NO TAX ON PEDIGREES
OWNERS OF FLOODED STOCK PRO-
TEST AGAINST HIGH VALUA-
TIONS FOR THEIR ANIMALS.

Owners Of pedigreed stock in the
western states are joining in a protest
against high assessment Of their ami
mails for taxation. The state board Of
equalization, which is considering an
increased assessment on Dam Patch, al
ready turned in for $4,000, and on the
other horses of the NJ. W. Savage farm,
stock, who claim that pedigrees ought
not to be taxed at an. Pure bred
horses, they claim, should only be as
sessed according to their value for
work, cattle on their value for beef or
dairy purposes. ! Y<seSrr7ss a M ILL.,
In support of this position the breed
ers are circulating an editorial from the
Breeders' Gazetts of Chicago, which
says:, Il WITH. xs.s
The assessable value Of property for
taxation is the price it will bring under
sheriff's sale. This is the rule almost uni
versally accepted and followed. Levy can
be made on the animals to satisfy unpaid
taxes, but not on the pedigrees. The
owner Of pedigreed animals cannot: be
compelled to furnish a pedigree with any
of his stock that may be levied on for
sale in satisfaction of unpaid taxes. The
principles of exast justice underly the
proposition that pedigrees should not be
taxed. A man who is enterprising enough
provement Of the stock of a neighborhood
ought not to be penalized for. his enter
PRISE We know Of a number of cases
where assessors have attempted to assess
pedigrees, but concluded on examination
of all the facts and precedents that they
had better not try it. 81 %E
The facts must not be overlooked that
pedigreed beef cattle are, as a rule, worth
more intrinsically than the common stock
of the country, and should therefore take
a higher, valuation, not on account OF
their pedigrees, but because they are bet
ter beef cattle than the scrubs, The pedi-
greed draft mares of the writer used for
farm work are valued higher than the
grade mares of his neighbors, not because
they have pedigrees, but because the as
SCISSOR, a retired farmer, says they are
better mares than those maintained IN
the neighboring farms, and the justice
Of his action is cheerfully conceded.

PIGS TRIED TO
end THEIR LIVES
FOUGHT TO GET INTO THE BURN
ING CREMAToRY.
Released by Firemen Who Tore Down
Fence to Get Water, Fifty Porkers
Beheld the Flames and Got the Sui
eide Mania Plant May Be Rebuilt
Soon.

More than fifty of the finest pigs on
the Workhouse farm made a desperate
attempt to commit suicide last night
by Jumping into the fire that destroyed
the garbage crematory block away.
Only the rapid and hard work Of the
guards, who beat them back, saved the
city from heavy loss.
The recent rains have filed a large
hole in the hogyard between the work
house and the crematory and as this
was the nearest supply, the fire depart
ment took their water from it. In
order to reach the little pond the fire.
men tore down a portion of the fence.
As soon as the opening was made the
fifty pigs raced out Of the Enclosure
and made dash for the burning build
ing.
The guards took the matter as a
joke at first, thinking that the animals
We're frightened at the noise of the en-
gines, but the hogs made straight for
the fire and showed no signs Of stop
ping. At this the guards gave chase
the hogs were squealing frantically and
trying to find an opening in the walls.
Armed with the heavy workhouse
sticks the guards beat back the pigs,
but as often as the attack was aban-
doned the Infatuated porkers would
again dash for the flames with renewed
vigor.
Not until the plant had been de-
stroyed did the animals, yield. AS soon
as there was no light, they seemed
Quoted and were easily driven back
to their pens. This morning two mem
bers of the suicide party were found
dead in the pens, and it is thought that
they died Of exhaustion. The others
however, were not 50 lucky and at
breakfast time this morning they were
unusually healthy and hoggish.
| The guards and others are unable tc
account for the strange effect Of the
light on the pigs, altho it is nothing
uncommon in the ease of horses.
