Injunction on
Iowa Rail Tax
Upheld by Court
Seven of Nine Railroad Tin
Points Three Federal
Judges Concur in
Opinion.
I)e lUnt. Oct, ?.-UpJtoWin
every contention nude lv even of
the nine CMtiflainmit railroad com
panies., a feilwal cwri bench of three
juduei lurided down orileri for tem
porary injunction auainst the Iowa
19.M railroad a"Ciiienu.
The court, in thrsc acven cases,
rot only wi.ied out the entire in.
crease in rn.lroad taxes ordered by
U.e execute council last July, hut
ordeuJ a further rcductionn of 10
per cent in the assessed valuation
that were in force lite prcviout year.
The injunction restrain county
uditor from upreadinrf railroad a
tejsnnicnti in execs of a certain val
uation per mile, dilfrrctit in the rae
of each road. Attorney lleneral Gib
son explained that the reduction In
1921 assessments ordered was ahout
16 per cent, 0 per cent of which
icprcsented the increase over 1420
imposed ty the recent executive
council adjustment.
The reduction ordered by the court
totals approximately $14,000,000 on
the assessed valuations, or more than
$55,000,000 on the actual valuations
as fixed by the executive council.
All three judges, Kimhrotigh
Stone of Missouri, T. C. M linger of
Nebraska and M. J. Wade of Iowa,
concurred in the order. The court
held that "intentional, deliberate as
sessment of different classes of prop
erty at different percentages of ac
tual value, result in an equality of
treatment," which Iowa laws prohi
bit. The roads' contention that land
value assessments, compared to rail
road assessments, are too low is en
tirely upheld.
The case probably will be heard on
its merits at the December term
of court.
The Wabash railroad and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
way did not obtain the injunction.

2 in Manhattan Borough to 42 in
Richmond,
' The census of homes showed 54.4
per cent of the residences in the
United States are rented, 28.2 are
owned free of any incumbrance, and
17.5 are owned but mortgaged. The
national percentage of renters in
creased two-tenths of 1 per cent

For the purpose of the census a
"home" was talten to mean the abid
ing place of a single family."

HOST CLOTHES
WORN NOW ARE
RECONSTRUCTED
Ever hear of "reconstructed"
clothes? No? Well, perhaps not,
but the fact is you see "recon
structed" clothes worn every day,
but don't know they've been "re
constructed." Dresher Brothers, Cleaners and
Dyers at 2211-2217 Farnam street,
are pioneers and chief exponents of
"reconstructing" clothes. Dreshers
take your old garments apart, clean
them, recut the pieces to conform
with present styles, sew the clothes
together again, apply new collars,
cuffs and linings, press the clothes
nicely and presto! you've a new
garment at a fraction of the cost of
clothes bought out of the shops.
You'll need more or less "recon
structing" on the garments you are
going ta wear this winter and you
would serve yourself best by having
Dreshers do the work. Better
phone Atlantic 034S for a Dresher
man, or phone Market 0050 if you
live in South Omaha, or leave work
at Dresher The . Tailors, 1515 Far
nam St, or at one of the Dresher
branches in Burgess-Xash or Bran
tieis stores.
