Honest. Assessment Leagues.

The time Is ripe for the organization of
Honest Assessment Leagues" Any
one who will take the trouble to ex.
anime the list of tax payers in any
school district will find property, es.
pecially notes and money, listed entire
ly too low. A committee Of nine-three
from each school board, city council
and commercial club at Aurora, NO.,
has been appointed to assist the assessor
in locating unassessed notes, bonds and
money. No one need be surprised II
this committee finds ten times as much
of such property as has been listed. Let
local leagues be formed and then a state
league composed of delegates represent.
ing local leagues.
In the interest of better school, it
seems absolutely necessary to increase
the amount of assessed valuation of
many school districts. The State Super
intendent was recently called into con.
sultation to devise means of securing a
better and suitable school building for a
small town. After thorough investiga.
ton. it was found that the constitutional
limitation prevented their voting bonds,
because the corporation was already
bonded to the limit. If all the property
of that district were assessed, and at half
its actual value, the district would have
twice as large an assessed valuation, and
could, under the constitution, vote $40,
900 in bonds necessary 10 erect a suitable
school building. 1t could also at the
usual rate of levy for school purposes,
maintain a longer term, employ better
teachers and pay better salaries.
In considering the rate of assessment
on real and personal property, it should
not be forgotten that real estate is tang
iblc and ii is all listed, while much per
sonal property escapes assessment alto
gcther. For this reason assessors incline
to list notes and money at real value,
land at about one-third of its actual
value and property more fluctuating in
value at still smaller rate.
Why not through Honest Assess.
ment Leagues" make sentiment in favot
Of listing all property at its actual earn.
ing capacity value and then assess it all
at a level discount Of forty or fifty pei
cent? The people have long enough let
great irregularities exist and the proper.
ty of many wealthy men escape taxation.
Why not correct it now?

out.
When work was resumed at the docks

appointed. for a general strike was de-
clared affecting all companies where
freight handlers are employed. In con
sequence a heavy detail Of police was

ted along the docks. Some of the strfk-
ers resisted and the police made a

and began to use their clubs To this
the strikers responded. throwing stones.
The police, however. succeeded in clear
ing the docks. So far as could be learn
ed no one was seriously injured.

that he was satisfied that the packers

of federal inspection from the different
cities of the country" said the secre-
tary- They report that conditions are
improving everywhere I told them
that inspection under the new law will
be established Immediately in those
houses where the sanitary conditions
which affect the food product justify
it. I also told them that no inspection
will be given to establishments where
the sanitary conditions which affect
the food product are not perfect.
Practically all of the slaughtering
and packing establishments in Chicago
are on the way to sanitary conditions
which will justify inspection under the
new law. In some cases improveme nts
of a permanent character will take
place but where want of the projected
changes does not involve the healthful-
ness of the product the new inspection
will be inaugurated without waiting
for their completion. am satisfied
that the packers of Chicago are using
every effort to put their plants in sani-
tary shape. The department will be

expect the Chicago plants to be ready
at that time Those that are ready will
get the inspection; others can not ex-
pect it -
