DBS MOINES, March 15. (Spcclnl.) Tho
prospect for au Increase In tho assessment
ot the railroads of Iown appears to bo good,
This morning tho state executlvo council,
consisting ot the governor, auditor, secre
tary and treasurer of state, met ns an as
sessment bourd, and according to appoint
ment llotcned to the statements of various
representatives of tho railroad companies.
As toon as tho council met Secretary of
Stato Martin presented tho following reso
lution, which wns read, nnd ho moved Its
adoption, but asked that tlmo bo given tho
railroad companies for full expression of
their views thereon: '
Whereas, Tho gross earnings of the rail
roads of the stato of Inwn as reported for
tho your m wero $ffl,22,290i for the venr
1M7, $ll,3.'J5,0!i;i; for the yenr 189S. $18,202,903;
for tho yenr 1S91, $0,519,671"; and
Where'is, Tho assessed valuation of tho
railroad property of tho slate, based upon
tho reports for said years, has been ns fol
lows, to-wlt; For the year 1897, $44,373,916;
for thn year IMS, Sll,l.',782; for tho vear
1M9, $11,550,129. nnd for the yenr 1900, $4S."U0S,.
610; and
Whereas. Tho Increase In tho assessed
valuation mndo In tho year Moo whs sub
stantially for Increased mileage; nnd
Whereas, Tho Aross earnings of said rail
roads, iih reported by tltum for tho year
1900. arc $j2,;io,S00. and applying tho same
perccntngo applied In tho year 1900, would
result In un nssensed vnltintlon for the pres
ent year of $IS,i;V.7S2; nnd
Whereas, It Is believed that the assessed
valuation of other taxable property In tho
stato will bo Increased oh compared with
former years; It Is therefore
Hesolvcd, That It Is the sense of tho ex
ecutlvo council of tho state of lowit that
the nggregale assessed valuation of the
railroads of tho stato should bo substan
tially Increased.
Itnllrnml Mini Hurt.
The stato executive council has nrrangod
a program tor hearings on tho part of rep
tesentatlvcfl of the various railroad com
panies Interested In tho assessment. In
accordance with this n number of railroad'
attorneys appeared beforo tho council to
day. Tho most prominent of tho repre
sentatives was W, W. Baldwin of Burling
ton, who represents tho Chicago, Burling
ton & Qulncy company. Mr. Baldwin
created eomothlng ot a sensation In tho
council by dcclnrlng boldly that there
would bo little need of representatives of
tho railroads to comu hero annually and
discuss tho question ot assessments, but
for politics. If thero wero n fow demo
crnts elected to membership on tho coun
cil, ho said, so as to divide responsibility
with tho republicans, criticism would censo.
Ho recalled that Bomo years ago, wheu
Iowa hnd a democratic governor, an or
gnntzed effort wns mado to secure higher
assessments for tho railroads. The
grnngera hired General Weaver to come be
foro tho board with facts nnd figures, nnd
others also appeared, nnd after thoy hnd
discussed It beforo tho council tho presi
dent of tho farratrs' alllanco declared pri
vately to the' governor thnt they had
learned n good "deal and that they wcru
willing to leave tho matter of assessments
to tho council. Uo contended that the.
present system of'.arrlvlng nt tho assess
ablo vnluo of the railroads Is tho only
proper one. Other methods hnvo been tried
nnd have been abandoned. He said that
railroad property In Iowa Is assessed at
a higher per cent than farm property or
other property.
Others who spoko for tho railroads or
appeared to present statements wero: A.
C. Goodrich, for tho Keokuk & Western;'
Georgo X. Mills, for the Kansas City, St.
Joseph & Council Bluffs; A. E. Patten, for
the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy; W. L,
Tnrbcrt, for tho Illinois Central; W. S.
MUllgnn, for tho Chicago, Milwaukee A
St. Paul; Georgo W. Seovcrs. for tho Iowa
Central; Mr. Law, for tho Burlington &
Northwestern; Frank P. Crnndon, for tho
Chicago & Northwestern; J. A. McManu3,
for tho Wabash, and W. J. Jeffrey, for the
Omaha & St.. Louis, Mr. Law, who repre
sents a narrow' gaugo road which, ho
claimed, has had no net earnings for sev
eral years, was In favor of making tho
n&scssmcnt on not earnings. Mr. Good
llch said n computation hnd been mado to
show the comparative amount of taxes paid
hy farmers in ono county along tho lino
with tho taxes paid by tho railroad com
pnny. They had found thnt farmers pay
about 1 per cent on gross earnings nnd
the railroad raoro than 3V4 per cent on
gross onrnlngs.
No action was taken on tho resolution
presented, but It will bo considered by
other railroad representatives from day to
day until a decision Is reached.
