And the morning was laden with
rain;
A little boy knelt at the easement
With his nose flattened out on the

The drops trickled down on the win

And the tears on his cheeks ran a
race;
On, he was so sad The day was so
bad,
That somehow il showed ON his face.

Afraid, and the little white kitten

And the little tin soldiers were stand

For the little boy knew of nothing

But knecl at the window and moan.

The increase in assessments is not,
Of course, based on any improvements
that the railroads have made duri 1g
the year, for these improvements have
not, by any means, been commensur-
ate with the taxation, but is due to
an effort to bring assessments up to
the 100 per cent basis. As a result,
the railroads will pay taxes on a
higher basis than any other corpor-
ations or individuals, since in many
counties real estate and other proper
ty Is assessed at less than sixty per
cent. However, this is the year for
