Des Moires. July 6.-The taxable
value OF Iowa property as shown by
the 1918 assessments in the state audi
tors office Is $1,000, 100000.
! This is an Increase of $250,000. 900

When is considered that the taxable
value of the state is only fourth OF
the actual value, the state auditors fig-
ures show that the property in Iowa is
$4,000. 100000. which is a right neat
little sum when YOU stop to think OF it.
The aggregate assessments OF the
state for the year 1913 dfsclose several
interesting thirgs. For instance. the
amount Of moneys and credits this year
was $417. 55a.5u6 as against $32s.s54.6lo
in 1917. gain of 81 .5sI.s91. Consider
in the millions invested In the state. in
liberty loans during the past year, this
is reasonable creditabie showing.
The lands and town lots Of the state
in 1918 were assessed for s765,915,s27
as against S761, 1858 in 1917
The<greatest gain was made in per-
sonal property. In 1917 the amount Of
personal property in the state was ass
sessed at 127.5O6,s6r. IN 1918 twas
232.1s4.669, gain OF $10l,677,SoS.

ACCUSES DAIRY OFFICIALS.
CHARGES OF Unfair Treatment Made
Against Amos by Cheese Manufacturer.

Charges OF Unfair Treatment Made
Against Amos by Cheese, Manufacturer
Waterloo. July 6.-Back of the clos
ing Of the GAINESVILLE cheese factory, es-
tablished by the Fowler company,
wholesale grocers,y more than forty
years ago, are charges made by George
d. Fowler that the Iowa Dairy Market
ing Association Is trying to impose on
citizens Of the state an increase In
price of milk based on the abnormal
condition which exists at Camp Dodge,
but which exists nowhere else in Iowa
and, therefore.is not justifiable.
Mr.. Fowler, who has had special
charge of the cheese factory, charges
that 1t appears to him as tho the Ames
dairy experts and county agents are
lending their influence to the Iowa
Marketing Association the, local branch
of which has refused to sell milk to
distributors in Waterloo without pay
ing an advance In price. He claims the
object Of the organization is to force
all milk producers into the fold and to
raise the price beyond the point justi
fed by local supply and demand.
In an interview today, Mr.. Fowler
recommended that the commercial bod
les take up the matter of securing the
location Of a milk condensery In Watt
erloo as a stabilizing element in the
dairy business.
Now as t. the cause Of the shut
down of our factory" explained Mr..
Fowler "In February when feed was
high, the dairy farm was depressed and
cheese was a drug, a promoter in the
interest Of the Iowa Dairy Marketing
Association came to Bremen county.
consider the agent came to market his
time and, strange to say, the associa-
tion seemed also to be backed by the
Ames dairy department and county
agents. 1t appeared to me they were
not the friends of the dairy farmer.
This same force is now working here.
If these men were the true friends of
the dairy farmer, would they not go to
sections of the state and endeavor to
help those who are now separating
their milk on the farms and selling
their butterfat at Al cents, delivered to
the railroads which, / understand, is
the prevailing price and which must
be damaging to any dairy interests as
compared with the condensing and
cheese making in Wisconsin,"
tory has been operated at IL loss for
eleven years.. but that it was consid-
cred until now as matter of pride and
as a part of the wholesale grocery
business
