Tax Statements Are Funny.

Topeka-"A glance over the per-
sonal property statements now being
returned in Neosho county for taxa
ton, show some amusing facts" said
Seth G. Wells, former state auditor.
Zone man in the county has per-
sonal property assessment of $1,000.
OF course, there isn't anything start
ling about that, but the fact that his
automobile was assessed at 1885 and
his household goods at SIS makes 1t a
little more interesting. Another Neo
sho county party has personal proper
ty assessed at $500, s495 of which was
on diamonds. 1t isn't OF much conse
quence, however, what the other S.
represents"
