Cities all over the union will follow
the example of New York in making
war upon the house fly. The best way
to deal with the pest is to keep him
out with screens guarding windows
and doors. However, there are times
when he will get in. A poison for Mr.
Fly that is said to be not dangerous to
human beings is made with bichromate
of potassium. A seven per cent. solu-
tion OF this chemical mixed in water
and sweetened with sugar may be
placed in shallow dishes throughout

Iowa has followed New York with .
law against immoral theatrical per
formances. The outbreak of the "Sa-
lone" craze has aroused public opin-
ion, apparently, to the extent of de-
manding legislative interference. AS
American public opinion is. in the
main, a healthy growth, the late food
of pruriency on the stage has brought
about its own correction.

Modern Structures Erected During Last Three
Years Are Valued at $24,OOO,OOO

"a striking fact to be noted Is that
the assessment of buildings is now
greater than at any time in our city's
history" says Assessor Washington
Dodge. IN his annual report to the board
of supervisors. which will be presented
Tuesday. He continues:
sThese Cthe buIIdings) are now as
sessed at s1I4,OOO,OOO, whereas the
greatest previous assessment was that
of the year prior to the fire, which
was S97 100000. This increase is due
TO the fact that a great number of
modern and costly buildings have
been erected on sites which were
formerly occupied by old and obsO-
lete business structures.
THE total assessment ROLL says
Dodge. is s4s2.32s.oOo. gain of sSs.
100000 over that of last year This
roll is sufficiently large to give a safe
margin, namely, about 21k per cent,
above the amount upon which reve-
nues were estimated. TO provide for
all possible delinquencies. OF this gain
The San Francisco call., 1909-07-04

approximately s24,Ooo.OOO is due to the
erection of new buildings"
Upon the total assessment roll of
over sis2. 900 900 the tax rate of s1.sO
will furnish revenue amounting to
$7.S77.264 or. allowing for the widest
possible delinquencies, $1,000, 900.
Dodge concludes his report with the
items of personal taxation. He says:
The tax collections made by this
Office during the last so days on un-
secured personal property are the larg-
est in our city's history. amounting
to s7s1.3S0. This is an increase over
the collections on personal property
taxes made by this Office last year of
$11s.622.
The collections of the state poll
tax also show a material increase.
The amount collected to date is $4,000
as against collections of SIS 900 at this
date in 1908. This increase in collec-
tions represents a gain to the credit
of our city's school funds, and to the
city, of $4,000"

BANKERS LIST
THEIR WEALTH
FOR TAXATION
Other Prominent Citizens Leave
Assessor to Guess Value of
Personal Property
Dodge Sends Arbitrary Assess
ment Roll to Supervisors for
Final Review

The bond holders and bankers who
formerly made no report of their per-
sonal property have seen fit this year
to apprise Assessor Washington
Dodge of the value of their posses
sions. A few years ago when Daniel
Meyer and some other inanciers failed
to report their personal holdings.
Dodge hit on the expedient of raising
the arbitrary valuation $250,0o0 each
year. This was done for two or three
years. at the end of which time Meyer
and his colleagues capitulated, and, as
this year, gave the office a report.
Dodge sent the arbitrary assess
ment roll to the board of supervisors
yesterday and in the next two weeks
the supervisors will review it as a
board of equalization. The real es-
tate valuations of the assessor, they
may reduce or advance, as they may
determine, upon IL hours notice, but
the arbitrary assessments they may
only increase. A large number of per-
sons arbitrarily assessed have since
called at the assessors office and paid
the amounts due. precluding any pos
siblity of the board increasing the
estimate.
Many we'll known citizens have been
too busy with their usual undertake
ings to give the time necessary to
end the assessor a frank confession
of their invisible possessions, and a
number of property holders, reputed
wealthy, have omitted that duty. per
haps, in the expectation that the as
SCISSORS decree would be a light one
Following are some of the prominent
citizens who have allowed the assessor
to name the amount of their personal
holdings:
