SALOON TAXES.
Madison County Saloon Men VIII Not
Be Assessed on Occupation Taxes.

Saloon keepers in Madison county
will not be required to pay taxes on
the Occupation tax" which they have
already paid into the city and village
treasures. Saloon men have taken
the position that the occupation tax
levied against them is "tax" pure
and simple and that to list the face
value of the occupation tax as assess
able property is to force the saloon
men to pay tax on a tax" The
county board of equalization meeting
in Madison Thursday took the same
view of the matter and ordered the
saloon occupation tax stricken from
the assessors books as assessable
property,
Saloons in the county, however, will

One of the most enjoyable events of
the week was the little speech made
at the Junction depot Tuesday after
noon by Secretary of War William
Howard Taft. Secretary Taft's ad-
dress was in fact, one of the most
charming orations ever listened to by
Norfolk womankind. 1t was more than
a political speech. 1t was a profound
appreciation of what real good looks
are. The secretary said the women of
Norfolk had the handsomest, happiest,
healthiest, and so forthest faces that
he had ever laid eyes on, and it's no
wonder he made a hit. The secretary
is considered quite ladies' man any
way, they say.
