BIG INCREASE FOR RAILROADS

DBS MOINES, Aug. l.-.(SpecIal.)-Tax
nble valuation of. property In Iowa goes
up; tax levies go down. This Is tho de
tree of the state officials.
The Mate executive council finished Its
ork this morning and made partial an
nouncement of results. Most Important
la the fact that because of Increase of
property valuations the state tax levy
will be cut from -3A mills to 3 or possibly
iDwer. Local tax levies will also be" cor
tespondfngly reduced.
Next In Importance la announcement of
a change In the manner of certifying out
railroad values. Each system will be
treated as a whole and branch and main
line will get the same valuation per
mile. This will glvo a big Increase for
branch line and a decrease for the main
lines. After looking over the law care
fully the governor and members of the
council decided this Is the only way to
dlstnbuto railroad values.
I.niul Value Increase.
The council ordered an Increase In land
valuta which amounts for the atate to
about 33 per cent. Starting with the re
ports showing aale values of land those
were scaled 20 per cent to get at tho
actual or commercial value. Then, aa
the legislature, In tho moneys and credit
law, ,has recognized the propriety of an
80 per cent valuation thla was further
scaled to obtain equality with moneys
and credits. A few countiea were In
creased but Bllghtly, others to a great
extent; so that land values all over the
state will bo about on a par with other
values.
Town lot valuatlona were adjusted by
raises and decreases, and the net ralso Is
about 10 per cent. The council found a
very great difference In the valuation on
town property.
The council ordered an Increase In per
sonal property, chiefly live stock, tho In
crease amounting to an average of about
10 per cont.
There were slight increases ordered In
the assessments on sleeping car com
panies, equipment companies, express,
telegraph and telephone business. On tho
Iowa telephono plant there wo an In
crease of 33A per cent
Ilnllroiul Acni"n noosted.
Railroad valuations were sent skyward
more than had been done In a dozen
years before, an Increase of tlO.000,000 in
the taxable value being mode, which
v-r tio.000.000 In actual values.
The increase on some of the system
was: Northwestern, W.63S.O00; Mlaukee,

i
BERLIN, August 1. Although the Ger

today that Oermany had not yet taken
ny action tn regard to the question of
participating in the exposition at San
Francisco In 1913, the opinion la freely
expreeeed In official circles that the
German empire will not be represented
there.
It was pointed out today that the
Dritiwh government's decision not to par
ticipate settles the action of Germany, a
the only factor which might have Induced
the German government to bring pressure
to bear on unwilling business men to
exhibit waa the fear of unfavorable com
parison with Great Britain.
Bualnces men in the 'majority 'of 'cases
declare themselves tired of the expense
connected with frequent expoaitlons and
aay they see no prospect of financial
return should they exhibit at Son

M1TGHEL NAMED FOR MAYOR
Fusionists Select Collector to Lead
Anti-Tammany Fight.
CONVENTION LASTS ALL NIGHT
Nomlneee Wa Formerly President
of Hoard of Aldermen and Wni
Recently Appointed Col
lector of Port.
NEW YORK, Aug. L-John PUrroy
Mltchel, collector of the port of New
York, was nominated for the office of
mayor of New York today on a fusion
ticket. Mr. Mitchell, a democrat, 33
years old, was chosen by a committee of
republicans, progressives and Independ
ents, organized to fight Tammany hall
at the coming city election.
District Attorney Charles S. Whitman,
a republican, defeated by Mltchel for the
mayoralty nomination by a narrow mar
gin, was renominated for the office of
county prosecutor. The rest of tho city
ticket chosen by the fuslonlsts wast
Comptroller, 'William A. Pendergast;
president of tho board of alderman,
Georgo aicAneny; borough presidents
Manhattan, Marcus M. Marks; Brooklyn,
Lewis H. Pounds; Bronx, Cyrus a Mlhor;
Queens, Robert W. Hlgble; Richmond,
George Cromwell.
Since the fuslonlsts have no legal stand
ing as a party these candidates will bo
placed In nomination by petition.
Convention Lnut All Nlaht.
The agreement of the fuslonlsts to put
Mltchel forward as their candidate was
not reached until after an all-night
struggle during which the committee
tcok nine ballots, on the first of which
Mltchel led by a slight margin over Dis
trict Attorney Charles S. Whltmejj and
Borough President George McAneny of
Manhattan.
Mltchel, elected president of the board
of aldermen on the democratic ticket'
at the last election, was recently ap
pointed by President Wllaon as collector
of customs at this, port. The preference
which the president showed toward him
was used by his admirers as evidence
that the president would favor him In an
anti-Tammany fight.
WASHINGTON. Aug. L-When Mr.
Mltchel was recently appointed by Presl,
dent Wilson collector of tho port of New
York the understanding was if ho dei
sired to enter the mayoralty contest hj
could do ao without resigning until he
felt ready to do so. While the White
House made no comment on air. ailtcbel'j
selection it was apparent that officials
there were pleased.
Mr. Mltchel said that he had no In
tention of resigning as collector of the
port to run on the fusion ticket. If
elected, he said, he probably would keep
his present office unUl the end ot tho
year to enable him to carry out .changes
In methoda and organization.
