessments. which because OF
the new law, can be made in strict ac-
cord with the law. because the council
now has full authority over the local
assessors and the power to make in
Vesugation as to actual values. The
enormous increase OF assessed values
was made this year because of the law
and the court orders; IL remains to be
seen whether the court will insist on
going still further

Haste
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of "At Good Old Siwash.s

H ASTE is the use of excessive speed
in getting from hither to whence.
This may mean mere distance or
1t may mean other things. The uses
of haste are as varied as the uses Oh
gasoline which Is an extract of haste
Haste Is as free as air and Is used
bv everybody. THOUGH more extensively
by some than by others.
Haste users are divided into two
great classes-thOse who use haste to
get ahead and those who use it to
catch up.
man may use a great deal of haste
at the wrong time and land a mile be-
hind the procession with his ewes f1fl
of dust after working hard all dav.
On the other hand, a pinch of haste,
carefully distributed. viii enable a man
to loaf successfully t the head of the
crowd for months and years at a time.
Haste Is a comparative term. Nine
ty miles an hour is loafing tor a rae
ing automobile, whereas two miles an
hour Is runaway speed for a mes
senger boy.
We are 4 wasteful nation and use
much more haste than we should. Too
many men hurry themselves to death
in their efforts to get rich quick
enough to loaf after the age of 40.
