In some quarters there seems to be
considerable apprehension lest there
be an Immediate over-production Of
rice in the United States. Now the
trouble is not an over production but
an er-consumptioD. Spain with
less than 100000 people pro-
duces nearly 80 per cent. more rice
that the United States; Italy with
about one-fourth our population
raises over five times as much; Ja-
pan with something more than one
half our number of inhabitants pro-
duces nearly fifty times as much
rice and yet has no surplus. The
annual consumption of sice in Japan
is given rs $50 pounds per capita,
while in the United States it is
barely four pounds. The hest mar

ANOTHER DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP
Colorado Springs Gazstte.

Colorado Springs Gazstte.
Once again the assessor is upon
our tracks, and his deputies are
busily engaged looking through the
windows, and down the coal-holes,
and in at the kitchen door to learn
if possible how much wealth is ly-
ing scattered about our premises.
Probably there is nothing about
which all men prevaricate SO much
or SO hard as about their assess
ment returns. 1t is taken for
granted that they will not tell the
whole truth, and the assessor is
guided accordingly. He does not
expect to tell the truth either. He
expects to make a plausible show
ing. Hitherto he has valued prop
erty at as low figure as he con-
sistently could, and then divided by
three. This is based ON the prop
osition that reliable mortgage and
security companies seldom, if ever,
make a loan exceeding one third
the value of the property. They
take into consideration the sum
that might be realized if forced
sale had to be made, and long ex-
perience has shown that under
those circumstances values are eX-
ceedingly mutabie. This year the
assessment is to be made on the
full valuation, and if there should
be a sudden slump in in the real
estate market, it is not to be taken
as an evidence of another panic.
Property owners who feel that
this is hard proposition may draw
sigh of relief They are not
nearly so bad off as they might be.
There was an amendment to the
revenue bill proposed in the senate
which made it possible for the
county to buy any piece of prop
erty at the valuation Mt which it
was listed. 1t never got past the
purely tentative stage, but when
one reflects on what might have
been, it is easy to see that there is
cause for prolonged and unre-
strained thanksgiving.
1t must also be remembered that
paying taxes is one of the duties of
citizenship. 1t is not so pleasant
as cheering G. A. r. professions or
listening to Flag day addresses,
but it is no less necessary if this
government is not to perish from
the earth. 1t would, perhaps, be a
kind of ameliorating circumstance
if the citizen could come to look
upon his tax receipt as represent
ing to certain extent his stake in
the government. Let us frankly
admit that this is the greatest state
in the union, and that the advan-
tage of living under these skies,
and in sight of these mountains is
quite worth all it can ever cost.
All of which means, in the YER
nacular of the day, give up and
/
look pleasant"

If China were wise she would

A former member of an impor-

entire trust incident.

The Jacks Cabin correspondent
of the Weekly Citizen says, "The
claim made by the PILOT that the
citizens of this locality are disre-
garding the fish law is absolutely
false in every particular" That is
a pretty strong statement and the
burden of proving it at an early
date will probably cause the said
correspondent and the Citizen
much trouble. The information
furnished us came from estimable
Jacks Cabin people, and if they
voiced an untruth it is not our
fault. The PILOT did not state
positively that violations of the fish
law were taking place. We merely
said violations were alleged" and
were then content to let the matter
pass with a warning. No veracity
upon the part of the PILOT is in.
volved in the matter 1t is only
question of telling the truth be
tween the Citizen correspondent
and the parties who furnished the
information for the article which
appeared in this paper.
