v. 7. SMITH OF
MARION ACTIVE
Three Methods of Bringing
Out Personal Property for
Taxation Proposed by
Him.
Ry unlted Press Mlrc.

Columbus. O., Feb. 13.-Three meth
DDS of bringing out personal proper
ty for taxation aud thereby insuring
the sud,ess OF one per cent. tax
law are being proposed by Rcpresen-
tative w. II. Smith, of Marion county,
author OF the one-cent tax bill.
First of all, Smith would have a
provision in his bill prohibiting heirs
from receiving property left them by
Wills. II It was shown that the estate
exceeded the valuation on which tax
es had been paid. He proposes a
caluse enabling the state to recover
the amount due 1t In unpaid taxes
before the property Is turned over to
the heirs.
Another provision would delay the
collections on mortgages, notes, etc,
until il had been shown that the taxes
due on such paper had been paid.
Another would give assessors lnquisl-
torial rights In the examination of
bank books and accounts to show in
dividual bank deposits subject to taxa
tion.
Smith declared today that with
these provisions in his bill. there
would be absolutely no doubt of per-
sonal property being returned for tax
alton In sufficient amounts to more
than insure rhe success of the one
cent tax law He said the taxation
committee was working towards the
insurtion OF such provisions. The com
mitee will hold public hearing Tues
| day and Thursday on the bill.

GREAT SCHEME
OF A DAM SITE
Near Phoenix, Arizona
Where $4,000, 100000 Gu

Be Impounded.

washington, Feb. 13-Thc last stone

the Roosevelt dam and prcpara-
tions are now under way for
its formal opening on March Is. Ex-
President Roosevelt for whom the
massive structure has been named,

the three days celebration.
Located in an almost inaccessible
canyon, sixty miles from railroad
the rapid and successful construction
of the dam has been watched with
interest by engineers all over the
world. The massive walls rise two
hundred and eighty-four feet from
foundation to parapet, Its length, on
top, is one thousand eighty feet and
across IL runs a roadway twenty
feet I'm width.
Just below the point where the
Tonto Creek empties into IL tile Salt
Lake River enters one of the most
magnificent canyons of the west, form
ing AN ideal dam site. Behind the
structure the waters of the turbulent
stream will form reservoir twenty
hundred feet deep. Its capacity IL
approximately 56,62S, 900 600 cubic feet
or of sufficient quantity to cover tho
entire state of Delaware with n Sheet
OF water one foot deep.

ALARM REGARDING
KAISER'S ILLNESS

Berlin, Feb. l3.-So many contra
dictory reports have been issued re-
garding the nature and extent of the
kaiser's Illness that the public is be-
coming alarmed. The Berlin. cor
respondent of the London Telegraph
today wired his paper as follows;
when a responsible department
contradicts itself in such a manner,
II is not surprising that the official
statements regarding the Kaiser's
health are received with considerable
suspicion"
The apprehension of the public will
undoubtedly continue until the Kaiser
resumes his public appearances. All
the Kaiser's immediate engagements
have been Cancelled. II Is still In
sisted that the emperor Is suffering
from an aggravated cold.

That the sympathy of most Texans
is with the Mexican rebels can hardly
be doubted. II isn't altogether re-
memberlng the Alamo that accounts
for this feeling. The badly concealed
methods of Diaz in catching his foes
who escaped into Texas, the almost
open subsidizing of those who could
help him. and one or two eases Of
pretty bald kidnapping, furnish Il more
modern reason for n sentiment that
is almost universal in TeXas.-Brook-

In the action to be taken by the
Illinois legislature on the proposed
resolution memorializing congress. to
ratify the proposed reciprocity with
Canada has reached the highest
pitch. 1t is impossible to forecast
what action the legislature Will take
for the Taft friends have determined
to make a bitter fight to secure the
adoption Of the resolution, though the
Cannon friends are believed to be
In command.
Speaker Adkins, who probably will
have much to do with deciding the
fate Of the resolution, was elected
with the combined aid of the friends
of Speaker Cannon and Congress-
man William 3. Mckinley. Cannon
In his letter to state Senator Bailey
has announced his open opposition to
the treaty, Mckinley sides with Presi
dent Taft. 1t is rumored today that
Adkins will side with Mckinley and

come to an immediate vote. Still

Il 10 Not Funny.

Editor The Missourian: Students
will be students. They cannot help
it. Therefore they will do student
tricks. Generally tricks are, funny
and interesting to the crowd that
watches them. but occasionally the
alleged wit and humor Of band of
students misses fire completely
Monday morning the fire chief was
called to a fire at house on Mary
land place. He made good run, but
it was found that the fire hose was
not needed. The chief climbed to the
roof and helped tear of shingles so
as to reach the smouldering fire with
q small garden hose.
The crowd of students watching
him from the street jeered him and
shouted conflicting advice to him.
There was no need of the students do
ing that. The chief did in this case
exactly what the best fire fighter in
the world would have done. He helped
as much as he could.
At every fire the behavior Of the
students is the same. Perhaps they
think they are being funny. They are
not. They keep the fire department
from putting forth its best efforts. Nc
one can do good work while a crowd
Of irresponsibles Is doing its best to

MlssouRps TAX SYSTEM.

Whatever may be wrong with the
tax system in Missouri, it is certain
the people do not understand clearly
what the system is. The same fault
is found in other states as was point
ed out by President Frank l. Mcvey
Of the University OF North Dakota in
his address at assembly last Tuesday.
The taxes of the national govern
ment are unknown to many persons.
People do not pay money directly for
United States tax receipt and 1t ney-
er occnrsr to them that they are furp-
ishing the millions whose spending
puzzles Congress. But this failure to
understand national taxes is to some
degree pardonable; national taxes. do

taxes are direct. A person is compell-
ed to pay one officer a certain amount
of money because, another officer has
said this persons property is worth
30 much. This system should cause
one to be more or less inqnisitive.
But the large majority pay each. year
without thinking to inquire whether
or not this is the best way to obtain
re,enue. There may be complaint
about particular assessment. but the
plan is seldom questioned unsel6shly.
The poor people, the small property
owners. pay much more in proportion
to their ability. than the large proper
~ owners, the critics say. And this
cannot be denied. 1t Is generally be
iieved the present system is unfair
But with most persons the trouble Is
that they do not try to find the trou
bic.
