CoWn East DIcKerIHo,

The other day, the dog fancier was
walking down one of the principal
streets Of Lewiston. In tow was a
small bun pup of pretentlous plumage
and wlnsome personality.
Say" said the dog fancier as he
pulled up in front OF a place of bust.
ness, "the mother OF that dog has car.
ried off five prizes In Boston and the
father is one Of the most celebrated
prize winners In this country" The
pup looks up sympathetically as the
proprietor asked: what will you
take for thin one?"
WELL" replied the dog fancier, II
ought to get one hundred dollars for
him, but seeing that its you and that
the cold, hard winter is coming on,
Will sell him to you for seventy.hve
dollars"
There was profound silence
throughout the store as the proprietor
reflected for a moment. Then looking
down at the pup with an appreciatlve
glance, he replied:
"I'll tell you what III do; III give
you twenty-five dollars for his tail, II
you will throw in the rest.'-Lewlston

II, as the story goes, Wardle White,
esteemed editor Of the News, besides
losing money on game Of poker on a
recent date, received whipping from
an intended victim, whom, 1t is said,
he attempted to short change, he is
entitled to our protoundest sympathy.
1t is bad enough to have such a story
become current when one Is not the
loser financially, and has not been
whipped for alleged attempted sharp
practice, and since the story has leak
ed out, whether we'll founded or not,
it is to be hoped that Wardle will sue
coed In getting it hushed up before 1t
becomes generally known, or subscrib
ers to the News may fear to pay up
unless they happen to possess the
right amount Of change.

A bill will be introduced In the next
legislature providing a penalty for
failure to assess property at actual
cash value. The law now states that
property IL to be assessed 1t cash
value but is not enforced because of
the practice by the legislature Of FIX
ing the rate Of the levy for state taxes
As there is only certain sum requir-
ed, and the levy being determined the
valuation Of property must be made
to correspond to the required amount,
hence the practice Of assessing at a
percentage Of cash value. The Law
which provides that the assessors meet
10 March to Tx basis Of assessment
does not necessarily imply that a pei
cent OF real value Is to be adopted but
that their Judgment shall be used In
determining just what the real value
OF the different classes OF property Is
The law making 1t obligatory upon
both the ofiicer and the owner to list
property at real value ought to pass
1t will greatly improve some OF the
inequalities Of taxation.
