"Moonshiners." heroes of song and

exterminated as a cless. The death
knell of the once prosperous but Illicit
business of making .'mountain dew"
has been sounded by public opinion
according to David A. Gates. Chief of
the Internal Revenue Agents of the
Treasury Department. Today through
out the entire moonshining district of
the Southern States there are not 10

opinion so clearly written within the

There is another side to this unusual

United States were those who fomented
the whisky rebellion in Western Penn
sylvania in the first Administration of
President Washington. This rebellion
was broken only after the use of feder-

Within the last five years the pro-
hibition question has been one OF the
most vital issues in Southern pouucs.
1t is admitted by Southern politicians
that the negro question is at the Dot
tom of the prohibition question, the
theory being that the criminal class
among the negro race as a whole is
a practically uncomfortable element
where whisky is permitted.
Whisky was the issue in the election

APPEAL TO HOCH.
Governor Asked to Appoint Delegates
to st. Louis Meeting.

Governor Hoch has received from
Charles F. Ziebold, president of the
West End Business Mems association
of st. Louis. request to appoint dele
gates to a conference" to be held for
the purpose of talking over the con-
f1ict between federal and state au-
thority.
1t is a similar request that has just
been turned down by Governor L.
Sheldon of Nebraska, on the ground
that the whole thing is a plot of the
corporations, and. that the convention
will be turned into a meeting for the
purpose of protecting corporate in
terests.
What Governor Hoch will do with
the request has not been decided.
Mr.. Ziebold has sent the governor a
lot of resolutions passed by the West
End Business Mems association, in
which it is set forth that the North
Carolina conflict has shown that the
issue between state and federal au-
somebody must surrender. The letter
from Mr.. Zfebold says in part:
"By request of our association I beg
leave to hand you herewith copy of
resolution adopted by it, which reso-
luton explains itself. I might add
is not to find fault with the United
States and state constitutions, but to
provide a way for solving the broader
question of the relative superiority of
usefulness and advantage of stronger
central government or less restricted
exercise of state rights, as to interstate
and kindred matters. under existing
conditions, and to bring about greater
harmony in the exercise of federal and
state authority over such matters I'M
der our dual system of government.
And while we believe our public Off
Gals are. with few exceptions, men of
dependable honor and integrity, we
also believe that their views on these
broader questions are of necessity
somewhat biased in favor of their re-
spective partisan party allegiance"

CORN FIFTEEN FEET TALL.
T. t. Wright Shows Some Remarkable
Samples.

T. T. Wright. farmer living half a
mile south of the reform school,
claims that he has the prize winning
field of corn in the state and to sub
stantiate his claim brought seven
stalks of corn to the State Journal Of
flee this morning. The tallest stalk is
fourteen feet and nine inches in height
and the others about as tall.
The first ear on the longest stalk was
nine feet six inches from the ground
and could not have been gathered
without the assistance of a step-ladder
or something of the kind. The field
which is a small one was planted the
18th of May, and the corn is of the
white variety though no particular at
tention was paid to the selection of
the seed. The field where the corn
was raised which the owner thinks will
yield 100 bushels to the acre is located
in the lowlands where the water was
five feet in depth during the flood of
1903.

HOWE LOOKS 1T UP.
Making a Study of Valuations in
Shawnee.

Samuel T Howe, of the state tax
commission, is making an inves1ga-
ton of the assessed valuations of the
various real estate properties in Shaw
nee county. Similar Investigations will
be made by the commission in other
counties of the state for the purpose
of familiarizing the commissioners
with the rate of property assessment
throughout the state Beginning next
year all the property in the state will
be assessed at its real value under the
terms of the new assessment and tax
alton law and the state tax commits
sioners are preparing to see that such
an assessment Is made
In the course of his investigation so
far Mr. Howe has made some rather
remarkable discoveries as to how real
estate has been assessed in Shawnee
county for the purposes of taxation.
He is making up list of properties
indiscriminately from the books in the
county clerks office, looking up the
sale price on this property on the last
transfer recorded in the office of the
register of deeds. and then finding out
what the property has been assessed
at for the purposes of taxation.
=. One of his discoveries was that=a
farm was purchased near Menoken
last summer for $4,000. The same
farm was reported by the assessor as
being worth 80. 500. This leaves a
difference of $4,000 between the as
its selling price.
AS Mr.. Howe's Investigation pro-
crosses he is finding that the property
in the county instead of being as
sessed at forty or fifty per cent of its
value as II has been stated that 1t was,
II is only assessed at about twenty per
cent of it's value. In some cases it is
even lower than this. This condition
of affairs seem to maintain in the
urban well as rural districts.
Both the state and county officials
feel that the assessment next year will
be made according to the real worth of
the property. as a penalty is provided
for the assessor who does not report the
property at it's full value. Besides this,
the state tax commission will pass on
the reports of the assessors and if the
commissioners think the assessment, is
not high enough they will raise it.
Samples of the blank forms to be used
by the assessors next year have been
sent to the various county clerks and
the assessing will cease to be the easy
Job 1t has formerly been. The forms are
four times as voluminous as the old
ones and viii require considerable skill in
filling them out
With the property assessed at its full
value the aggregate burden of taxes 20

larger than now. In fact the tax rates
themselves will be lower than they are
now for there will be the greatly in
creased valuation Of property to levy
them on to raise such money as is need
ed for the conduct of the affairs of state.
the counties and the cities. But with all
property assessed at its full value it
will mean that each property holder will
bear his just burden of the taxes to be
raised and that is a condition of affairs
which does not now obtain.
