Of the stomach. but they seem to coax
the liver into activity by removing from
the lower bowel in an antiseptfc way
all the effete matter, making it clean

to take Paw Paw Pill every night.
They are in no sense a purgative. but
have the power of stimulating the bowels
into natural performance of their func-
tons. People who eat hearty dinners or

great blessing. In order that every one

popular thing in the world. The sup

controlled by a fair but capricious

is practically unlimited so long as

/ exceed it's cost of reproduction. The
value of land on the other hand is
a monopoly or scarcity value. 1t de-
Ponds upon the supply and the de-
mand. The supply can not be in
creased and the demand is therefore
the changing factor. If one has to
consider the value of watch or BIZ
\ cycle he is aided BY knowledge that it
can ee reproduced for a certain sum /:
but to ascertain the value Of land is
confined to the inquiry as to what
other people think of its worth and
what they therefore will pay for it.
Each particular sale of land is merely
evidence of what certain persons
think the land was worth or were
willing to pay for it. The price paid
may have been increased by consider
alton peculiar to the particular sale,
and the price paid is never exclusive
evidence Of the value. Sometimes a.
man is pressed for ready money and
sells piece of land for less than it
would bring If more time had been de-
voted to the search Of a purchaser.
Sometimes man desires a particular
tract to increase parcel he already
owns or for some other reason and be-
cause of this, desires that particular
site and is compelled to pay larger
price than any other person would pay.
Tangible personal property is easy
to assess because it is visible and does
not require the stringent method nee
essery TO assess and collect the tax on
intangible personal property. 1t has
Eaen said, and honestly so that taxes
on intangible personal property are
paid only by the ignorant, the helpless
or the demonstrations. Because
of the easy access of visible property
merchants and manufactures suffer.
production and enterprise are dis
couraged and prosperity to a certain
extent is delayed.
This board has noted from year to
year the demand for increased revenue
total raised for state school, county
expenses, local municipal expenses
and LEGAL schools in Morris county was
S680,055. In 1909 the total amount
raised for the same purposes was $780, |
Ala, an increase of $4,000. The in
crease in the ratableS of the county
was only $l,600,0co There was there
fore made upon the people an increa ed
demand for revenue of seventeen per
cent plus while the increased taxable |
property which was compelled to paw
the tax was le-S than four per cent.
1t is not within our province to crit
iciSe the demand made for revenue.
In all cases, the moneys are demanded
either directly by the people or by
their elected representatives.. This
board believes that it is their duty to |
make plain statement OF the facts
For the year 1909 four municipalities
had tax rate in excess Of the amount
allowed by law and were compelled to
ask, this board for a waiver of the ex-
cess which under the law the board
has power to grant and did grant, but
The following shows the total
amount Of increases asked for the
