/ tells a greater story perhaps than the
per cent. Of assessed valuation to real
value, as indicated in the column next
to 1t from such holders Of lots is less
than $3.50 pay 81 Of their selling value
for taxes alone. II their total value in
cash was loaned at say an average rate
of 6 per cent. interest would it be taxed
to that amount?
In the assessment investigation Of the
manufactures and industrial concerns Of
the State data was obtained showing the
capital invested in 800 different plants
the total of capital invested being $685.
1882. The total assessed valuation Of
these various plants is $2,3S2,327 or an
average of 101 per cent. as compared
with the amount of capital invested.
A study of this data shows the discrim-
ination between various classes of prop
erty and reveals the further fact that
property of this nature is not assessed
at the same ratio Of either lands or lots
or farm or city property.
The Labor Commissioners report will
also show the agreed basis Of assess
ment and valuation Of nearly all the
counties Of the State as determined upon
at the assessors meetings held in the
various counties in March, 1898. Aside
from this the report will contain a copy
Of the assessors meetings Of that date
for nearly all counties of the State,
showing what they agreed to do in the
assessment Of all the property in their
respective counties. This will show to
what extent the various boards Of as
SCISSORS in the State in solemn conclave
agreed to violate the law. It will show
further that but two counties, Rawlins
and Decatur, agreed to assess this prop
erty as the law prescribes and that in
many Of the western counties the real
estate is assessed at from five to eight
times more proportionately than the
real estate in some eastern counties.

Effects of Anger.
Medical Record.

Medical Record.
An English journal thus comments on
the injurious effects of anger: Anger
serves the unhappy mortal who INDUCES
in it much the same as intoxicants con-
stantIy taken do the inebFiate. Il grows
into sort Of disease which has various
and terrible results. Sir Richard Quain
said, not long ago: "He is a man very
rich indeed in physical power who can
afford to be angry" This is true. Every
time man becomes white" or red with
anger, he is in danger of his life. The
heart and brain are the organs mostly
affected when fits Of passion are in
dulged in. Not only does anger cause
partial paralysis of the small blood-ves-
sells, but the hearts action becomes in
termittent; that is, every now and then
it drops a beat-much the same thing
as is experienced by excessive smokers.
