into effect, will you please say
when it does9 INQUIRER.
There were two new tax laws
passed by the special session OF
the Legislature, a fact every one
should bear in mind to avoid con-
fusion and mistake.
One of them is chapter 4, which
is a revision of the present gen
eral assessment law under which
the assessor elected by the people
assess the personal property and
such realty as is included in i'm
provements, new buildings, etc.
He does not assess the farm lands,
nor city real estate other than
the additions and improvements
made since it was revalued by the
State assessor. Mr.. Long occu-
pies that position now in Tyler
county.
Under the new law he assesses
as of the first day of April, and
he must assess as follows:
Sec. II. All property,
both real and personal lex
cept the real estate which is
assessed by the tax commits
sioner as required by chap
ter ffteen), shall be assessed
at its true and actual value;
that is to say, at the price
for which such property
: would sell if voluntarily Of
fered for sale BY the owner
thereof, upon such terms as
such property, the value of
which is sought to be ascer-
tanned, is usually sold, and
+, not the price which might be
realized if such property
were sold at a forced sale.
The other law, chapter Is, re-
lates exclusively to the revalua-
ton of the real estate, that is, the
farm lands, town lots and the
permanent buildings thereon.
Chapter Is is something entire
ly new to our tax system. 1t Gre
ates lot of high salaried officers,
beginning first with a State Tax
commissioner at $500 year and
found, appointed, not elected.
This State Tax commissioner
then appoints tax commissioners
for each county, one or more, as
he may want, whose duties are
clearly defined. Under this law
the real estate is to be revalued
On January l, 1905, the law say
ing:
Sec. l.. There shall be a
reaSsessment of the value of
the real estate in this State
for the year beginning the
first day of January, nine
teen hundred and five, and
according to the true and act
ual value thereof on that
day.
The manner of revaluing the
farms, town lots, etc. by the tax
commissioner is thus defined by
section ) of chapter 10:
Sec. 5. Each commission
er shall on the first day of
January, nineteen hundred
and FIVE, proceed in person to
examine all tracts of land
and town lots. with all build
ings and improvements there
on, in his county, and shall
upon such examination and
by the aid of all such infor-
nation as he may be able to
obtain, respecting their value,
ascertain and assess the true
and actual value thereof;
that is to say, at the price for
which such property would
sell if voluntarily offered for
sale by the owner thereof,
upon the terms upon which
property is usually sold,
and not the price which

Proper Treatment OF Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumo-
MIA always results from a cold or
from an attack of the grip, and by
the proper treatment of these diseas-
es a threatened attack of pneumonia
may be warded off. There is no ques-
ton whatever about this, as during
the thirty years and more that Cham
berlain' IS Cough Remedy has been
used, we have yet to learn Of single
case of a cold or attack of the grip
having resulted in pneumonia when
this remedy was used. 1t is also used
by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR..
w. J, Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is
also a druggist, says of it: 81 have
been selling Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and prescribing it in my
practice for the past six years. I use
it in cases of pneumonia and have al
ways gotten the best results" Sold

1t is a great thing to mean what you
