SCOPE OF NEW TAX LAWS
Assessment on Personal Property
to Go Into Immediate Effect.
VALUATION ON REAL ESTATE
New Basis Will Not Be In Force
Until 1906, When Levy Will Be
35 Cents on Each 800.

There seems to be some confnson in
regard to the time the provisions Of
the new tax Jaw go into effect. and
several requests for an explanation
have been received at the office of The
Evening World.
Under the law passed at the extra
session of the legislature last summer,
and by reason of instructions issued bv
State Tax Commissioner Dillon, the
county assessors of personal property,
Mr.. Ellis and Mr.. Payne, Will assess
all property coming within their
province at it's real and actual value,
and this assessment On personal pro-
perty will be used by the Berkeley
County court as the basis of taxation
for the present year. Owing to the
fact that there will. be marked in
crease all along the line in the valua-
tion of personal property. the County
court will not be able to fix the levy
until the assessors complete their
work.
The last assessment OF real estate
will govern the tax levy on that form
of property for the present year.
Under the provisions of the new tax
law the valuation now being placed
by Tax Commissioners Smith and
RiQsby will not be operative until
1906, and will..remain in force until
the next assessment, which will be
made in 1909.
The state taxes or 1905 will be
levied upon the present basis of taxa
ton, but the state taxes for 1906 will
be levied upon the basis of 80 cents
upon each 500 of valuation. The
following year. 1907. the basis will
be "a cents upon each 500. in 1908 il
will be Is cents and in 1909 aud
thereafter the state tax will be
cents upon each 500.
There are great many sections Of
the new tax law which are not oper.
alive until 1909, but they are of
minor importance to the taxpayer.
All taxes levied under the new law
shall be paid on or before November
80 Of the year for which they are
levied, and il not paid when due in.
terest at the rate of 10 per cent Del
annum shall be added to the taxes
until paid. The law also fixes the
maxium levy for county purposes al
60 cents on each 500 of valuation.
There has been a great deal OF cor
fusion regarding the new tax laws,
owing to the fact that certain amend
ments were enacted at the last regula,
session of the legislature, and also the
fact that no authorized copy OF the
laws has vet been sent out.

To be head farmer" for a nation as
large and rural as the United States is
no small undertaking.
Some idea of the vastness of the farm
interests in the United States may be
gathered from the fact that every year
this nation exports 1887 100000 more Of
agricultural products than the total
amount imported James Wilson is the
fourth secretary of agriculture. Before
it was raised to the dignity Of cabinet

MINISTERS ARE
ALL IN FAVOR OF
SUNDAY CLOSING
Other Pastors Endorse the Action of
Rev. Kufus and Believe That City
Laws Should be Enforced and Sa-
looms Kept Closed.

AT the request OF h6V. huluS, past
or of the M, f. church of this city, a
World reporter this morning interview
ed four other pastors upon the ques-
tion of forcing the saloons to close on
Sunday.
The interviews show that the min
listers of the city are as one on the
question and that all endorse NJ. Ku-
fus' actions and favor the strict en-.
forcement of the law upon the subject.
1t seems to be the opiEion among the
clergy that the city officials have
been altogether too lax in executing
the laws relating to saloons and that
nothing of this kind will be counter.
anced by them in the future All

in the fight for law and order.
Rev. Barnum, of the Presbyterian
church, sail:
''I feel in harmony with Mr.. Ku-
fus' action on the Sunday closing ques-
tion and believe that he is doing q
good work. have no grudge against
saloon men just because they are
saloon men, but want it particularly
emphasized that am in OH the side of

ed. There is no reason why the saloon

If the city officials will not enforce the
laws, l am in favor of an organization
of citizens whose object would be to
see that the laws on the statute books
are enforced"
Rev. J. W. Tanner, of the Baptist
church:
Is it not time that our city officials
kept their caths that they took when
they were sworn into office? The city
ordinances prohibit saloons from keep
ing open and selling liquor on Sunday.
The state law prohibits them being
open or selling on Sunday. Ii these
laws are bad, repeal them; but as
long as they are laws enforce them"
