TO OVERHAUL IT.
Commissioners to Investigate
Tax Inequalities.

The county commissioners. with the
assistance OF County Clerk Newman,
will thoroughly investigate the tax sit
Uation in Shawnee county and be PIE
pared next year o see that more Just
equalization u taxes is made and that
fewer persons escape paying the taxes
they justly oW4.
While the commissioners really have
nothing to do with tie selection OF the
city and assistant city assessors in an
official way The commissioners will in
terest themselves in the selection ef a
t'cfty assessor and of his assistants and
will begin in that manner TO entirely
change the system of tax assessing and
collection as has been in vogue, by yea
son of laxity on the part of those re-
sponsible for some time.
In the past assessors who may have
been Influenced by friendship have re-
ported valuations lower than they
should be- The commissioners are
aware of a certain instance where the
tax assessors placed an assessed yalu-
alton of 800 on a piece OF property
which sold not long ago for $4,000.
Another instance which has decided
the commissioners in looking into the
tax business of the county more closely
was that last spring the Moeser Ice
and cold storage plant was assessed at
| SIS, 600. A short time after the commits
sioners met as county BOARD OF
equalization and closed the tax accounts
for, the wear the plant sold for 100000
In a few instances property IS assessed
more than its market value but such
cases are not often. One sale was made
recently where the consideration was
So. 200 The property had been assessed
at 81 S00 Where there is one such case
there are scores of instances where the
county is losing money by reason OF a
low valuation.
The county has been losing many
| thousands of dollars each year on ac-
count of assessments being too low and
on account of the long list of personal
property tax which remains uncolleeted
i each year. The commissioners Will
make a decided effort to reduce the
amounts the county loses
One plan under consideration IS that
| of employing a collector to get the I'm :
paid personal property tax and take a
certain percentage. This plan was tried
several years ago and some $1,000 IN
personal property tax was collected for
the county.
If the county owes individuals or bust
ness houses that owe the county per-
sonaI property tax then the county VIII
adopt a clearing house system and ad-
lust the accounts. Not long ago a Ger
tain firm sent a bill to the county for
several hundred dollars. The same firm
owed the county several hundred dol
lars in unpaid personal property taxes
The firm was given to understand that
recent for the taxes would be sent to
| cover the largest portion of the bill and
that the rest would be allowed in cash.
The firm hastened to pay the tax

OFFERS OF HELP.
They Were Showered on st. Louis
During Financial Trouble.

st. Louis Mo-. Oct 2s-The state
ment of President Julius S. Walsh of
the Mississippi Valley Trust company
whose sentiments are echoed in inter
views given to the Associated Press by
other trust company officials of St
Louis, that the situation is thoroughly
in hand, the excitement has subsidized
and from this on we expect business to
be continued in the usual manner, e1-
presses the opinion that seems general
after the unwonted financial condition
which prevailed here. Officers of all the
trust companies state that voluntary
offers of help were received from flnan-
cial institutions in New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, New Orleans, Kansas
City. Boston and many of the smaller
towns Of Missouri and Illinois, but all
were declined for the reason that they
had sufficient cash with which to ham
die their business. Expressions of con-
fdence and offers of aid on the part
the national banks and other financial
institutions , of s Louis helped 70
strengthen the situation and restore
confidence.

WHEAT ON THE GROUND.
S. I. Hale, of Rush, Tells About the
Situation.

Representative S. I. Hale of Rush
county estimates that fully half mil
lion bushels of the four million bushels
OF wheat grown in Rush county Is lying
on the ground for lack of cars in which
10 ship It. he says it is becoming dam
aged by exposure. and he estimates that
the loss to farmers from this source will
be 800 900.
1t doesn't look now as though the car
shortage will be relieved for several
MONTHS said Mr.. Hale in discussing
the matter. 1T will take a good while
to get the wheat shipped The new
crop Of wheat is about all sown. The
acreage is about the same as last year.
$50, 600 acres"
L Schneider. the grain dealer at Otis,
Rush county. who has filed complaints
during the past two months with the
state board of railroad commissioners
against the Missouri Pacific Railroad
company for not furnishing him cars for
shipping grain, now proposes to sue the
company for demurrage on the cars he
has asked for but has not received He
now asks the railroad board to issue him
a certificate that his claim against the
company is just and well founded, ana
he will use that as basis for bringing
his suit.
Mr.. Schneider alleges that Otis, where
he does business, is the nearest ship
ping point for at least one million bush
els of wheat. much of which is now "
ing on the ground for want of cars in
WHICH IL snip [. lie says IndL he cOu1Q
have used from 10 to % cars daily since
September 1, but has received only ten
cars during all of that time. He filed
application for % cars in which to ship
wheat to St Louis on each of the fol-
lowing days: September /, 3, s. s. 9,
10, IL. u, Il, Is. Is. u, %, %, q. %,
and 29, and on October he filed an or
der for 20 cars to ship wheat to Kansas
City. Leavenworth and Salina He says
he could have filled all of these cars
within "A hours after receiving them,
and that as a consequence Of not get
ting cars on the Missouri Pacific many
farmers in his territory have been haul
ing their grain away north to the Tn
ion Pacific and south to the Santa F'e.
He will ask a demurrage of 81 a day on
each of the cars not furnished him.
The fact that the wheat can not be rush
ed to market as rapidly as the farmers
wish is a good thing for those who are N
position to properly care for their grain
OtnerWIse the market would be democrat
lied and the spectators would reap the
benefits It is because the farmers can
not store their grain. however, that there
IS such a rush to market it. They must
into next year and the grain might spoil
in the stack They can not get lumber
to build bins, because the railroads do not
take II in fast enough to supply demands
OF the lumber yards and the only thing
for the farmers TO do is to sell their grain
as soon as II IS threShed or pile it on the
ground. And when cars can not be Sc
cured in which TO ship 1t there is no alter
native but to pile it out on the ground.
