II quite agree with Judge Lind
sey," he writes, "that the Boy Scout
movement is a movement Of peculiar
importance to the whole country
services Of the boys were requested
by the Carnival officers, and for a
period of ten days they were on
duty performing all manner of SER
vice in the Carnival grounds, d.
recting strangers to hotels, and act
ing as guides and helpers in hun
dred ways
"What these Boy Scouts of the
Philippines have just done. I think
our Boy Scouts in every town and
country district should train them
selves to be able to do.
"The movement is a movement
for efficiency and patriotism. You
don't try to make soldiers of Boy
Scouts, but to make boys who will
turn out as men to be fine citizens,
and who will if their country needs
them make better soldiers for hav-
ing been scouts. No one can be a
good American unless he is a good
citizen, and every boy ought to train
himself so that as man he will
be able to do his full duty to the
country. / want to see the Boy
Scouts not merely utter fine senti-
ments, but act on them; not mere
ly sing My Country TITS of Thee
but act in a way that will give
them a country to be proud of. No
man is a good citizen unless he SO
acts as to show that he actually
uses the ten commandments, and
translates the Golden Rule into his
life conduct-and l don't mean by
this in exceptional cases under spec
tacular circumstances, but I mean
applying the ten commandments
and the Golden Rule in the ordin-
airy affairs Of every day life
Il hope the Boy Scouts will prac-
tice truth and square dealing, and
courage and honesty, SO that when
as young men they begin to take
part not only in earning their own
livelihood, but in governing the
community, they may be able to
show in practical fashion their in
sistence upon the great truth that
the eighth and ninth commando
ments are directly related to every
day life, not only between men |
as such in their private relations,
but between men and the govern
ment Of which they are part. In
deed the boys even while only boys
have a very real effect upon the con-
duct of the grown up members of
the community, for decency and
square dealing are just as conta-
gious as vice and corruption.
Every healthy boy" continues
fought to feel and will
feel that in order to amount to any,
thing, it is necessary to have a con-
and not merely de-
structive, nature; and IL he can
keep this feeling as he grows up he
has taken his first step towards
good citizenship. The man who
tears down and criticises and scolds
may be good citizen, but only in
the negative sense; and If he new
sr does anything else he is apt not
% be good citizen at all. The man
who counts, and the boy who ,
counts, are the man and the boy

President Taft wrote in part as to.-
lows
"The importance of the treaty with
Japan, the conclusion of which you are
assembled to celebrate, cannot be
guaged solely from the standpoint Of
its attractiveness commercially The
treaty as recently negotiated and rati-
fled is additional guarantee Of the
friendship which has so long exisced
between the two countries, a friend
ship so strong that we can well regard
with complacence even the michiev-
ious and malicious rumors so parti-
cularIy circulated By friends Of neith-
er government and which so utterly
lack foundation in fact"
Secretary Knox proposed the
health of the emperor Of Japan, which
was drunk amid shouts of @Banzia
He paid tribute to the Japanese am.
hassador and added that the sentiment
of mutual confidence between him and
Baron uchida inspired by his pecul-
lar friendship Of many years played
its part in the recent negotiations"
Baron Uchida returned the comph-
ment 70 Mr.. Knox and characterized
war as absurd, nonsensical and silly.

Cash
VALUE IS
BASIS
For Assessment; Lindsay
Receives Letter From
State Auditor.

In line with construction placed on
the law by County Clerk LINDSAY and
according with Instructions wh.oh he
has given to the township assessors,
the state board Of equalization in a
letter to the county commissioners
received today serves notice that all
property must be lis.ed for taxation
at actual cash value.
Mr. Lindsay has already received
the books Of several ., the assessors
and in spite of the Instructions given
to them, he says in many instances
the values fall far below the basis fix
ed by law. Some Of the books we're
in such shape that they had to be re-
turned for correction.
Following is the letter received by
Mr. Lindsay:
Oklahoma City. April 25th. 1911
To All County Commissioners.
Dear Sir
At a meeting Of the board Of equal
ization held in this city March q,
1911, the following mction was made
and carried unanimously.
That all property be assessed at its
actual cash value. aud that this board
will acs upon that theory when it
comes to equalizing property, aaG that
the question of what property has
been assessed at in previous years
will not be the controlling factor in
determining the values Of this year. "
We are thus advising you in order
that you may govern yourself accord
ingly when your board begins equaliz-
ing your county. AS stated alb We, as
sessments Of previous years wiz ~.
be the controlling factor in determin-
ing the values Of this year, asc the law
plainly states that all property OF
whatsoever nature, shall be listed and
assessed each year at its fair cash
value"
II is the intention of the board Ol
equalization to see that this law il
complied with. We have informad u
from various counties that property
is being assessed from so per cent 10
rs per cent of its cash value. AT
boards permitting such assessments
to stand, violate not only the letter
but the spirit Of the law as we'll as
their oaths of office and if property is
returned to this board on the abo?e
basis. the assessments will sme:y be
returned.
The raising Of values will not nee
essarily increase the burden o. taxa
ton. as levies should be corrasnonG
ingly decreased. Would it not be
much better to show the world n!gh
valuation and a low rate Of taxation
than a low valuation and higl rate
We respectfully ask the cooperation
and assistance Of all local boards Of
equalization.
Very respectfully,
LEO MEYER.
Secretary State Board of Equalization
