Property ought not be assessed
at 90 per cent Of its real value in
one county, at 80 per cent IN
another and at 60 in another but
on the same basis in every county
and in every city-in proportion
to its value, as the constitution
provides. Governor HadIey
holds that all assessment should
be upon the real value OF the land
or things possessed by lhe tax
payers, not upon an arbitrary
value. Tangible property, easily
valued, cannot well escape tax
alton, while instangible property,
such as money and It's substitute
es, may b e secreled or other
wise handled so as 90 escape
taxation. This weakness, like
other defects in the laws govern
ing taxation, should be corrected.
The Republican idea is that every
taxpayer should have a fair deal
with the assessor aud the tax
collector, without fayoritism and
without the evils that may fol
low from the ignorance, pre-
judice or insmciency of an
assessor.

LIVE THE IDEAL.

One Trouble Is that Man nevotes Too
Much Thought TO Material Things.
Whatever the soul IS taught to ex-
pect that It will build"
Our heart longings. our soul aspirations,
are something more than mere vaporings
OF the Imagination, says Orison c-ett
Marden. IN Success Magazine. They are
prophecies. they are couriers. forerunners
Of things which might become realities.
They are measures Of our possibilities.
They indicate the height Of our aim, the
range Of our efficiency.
The sculptor knows that his ideal is not
mere fantasy Of his imagination. but
that it is a prophecy. a foreshadowing
which will carve itself In marble real. .
When We begin 10 desire a thing. to
yearn for It with all our hearts, we begin
to establish relationship with it in pro-
portion to the strength and persistency
Of our longing and intelligent effort to
realize IT,
The trouble with US is that we live too
much In the material side OF life. and
not enough in the ideal We should learn
20 live mentally in the ideal which we
wish to make real II we wish to keep
young. for example, we should live in the
mental state OF youth; 10 be beautiful.
we should live in a mental state OF
beauty.
The advantage Of living in the ideal is
that all imperfections. physical. mental.
and moral. are eliminated. We cannot
see old age because old age is incom-
pleteness. decreptftude. and these quail
tiles can not exist in the ideal.
In the ideal everything is youthful ana
beautiful; there is no suggestion of de-
cay, OF ugliness. The habit OF living in
the ideal. therefore helps US wonderful
~ because it gives a perpetual pattern

DANGER PLACES IN A STORM

From T. P.S Weekly.
What Is the safest place in thunder
storm? As a rule the safest place OF all
is inside a building which is provided
with perfect lightning conductor. The
conductor. however. must have no de-
fects. II It be broken or have a faulty
earth connection it is then a source OF
grave danger.
In an ordinary dwelling house unguarded
as II usually is against lightning. a place
safe is in the middle Of the largest room,
where one is away from the walls. or a
still safer pEecauuon is to lie on an iron
bed drawn out from contact with the
wall.
The most dangerous places in the
house. we are further told. are near the
bell wires, or an open window. or the
fireplace. Outside the house the places
Of danger are proximity 70 walls and
