The Tax Question.

THE Herald and News observes
that Mr.. A. w. Jones, comptroller
general, is advocating a plan by
which property could be assessed 1or
taxation at it's actual value and by
which it could be more equltably val
ned as among the counties. That is
he favors some legislation which Will
accomplish that result. Those per-
sons in Newberry county who recall
anything of the campaign in this coun-
Nv last summer and in 1902 will re-
call that the editor Of this paper ad-
vocated the same thing and when IN
the LEGISLATURE we introduced and en-
deavored to pass bill which had this
purpose in view, but it was a very dill
cult proposition. We agree with MI.
Tones that the property in this state
is much nearer worth 5000, 100000 than
its present assessment 81. S2Io,ooo,ooo.
Some law should be passed to remedy
this evil. The constitution says all
property should be assessed at its &C
tual value and every man when he re-
turns 1his property for taxation makes
affidavit that he has put it at its ac-
tual valuation, but he really means
about 40 to 60 per cent of its actual
value.
The state board and the railroad
board of assessors when they come TO
take up the assessment OF ra1lroad'
hank and factory property assess it at
about 90 per cent. of its value. why
{ should they do this? Because 1t seems
Ito be generally understood that every
body else does It. T.
One of the results of our advocacy
,ef the plan to have property assessed
at its actual value was that the people
ont US down as high tax advocate
and sent low tax advocates to the leg
.sssiisiat1tre with the result that taxes are
higher today than they were before.
SIT is difficult to get the people to u11-
z derstand the. difference between the
levy and the valuation: The average
legislator spends more time trying to
get something he thinks will be pop
xular and reelect him than he does IN
trying to do that which is best for the
people and equitable among all the
people when it comes. to the matter
]. of taxation. And yet if we could get
the valuation increased we could then
reduce the levy.
It is big and an important question
and there is more room for reform in
4 it than anything before the people OF
this state today, reform which will
benefit the people.

There bubbles the shady spring below.
With its bulrush brook where the hazels

And watched the minnows poise and shoot
And heard the robin lave his wing

Il am glad YOU noticed that. for It Is

that we have made.
I'VE made these experiments In a
gauze tent and their object was 70 as
certain the effect on mosquitoes OF col
ors.
I'VE placed in the tent boxes lined
with cloth OF different hues, and we
found that the little pests crowded
frantically into the dark blue box.
while the yellow box they would not
under any circumstances enter.

eral weeks We had In the tent stone

We discovered that next TO the dark
blue the mosquitoes sought the dark
red box After the dark red came
brown, then scarlet. then black. then
slate gray. then olive green, then violet.
then pearl gray. then white.
Thus we proved that mosquitoes no
tice colorss and we formulated two
helpful hints for the inhabitants Of
mosquito ridden districts.
The FIRST hint is 10 wear yellow TO
escape mosquito bites and 20 use yellow
netting for bed canopies and window
screens.
The second hint Is to use a blue
