! 1T is not a joke, The assessors
intend to explain TO the legislature
that the work of assessing property
in the state might just as well be
done by a central board in Olympia
as under the present system. The
central board could find all the prop
erty owners through a perusal OF the
poll books of each county, and then
send out a notice to each to notify
the board of the value of his prop
erty, and the assessment could be
fixed upon that statement That is
what they do with reference to pub
lie service corporation property.
System As He Sees It.
No matter what the assessor
knows the value of the property to
be, when he makes his return st that

corporations figures and makes the

Colby avenue and constructed a big
concrete power station and filled it
with valuable machinery, yet the
state board reduced the value of that

Bigger the Property, Less the Tax.
Take the Great Northern Railway
company's property here; it was
treated similarly. During the year
the company erected fine depot, en-
larged its yards and made other i'm
proyements inside the city, yet the
state board reduced the assessed
valuation OF that corporations hold

same thing happened when it came to
the property OF the Northern Pacific
in this city.

"All over this county the methods

REAL JOY OF OLD AGE
TRUE FRIENDSHIP EXISTS oNLv
IN THAT PERIOD.
Young People Are Too Chanaeable
and Those Of Middle Age Too
Absorbed In Their Strua-
ole for Life.

Old age has It's real Joys, which are
not only efforts to make the best of a
bad thing. l do not want to appear
paradoxical, but do not think 1t is a
paradox when assert that the old
man or woman. with a good disposi-
ton. Is more able than anybody else
to enjoy friendship love and-youth.
Young people know something Of
friendship, middle aged ones do not,
but old people know 1t thoroughly.
Friendship among the young IL
comradeship. companionship hastily
chosen, more warm than deep, very
capricious. very changeable and al
ways with vague feeling that It Ia
not going to last long, far less for
ever.
Friendship. between men OF mature
age does not exist, or is at least q
thing 80 rare. that 1t need not be
taken into consideration at all. At
that age a person has rivals, who are
sometimes loyal. sometimes sympa-
thetic and kind; of friends he has
none. II by friends you understand
people who take pleasure In your sue
cess as In their own and think Of
POUR welfare as their own.
The struggle for life makes such q
thing impossible. because 1t puts into
conflict with each other the very peo-
pie. who. because Of their common
tastes and efforts, ought to be friends.
1t is the age when you havo q vague
feeling Of distant friends who follow
your doings with interest In whom
you take a certain amount Of interest.
but whom you really d. not know, and
IL perchanco you came to know them.
you care less for them, because you
have reason 10 fear them. as they
have reason TO fear you. They are
friends whom you ignore and whom Il
10 we'll that you should ignore. friends
to whom you say: my friends-I
have no friends."
Mature age knows no friendship. Il
Knows only patrons or clients or Gus
toners. The man Of middle age has
patrons and clients. He is protected
and protector, he may be protected
without loss Of dignity and act as pro-
tector without impudence and II 30.
he knows at least that cool and pleas
ant shadow Of friendship, but never
theless he remains delicately protect.
ed and protecting. while friendship is
something far more than that
The old man knows friendship. He
knows the real, true friendship, be.
cause he receives disinterested friend
ship and gives friendship that carries
1t no material advantages. Those who
arc fond Of him are not counting his
protection nor gives 1t to those he
cares for. Old age Is like poverty.
Just as rich man never knows II
he Is loved for his own sake, and as
the rich young girl never knows II
the man who tells her he loves her,
really loves her or just her money, so
the old man and the poor man are
the only ones who may be sure that
their friends are really their friends.
