as the zone mill school tax" and the
one-tenth of mill tax for the "Soldiers'
relief fund" and the like. The rate
of these taxes remains the same year
after year regardless of the taxable
valuation of the state or of the needs
of the institutions for which the tax
is levied and it can only be changed
by amending the law. The aggregate
rate of all these so-called special
taxes" at present amounts to 2.5S
mills on each dollar of assessed valua-
ton, and the total revenue derived
from them in 1911 was approximate
ly $3,OOO,OOO. If property in that year
had been assessed at it's true and full
value as provided by law these taxes
would have been increased fully three
fold, and would probably have amount
ed to more than $9,0o0,0oo.
In short, if the law requiring that
"all property shall be assessed at its
true and full value" was rigidly en-
forced it would inevitably result in
large and needless increase in taxes;
in great and uncalled for increase
in salaries; most likely in great in
crease in municipal Indebtedness, and
In a general and unwarranted demor-
alization of our entire revenue sys-
tenn.

Most people have heard OF the EVIL
Eye" and now we are informed by
Charles L. Smith. a noted New York
refractionist. that the superstition
arose because everyone. without know.
ing it. has one eye that is different in
power and activity from the other He
designates 1t the dominant eye," and
according TO whether 1t is the left OF
the right children will grow up left
handed or right-handed. 1t is sheer
cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis-
cry, to force a child to become am
bidextrous. Such course may result
in wrecking the nervous system. and
can only be cured by reversal OF the
process so that the dominant eye
may regain natural and undisputec
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep strict guard over thsiI
actions lest they should be credited
with the 'evil eye"
