(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 20.-(Special.)-Tho
state executive council today gave consid
eration to the subject of assessment of the
lnterurban electric railways. By a new law
these companies are to be assessed as are
railroad companies, by the state executive
council. The first reports from these com
panies were received this year and the
council has to mark out new ground ln
making the assessments. There Is a seem
ing Inconsistency In the law In that It Is
provided that these Interurbans or rural
trolley lines, shsll be treated ln all respects
as city street railways within the corporate
limits of any city they may enter; yet at
the same time It Is provided that they snail
be assersod as an entirety. The attorney
sreneral today rendered a decision for the
benefit of the executive council to the ef
fect that the entire lines must be assessed
by the council. In city limits and outside,
This is opposed by the owners of the Inter
urbans, and the representatives of the
Waterloo-Cedar Falls line and of the Des
Mnlnea-Colfax line appeared before the
council to protest against this method of
assessment, claiming that In the cities they
should be assessed locally. This would be
a decided advantage to them, as they usu
ally have special favors ln the cities and
towns and are not taxable to any great ex
trnt. The council decided, however, that
the decision of the attorney general would
be followed. AH of the lnterurban lines In
Iova report large profits for the past year.
. Many Chnngrea In Counties.
It Is learned that In the examination of
the real estate assessments the state ex
ecutive council finds It will be necessary to
make changes In almost every county of
the state In order to equalize the assess
ments ln accordance with law. The effort
will be to reduce the assessments on the
whole and to make the aggregate a little
less than that reported by the assessors,
and yet to make whatever Increases may
be necessary to get the counties to a fair
state of equality. To do this It will be
necessary to have figured over again prac
tically all the real estate assessments of the
state. This will involve a vast amount of
work, but the council will make the
changes in the belief that If It Is done this
year fairly much less work will have to be
done in the future. .
Increased a Reward.
Governor Cummins today Increased the
reward offered for the arrest and convic
tion of the persons responsible for the
death of Arthur Mead at West Liberty on
May 14 last. He was murdered ln a mys
terious manner and no clue has even been
obtained to the perpetrator of the deed.
The governor at that time offered a re
ward of $300, and baa now Increased It to
$500. ., . : ' '. ' '
