An Honest Man Who Paid Hi. Tax.

The personal property tax Is A. ],
Nock's subject in the February Amer
lean Magazine He points out that tho
United States Is the only great nation
where such laws have not been abol
ished, that the successful operation OF
tho law is impossible. and that they arc
the worst tax laws known IN tho civ!-
lized world. putting n premium on dis
honesty and dcbauching tho public
conscience. Mr.. Mock as an illustration
TO one Of tho points he makes, tells the
following amusing and at the same
time amazing story:
THE state OF Michigan attaches tn"
customary horrible penalties TO false
or incomplete return. and makes use
Of an explicit listing system-not PEN
Gllzing empty beer kegs. I believe. al
tho the prohibition tendency In Michi-
gan ia pretty strong just now. \ friend
OF mine married and settled in thriv-
ing Michigan town: and presently the
assessor called and left blank. with
the solemn admonition to list his per-
sonal property for assessment.
"He made an honest return Of every
thing he had. at valuations that were
absolutely just 20 the best OF his
knowledge and belief He was assessed
accordingly and paid his tax bill with
out comment.
when the tax roll was published.
however, he observed with interest that
he was not only paying the largest tax
bin in town. but that he was paying
moro personally taxes than all the rest
OF tho people in town put together.
Aware that he was poorer than many
OF his neighhors. he naturally felt It
was an imposition, and made a fuss
about It. His townsmen sympathized,
hut what was to be done? Grievance
day was past. no was assessed on his
own sworn statement, mis- tax bill had
been paid. and there was no legal way
of getting tho situation reviewed ex
post facto.
Finally It occurred 20 somc ingeni-
Gus soul that the town council might
make n special appropriation. and re-
bate him on his tax bill up to an
amount that the current. general sense
OF equity would regard as right: and
this, incredible as 1t seems. was actual
ly done"

b. E. Stonebraker Of Rockwell City.
one Of the standpat leaders OF north
srn Iowa, Judge w. s. kenyon stated
his views with respect to the trade
agreement with Canada, which Presi-
dent Taft Is urging upon congress.
"As to the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Canada said Judge Ken
yon. Il do do not see how anyone can
give an opinion thereon at this time.
unless he has made it matter OF
careful study and thought.
1T will not be disposed of at this
session Of congress and there will be
plenty of time for discussion with the
Iowa farmers In relation thereto be-
fore final action
III elected to the senate I should
try and approach the question In q
broad way. taking 1t up with the farm
ers OF Iowa and discussing 1t with
them.
II would not under any circum-
stances, cast a vote to injure the real
Interests Of the farmers Of Iowa: but
can not at this time. express an opin-
ion on this treaty because have not
had the opportunity to study 1t thor
oughly and to consider all OF the con-
dttions
Il am in favor Of reciprocity treaties
where they are fair alike to the pro-
ducer and the consumer. but am not
prepared to say that this proposed ar
rangement is absolutely fair to the
farmer.
ut seems to me we should not be
carried away by any hysteria as to the
proposition, but should face 1t calmly
and in a groad and statesmanltke
manner.
.r do not believe any man from
Iowa, either in the senate or house,
would favor any measure that would
be really hostile to the great agri-
cultural population Of Iowa on which
its prosperity SO much depends.
II have been conducting a farm near
Fort Dodge for the last ten years and
what little / have is invested in Iowa
lands; consequently I have the same
interests as any other Iowa farmer in
having q square DEAL"
