From the fact that the Iowa State Board of Assessment Increased the valuation of the Northwestern railroad $1,000,000, State Treasurer Morteneen feels that his position that the road should be raised In this state l.as been sustained. At the last session of the Nebraska board Mr. Mortensen tried , f In vain, to get the Northwestern raised. In his endeavor he had the co- 1 operation of Governor Mickey, but the other three members of the board held the earnings of the road would not Justify an Increase. "I told Mr. McOlnnlss," said Mr. Morten ten, "the'only regret I had at leaving the treasurer's office Is that I was unable to get the Northwestern road assessed at Its proper value. It Is valued now away be low what It Is worth and I hope the next board will see Its way clear to Increase Its assessment. The Northwestern road Is pretty clever and has managed to get along with little trouble over Its assessment. think thero should have been an Increase of at least $M0 a mile this year to make Us assessment In proportion to the other roads of the state. There should be inference, I think, of about $5,000 between the actual value of the Northwestern and the Burlington, whereas there Is a dlffer- mce of about $S,00O. "I sec the Iowa board has Increased the assessment of this road about $1,000,000. This Increase Is due, no doubt. In a large measure to the business done by the road In Vehmakn anil we ahoiiM be retting the Teneflt of that as well as Iowa. Of course, the Northwestern got some sympathy from the people generally because It paid Us taxes, but It had a reason for paying up. The Northwestern Is getting off mighty tasy." Insurance Recommendations. The committee of fifteen appointed at the meetfcoaMe the fnourance commissioners to draw up laws to be submitted to an ather meeting of the commissioners, to be held In October, will meet In Minneapolis, August 22, and that evening Insurance Deputy Pierce will leave for the Minnesota town. Mr. Pierce Is a member of the committee, but at this time he la not ready lo give out any recommendations he may mike except he Is In favor of doing away with the deferred dividends and he believes tn annual accounting should be held with the policyholders. This accounting, said Mr. Pierce, is absolutely necessary In or der that the policyholders may know wha the officers of the companies are doing. Mr Pierce will also recommend publicity as one of the greatest factors In preventing abuses by the officials of the companies. To the Nebraska legislature both Auditor Bearle and Mr. Pierce will recommend the separation of the office of the auditor and the Insurance department, as both believe .the Insurance department should be main- THREEFAOTS For Sick Women To Consider Fibst.
