AUDITORS TO MEET.
Meeting 70 Be Held in Columbia and
Will Be Important.
Assess IN ant of Property at True Mar
kor Value Of Vital ImpOrtace
to tho Entire State.

to tho Entire state.
Comptroller General jones means
business in the step he has taken to-
ward getting the tax assessment OF
property, real as we'll as personal, In
this state on market value b sis, In.
stead OF on al uneven pretense OF a
80 per cent, basis. The circular let
ter of Instructions. which he sent cut
last week to county auditors, assess
Ing boards and county tqlalizipg
boards directing that the law be strict
ly observed with the beginning OF the
new year and that property be assess
ed at its true market value, has been
followed by call for a co Vention OF
county auditors to meet with the
comptroller general for a conference
to decide upon plan OF action to be
pursued evenly and similarity throug D.
out the state. The step which the
Comptroller general has taken hes
caused much talk throughout the
state and has set property holders TO
thinking. OF course, 1t Is a sort OF
revolutionary measure, and while the
Justice and the sense of 1t has appeal
ed to many good business men and
big property holders regardless OF the
fact much Of this sort OF property will
be affected, still the thing has not
been generally understood, and there
Is q fear also that the purpose OF the
comptroller general to equal'ze the
property throughout the state more
nearly will not be successful under
the departure he is making On account
of the great proficiency and skill In
dividuals and communities have &C.
1uired by long practice and e1perier ,
in the matter of tax lodging.
1.-The erroneous idea appears to
have taken hold In various parts OF
the state" Mr.. Jones said Wednesday
THAT this Is q scheme to increse the
taxes. Such is not the case. My OBJ
ject Is to get property eq1alized In
this state and stop this shameful tax
lodgings. There are some notorios ex'
ceptions, but generally speaking the
cotton mills and other big property
are being assessed on genuine 60 per
cent. basis, and small property Is be-
ing assessed at from to 100 per cent.
Only 30 much money Is needed to run
the state and county governments,
and the higher the assessment the
greater the yield Of money OF a given
levy, but the levy may be easily
changed. In other words, If the as.
sessment is doubled throughout the
state, the levies for state, county and
city purposes may DO cut In half.
The inequality and Injustice OF the
taxation of property in this state has
been shame, and disgrace for de-
cades.

A SUNBEAM

If YOU can sit down at set Of sun,
And count the acts that you have done;
And counting, find
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart Of him who heard;
One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then you may count that day well spent.
But If through all the livelong day
You've cheered no heart by yea OF nay;
IF through it all
You've nothing done that you can trace,
That brought the sunshine to one face;
No act most small,
That helped some soul, and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse than lost.

This Innovation Is Being Introduced for
the Convenience of the Cleveland Publicly
right at the public's elbow and save it the
trouble of seeking out some drug store
or other place where public phone
could be found.
The eastern cities are enjoying this In
creased convenience For some time
Philadelphia was the city farthest west
where such street phones had been in
troduced But gradually this innova-
ton is working it's way westward, and
Cleveland o., is the latest city to boast
of such accommodations. Two of these
new outdoor phones have already been
installed, one at the corner of East Mad
ison and Euclid. and the other at Bolton
and Euclid. The telephone company,
which is putting these instruments in.
claims that they have already demon
strated their utility, and more will be
installed. They will be distributed in
portions of the city where public indoor
telephones are scarce and hard to get
at, especially at night.
The method Of operation of these out
door phones is as follows: The patron
lifts lever, opening the door of the in
closing box, and is then enabled to use
the phone by dropping nickel, just
as In any other public phone.
