We see that twenty of the counties
have been assessed exactly at the
same ratio, based on the one hun
dred per cent. value, i. e. 2.11, and
none of the counties are very far out
of the way.
We hope very much that we have
been able to make plain some of the
very complex situations surrounding
the question of taxation in this state.
If there is any particular thing about
which you would like more infOrma-
ton, or which you would like TO have
more clearly elucidated, We assure
you it will be the pleasure of this
Board to give you the desired infOr-
nation, or give it to any person or
persons interested in this great sub
ject. We entertain the hope that the
time will soon come when the people
of this state will give more attention
to the subject of taxation than they
have in the past, when they will be
willing to pay the assessor and his
deputies reasonable salaries and when
they will demand of these officers
passing upon the property rights Of
every person in the county a strict
adherence to duty and the necessary
ability and regard for fairness and
justice, that al 1.-The property of the
county may be assessed upon fair
and just basis. The Office of assessor
is a hard one to fill. He is impor.
tuned by friends to neglect his duty
and he is damned by enemies if he
performs it. Counties generally are
willing to pay liberal salaries to off,
GERS whose duty it is to pay out the
countys money, but they deal in a
most parsimonious manner with those
officers whose duty it is to bring the
money in. The assessment of prop
erty requires the highest type of citi
zenship, and only the highest class Of
citizens should be employed in this
technical work. When this class of
talent is employed. it should be
properly remunerated, and people
generally of the county should rem.
der such aid and assistance to the as.
sessing officer as will help him in
doing exact justice.
Hoping that you may feel at liber.
ty to use this letter in whatever way
you may think it will do good, with
great respect,
Yours truly,

EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE.
IT'S Massive Vertical Base Checks the
d Widest Seas

The Eddystone rocks form a very
dangerous reef. lying in the English
channel about fourteen miles from
Plymouth. and here. in 1853. Henry
Winstanley built the first lighthouse.
which lasted but eight years.
Winstanley's tower was swept away
by tremendous storm. and every one
in it at the time, including the builder,
was drowned. Three years later Rud
yerds tower was built, only to be de-
stroyed by fire in 1866. and then came
John Smeaton's.
Modern lighthouses really date from
1859, when this third one was COM
pleted. Smeaton's design was faulty,
but it served as q model for lighthouse
construction in masonry. which has
been followed in its general features
ever since. This lighthouse stood for
over century, but it was not high
enough to keep the waves from dash
ing the lantern and SO was removed
and the present one built in 1882 by
James Douglass.
At the time Of the completion Of the
new lighthouse two bells weighing two
tons each and struck by mechanical
power were installed for fog signal
ing purposes. Since that date an ex-
plosive guncotton fog signal has been
erected. the bells being removed. Prob
ably the most interesting thing about
the lighthouse now on the Eddystone
is its solid vertical base. Heavy seas

partially broken up by the cornice and

the cornice Of the gallery was exposed
was so great that stones were some
times lifted from their beds.-Lookout.

study and careful consideration to
this phase of the taxation problem
We inaugurated a system of finding
the ratio of assessed to actual value,
and results have proven the wisdom
of the plan. We deal with propert,
on the one hundred per cent. basis
Taking this basis of valuation, and
applying it to the levies for the yeal
1911, shows a most remarkable re
suit. To make the matter plain:
The levy for state purposes in Che
halls County for the year 1911 was
1888. This levy was based on a ratio
of 26.17 per cent of the actual value
of the property If the the one hun.
dred per cent value of the propert,
had been used, the levy would have
been 2.05 per cent. The average rate
of levy for the state would have been
2.11 per cent. Note some of the 9th

A Fiohtinu Bishop.

On one occasion Bishop Selwyn was
going down the river Waikato with
Maori when the latter, who was very
lazy. left off padding the canoe. at the
same time muttering that if Selwyn
were not bishop he would-well, ''go
for him."
In moment the bishop told the man
to turn the canoe ashore. where. strip
ping himself of everything episcopal,
he said, pointing to his robes. etc.: "The
bishop lies there; the man is here. I
am quite ready. Come on"
The Maori did not "come on" how
ever. but quietly resumed his work
without another murmur.-London Tit

MonocIes In the EnuIish Army,

About a century ago British army
order was issued forbidding officers to
wear eyeglasses or spectacles. But a
shortsighted officer belonging to a
crack cavalry regiment had no mind
to resign his commission or stumble
blindly, and he invented the single
eyeglass. When called to account by
the authorities he claimed that the
monocle, being Of the singular num-
Der, did not contravene the order
against spectacles and glasses in the
plural. Red tape accepted this literal
rendering of the law, and. becoming
popular in the British army, the mono
Gle was in short time adopted by
civilian beaus.-London Globe.

there is also something radically wrong
with these courses after the girls enter
college. Ninety-fve per cent Of the
women in the world marry and have
children or are associated with children
in some professional way. Then why
should not part Of the education be
