sessed valuation. On this assessment
the taxes, state, county, town and
municipal, are levied as in this state
in the case of other property. The
method of North Dakota is similar to
that of Iowa.
A COMPARISON OF RESULTS.
These systems have been long enough
in operation to enable their working
to be observed over a range of years
sufficient to demonstrate their merit
as revenue producers. To enable the
reader to make these comparisons for
himself instead of asking him to ac-
cept the conclusions of another, it is
necessary to give no inconsiderable
quantity of very dry but very instruc-
tive figures. First in order, to lay
foundation for comparison with our
own method, will be the mileage and
assessed value of the railways of the
two ad valorem states of Iowa and
North Dakota, selecting the lines op-
Grating in both states and necessarily
omitting the large number of other
lines that gridiron our southern neigh
Dor, but giving their totals.

Another factor needed to make the
comparisons is the average rate OF
taxation in each of these states for
all purposes. The rate in 1890, as
given in the federal abstract, was
as follows: Wisconsin, 229; Iowa,
2.92; Minnesota, ZIG, and North Da-
kota, 2.75 per cent. In Iowa this had
risen in 1894 to 324 and in Minnesota
to 2.2S The rate in the other states
for that year is not accessible and the
computations hereafter made will be
on the rates of 1890 except when other
wise stated. In passing it is worth
calling the attention Of our state
auditors office to the error in the
table Statement K,'' which gives the
average rate of taxation as .00228. We
are now where space must be again
occupied with figures giving COMPARE
sons of mileage, gross earnings, taxes
realized and other data. In order to
give a sufficient scope for compari-
son the results Of the different meth
DDS will be given in the years 1890
to 1894 inclusive, omitting North Da-
kota, whose former mixed system
makes the results there useless for
comparative purposes. The following
is the mileage in the several states
in each of these years, together with
Iowa's assessed valuation per mile.

TAXATION PER MILE.

1t is detail of some interest to
know how the taxes compare with the
mileage, and the following table ex-
hibits this. The higher rate of Wiscon-
sin shows plainly here in the greater
amount per mile, while, bearing in
mind the difference in the mileage, the
amount derived by Minnesota COM
pares favorably with that of Iowa.

On these there was levied and col
lected, under the two diverse systems,
the taxes shown in the following ta-

Wisconsin has the higher rate per
cent of taxation on the gross earn

than in Minnesota with it's 3 per cent
rate. Iowa, on the other hand, with
43 per cent more mileage than Min

The reports had a weakening effect on sterling exchange and actual rates were re- duced about 1-3201-16 per cent. Govern ment bonds were also lower at the board. In addition the withdrawals of gold from the sub. treasury were smaller than for some days past.

is universally admstted This is the
best time of year in which to purify
the blood, to restore the lost appetite
and to build up the entire system, as
the body is now peculiarly susceptible
te benefit from medicine The great
popularity attained by Hoods Sarsapa-

markable success, has established 1t as
the very best medicine to take in the
spring. 1t cures scrofula, salt rheum
and all humors, biliousness, dyspepsia,
headache, kidney and liver complalts
catarrh and all affections caused or
promoted by low state of the system
or impure blood. Don't put it of, but
take Hoods Sarsaparllla now. 1t will
do you good.

Death Of Mr.. L. L. Kitchin.

The remains of Mr. L. L. HI tchin,
whose death occurred at Portsmouth.
Va, Wednesday morning of last week,
bret notice of which we gave in our
last Issue, were brought to Scotland
Neck for interment, Thursday, March
7th, and at o'clock the body was laid
to rest in the Baptist cemetery, Rev.
R. 7. Vann conducting the services
Mr.. Kitchin was member of the Ma
sonic order, and the burial service was
concluded with the ceremonies of that
order.
Deceased was about 62 years old, was
born and reared in this community,
and was known to a large circle of
friends and acquaintance. He was a
man of great energy, and could turn
his hand to almost anything that pre-
sented itself.
About two years ago he moved his
family to Portsmouth, Va, where they
have resided ever since. Occasionally
Mr.. Kitchin was in this community,
and just few weeks previous to his
death he spent some time here In some
special timber interest and 1t was
thought that he contracted cold while
here looking after his timber that ter
minated in his death Soon after re-
turning to Portsmouth he was taken
sick. His sickness soon developed into
pneumonia, which the best medical
skill could not check.
Mr.. Kitchin leaves large family, a
wife, five sons, we believe, and three
daughters, to mourn his loss. He was
brother to Hon. w. H. Kitchln, of this
place, and had many friends who felt
strong attachments for him because of
his kindness of heart and faithfulness
to his friends.
The remains were accompanied by
his wife, daughter, Mrs. Elliott of
Petersburg, Mrs Kitchin's sister, Mr..
S. 3. Kitchin, her son-ln-law, and Mr..
J. c. Pittman, brother-ln-law of the
deceased
