Federal Judge Wade Will Not
Send Water Power Taxation
Case Back to State
Courts.
OPINION FILED TODAY
Court Finds That Legislature
Granted Certain Powers to
the Courts in This
Matter.

Judge Martin j. WaQe Oh Inc OuAI-
ed States district court, has overruled
the motion filed by the state OF Iowa
to remand to the state court the mai
ter of the appeal from the assessment
Of the property OF the Mississippi
River Power company. The opinion
as filed by Judge Wade yesterday was
received in Keokuk today by Frank
Wahlgren, deputy clerk of the Unit
ed States district court. 1t is vic
tory for the power company in the
first step in the attempt of the state
to collect the assessment of $16,OOO,-
900 made by Assessor 8. H. Johnston,
and which was later reduced to S5OO.-
eao BIZ the city council sitting as 8
board of review. 1t Is on appeal
from this reduction that the hearings
were started.
In his opinion the court reviews
the case briefly. saying that 8. II.
Johnston claiming to be the assessor
of a certain taxing district within
the city of Keokuk, Iowa, listed ana
assessed the property OF the Missls-
sippi River Power company at u.s.
900 900 and claiming to act pursuant
to the law Of the state of Iowa he as
sessed penalty of 100 per cent FOR
the alleged refusal of the company to
swear to the assessment roll. Inc
board of review on objections filed
held a hearing and reduced the as
sessment to 100000 from which
Johnston is appealing. The appeal
was taken to the district court and
the power company, a nonresident
concern, asked that 1t be transferred
to the federal court, which was grant
ed and which case is now before
the federal court on the motion to
remand.
Property lAssessed. ~
"The property assessed" the opin
ion reads, Consists Of the dam and
power plant owned by the power
company upon the Mississippi river
at Keokuk, and in petition for re,
moyal it is made to appear tnat
MANY important questions of law and
fact are involved including the ques'
ton of the boundary line OF the
state, and the question whether the
property is real property or personal
property. or subject to assessment
at all, complicated by the rurtner
fart that a portion of the dam COM
nrises the lock and dry dock which

erection VI tlS Vail, 40 SAA~
Of the United States. But l do not
find it necessary to go into these
numerous questions. The fact OF the
diversity of citizenship is not In dis
pute and the motion will be dis.
posed OF upon that ground
The main question in the contro'
versy is whether this action Is a
suit within the meaning Of the re-
| r,oyaI act the court declares. The
statutes Of Iowa provide for the as
sessment of property for taxation by
the assessor who lists the property
and reports to the board of review.
This board, the court holds has the
power to increase or decrease the
assessments, and appeals may be
taken to the district court, as in this
case.
