ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION

1.-THE assessment and taxation law
is still unsatisfactory" says the gov
ernor. The present law provides that
all property shall be assessed at its
actual value. But the assessors
avoid this statute. The governor
says; "Should the legislature make
provision for the appointment of a
commission to revise the present law,
their report to be presented to tn
next legislature, the desired purpose
might be accomplished. In case of
the appointment of such commission,
however, the length of time to be de-
voted to the work, and the compensa-
tion,s hould be fixed by statute"

lieves the State should charge small

It is well known that the president
discourages in every way, and at all
times, the suggestion Of an extra SEES
sion. Certainly the house has made
1t clear that il will not be due
20 any delay in that branch of con
kress that necessity for an extra SEES
zion will arise. The amount Of work
performed by the house during the two
weeks preceding the holiday recess has
rarely, If ever, been equaled by any
Legislative body. The senate seems
Indifferent TO such an example, and the
delay and drag in legislation will be
in that branch, as it always is, and
most exasperatingly so during the
short and therefore limited session.

THIS HARNESS OF WOOD.
The Contrivance Made a Century Ago
 By an Ingenious Yankee.
Trom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Ex-Secretary of State D. A Buck of Willimantic has a curiosity in the shape of harness made entirely of wood. It was made by Stephen Chapeman. who lived and died in Westford village, and MT. Buck remembers when a boy seeing Chapeman, who was then 70, driving about with wagon which he made himself and this wooden harness.
 MT. Buck recently purchased the old farm where Chapeman lived and found the harness in the house. It is more than 100 years old, but every part, of it is well preserved.
 The harness is made entirely of hickory and is all wood except two short straps of leather which fasten the girths, and little pad on the saddle where it rests on the horses back. There are only. three buckles on the harness and they were made by Chapeman. The girths, hold back straps, traces and reans are made or narrow strips of hickory, fastened to- gether by iron links.
 The breeching is a piece of hickory curved to fit the horse and so are the saddle and the names.
 Chepeman was a natural mechanic and built all the tools and implements he re- quired to work his farm.

ELKs' HoM E.
The Lodge at Tuscaloosa Will Erect a
 Three-Story Building.

Tuscaloosa, June 14.--(Special.) IA great deal of interest is being taken in the opera house and Elks' home that is to be built in this place by the local lodge B. P. O. E. At the regular meeting last night the lot committee was instructed to purchase a handsome lot on Main street on the lot just below the Wash ington Hotel. The lodge will become the owners of the property at once and will make preparations to begin the work of erecting a three-story building as soon as a sufficient amount of the bonds are taken. The plans for the home consist of basement and three floors above The basement will be used for bath and toilet room and probably a swimming pool will be put in 1t. The entire front portion of the building will be used for club room purposes. The first floor will be devoted to the auditorium of the opera house, which will have a seating capacity of 800 and stage 30x6S feet, with dis tance of 50 feet to the gridiron. Just over the auditorium will be the lodge room 60x70 feet in dimension. This will be the third floor. as 1t will take the second floor for the galleries in the opera house. The dressing rooms are to be under the stage. The Elks have a sufficient amount of money on hand to more than pay for the lot and nearly half of the bonds taken. This will give Tuscaloosa one of the most modern and up to date play houses in the state and an Elks home that will be unexcelled out side of Bir- mingham. It is confidently believed that the opera house will be completed before the season of, 1923.
