TO RAISE r.. r.. ASSESSMENT

Indications are that the assess
ments of railroads in Iowa will be
increased about one-half by the ex-
ecutive council for purposes of set
ting the next tax levy.
Governor Kendall in an interview
Monday afternoon outlined a plan
he has evolved for bringing order
out of what he terms the chaotic
state of railroad assessments in the
past"
This plan calls for a mean between
the valuation rendered by the inter-
state commerce commission under
the Esch-Cummins act, and the valu-
alton of s6S.000.000 rendered to the
executive council recently by Iowa
railroads.
The result, Governor Kendall
stated, indicates necessity for in
creasing railroad assessments about
900 mile. Since there are about
10000 miles of rails in Iowa, the
total increase woulc pc about $40,-
900 900.
This is one-half the present as
sessment of about $50, 100000.
There is little prospect of an in
crease OF assessment of farm lands
or other real estate, according to
Gov. Kendall. The present rate is
s76 an acre. The governor pointed
out that while this appeared low as
compared with the high safe prices
of some acreages. the executive
council can not set taxes on inflat-
ed values.
Members of the executive council,
though, believe the state administra-
lions in the past have been lax in as
sessing railroad property. and have
taken the safe course of using old
estimates on valuation, instead Of
losing sleep in the pursuit of the
truth. Reliable information as to
these valuations is almost totally
lacking.
