Illinois is now experimenting With O
new tax law. the main provisions OF
which are. First that each property
holders must appear before the Board of
County Assessors and submit O. sworn
schedule of his property real ana per-
sonal I'm case of refusal. 30 per cent. of
a fair estimated value of Dis property
IS added for purposes of taxation.
Second. the law requires that nh in-
dividual assess ments De made public.
The Chicago Times-Heraid. in order 10
ascertain how the new law is operating,
recently sent queries to JOE counties of
the state. and says that reports from
assessors in three fourths of The coun-
ties I'm answer 10 its queries show that
the first assessment under the law has
fully demonstrated She success Of the
measure in increased revenues and 100
wiping out tax evasion. Indeed. our
contemporary says. there is every reason
TO believe that the enactment OF the
measure marked the beginning of new
era I'm the revenue affairs of illinois. and
that while the law is not perfect. it lays
the foundation FOR tho ultimate solution
OF tho most serious problem That cone
fronts Illinois and every other Common
wealth I'm the Union. The honest take
payers are AN in favor OF the Jaw and
they so outnumber those who are disc
posed 20 ovade Sos provisions that tho
county assessors who have made an fine
tellrent study of the measure have found
little difficulty in spreading tho ASSESS
ment in accordance with ITS require
monts. OF the total number of counties
reported. &c goes on. more than ono half
report increased assessments ranging
from 10 TO 500 per cent. while in Cook
county. I'm which Chicago is located. the
Increase IS estimated at 75 per cent 10
IS significantly added that peculiarly
heavy increases aro noted i'm personal
property assessments.
There are serious objections certainly,
20 a law that forces man to- publish 20

sessions and wo are not prepared to exc
press our approval of the Illinois sys-

with the general purposes Of the law.

ONE CITY SHOW WINDOU.
Pretty Spectacle Furnished by the Dealer
in Poultry supplies.

Among the many city show windows that at
tract attention is that of the dealer in poultry
supplies; there Is, perhaps, none that e2cites
more general interest In the store may be seen
incubators and broodcrs. a great variety of sup
plies of one sort and another used in modern poul-
try raising. The window display consists chiefly
Of lively lot Of little chicks. Matched out in an
incubator on the premises and running around
here just as they would in farmyard or a big
chickcncoop.
The deep window is divided in the middle,
back from the glass; into two long little yards,
the division being made and the entire window
space being enclosed by wire fencing Of kind
commonly used for making enclosures for such
little chicks TO run in. At the centre of each
OF these yards Is a portable fountain designed
for such use. at which the chicks drink when
they want to. There are chickens In each yard.
Incubator Matched though these little chicks
are they act just the same though they had
been Matched out by a setting hen, and they run
about here in this window precisely as they
would in yard in the open country.
They scratch and scratch in tn. gravel and
pick up food. and they flap their queer little
bits of wings and skip about here and
there and hop up now and then on the
rim of the fountain in their yard and take a
drink. and then hop around some more and scratch
up the gravel, not emitting the great characteristic
chicken act Of dropping upon occasions whatever
they have got themselves, abandoning their own
digging completely, to run after some chick that
seems to have made a strike. Let some chicken
away up in the back end of the window in one of
the yards appear to strike il rich and every chick
that happens to be down front will go rushing and
tearing up the yard TO what the other chick has
got or IL the discovery, or the seeming dis
covery for what the racing chickens leave
