Fashionable New Gem.

It is long since anything new !.
precious stones made a bid for pop
ularity, says the Pail Mail Gazette
but since it became known that
King Edward looked with favor on
the peridot the beautiful sage green
gem is beginning to have a vogue
The peridot, the Arabic name for
"precious stone," has for many years
been found in Ural mountain quartz
and in the rocks of South America
but it has been reserved for the
khedive of Egypt to find the stone
in marketable quantity. The stone
is not prohibitive in price and goes
beautifully with almost anything
except sapphires. In settings OF
diamonds or pearls it is effective
and it is likely to be priced for it
decorative value in the larger kind
of ornaments.

Under the new assessment tax
law all real estate is to be as
sessed again at it's ACTUAL
value on January l, 1905. The
law further provides that if there
has been a transfer of the land
within the year, the consideration
for it is sold shall be taken as
the true value. An illustra-
ton of how this new law will
work we can show by an actual
transaction. Recently farm on
Pursley creek, in this district and
county, was sold for $4,000. This
land is now assessed at $1.S2S
and the State, county and district
taxes for the past year amounted
to $41.14. Under the new law,
as the land has been actually
sold within the past year for
$4,000 that is what it must and
will be valued at for the purposes
of taxation. The tax then on
this farm will be. according to
the old rate of taxation. $135 a
year. But in 1905, under the
new law. the taxes for State and
State school purposes is to be re-
duced from 30 cents on the one
hundred dollars to 81 cents.
That will reduce the tax bill on
this farm to S12S.4 which makes
an increase in the taxes of $3.50
a wear. In other words, the taxes
on this farm in 1905 will be over
three times as much as it was IN
1903. The only remedy we can
see or suggest is to elect Dem
ocratic Legislature and hope it
will promptly repeal this law
when the Legislature meets next
winter.

city school. There will be from
six to ten more students who will
attend this winter. Every seat is
full, and the room is crowded al
ready. If we had such a condi-
ton of affairs in country school
the Board of Education would
proceed at once to build a new
school house, but as our people
only pay for all of our city
schools and three-ffths of the
country schools, we have to have
the pupils here damned in and
hung up on the walls. Why is it
so? So far as we can learn the
whole truth is some dirty little
district politics. It's simply an
other cost of having bosses in
politics. Of course, in the lower
rooms the building is simply
TANNED full, one room having
over 100 pupils in it. It's a bad
state of affairs, but we seem to
be helpless in the matter.

THE NEW TAX LAW.
Section II of the new tax law
reads as follows:

Section II of the new tax law
reads as follows:
All property, both real and
personal, in any county, ex- .
cept as herein expressly pro-
vided, shall be assessed as OF
the first of April of each
wear at it's true and actual
value; that is to say: at the
price for which such prop
ertv would sell if voluntarily
offered for sale by the
owner thereof, upon such
terms as such property, the
value of which is sought to
be ascertained, is usually
sold. and not the price
which might be realized If
such property were old at a
forced sale.
We believe that this is unques'
tionably the most unfair law ever
imposed upon the people in this
State. Under this law farm
lands land all other property
both personal and real) will be
doubled, and in some cases quad
rupled.
This law would not be so I'M
fair if the Legislature had at the
same time passed law requiring
the coal. oil and gas companies
to pay taxes on the true and
actual value Of their properties
But the Legislature in obedience
TO the commands Of Mr.. Dawson
refused TO pass such law, not
outstanding the fact that sew
eral Republican members de
manded that such a law be pass
ed. If the oil, Gas and coal in
terests were assessed at their
true and actual value the far
mers could we'll afford to have
theirs land assessed at their true
and actual value" for then they
would not be paying more than
two-thirds as much taxes as they
are paying now.
