"J OAPOWWAVu W duuulIf-
lister any oath required by the
Law to be taken by any person
In connection with the assess
ment of property, and in case
the deputy assessor shall know
lngly and wilfully fail to require
every person of full age and
sound mind in his taxing dis
ulci, whetner owning prOpyriy
or not, to take and subscribe to
the oath herein provided for, for
each such failure the said depu-
ty assessor, upon conviction
thereof in a court of competent
jurisdiction, shall be fined in
any sum not less than ten nor
more than twenty dollars.
The Interpretation placed up
on this section by the Tax Com
mission is that every person
of sound mind and of lawful
age, male or female, shall Lie
personally approached by the
deputy assessor for the purpose
OF ascertaining whether any
such person has taxable proper
ty which should be listed. 1t
is the opinion of the COmmisS-
! ion that a. personal-property stats
ment need not be required In
cases where it shall be devel-
oped that a person has no prop
erty whatever upon which tax
es should be paid, but that to
determine such question, the as
SCISSOR should at the commence
ment of the interview with such
taxpayer administer the oath
suggested in tn instructions re-
Gently issued-page lin IA
ton to answering all quest OILS
which maybe propounded touch
ing the ownership of listable
property. If, in response to the
questions asked after such oath
is administered, the deputy as
SCISSOR shall be satisfied that
such a person has no prop
erty, then a statement need not
be taken, but the deputy aSSSS-
or should make a record to the
eeffect that such person was seen
sworn. and satisfied him that
there was no property for assess
ment. In all cases where the
ownership of property Is devel-
oped as the result off the ques-
tions, then a persOnal-property
statement should be taken in the
regular manner, ev en- although
the amount of property should
not exceed the constitutional ex-
emption allowable to any such
person. Such statements are need
ed for statistical purposes, II
for no other purpose, for In no
other way can it be determined
how much personal property
there is in the state neither can
lit be determined otherwise how
much property is claimed to be
exempt under the law; and turtf
er. the statement is needed as
a record of the taxpayers con,
dition as to the ownership OF
property according to his own
disclosure, to be rebutted later,
lif necessary by other testimony

.CHIVALRY. AFTER ALL,
IS ONLY A HABIT
Are Polite Because We Are
AutOmdtOnS.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-If women here
tofore have supposed that their smiles
touched the hearts of men, let them
understand from Prof. George Vincent.
of the University of Chicago, that it
touches only a button over the heart
and results in all sorts of chivalric
reactions, such as lifting ones hat or
opening a car door.
In a speech before the Cook County
Teachers Association he set forth this
and other principles on which the hu-
man automaton acts. Not sentiment.
but habit not intellectuality, but cor
relation of mental process govern our
lives.
Our lives to certain extent" he
said, are the lives of automata. All
we have to do is to push the right but
ton at the right time and the right
thing is done. The well-bred person
never gives any attention to his gram
mar or his etiquette"
And this is as it should be, in the
opinion of DR.. Vincent, but with Iimi-
tations
The danger of this system of ma
ture is that we are likely to become
automatic altogether .
He said: Il used to go to see Castle
man, the automation. He wore a hat
and had cigar in his mouth, and
there was door in his back, where
the coal was shoveled in There was
also place where you started the
machinery going, and off he went I'M
til the machinery ran down or was
stopped. One day nobody stopped
him, and he walked into the wall and
stuck his hat brim into the wall and
his legs kept on moving.
There are lot of people in this
world who are just like this automa-
ton, and get along well enough so
long as there is nothing to hinder the
working of their machinery"
The moral to the story was to ex-
ercise your intellect and reach out
beyond the merely automatic perform
ances of the brain, and to teach the
young people to do likewise
Don't teach history as my teacher
did. by making us believe that it was
not our business to ask questions, bur
to recite," the professor said. History
was given us in homeopathic doses,
and we were supposed to take it and
put it down and not let our curiosity
become too active. Teach rather as my
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-10-17
