THE MORNING SESSION.
Addresses by Auditor Hart and Sec
rotary of state Hunt.

At the opening session of the assessors
duced Union b. Hunt, secretary of state.
Mr.. Hunt talked on Assessment OF Teie-
phone Property He said the local unin-
corporated companies are assessed by the
county assessor, while incorporated COM
ranies are assessed by the State Board of
Tax Commissioners. Under the law" he
said, the State is to find the true cash
value of such property by adding TO the
mortgaged value the aggregate shares OF
stock" He urged telephone companies TO
use care in making reports to the state
board.
At the close of the address the question
box was opened and Attorney General Tay-
lor answered many questions.
Auditor of State Hart also read a paper
at the morning session. Tn topic treated
was 1.-The States Sources of Income Mr..
Hart told of the total amount Of assessed
land and improvements in Indiana, lots
and improvements and the value of per-
sonal property. He said that the assess
ment of personal property is nearly as large
as the total on lots and Improvements. he
said the statement displayed is enough to
show that the public treasury is being de-
frauded "A large item of income could be
added" he said. IF the mortgages held by
aliens could be reached by taxation. There
are millions Of dollars in first mortgages
in Indiana held by European capitalists
and Eastern corporations that are not
bearing any tax burden because of eva
sion Mr.. Hart concluded his paper with
an optimistic discussion of the tax dupli-
Gates for the coming year, which, he said,
would surely figure higher than in any
previous year.

sHoEING THE CITY's HORSES.


At a special meeting OF the Board OF
Public Safety yesterday morning Edward
II. Lowry & Co. made a written PROPOSE
ton which. il is said. will be resisted by
every blacksmith and horseshoer who has
a share in the business of shoeing the city's
horses.
The Lowry company asks a contract TO
shoe all the horses used by the city in the
police and fire departments and Ia the
service of the City Dispensary. The prices
il fixes are on a union scale, as follows:
For four new machine shoes. s.. for four
handmade shoes. $3.50; for four cushion
pads, according to size required. $3.50 10
$50: for bar shoes. s. a pair. The company
agrees TO maintain a portable forge, which
shall be at the call OF the chief OF the fire
department at any hour OF the day or
night, SO that at no time the service Of
any of the departments may be crippled
from delay i'm attending horses.
There are twenty or thirty individual
firms of horseshoers that now have "A share
I'm the business of the city. and IL is not
likely they will submit 10 the granting OF
a years contract 10 one firm without a
strong protest TO the board.

time IT had been used in connection with a
large power plant.
The Eureka IS not a device. but a chem
zeal compound which is mixed with water
and sprinkled over the coal. The coal used
yesterday was slack, which was said 10
cost - cents a ton.
At the chair plant there are two boilers
side by side. On one Of them is the me-
chanical device. The other one was used
for the slack coal soaked with the secret
preparation. When the fuel was first
thrown into the hrebox there appeared a
moment later at the top Of the smokestack
a larg amount OF what might be called thin,
light smoke. IL was. In fact, quite light as
compared with the smoke issuing from the
same chimney when coal or slack which
had not been soaked was thrown upon the
fire. The chemical compound did not at
smoke from the top OF the stack. but after
the first few moments there was nothing Of
the usual black, heavy smoke coming from
many smOkestacks in the same district
where the compound was not used.
From the smOkestack connected with the
furnace in which the mechanical device was
working there issued a heavier and blacker
smoke when the coal was first thrown onto
the fire. but X took less time for IL 10 thin
Gown until the smoke emitted was almost
im~percepuble.
Messrs. Lee and Cooper expressed them
selves as well pleased with the test. They
said the cost Of the mechanical device Is
many hundreds of dollars and that it's con-
tnuous operation renders frcQuen repairs
necessary. while the cost OF the chemical
compound is limited 10 the original expense.
after a tank for mixing the s%prinkling fluid
Is erected. The cost OF the compound in
small quantities is about s cents for each
ton of coal. while In large quantities IL Will
cost about one-half that amount The
chief engineer at the kingan a Co. plant
witnessed the tests and said the new plan
would no doubt be satisfactory in any small
boiler plant, and In any case he thought IL
would bring immunity from prosecutions
tor violations OF the smoke ordinance.
Mayor BOokwalter and Mr.. Bartel ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with the test
and declared that the compound may be
made practicable and commercially valua-
bic with further experimentation. The
building inspector expressed the opinion
yesterday that. while the chemical seems
TO operate satisfactorily with slack coal. IL
might fail in Its purpose when applied to
lump coal, since the process OF absorption
would naturally be more difficult.

To illustrate how coffee can affect the
eyes the words OF a lady i'm Woodland. Ia.

Il was brought up 20 believe that tea
was Injurious. but was allowed TO drink
coffee from childhood. Ever since can
remember l have been subject TO severe
attacks OF headache. otherwise my health
was pretty good until a short time ago my
eyes became affected: they ached and
pained me continually and were offea
badly infamed. also had queer lazy
feelings in nay head almost continually.

ages, do not pay a poll tax nor do they

General Taylor made an address on the de-
duction and exemption laws. He also made
a few suggestions to the assessors. Fol-
lowing this the various committees appoint
ed at the meeting the day before made their
reports. At first there was considerable
discussion Of the reports. In many cases
the value placed on stock was cut in half

Governor Durbin also made All address.
The following resolutions were adopted:

the LIST Of March for commencing the as
sessment of property.
Resolved. That we recommend that

OF comparing work so they may be better
able to equalize the assessments of prop
erty I'm the different townships.
Resolved. That we a con-
tinuance of the district assessors meeting.

way the condition of the treasury, and
when they had ascertained that they found
that there was no necessity for the raise.
Hence the necessity for intelligence In all
our actions.

admonition once more to keep this on your
minds. AS you drive about your county
IL is a simple way to have a little book IN
your pocket and jot down things. As you
are driving along and see things. you may
know that this man has thus and so, and
then when TX comes time for the listing OF
property you will refresh your minds and
get at this in a manner that will be eqult-
able and fair and just and upon the true
cash value. A motion to adjourn will now
be in order"

SMOKE CONSUMER TESTS.
a Chemical and Mechanical
Device Used Side by Side.

A test OF a plan for the abatement Of the
smoke nuisance conducted at the plant of
the Central Chair Company. at Georgia and
Missouri streets, yesterday. was interesting
chiefly from the fact thai the comparative
work OF two plans could be seen.
The company has had in operation for
some time a device by which the amount Of
dense smoke issuing from the smokestack
is lessened by use OF a steam jet and hot
air. The company has been using ''run-of-
mine coal. costing about SID a ton.
Yesterday afternoon at the plant z. A.
Cooper. f. T. Lee and b.. A. Day. the pat
entees OF what hey call the Eureka smoke
consumer, tested their plan. IL had been
tested quite thoroughly in places where
smaller boilers With less power are Ia Op-
Grafton and proved 20 be very satisfactory.
In fact. tive patentees MAKE great claims

"You will observe, therefore. that. al
though Illinois has 50 per cent. more miles
of railroad within the State than there is
I'm Indiana, yet the total assessment on
railroads in Indiana is about twice that of
Illinois.
You will further observe that. aIthousb
the wealth Of Illinois is vastly greater than
the aggregate wealth of Indiana. vet the
total assessment on property I'm Indiana is
10 per cent. above that of the State of
Illinois.
You say at once that our property is
assessed too high; and that there certainly
is no omitted property in Indiana. Neither
of these conclusions follows. for in Indiana
the tax levy is low. while in Illinois il is
very high. DO you know there are towns
In illinois where the tax levy has been as
high as Is cents on the dollar? And a rate
Of s or : cents on the dollar is not uncom-
mon i'm that State. Think OF IL.
The net earning power OF unhazarded
money In this country. such as government
bonds, amounts TO about 10 per cent. And
here is a tax rate in Illinois that is S.
greater than the total gross earning power
OF unhazarded money.
lis il any wonder that chaos has come in
the taxing affairs OF that state? Is IL any
wonder that utter confusion is now exist
ing in all the municipalities OF Illinois?
Indiana has pursued an even course.
Admittedly. she has the best tax laws of
any State I'm the Union. Taxable property
In Indiana is more generally reached tha
that OF any other State In the Union. There
Is a less proportion of omitted property i'm
Indiana, in my Judgment, than i'm any other
state i'm the Union.
We have an abundance Of taxes in this
State. What we need is to curtail expenses

treasury. but shut of leaks from the treas
ury. Governments are not organized 10
