SENATOR STONE Of MISSOURI

One of the best parliamentary tac-
ticians in the United States senate is
William Joel Stone, of Missouri. He Is
a veteran in legislative experience,
having sat in the house from 1885 to
1891. Then he was elected governor
of his state and in 1903 was sent to
the Federal senate.
Senator Stone is an uncompromising
Democrat and believes that his party
will be successful in the next presi-
dental campaign. However. he be-
lieved the same thing in 1900, when he
managed Bryan's campaign.
The senator is one of the most pict-
uresque figures in congress. He is six
feet in height, is as slender and
straight as poplar, and wears dress
characteristic of himself. His face
is wrinkled, his skin somewhat
like parchment, his speech, when he is
calm and without excitement, slow and
deliberative. But when stirred by an
ger or emotion, his words flow with

Full Value on Personal.


bus.-Emphasizing the state
mcnt that real estate has been placed
on the tax duplicate at lis true value
in money and that public utilities and
bank shares, yet to be passed on, will
be assessed the same way, the state
tax commission issued a letter to
country boards of equalization and
city boards of review, insisting that
personal property be dealt with in
like manner and stating that officials
who do not care to do their full duty
in this direction should resign and
permitNbthers to take their offices.
The statement AYERS that county
auditors will assess bank stock at its
true value in money and that the tax
commission itself will see that public
utilities are assessed on the same
basis.
Many individuals, copartnerships
and associations have voluntarily
made full, honest returns to the per-
sonal property assessors, but there
are others who have made insufficient
returns or none at all, as in the past.
Such conduct, while always reprehen-
sible, is peculiarly so at this time and
Is evidence of such bad citizenship,
not to characterize it more harshly, as
| entities such persons to no leniency
whatever at the hands of your board"
says the commissions letter. Contin-
| uing, the letter reads:
"In former years, when other classes
| Of property were assessed at per-
centage of the true value, such boards
as yours may have been justified in
equalizing personal property in the
same way, but such conditions no
longer exist and, if personal property,
through the fault of anyone, is as
sessed below it's true value, an unjust
burden is thereby imposed upon the
owners of real estate, bank stock and
public utilities, which they should not
bear, and of these the small home
owners and farmers will be the great
est sufferers.
ut may be said that If county and
city boards of equalization and re.
view will do their duty fearlessly,
fairly and intelligently, substantially
all of the taxable property in the state
will be fairly placed on the tax dupH
cate and, If this is done, sufficient rev
enue can be raised under the / pei
cent maximum tax rate act to meet
all the requirements of every taxing
district, when its affairs are econom
ically administered"
