REDUCING THE TAX RATE.

When the property valuation is
completed by the commission ap-
pointed by the general council and
an attempt is made to fix the quad
rennial assessment next year on the
basis of the commissions figures, a
roar will go up from Paducah that
will be heard at the Metropolis ap-
proach to the Burlington bridge;
but a certain class of small property
Owners. are becoming nervous, who
have no reason for apprehension.
They have been paying the maximum
rate OF taxation on a fair valuation
OF their property, and they will not
be raised TO any considerable extent.
The raises are going to be felt,
from all indications, by landlords of
cheap tenement property and owners
of property whose values have in
creased during the last dozen years
from 500 a front foot to $500 and
81 900. Yet, they will not be hurt
by the increase, IL wisdom is shown
in the selection of the right men for
the general council: Cor with an in
creased property assessment il will
be possible to effect a gradual redue-
tion of the tax rate, without dimin-
ishing the city's revenues, and,
while those, whose assessment will
be materially increased will not ind
their taxes appreeiably higher. those,
who are now paying the maximum
on a fair valuation, will have their
taxes materially reduced.
II there is one class Of people
who should be favored above all 9TH
ers in a city. it is the thrifty cottage
home owners; the men, who acquire
property by strict economy and
good habits. They make the town
and the absence OF them unmake the
town: their presence does more "a
stimulate and keep active the real
estate market and maintain real es-
tate values, than any other element in
a community; their character and cit
izenship, their charity and their fam
lily virtues are the best in every COM
munity, in which they are numer-
Iically strong. public policy, which
encourages the ownership Of homes,
does more for the upbuilding OF a
town than any other policy; and
any means adopted to relieve them
OF the burden of taxation, without
impairing the efficiency OF municipal
government, is desirable.
People. who own their homes in a
town are permanent residents, per-
sonally interested in everything that
affects the welfare OF the city. Own
ers of business property, who shift
the burden OF taxation on these peo-
pie are injuring themselves and their
own property. by reducing this class
to a minimum numerically, and com
polling them to pay in taxes. what
they might be spending in trade
It is not the sporty population.
but the home owning, home making,
home loving people. always able to
work at their full capacity as wealth
producers. who pay cash for the best
the market offords. that make a town
substantially and permanently pros
porous.

Severed Arteries MAY Re Retained.

Chicago. June 9-Dr Victor ID.
Lespinasse. Of the Northwestern uni
versity medical school. told an alum
nj audience OF physicians that he had
discovered a surgical secret which
may do much to save life and modl-
~ suffering In a broad sense he
said that It Is a successful method
OF reunlting blood vessels and ar
teries aud battling artorial diseases
To prove that his claims were not
merely In theory the doctor caused
several dogs TO be brought forth for
inspection. Each was cited as an
example OF a peculiar operation. The
llvers had been removed and reunlt-
ed to some OF the dogs Legs had
been cut on and grated to others.
The secret, DIR. Lesplnasse ex-
planned. consisted In his successful
reuniting OF several arteries.
