WOULD REFORM ASSESSMENTS
Mayor Swift, of Chicago, to Begin a Cam
paIEn to Secure an Honest Tax.

Mayor Swift, of Chicago, to Begin . Cam
paign to Secure an Honest Tax.
Mayor Swift of Chicago has started
out to convince the public of the
necessity of fair assessment and an
honest tax as the only means of
strengthening out the financial difficulty
in which the city finds itself. Iester-
day he secured the cooperation of Al
derman Madden, and now he says he
Is going to talk taxes and scatter tax
dodgers everywhere until he gets the
people in the proper state of mind to
force the assessors to make an honest
and proper assessment for the city's
needs.
The mayors plan is the passage of an
ordinance by the city council which will
make a radical change in. the present
system If the assessors accept 1t. He
proposes an assessment commission con-
sisting Of three or five reputable busi-
ness men who are recognized as authori-
ties on real-estate values. This conf
mission is to spend the entire winter
making a fair assessment at face value
Of the real estate Of Chicago. Then the
various town assessors will be asked to
make their assessments from the returns
made by this commission, and not on
those on the lists sent in by the ward
hustlers, who, the mayor says, really
make the assessments.
"The people who are dodging taxes
had better accept my plan, or they will
have harder nut to crack" said tho
mayor yesterday in discussing his new
departure. ''The poor people, who are
now paying more than their share Of
taxes are becoming tired of the way the
assessors are treating the rich. One of
these days there will be an outburst of
public opinion, and the people will elect
an assessor who will place the valua-
tons so high that the rich will wish they
had borne their honest share of the
taxes. Look at Chicago to-day, with an
assessed valuation Of $243, 100000. Why,
l have talked to no less than fifteen
well-posted real-cstate men, and they
say a conservative estimate would
place its value at $2,OOO,OOO,OOO.
"If all the properties were assessed at
their face values and the tax levy was a
certain percentage of the property 8
true value we would have no dishon-
esty, plenty of money for municipal pur-
poses and no tax-dodgers. And the
taxes of the honest man would be lower.
New York is assessed at $2,O17, 100000.
Chicago is assessed at a less figure this
year than last, Notwithstanding that we
have expended more than $35,OOO, 900
in improvements to realty during the
last year. This is the only way to get
out Of the financial difficulty, and I
am starting out on long campaign to
educate the people up to it. If all prop
erty was assessed at its true value a
tax of seven-eighths per cent would be
all that would be necessary for munich
pal purposes and we would have plenty
of money"

BOOKS READ BY NEW WOMAN
Consensus of Reports Shows . Change
In Taste.

Consensus Of Reports Shows . Change
in Taste.
Does the new woman" read a differ.
ent class of books from her predecessor,
the oldfashioned woman?
This is the query gave some librari-
ans to answer, and learned in return
that the new woman does. II don't
mean to say" one replied, that every
woman who comes in to get book
eschews the romantic and new, but the
surprising fact is that so many actually
ask for the deepest works on political
subjects. My assistant and myself
were at first amused, now we regard it
as significant movement.
The change began, gathered from a
consensus of reports, about three years
ago; since then it has rapidly broadened
and deepened. All works on sociology
and political science are called for as
eagerly by one sex as the other. The
favorites seem to be Prof. Ely's series
on political science. All governmental
questions are carefully studied, and
anything that relates to the tariff is
popular.
ITO my mind" said an aged keeper
of books, ''the American woman, as she
is represented in New York by her
reading, is developing in a political way
marvelously; not that it will have any
effect in helping them to obtain suf-
frage, but such powers will make them
powers behind the throne"
Take the French woman of De Stael's
era and the English woman of to-day
they are amazingly learned in local
political meanings. l do not consider
that this reading is an evidence of the
new woman" but rather that the
Americans do not wish to be benin
women of other countries in their abili-
ty to compete Intellectually with men
on national subjects.
YES" said another librarian, there
is no denying that women are calling
for heavy political works more every
day, but" he thoughtfully added, at
has long been a question with me as to
their reading them; I think, possibly,
the husbands had sent for them.
