Be Just to the Railroad.

The Carroll county Grand Jury for the Western district took a shot at the violators of the law last week. Indeed, it took a number of shots and after the smoke had cleared away, it was found that out of 187 shots fired the Mossouri and North Arkansas railroad company has been hit 1S0 times. What became of the remaining seven shots is not re- ported, but it is possible that out of the number some real offender has been indicted.
 It might be interesting to know whether those railroad indict- ments were the outgrowth of a public demand on the part of the people represented by this Grand Jury or were originated on the part of some over -zealous official represented by himself, and to know whether the act was prompted by patriotism or a common -place desire to further personal interests. Perhaps the last suggestion is unjust, but aspiring politicians have been known to make grandstand plays for the purpose of provoking ap- plause.
 By whomsoever done or for whatever motive, the situation presents rather serious aspect and is one that is deserving of thoughtful consideration on the part of our sober citizenship.
 The railroad company has failed of keeping it's right-of- way fenced in order, a technical violation of a law the justness of which is questionable. Accord ing to the indictments, if the company is found guilty, it must pay an enormous amount, unless the state should magnan- imously waive her right by a compromise that will satisfy her claim and pay her attorneys his fees. In such event may we expect that as liberal a reduction will be made in the item of fees as there is in the matter of pen alty?
 Stripped of it's technicalities, the Western district Grand Jury has unwittingly allowed some one with ''an ax" to make a display (political and pocketaD and few individuals with prehaps real grievances, wishing to "get even"with the railroad, to make an attack on the road to an extent altogether unnecessary and to the substantial injury of the railroad, to say nothing of the injustice done.

 "There is not a single city of the state, so far as we have been able to find, 8 public ser- vice corporation paying taxes on valuation of 20 per cent of it's capital stock and bonds. Some are paying on less than 10 per cent of the aggregate value of stocks and bonds outstanding.
 TO VISIT THE BOARDS.
 "We could continue indefinite ly to give instances of the gross inequalities resulting from the slip p-shod methods that have heretofore obtained. We have cited the cases above simply to impress upon you the importanc e of the work. The commission does not believe that any honest man desires the present con- ditions to continue, and invites all honest men to assist in cor recting existing abuses.
 "It is our purpose to secure as much data as possible between now and the time when the county boards meet and to sub- init same to you with the view of using it to adjust assessments. It is our intention also to arrange for one of the commissioners to to visit every county in the state |, if possible, and advise with the Country Board of Equalization in it's work. If this is done it will be necessary for the board in many of the counties to ad- journ over to a day when 8 mem- Der of the commission can reach the county. Of this, however, you will be advised later.
 "So far as the Investigations of the commission have extended we believe a majority of the as- sessors have tried to fix the as- sessment upon a 50 per cent valuation of the property assess- ed, and it is probable the com- mission will have to fix this bases for purposes of equali- zation. This we will gladly do if it is found to produce a suffi- cient amount of revenue to meet the present demands.
 "The commission does not expect to accomplish everything that ought to be accomplished this year or next year, but with your assistance and that of the other officers of your county we hope to make progress along the lines herein indicated, It is believed that in some counties the assessor has left much for the Board of Equaliz ation to do. The commission trusts that the several boards, realizing the im- portance of the work, will give it all the time necessary

MjId Laxative
 for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether 1t grows tip healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weddings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still in greatest control.
 The prime cause of trouble is in the stomach. A baby that is digesting it's food seldom cries and always looks cheer fui; the little child whose stomach is good romps and plays and never whines; the growing child learns well at school and IS eager for fun if its head is clear and it's stomach light and that means 1T It mas no constipation.
 The best and safest way to cure any irregularity of the stomach and bowels in children is by the use of Dr. Caldwells s wonderful in it's effect as Mrs; John ". Durham, Apple Creek, O., Mrs. II. l.. | Cullan, Plainville, Ind, and numerous others can testify who give 1t to their children with extraordinary results
 A bottle only costs 50 cents or $l ac- cortling to the size you want, and even ore 50-cent bottle will do wonderful amount of good in family It can pc given. to any member of the family Tn torpid liver, dyspepsia, heartburn, sick headache and similar digestive troubles. It never gripes or strangleS nke phis, l tablets salts and powders, which should not be given to children, women or old folks.
 If you have 8 child or other member of the family who needs, but has never used this grand laxative tonic, send your name and address to the doctor and free trlal bottle will be sent to your home. In this way you can find out what 1t will do without personal expense.

books and to have this property all assessed on the same basis. The commission is of the opinion that the majority of the asses- sors have tried to fix the assess- ment upon a 50 per cent val uation, and the commission may do the same for purposes of equalization. It will do this cer- tainly if it will produce sufficient revenues to meet the demands.
 THE CIRCULAR LETTER.
 The letter throws much light on the much discussed tax question, and is as follows:
 "Sir-The tax commission de- sires your cooperation in the work it has undertaken, and tc the end that it may secure same submits this statement:
 "The law creating the com : mission has but one object-the just and equit able enforcement of the revenu laws of the state As ths comm mission understands it's duties as defined by the law direct it along but one road with but one end-uniformity in tax ation as near as human agencies can accomplish same. To bring that result, it is the purpo se of the commission to uss all the machinery provided by all the laws of the land.
 ''First. To have all property in the state subject to taxation put upon the tax book; and
 "Second. To see that all valu- ations are capitalized, to the end that the property of every man shall bear it's just share of the burdens of taxation.
 "The tax commission law makes nothing taxable that was not al- ready taxable; it provides no new method of ascertaining values; it simply creates com- mission and imposes rpon it the the duty of seeing that existing laws are uniformly enforced.
 ''No direct method is provided whereby this commission can have property not on the tax books placed thereon, or where by it can equalize values as be- tween individuals. The only direct route for equalization as between individuals is through the County Board of Equali- . zation. Setting as a State Board of Equalization next November, we will have power simply to equalize as between taxing dis tricts, counties, cities and towns by raising or reducing 8 given aggregate valuation of all the real property or of one or more classes of personal property in given county or district.
 INCONSISTENCIES FOUND.
 "The work of assessing the railroads has prevented the com- mission from making extensive investigation in the several counties with the view of ascer- taining true conditions. The in- vestigations made, however, have developed the existence of situation as relates to assessments for previous years that is simply absurd.
 'In one county the record of conveyances shows that, taking 27 tracts of land at random, the aggregate assessed valuation amounted to just 30 per cent of the aggregate selling price. The assessed valuation ranged all the way from 10 to 200 cents of the selling price.
 ''In another county the lands in the country districts are as- sessed on basis of from 40 to 60 per cent of their real value, and those in the city on a basis of less than 20 per cent.
 "In one town the banks have been assessed on basis of 20 per cent of their total capital stock and surplus; in another
