pay upon their office furniture but libraries

pay upon their office furniture, but libraries
are exempt.
There are positively no exemptions in re-
gard to horses, carriages, etc, and these
are not to be considered part of the
household goods. Valuable dogs must also
be included in the returns. although it is
expected there will not be many of this
class.
Jewelry clothing and articles of personal
adornment pure and simple are not taxed.
Jewe)ry held as stock in trade or by res
1dent agents is not exempt.
There is a great deal of misapprehension
in regard to the effect of the law upon
bank deposits, stocks, bonds, etc. The per-
sonal tax appraisers have been informed
oy the banks that numbers of their clients
are Withdrawing their funds and placing
them elsewhere in the belief that they will
be taxed.
The law does not provide a tax on de-
posts or savings in any case. Stocks and
Donds are not taxed. The corporations
themselves are taxed as a whole and the
individual holders of stock are not affected
Banks are taxed upon their gross earnings
ana the depositors are not affected.
hrougn the tax on banks bonds are af-
fected only in this way: The bank state
ment will say so much was earned as in
terest on bonds held. These interest earn
lngs are considered with the other earn
ings and taxed with them. Bonds held by
individuals do not come within the scope
of the law.

Determining Values.

Another question generally asked of the
appraisers Is with regard to the method to
be employed in determining the value Of
household goods.
The appraisers say they do not desire the
property owners to base their valuation
upon the original cost of the goods owned
by them. On the other hand, they will not
accept a forced sale valuation With re-
gard to the latter proposition they say the
Householder has no intention of selling out
at auction, so therefore his goods must not
be valued on an auction basis. They sug-
gest fair valuation would be the amount
the householder would like to insure his
goods for in case of fire; not the amount of
insurance allowed, but the amount the
householder would like to have to fully IN
demnify himself
In regard to he valuation Of q NOR
chants stock in trade. the appraisers re-
peat their suggestion that neither the orig
mai cost nor the probable auction figures
be employed They will expect returns from
merchants in the same figures that tbnv
mold their goods as assets in making M a
financial statement of the firms condition
inventories are constantly taken by mer-
chantS to determine the amount of their
assets The appraisers expect a return to
tories.
Will expect a good cash value They do not
ask OF any one valuation based upon as
soclatlon or other cause of endearment
hat would you expect to paw for the
morse II he were owned by some one other
than yourself?' one of the appraisers ra
cently asked man who was making re-
turn That is the kind of. valuation we
expect continued the official.
II Is stated that apparently a large nuno-
per or people are mistaken in the intent Of
the law as to the exemption of 81 900 worth
OF household goods. 1t is especially pointed
out that this does not mean 81. 900 worth cf

IRONCLAD REGULATION

Commissioner Ware of the pension office
is stirring I'D the employees of his Office in a
way that they have not recently eXpe-
rienced. He has adopted an ironclad rule
that charges of intemperance In the use of
alcoholic liquors, when proven, Will be fol-
lowed by dismissal, and that such cases
cannot be reopened by promises to reform
or pleas Of family necessities During the
past week there have been tive or six dis
missals for this reason, and several others,
seeing what was coming TO them, have re-
signed. The first dismissal on charge of
intemperance was Immediately followed by
a request for an interview with the COM
missioner This was granted, and the dis
missed clerk stated that he knew he had
acted In a way to merit the disapproval of
the commissioner, but he had a wife and
children dependent upon his salary, and he
wished to throw himself on the mercy Of
the court" He promised not to do so any
more.
Promises of Reform Intellectual.
The commissioner shook his head. He
was sorry but the time had come when 1t
must be made known to the clerks of the
office that the way to Keep out of
such trouble was to keep out OF 1t
altogether Such reformations and prom
ises had not proven reliable in the past. "A
good many clerks have been using the plea
of dependent families to be relieved from
the results of the use of liquors. 1t has
often proven to be an efhclent plea, but 1t
has been used so long that it is said clerks
have come to regard it as their stock in
trade The commissioner has found the
course he has pursued dlfhcult one. He
frequently has to struggle to follow the
dictates of his head and not those of his
heart But he believes the only way to
break up the practice of clerks coming to
the pension office showing the effects of
having INDUCED in BRAIN n-entanglng liquor
is to enforce an ironclad rule. AS long
excuses and sympathy may be relied on to
"get another chance he has found that
violations constantly occur.
