nearly asphyxiated by gas escaping
from a burner on the lower floor. Oh

though they are cleaned up as often as

grabbed a hoe, struck at the reptile
and without waiting to see If n dam
age had been done dashed in the house,
slammed and locked the door. stuck the
horn out of the window and
blew such a blast that the men in the
fields came IN a lead run. When they
reached the house Mrs. Wilcox, an
aged woman, had swooned. They re-
suscitated her and inquired h cause.
She pointed tt the back door and they
went out and found the snake right
where it had been. She had cut the
head from the body with one stroke Of

for complaints against assessments, of
course; but with this distribution OF
the burden of maintaining the city
on a fair valuation, it will be found
that the owners of modest homes
probably will find their taxes re-
duced, and a few others will be
raised
Now in view of this situation, II is
important. If the people have conf
dence in the fairness and good judg-
ment of the administration, that a
general council in sympathy with its
plans and purposes be elected. Not
every man who comes around prom
ising to cut your taxes. will do it,.
Nor would injudicious cutting be best
for all concerned in the long run. A
reduction of the tax rate and an in
crease of the assessment always look
better to visitors to the city; but at
the same time certain Improvements
are necessary and the city must not
be crippled. Intelligence and econ
.omy are required in fixing the as
sessment and rate. The mayor. him.
self : large holder Of all kinds OF
real estate, will be affected by the
valuation in all parts of the city and
by the rate. He can be depended
upon to advocate nothing that will
hurt real estate; but general coun-
ell, whose majority leaders are poll
ticians. with a maycralty race only a
year away, could involve the finances
of the city embarrassingly and bur-
den the taxpayers of the city beyond
endurance. for the purpose Of dis
|crediting the present administration
and influencing the next election.

ENQUIRER SPECIAL ON
TAFT AND ROOSEVELT

Cincinnati, Oct. PAN Enquirer
special from Washington says:
That President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt fully understand each 9th
er. and are working in harmony, and
that the former president is not the
candidate for the nomination in 1912
but is convinced that Mr.. Taft should
again be the standardbearer, is the
statement attributed to Collector
Loeb, of New York, who was in Wash
ington, comforting with officials OF
the treasury department in reference
to the recently discovered customs
frauds.
While Mr.. Loeb would not permit
his name to be used in discussing the
relations between his former chief
and the president, it is known that
he has been talking along these lines
to his intimate friends in Washing
ton.
Knowing Colonel Roosevelt as in
timately as he does, and being one
of his confidential advisers and
friends. and at the same time sus-
tanning the closest of relations with
the president, Mr.. Loebs discussion
of the feeling between the president
and his predecessor is regarded as be-
ing of the highest significance.
What Mr.. Loeb has been saying
to his friends here is to the effect

that the understanding between the

much to do with the visit of the pres
ident in New York, and OF the ex-
preston of his hope for the election

slightest suspicion as to the good
faith of Colonel Roosevelt with rez

must not antagonize the president to
the extent that they will not be in a

been inclined to severely criticise the
president and who are his (Roose-
velt's) warm friends. practically the
same thing. but he has not felt called
upon TO blazen the fact to the entire
country at this time. In fact, he has
felt that he would do Taft more good

TAXES AND THE VOTERS.

Some people are going to yell like
sin at the real estate valuation re-
turned by the special commission APP
pointed to revise Il with the block
map; but, eventually those same peo-
pie, II the administration plans are
carried out, will be brought to see
that their own taxes will be increased
little. If any, and probably reduced,
while the city will have a larger rev.
enue. The block maps, as the ex-
preston signifies, are maps of city
blocks, showing the dimensions and
shape of every piece of property and
the owner in each block. The board
members made an inspection of the
whole city with these maps, observ-
ing just how each piece lies with ref
erence to streets and alleys and the
topography of the land. They fixed
the valuations on the spot. consider
ing them according to location and
the character of the land. 80 that
property in each neighborhood is
valued on the same basis. varying
only as their actual worth is affected
by physical conditions.
This is the first time a true valua-
tion OF the real estate of Paducah
was ever made; and let II be said for
the fairness of the board. their own
property was valued by them at Just
a mite more the front foot than their
neighbors; so no enc can say, "But
they didn't raise their own assess
ments" Their report shows.
This valuation is not the assess
ment for taxing purposes That as
sessment will be made on a certain
percentage of this valuation. This
was made as nearly as possible at
the actual valuation, 30 as 10 get all
the real estate on a fair basis. When
the assessment is made. at whatever
percent OF the valuation the board
of supervisors decides upon. the tax
rate for next year will be fixed and
that will determine what taxes the
people are to pay.
Every opportunity will be given
