Of saying that all the lands in Il town
ship, for instance, for the purposes of
taxation, shall be valued at $i.15 per
acre, when some Of them may easily be
worth four times that sum. Vet that
is about what the board Of equalization
dOEs. One man may have 100 acres OF
land worth $1,000 while his neighbor
may have the same quantity Of land
worth only 5000, and yet if it is in the
same township the board of Cqualiza-
tion will come along and fix valuation
OF the land OF that township at say
poses Of taxation the $4,000 tract will be
valued at $500 and the 5000 tract at
5000 also. In this way one man gets
out OF paying tax on $500 worth OF
property while his neighbor, who is
less able to do it, pays on $500 more
than be has, and yet this is cqualizing
the property for taxation. There is
need that something be done along this
line. 1t would be better that all prop
crty should be assessed at its true
value and if this were done the rate Of
taxation could be very greatly reduced,
except OF course the school tax, and
then the income for schools would be
about doubled and every county would
have its s. per capita.

The greatest trouble with our system
of taxation Is in tho equalization Of
property for taxation. If all property
was assessed at its proportionatc value
1t would make no difference whether
tho rate OF tax was high or low just SO
it was no more than enough to run the
government. Every class Of property
would bear it's proper share Of the bur-
den. I mean to say that there Is no
sense in assessing all horses, regard

Spain three or four city detectives and
a secret service man were on duty at
the White House. This was dm5ng the
period when the president continued his
triWeekly receptions in the east room
to the public. There was some danger
then that cranks might attempt harm,
The president did not abandon these
receptions until the war was closed,
and work crowded upon him so heavily
that he was forced to give all his time
to his office and to the hundreds of
matters before him. In addition. to
these receptions, which presented good
chances for cranks, the president ire
quently took long walks during the day,
generally accomplished by a member OF
his cabinet. Detectives were not with
him, and if there was danger, he was
often exposed to it.
During the war there was no IN
pleasant incident at the White House
growing out of the visits of suspicious
characters. The detectives closely
scanned all visitors. Sometimes the
president received as many as a thou
sand people at receptions but all of
them were patriotic Americans, loving
and respecting their president. Every
visitor who in any way resembled
Spaniard or a foreigner of southern
blrth, was watched by three or four
sets of keen eyes. The president was
probably not aware that detectives

A Chicago man sent in fragments of

affidavit telling how the other halves
had been destroyed; and in the same
mail the other halves of these notes
came in from a Chicago bank. A special
agent caught the maker of the affidavit,
who proved to be the tool of some
swindlers and he was sent to prison
for year and a half.

GOOD VERSES.
THE PIPES OF PAN"

When the woods are gay in the time of
June
With the chestnut flower and the fan.
And the birds are still in the hush of
noon
Hank to the pipes of Pan!
lie plays on the reed that was once a maid
Who broke from his arms and ran,
And her soul goes out to the glistenng
glade
Hark to the pipes of Pan!
Though you hear come not near
Fearing the wOod-god's ban:
Soft and sweet in the dim retreat
Hank to the pipes of Pan!
When the armies meet on the battlefield,
And the fight is man TO man.
With the gride of sword and the clash of
shield
Harll to the pipes of Pan,
Through the maddened Shrek of the fly
ing rear,
Through the roar of the charging van.
There slSirls the tune of the God of fear
Hark to the pipes of Pan!
Turn and feet is he
Let him escape that can,
Ringing out in the battle shout
Hark TO the pipes of PAM
