DISCRIMINATION IN TAXES.
INDIVIDUALS PAY MORE AND CORPORATIONS LESS IN
MISSOURI THAN IN ILLINOIS AND IOWA.

Democratic orators are tesaing the
taxpayers Of Missouri that the rail-
roads Ia this state are assessed az S12-
600 q mile. while IN Illinois they are
assessed at : 600. and a. $1,000 a mile
In Iowa. From this comparison Demo
Gratis who do not know the difference
between the revenue laws OF Missouri
and the two adjoining states. Illinois
and Iowa. draw much comfort
Democratic officials az jefferson
City. however. do know the difference
between these laws. and they also
know that the taxpayers OF illinois AMI
Iowa pay less state taxes. and the
railroads more state taxes. In proper
ton 10 the full valuation OF such
property. than the taxpayers and rail-
roads Of Missouri pay. They believe
that the people OF this state are either
TO ignorant or too careless 20 ie IN
the real facts. and accordingly. that
their false statements win be gen
orally accepted as the truth. Nov
here are the facts In the case.
The laws OF Missouri require prop
erty OF all classes 10 be assessed AZ its
actual cash value.
The laws Of Illinois require
property OF ali kinds 70 be assessed
at one-hfth Of lis cash value.
The revenue laws OF Iowa require
property Of all kinds 20 be assessed
AZ one-fourth OF It's cash value
A piece Of property In Missouri that
was taxed It Q valuation Of $1,000,
would be taxed at a valuation Of 500
In IDnols and $3.50 IN Iowa
These are pain truths which the
Democratic state ring has always con.
cealed from the public. for reasons
which any man OF common intelligence
viii readily understand.
The purpose Of this article is not to
show that the assessed valuation Of
real estate. personal property. rail.
road. telegraph end bridge property
IN Missouri e. either too high or too
low. but TO show c~oncluslvely that tho
taxpayers OF Missouri really pay more
state taxes In proportion 20 the value
OF their property, and that the rail
roads. telegraph and bridge companies
psy less taxes in Missouri than Is the
case In either Illinois or Iowa
The tax for state purposes In Mis-
souri, Is seventeen cents OF the 500
vAluftion: hfty-two cents IN Illinois
the 500 valuation. and three
and une.half cents on the 500 yalua.
ton In Iowa. Let Il be remembered
that property ia assessed az It's full
casa value IN Missouri: az one-hfth OF
lie cash value IN Illinois and az one
fourth OF its cash value fra Iowa.
on this basis the Missouri taxpayer
nays seventeen cents on the 500.
-hiia the illinois taxpayer pays ten
cgaIk cad two mille on the same. rnd
ihe Iowa taxpayer psys less than one
cent. or eight and thrcc'tourth MILLS

So much for q comparison on real
estate and personal property. This
showing Is bad enough. but TIE worst Is
10 come IN the matter Of the assess
ment OF railroad. telegraph and bridge
property. The reader viii bear IN
mind that this property Is assessed on
the same basis as other property in all
the states. save one road IL Illinois
which pays q percentage on its earn.
ings. The same basis Of valuation Is
maintained In all three Of the states
that applies 20 real estate and per
sonai property. towit: Fun cash
value in Lissoun: one fifth cash value
in Illinois: one fourth cash value In
Iowa The Democratic figures give
the average assessed vs'ustion Of these
roads. per nile. as follows:
MISSOURI $4,000
Illinois 1000
Iowa 6.0oe
These figures win here be accepted
as stating the facts. Then taking the
Missouri method Of valuing property
st It's full cash value and apply II 20
Illinois, where only one-fifth % the
value is taxed, and Iowa where only
onefourth Of the va'ue Is taxed. this
showing would be made Of the fall
value Of railroad property. per mile.
In the three states:
missouri tlG9Qo..
iowa 1850
Ilnol 5000
There are stiil other ways o. pre-
sentinE the matter. Taking the aver
age mileage valuation placed on the
Missouri railroads by the state board
Of equalization al jefferson City as
being the correct basis On which they
should pay taxes-the Illinois and
Iowa rules OF valuation. applied here
in Missouri. would tar this property on
a mileage basis as follows;
Illinois sl.bNe
Iowa l.foo
Another way Of looking a. the matter
is 10 assume that Missouri has adopted
either the Illinois or Iowa method Of
fixing the valuation OF railroads This.
Of course. the Democrats viii deny.
But for the sake OF making one more

The W.dow In India.

No institution Of India has been 80
exaggerated as that OF the widow.
She really occupies a place analogous
10 u antique old maid, now so fast
disappearing In the girl bachelor. The
aged widow who has remained true to
her principles is regarded as a holy
being who has withstood a thousand
temptations and prosecutions and com
nands the respect of a saint from all
persons. She is the mother Of all the
children in the neighborhood, the help
mate of all the neighbors. at evening
hey flock around to hear her repeat
the ancient legends, the stories of Sta
and Saiytri, Draupdia, or sing the
songs of Mira Bal. She is in great de
mand when cooking is needed for a sa-
cred feast. She teaches the little ones
their first hymns and prayers. She
nurses the sick, comforts the dying.
She believes herself to be bound to her
husband for everlasting time through
all births and deaths. The momentary
separation here is but one shade of her
marriage, an unknowable mystery of
destiny. It breaks no tie.-Everybody's

Helping a Composer of Music.

Haievy was somewhat of a pedant
IN writing music. He worked very
slowly and deliberately and made hun
dreds Of changes before he was sat
ts1ed. When ideas would not come
at his bidding he employed q very
singular means to help his genius
along. A kettle filled with water was
put over a fire, and the monotonous
singing Of the boiling water acted as
a wonderful stimulant on his magma
ton. While composing, his brother.
Leon Halevy, was always with him.
doctoring the verses Of the text and
adding and scratching syllables wher-
yer it was necessary. For this reason
be was called text surgeon among
Ills friends. Leon Halevy was by no
means q progressing man. and the
poet Heine is responsible for the fol-
lowing description Of him: "He looks
as If his brother had composed him."
