A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious Illness makes a chemical anal
ysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
readily be brought back to health and
strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form Of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1912. In the state of New
York alone. Therefore it behooves US
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy Is Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation, in most cases, is soon
realized. according to sworn state
ments and verified testimony of those
who have used the remedy.

lands? The legislature has reduced
this property from actual value to 20
per cent thereof for taxable value. II
we had reached approximately, actual
value Of lands and thus removed the
cause for the enactment Of the Thirty
fourth general assem- bly,, an enactment
which we could not change, OF course,
was there any other possible way for
US to do then to deduct 20 per cent
from our approximate actual value
which the legislature by this enact
ment had recognized would bring
equality. Because OF the provisions Of
the law as to taxation and equaliza-
ton all taken together we did this
making the taxable value. Of course,
one-fourth Of the result. That Is. from
the concensus of opinion gathered from
the counties as I have explained, we
took 20 per cent for the reasons stated
and then for the reasons also stated
we took away another 20 per cent.
Then the question arose as to the
economic or income producing Talne
of the lands. 1t is quite clear that on
an investment Of sl25 to 1925 per acre
as farming is now done only very
small percentage Of income over and
above all expenses and depreciation OF
value of implements and other neces-
sary personal property can be realized.
Our examination Of statistics and
studies of this question confirmed this
conclusion.
Capitol Extension Insignificant.
We had reached the conviction in the
assessment Of railway companies that
they ought to be put upon basis OF
a seven per cent of income on value.
To equalize, we felt that lands ought
to be assessed at aJ-Vaiuation that
would allow an equatatncome on, I'M
vestment. We found Upon study OF
the question in the light Of such help
as We could get that the values ascer-
tanned by the methods have explained
had, as nearly as possible, reached that
result But few changes were required
to bring the counties to an equality Of
values. in our judgment, taking into
consideration all these things and the

nature and quality vf the lands In the
different sections Of the state. In
Pottawattamie county the average ac-
tual value pei acre reached was $67.s4'
taxable value Of only $685.. The
average actual value for the whole
state is only $64.S7 per acre, taxable
value, 1922 or taxable value per quar-
ter section only $2.5s5.20 or $3.50 per
annum for two years for capitol ex-
tension. The executive council does
not claim perfection in what 10 has
done. 1t Is only possible to approx
mate right results in matters OF taxa
ton. But 1t does claim that no more
careful, painstaking. conscientious
effort was ever made or could be made
TO reach fair, equitable and right re-
suits. What man is there in Iowa who
can say that what was done was not
in perfect accord with the duties OF
the executive council? Where is the
man who will say that they In any way
violated the law? Can a man be found
who will say that they were not bound
by oath Of office, the law and the decree
Of court to do what they did? Is there
a man,.is there farmer in Iowa VINO
viii say. considering the fact that the
council can not touch individual as
sessments, and the further fact that
the law provides that property must be
assessed at actual value, that his prop
erty is valued beyond its actual value!
Are not values clearly within actual
values and clearly within the law?
Where then, is there room to lodge
complaint against the council unless
you want abandonment Of duty and
violation of law? Again say, II you
do, proclaim it and announce to every
man that in Iowa the one condition
upon which he can sit at the executive
council table is that he viii violate his
oath OF Office and the law with ref
erence to matters Of taxation
In the equalization OF values some
counties were decreased from returns
made to the council.
