CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS.

The conditions of eminent success
are ineXorably hard. Only n few will
make the sacrifice.
First.-One must believe his adopted
vocation is for life, and he must work
like a gladiator. Patient, untiring in
dustry always receives its reward.
SecOnd.-To be society man" and
a lover of pleasure is fatal TO success.
Thlrd.-Only such recreation as Is
necessary to preserve health is per-
MISSILE.
urth.-Intemperance and excuses
OF all kinds are barred out.
Fifth.-It is mandatory to rise early,
with n clear brain, refreshed by neces-
sary rest. Morning is the best time to
work, as the proverbs in all languages
testify.
SiXth.-If occasion demands it, one
must face the strictest economy in diet,
dress and all home surroundings

Full Cash Value Assessment.

At the annual meeting of assessors
of Iowa county held at Dodgeville
last Thursday, Hon. II. l.. Joiner, SUI
pervisor Of assessments, delivered an
address Of instruction and comment
of about two columns in length If
put in type. The following para
graphs of special interest are taken
| therefrom:
| The assessment OF this county
| last year was much the most salts
factory one from every point OF view
that was ever made. Nearly all the
assessors assessed real estate, in my
opinion, high enough. Those who
did not will discover, If they have
not already done so, that they
| gained no advantage over other
towns by low assessment, but only
succeeded IN working injustice be.
tween taxpayers in their respective
districts owning different classes OF
prop erty. For instance, one assessor
| assessed farm at $4,000, and assessed
mortgage on that farm, held by
another taxpayer in that town. at
| $4,000.
"Any assessor who, in violation
| of law, follows what may be "A
custom in his town of undervalua-
ton of tangible real and personal
property, should, to be just and con.
sistrnt, extend the benefit Of that
custom to notes and mortgages. so
long as mortgages and notes are AS
sessed by law, we should be very
careful that they are not charged
with an undue portion of the tax.
"Much non. uniformity appeared
last year between the several dis
tricts in the assessment Of that class
of property listed AS "All Other Prop
erty." 1t includes, as it's most inn
portant item, farm machinery. The
assessment Of that class of property,
"a some towns, was a farce; one farm
wagon alone being worth more than
the value put upon all the reapers,
mowers, seeders, plows, rakes, hay
loaders, etc, of u large and prosper
Gus farm We are fair subject for
criticism, severe criticism too, by
men who have only money or cred
its to assess, which we do assess a
100 on the dollar, when we assess the
farm machinery OF large farm at
about the price it would bring as old
iron.
Anyone OF common sense can see
at glance that only true and full
valuation, or some uniform per cent
o. true value which shall be APP
piled to all classes of property, real
and PERSONAL IS a just valuation.
What is tile full value Of an article
of property? The assessment laws,
the decision of our highest courts and
the Tax Commission all agree that
it is the money value of that article
at ordinary sale. Forced sale value
may or may not be the true value.
Credit sale values are very rarely
the cash value. Nearly all credit
sales Of personal property are subject
to ten per cent discount for cash.
Credit sales of land | believe to be
more than that, above cash value.
Each of you must be the judge, in
respective districts, of what that
cash value is. Keep in mind all the
time purpose to make it FULL CASH
VALUE irrespective of any considera-
ton which would induce you to
make it less, and record npon your
assessment roll your honest judg-
ment.n

Justified by the Courts.


The New York Court of Appeals
the Supreme court of that state-iast
week unanimously declared the fran
chise tax law entirely valid. And
behind this decision there Is polit-
ico-legal tale OF more than ordinary
interest.
When Theodore Roosevelt became
governor of New York "A cardinal
feature of his policy was that the
franchises of public service corpora
lions, as well rs their tangible prop
erty, should be toxed. or course the
Interested corporations objected, but
the proposed law was put on the
statute book. Under 1t the state has
assessed in three years taxes OF more
than $lS0O0O00, thus obtaining reVe-
nue. for needed public improvements
and tightening the burden Of taxa
tion ON the poor and the people OF
moderate means.
The Interested corporations at
tackled the law in the courts, basing
their contentious Chic fly upon "A pro-
vision whose insertion they bad
themselves asked in the interest OF
fairness that the tax should be as
sessed by state board, and not by
local taxing bodies, which might DIS
criminate or be prejndiced. The
court where the action was begun
sustained the law. But the inter
mediate court, to which the appeal
was then taken, declared the law
unconstitutional
This decision was rendered just at
the time when great financial inter
ests were especially irritated with
President Roosevelt because Of his
insistence that the legality of the
Northern Securities company be
tested. and because Of his interven-
ton to end the hard coal strike. Aud
so the decision OF this intermediate
court was received with great glee
by these financial interests, and was
heraIdpd over the country as de-
feat OF the Roosevelt policies Of cor
poration control, and as IA "rebuke
from the courts to Theodore Roose-
welt.
The attorneys for the Northern Sc
curities company assured their eli
ents and boosted to the country that 1t
was wholly inside the law, aud could
not be touched by the courts. But
four Judges Of the United states Cir
cult court have said that the trust
attorneys were wrong, aud that The
odure Roosevelt and his legal advis-
ers were right.
The public service corporations Of
New York state declared that they
would not pay taxes on their frau
chiscs, and that they had beaten the
Roosevelt policy which sought to
tax them. But the highest court of
New York says unanimously that the
corporations must pay aud that The
odore Roosevelt again was right.
Discretion would seem to be the
better part Of yalor on the part of
these great corporations and power
full financial interests. Why should
they keep on tightnga statesman who
desires to injure no Legitimate inter
est-who merely insists that none
can be above the law-whom public
opinion sustains, and whose policies
are justified by the courts?

Bser's Damaging admi s sions.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
George f. Baer, better known as
"Devine Right" Baer-denied to the
inter. state commerce commission on
Wednesday last that there is such a
thing as hard coal trust, and taat
he personally fixed the price of all
the hard coal burned in the United
States
Mr.. Baer is all extremely narrow
minded and self-conceited person. 1t
doubtless flatters his vanity to pose
as an arbiter of coal prices and coal
miners wages-as god who dis
spenses favors to his worshippers and
deals out damnation round the land
to all he finds his foes. 1t may also
please those whose servant he is that
he should be so ready to assume per-
sonal responsibility for the manifold
offenses of the coal trust.
Baer's posing is, however, dan
gerous sort of amusement. OF course
his assertions are untrue. The con-
troll of the hard coal business is in
the hands Of far ADLER and stronger
men than this self-inhated fanatic,
with his delusion that it is an imper-
Thence for ordinary men to think
about their rights, since Divine
Providence has placed rich men in
the world to take care of their rights
for them.
But, true or untrue, his admissions
are damaging to the interests he rep
resents. 1t they be untrue they call
public attention to the cynicism of
the meu who employ servant who
incurs public hatred and contempt
every time he opens his mouth II
they be true they call public atten-
ton to the need of changing laws
which permit moral lunatic to OBJ
