How Assessments of keokuk and Low.
err Five Townships Loom Up
Large Beside Those of
Fort Madison.
FIGURES TELL THE TALE
City Of keokuk Pays About One-third
of Lee County Tax, Notwith-
standing Fort Madison's
Rich Men.

During a Liberty loan campaign,
when requests to buy bonds were
based on assessors returns, three or
four bankers in group one evening
agreed that three Fort Madison men
actually own as much property as is
assessed to that entire city.
A man who is in position to know
asserts that one man in Fort Madi-
son has as much in moneys and
credits as is found in that entire city
by the Fort Madison assessor
Tax lodging is the great American
sport, Of course, but some compari-
sons between Fort Madison and elev-
en- townships in the upper district OF
Lee county and Keokuk and the five
townships in the lower district in
the county make it appear that Keo-
kuk is getting rather too much of a
raw deal by the work of the asses.
sors elected by Fort Madison and
some upper townships.
Money All in South Corner.
The moneys and credits in Keokuk
and five townships total $1,351,6 88,
which is nearly as much as in Fort
Madison and eleven townships in the
upper district, where the total is
$1,558,331.
Real estate in the upper eleven
townships of rich land is assessed at
$4,S34,420, and in the lower five
townships at $3,973,240, the figures
in the one case including Fort Madi,
son and in the other the city OF
Keokuk.
The personal property in Keokuk
and five townships is assessed at
se55,O1O, against only s7s6.505 in
Fort Madison and eleven townships.
The total assessed valuation Of all
property in Fort Madison and eleven
townships is s5,620,925, and in Keo-
kuk and only five townships it is
$4,92s,250.
The Poor All Up North.
This is exclusive of the railroads,
express companies, telegraph and
telephone companies, power electric
lines, which bring the grand totals
up to $6,592,257 in Fort Madison and
the eleven upper townships and
$5,729,646 in Keokuk and the five
lower townships.
The city OF Keokuk alone is as
sessed at two-thirds as much as the
entire upper district Of Fort Madison
and eleven townships, as regards
moneys and credits.
Keokuk alone has real estate worth
over half as much as all of Fort
Madison and eleven townships of
farming land in the northern part Of
Lee county, according to the assess
ment.
keokuk Tells the Truth.
The personal property Gin the city
Of Keokuk alone is worth almost as
much as all that in Fort Madison and
the eleven townships up north, ac-
cording to the assessors books.
Keokuk's total assessment is about
one-third that of the entire county
of Lee, exclusive of railroads and
other operating public utilities.
ut has always been that way"
said an experienced county official,
referring to the fact that Keokuk is
paying for the operation of Lee coun-
ty entirely out of proportion to Fort
Madison and the upper district OF the
county.
