Senate bills Nos. IA and as, now befor
the State Senate, are widely discussed be
cause they affect many people and man.
tax districts. These bills eminate from thu
State Board &: taxation, and are designed
to bring a class Of property which now es
capes taxation, unerringly before the as
SCISSORS.
AT present bank stock Is assessed under
the law of 1869, which provides for its
assessment by local assessors where it is
found, and the experience is that about one
third of this class of property is never
found
The State Board of Assessor asks for the
enactment of only one of the proposed
bills, because either will accomplish the
end sought.
The first provides that bank officers
shall furnish the State Board of Assessors
with complete list of stockholders and
their post Office address, then the State
Board will transmit to each local Assessor
tuC udtnco anu dAuVuulS thht HC ouhll ASSESS
in his district. The second bill provides
that the bank officials shall furnish list
of all stockholders to the Assessor where
the bank is located, who shall assess same,
and the tax shall be paid in such district.
1t is not our purpose now to discuss
the merits of either of these propositions,
but we agree with the State Board that
one or the other of them should be enacted
Some people who hold their integrity high
have no scruples in forgetting to return
matters of bank stock to the assessor,
and as consequence tangible property is
more heavily burdened. 1t should not be
difficult for the legislature to select the
best and most equitable of these bills and
make 1t law of the State.

calling of fouls. Umpire McMurry. Of

PIGGIE


A farmer had a little pig
That lived on milk and meal;
And when the farmer came about
The pig would always squeal,
The more he squealed, the more he grew:
the farmer snapped his eyes
And said ned have hog some day
Well worthy of a prize.
He soon was feeding him on corn,-
The man, mean the pig
But as he never got enough,
The shoat began to dig.
He rooted all around his pen
And ate up all the wormes.
And then he squealed his loudest squeals
To bring his boss to terms.
With squealing much, he grew more fat,
Till killing time came round;
Strong men then caught him by the tail
And threw him to the ground.
A tragedy was then performed
This pen will not describe;
Enough that piggie went the way
OF all his porker tribe.
Cut up and ground was piggie, so,
There's little left to say:
His prompt demise was honored well
At festive board that day.
