RAILWAY PAVING BENEFIT.
fSioux City Journal


If the Iowa supreme courts recent
paving decision Is understood cor
rectly the railways Of this state may
be made to bear their full share OF spe-
cial assessment burdens. Under this de-
cision the roads can be taxed for BEN
efits Immediately effective. and futuN
benefits as well may be taken INTO con-
sideration in making the assessments.
The latter phase OF the matter seems
to open a wide field for discretion on
the part OF the assessing body. which
in turn is likely TO open wide field
for litigation.
The Iowa courts ruling in regard
to taxing present and prospective ben
ef,s is supported by United States
supreme court opinion in The case OF
the Louisville Railway Company vs..
Barber. AS to present benefits, the
Washington court says: That. apart
from the specific use to which the
land is devoted in good-sized city.
the railway generally will get a bene-
fit from having the streets about it
paved and that this benefit generally
will be more than the cost are propo-
sitions which a legislature is war
ranted in adopting" AS to future
benefits, the federal supreme court
went on to say: On the question of
benefits the present use is simply a
prognostic and the plea of prophes5
If an occupant could not escape by
processing his desire for solitude and
silence. the legislature may make a
similar desire fortified by similar
structures equally Ineffective. 1t may
say that ii is enough that the land
could be turned to purposes for which
the paving would increase its value
Indeed, il is apparent that the proph-
esy in the answer can not be regarded
as absolute, even while the present
use Of the land continues, for no one
can deny that changes might no;
make a station desirable at this point
in which case the advantages Of the
paved street could not be denied
If. in assessing railway property for
special paving benefits such matters
as the supreme court indicates may
be taken into considera ton, it Is OBJ
vious that good deal Of guessing may
be done by city council over the ex-
tent and value Of future benefits. II
| in Individual property owners could be re-

portion Of the benefits against rail-
way corporation. the natural human
tendency would be to do so to the ex-
| tent warranted by law. The courts
| will not allow railway to be
mulcted for an unreasonable amour,
for special benefits in any cir
substances. If the council makes an
extortionate assessment against a com
pany on the strength OF visionary ale
cations OF future benefit, the company
can go into court. and IL 1t can show
the unreasonableness OF the assess
ment. the court can be depended on to
| order it reduced. Before this is thor
oughly comprehended, however. there
may be some busy days for railway at
torneys and city attorneys.

who had a beautiful garden. Each
Sunday j; was her bouquet that adorn-
ed the pulpit. She was especially
fond of sweetpeas, and she once
brought them for several Sundays in
succession. Suddenly other flowers ap-
peared. The minister noticed the
change, and after the service asked
the old lady why she brought no
more sweetpeas.
She smiled sadly and answered.:
You don't like them. Last Sunday
you pointed right at my sweetpeas

ICedar Rapids Republican,
Our attention has repeatedly been
called to the actions OF an automobile
cop. employed in Mount Vernon. We
are told that leading into that town
there is a bit Of steep grade over
which strangers travelling along the
Lincoln highway speed up. 1t does not
take long to exceed the speed limit set
in Mount Vernon and almost any auto
mobiIist can be caught mapping. Speed
limits are often as low as ten miles an
hour and It is almost impossible TO
make a car run at so low speed

are exaggerating the, incident and as
matter Of fact the official located at
Mount Vernon may not be any worse
than other cops" employed for SINH

the Mount Vernon authorities to look
into the matter. None of us wants to
make the famous Lincoln highway

PEACE TALK HAS

Discussion.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Oct 2s.-Hopes Of
officials for early and Official discus
sion of possible terms OF peace in
Europe have been raised In the past
few days. Germany is expected from
several recen. circumstances OF diplo D
matte maneuvering in foreign cap
itaIs, to breach the subject. 1t is
known state department officials are
expecting reopening of the discussion
OF peace Carefully guarded inquiries
are expected as the first sign OF will
fngness by belligerent to launch an
other peace movement.
A circumstance that many diplo
mats regard as strongly pointing to
renewal OF peace negotiations, was
the long conference Monday at Pots
dam between the kaiser and American
Gerard. The hope and
belief was strong here today that the
haiser's business with the American
envoy was on the general subject Of
peace. ......
Utmost secrecy will mark initiation
Of peace overtures. officials here have
constantly asserted
Therefore, confirmation Of any peace
discussion between the kaiser and
Gerard is not Immediately expected
or obtainable.
Gerard is expected soon to report
to President Wilson through the state
department with a feeling-out process
among the allies, afterward likely.
