10 ASSESS 1T THE CASH
XLUk.

Topeka, Feb. l2.-keai estate
| in Kansas will be assessed at its
actual value in money hereafter,
according to the instructions IS
sued today by the state tax COM
mission to- the county assessors,
who will begin making assess
ments the first of March. How
this value Is to be obtained is ex-
planned by the commission as fol-
lows:
The kind of value thus stated
| is held by the commission to be
such value ~ n subject of sale
would bring In money under or
binary circumstances, when q
person wished to buy the subject
of sale without any particular
need of it, and on the other hand
when the owner wanted to sell,
but was not obliged to do so. 1t
is believed that an exchange OF
property under the terms OF this
definition would be the best ex-
ample of an actual value in
money" transaction, as both buy
Ter and seller would be free from
coercion, and there would be no
over or under valuation caused
BY circumstances not pertaining
to the subjects of exchange.
The commission admits that it
is hard to get at this actual val
ue on account of the disparity in
assessments in the past, owing to
the loose methods in assessments.
and it maintains that there can
be no uniformity Of assessment
upon a percentage of actual val
ue. Therefore in order to get at
the actual cash value Of real
property the commission has in
structed the assessors to consider
the following facts:
The earning values, the local
rental values, asking prices offer
ed, adoption to particular uses,
more favorable conditions arising
through the growth of cities, and
better facilities for marketing af-
forded by new or improved trans
portation.
The most weighty of these are
price as evidenced by deed con-
siderations, rental values and
earning value. Price is to be de-
termined not from the considers
ton named, in deeds, so much as
by the facts surrounding each
transaction. Speculative prices
are not true measures of the actu-
al value in money of real estate.
Exceptional sales when consid-
Grafton abnormally large has been
paid for real estate are no more a
guide as to the actual value in
money of real estate than are
sales where the considerations ac-
tually paid is grossly inadequate.
A relation exists between the
rental value and the actual value
in money, and when there is
marked disparity between rental
value treated as the income and

EVIDENCE NOT SUFFICIENT.
Man Suspected of Stealing S1s3,000
From the United States Set
Free by Court.

CHICAGO. Sept. George W.
Fitzgerald. accused Dy the state au-
thorities of the theft of $173. 900
from the United States sub-treasury
here. was freed by Judge Chetlain
today. United States Sub-treasurer
Baldenwreck, acting on instructions
not to disclose evidence gathered by
the federal authorities. took the stand
and refused to testify. Judge Chet-
lain thereupon dismissed the case.
When the sensational theft was
discovered Fitzgerald was suspected
by the federal authorities, Int they
ultimately dropped that lead for lack
of discriminating evidence. A private
detective later worked on the case
for Mr.. Baldenwreck personally, and
secured alleged evidence on which
Fitzgerald was arrested recently on
state warrant.
At the United States district attor-
ney's Office it was asserted that the
evidence was insufficient to convict
This was followed yesterday by in
structions that federal employees
should not testify Without this evi-
dence it was impossible to show the
basic fact that a crime had been COM
mitted. No further court action is
contemplated

The petitions from sthe new pre-
cincts were presented by w. j. Nc
Kinley and Harry Bourcy. That ask
ing the establishment of a district to
include Kimberly, Veteran and Cum
berland Ely bore the signatures of
50 voters of the district asked segre-
gated. The petition further asked
that w. j. Mckinley be appointed
registry agent. The other bore the
signatures of SO voters. residents of
the district asked to be established,
and asked that the new district in
clude Ruth. Star Pointer. Copper
Flat, and the workings of the Cop
permines Co. The name of the dis
trict was to he Ruth and the regis
tration officer Walter A. Perkins.
Immediately upon the presentation
of the petitions. George f. Parker
of Cherry Greek stated that he was
not aware of the local conditions
which might demand the establish
ment of the precinct and would there
fore leave the matter entirely TO his
associates. Chairman A. l.. Parker
called upon Ira j. Mcknight for his
opinion Mr.. Mcknight expressed
himself as being bitterly opposed to
the proposition, declaring the new
districts not needed in the least: that
he did not believe there were men
enough resident there to warrant the
establishment of the new precincts;
that the office of registration is with
in a half mile of any portion of the
district. He further stated that. the
establishment of the precincts would
prove too expensive luxury for the
county to be able to afford. Mr.. Me-
knight also characterized the pre-
cincts as private polling places. T"
saying that it was better to have one
public than two private places for
registration and holding elections.
Mr.. Bourcy during the course of
Mr.. Meningitis talk stated that to
his certain knowledge there were be-
tween 800 and 400 voters in the two
districts and he offered to take the
commissioners up at his own expense
to prove that he had not misrepre-
sented the situation Mr.. Mckinley
stated that there are many of the
voters living in Kimberly ard at Vet
eran who will not go to Riepetown to
register because of the tough reputa-
tion of the town. He stated that
Kimberly has a separate school dis
! trict. separate postoffice and Is i'm
