ABOUT ASSESSING.

The Arkansas tax commission has sent to the assessors of the state cer- tain instructions to be followed in listing the property for taxation, a function now being performed.
 Parts of the circular sent to the as- sessors are 9f interest to the public, and are reproduced below for the in formation of .propety owners.
 The tax commission writes:
 s'It is of first importance that tha assessor assess the property of his county uniformly By uniformity is think, that each item or article in the same class should be assessed at the same valuation regardless of it's ac- tual value. It does not mean where property is assessed on a basis of 50 per cent that each mule is to be as- sessed $50 whether he is worth $40 or $25O and that each COW is to be as sessed $20; that mule worth $250 is to be assessed $125; COW worth $10 is to be assesser $5 and that COW worth $100 is to be assessed $50.
 "All property of every kind, char acter and description should be listed. Anything having a value that can be measured in dollars and cents is prop erty and should be taxed. The as sessor should always bear in mind that the evasion of taxes by one tax payer who omits items or underas- sesses, works an injustice on every person who honestly renders his property assessment.
 ''The commission urges that prop erty be assessed on basis of 50 per cent of it's full value. By this is not meant 30 per cent of what the taXpay- CT returns the property but 50 per cent of what the property is actually worth. Assessing officers in a few counties last year conceived the idea that the proposition of assessing on a 50 per cent basis meant that they should divide the valuation fixed by the taxpayer on each item of his property by two, and assess the prop erty at just half what the list showed, This was wrong. The 50 per cent at which property should be assessed is 50 per cent of the fair market value of the property.
 "The supreme court of the state has held that an assessment of property on a 50 per cent basis is a legal as- sessment, provided other property in the county as assessed no higher. The courts have also held that the as- sessor has the right to fix what he thinks is a fair value of property re- gardless of the rendition as made by the taxpayer. It is the assessors s duty to assess the property of his county as near uniformly as possible. If he knowingly permits one man to assess at lower per cent than another has assessed, he neglects his duty and yio- lates his oath of office"

GATHERING WOOL IN TURKEY.
Old Methods of Shearing Sheep Pre-.
vail in SuItan's Domain.

The manner of shearing sheep in
SYRIA and all Asiatic Turkey does not
differ materially from the ancient
methods of the people as applied to
practically every other vocation. While
the sheep industry is one of the Oldest
of the country, having existed for cen
turtles in the same pastures where the
ancestors of the present herders also
tended fiocks, there does not appear to
have been any improvement in the
manner of shearing or breeding the
sheep. Shearing is still accomplished in
the crudest way, the workers always
leaving considerable amount of wool on
the animal, while the fleece removed is
cut most unevenly. The shearers fire.
uuently cut great holes in the skins of
the sheep, which by the use of modern
shearing machines could easily be
avoided.
In the vicinity of A1eppo and the con-
tiguous territory there are about $780,
900 sheep producing about 5,668,0O
pounds of wool per annum; Bagdad and
vicinity, Mosoul, Damascus, and north
in the interior of Asia Minor there are
also great numbers, which will give
some idea of the need of modern shear
ing machines. Some of the principal
wool buyers of Aleppo are also i'm
porters and commission agents, and as
the importers handle practically all the
goods entering the country and are in
close touch with the wool producers, it
seems likely that the quickest and sur
est way to Introduce strengthening
machines would be through certain of
these business men. About the only
horse clippers in use are a few pairs Of
ordinary hand clippers owned by Euro
peans. Horses are seldom clipped in
this country, and it would probably be
difficult to introduce machines for that
purpose, though they are needed very
much The matter might also be taken
