TAXATION IN MINNESOTA v
Equalization by County Boards

AS explained in a preceding article
three bodies of an official character
review the work of the assessors II
the valuation of the real and persona
property of the state for purposes o.
taxation, namely, the town or Local
board of review, the county board OF
equalization, and the tax commission
The theory of the equalization OF
assessments is that the town or local
board of review should equalize be-
tween individuals and classes, the
county board between assessment
districts, and the tax commission be-
tween counties. "
The county commissioners and the
county auditor constitute the county
board of equalization. This board
meets at the court house on the
third Monday in July, being July 18th
of this year, and may continue in ses'
sion and adjourn from time to time
during four weeks.
After each member has subscribed
to an oath Ito fairly and imparttally
perform his duties" the board pro-
ceeds to examine and compare the
returns OF assessment of property OF
the several towns or districts OF the
county, and to equalize the same by
making such increases or decreases
as may be necessary so that each
tract or lot of real property, and each
article or class of personal property
shall be fairly and equitably assessed
If all property were listed and as
sessed at it's true and full value, as
provided by law, there would be but
little work for boards of equalization
to do, but under the existing custom
of assessing property at varying per-
centage of value in different taxing
districts the work Of equalization is
necessarily an important part OF our
assessment system:
No one can reasonably expect the
board to make an absolutely perfect
equalization of assessed values. That
is an ideal which never has and per.
haps never will be attained. The best
that can be expected is to approxi'
mate this ideal. The valuation of pro-
perty for purposes of taxation is
largely matter of good judgment and
intelligent discrimination. This is
especially true of personal property
When these qualities are fairly and
impartially applied to each taxing
district of county a reasonably uni
form, and hence equitable assessment
will follow.
The most important thing to be
kept in mind by county boards IS that
the same standard of valuation the
same yard stick should be applied to
all the taxable property of the county
Uniformity of valuation the placing
of all of the towns of the county on
the same basis so that the assessment
of property of the same kind shall he
at substantially the same percentage
of value in each and all of the towns
this, rather than a:high or low assess
ment, is the desirable end to be at
tanned by the county board of equal.

Exterminate the Fly.
(COntributed)

\OOSsA s~~SONI
With the hearty co operation of
practically the entire body OF citizens,
either individuals or working through
their hired men in the City Hall or
Town Council, several good sized
cities have practically abolished the
fly; and every city can do the same If
its citizens want to.
The first and most difficult step is to
convince the general public that flies
are an actual menace to health. The
next step is to make the public under.
stand that it is possible to get rid of
them. This educational work usually
requires the initiative and energy OF
some group of citizens to make it
effective.
Get in touch with some local orga-
nization which has the interests of the
town at heart. Your local chamber
of commerce or business mems club
probably can be interested, at least
to the extent of appointing commit
tee with power to raise funds for this
particular work. One of the most
carefully planned and effective edu'
cstionsl csmpsigns sgsinst the fy IL
being conducted by tho Women's
Municipal League of Boston. Or,

zens yourself or join the American
Civic Association and organize q
local branch of 1t.
Now you can interest your local
newspapers and your municipal
government. Ask the city health
officer to indorse tho anti fly com
paien. he will do it. Get him to dc
1t in writing. If he has no original
ideas on the subject give him a copy
OF the "Fly Catechism" OF the Indian
apolis Board of Health and ask him
to sign that. Here it is:
l. Where is the Fly born? In manure
and filth.

3. Is anything too filthy for the Fly

4. (a) Where does he go when h

ALCOHOL CAUSE OF DISEASE
Does More Than Anything Else to
Render People incapable of With
standing Many Ills.

One of the many prominent physi-
clans and chemists who are now
wont to take opportunity to frequently
pronounce against the use Of alcoholic.
drink is DR.. G. Sims Woodhead. pro-
lessor Of pathology at Cambridge
university, England. DR.. Woodhead's
latest summing up Is clear and strik-
ing, and is set forth as follows:
Alcohol is perhaps the most i'm
portant factor IN the production of
disease. 1t does more than anything
else to render people incapable of
withstandfng disease. Alcohol pre-
pares the human body for the attacks
OF disease, just as did the extreme
heat OF the past season, the straw for
the engine spark to set on fire. It
can be proved that alcohol taken in
comparatively small quantities inter-
feres with the blood. 1t alters the
huids very slightly indeed, but certain
substances become less active and
are unable to do their work 80 Well
as usual. The fight between disease
and these substances becomes unfair.
tAAO SCI L4b 1lcAhS use vi luSll OPpCA LUlLA-
Ties, invade the body and set up dis
ease
Take, for instance, the scourage Of
tuberculosis. During the last ten
years the death rate from consump-
ton has been declining. In London
the decline was 19 per cent; in Paris,
2 per cent. II is significant in regard
to these figures that IN this country.
(Great Brittany the drink bill has
during the same period dropped from
s22.30 per head OF the population to
1865 per head, whereas in France it
Is very different. In this country with
the decline of the consumption of al
cohol has come q lower death rate
from tuberculosis We do not say this
was the sole cause, but we do remark
that the two things have gone on to-
gether. Better housing, clothing,
education, feeding and conditions Of
life generally have had a great deal to
DO with the fall in the death rate. At
the bottom of all, however, We have
the gradual diminution in the amount
Of money spent on drink. This is a
tremendous gain to the nation.
"We. as medical men, have to do
al we can to point out to the people
that there is a very direct connection
between tuberculosis and the amount
Of alcohol consumed. To get rid Of
tuberculosis, we must, of course, get
rid Of the tubercle bacillus. The ba-
cillus can only do its work when
placed in favorable conditions, and al
cOhol has the faculty of tilling and
preparing the ground for its growth
Were no alcohol in the soil, the bacfl
lus would fall on very stony ground
BY taking alcohol the human being
renders himself more open to attack
by diseases of various kinds, and i'm
pairs his faculties often to a slight de-
gree, but sufficient to interfere with
his powers Of doing good work. Alec
hol we are satisfied is the Doctors
worst friend because the doctor wants

stainer viii get we'll more quickly
than If he takes alcohol, and a great
many doctors believe it now. More

RECORD OF A HOLSTElN cow
Dairy Animal Will Make About Ten
Times Better Use Of Her Food Than
Good Steer

(By PROF. A. L. HACKER, Nebraska
Agricultural College,
To illustrate the economic work of
a good dairy COW in Transforming for
age and grain into human food, I
wish to call attention to the record of
a Holstein COW owned at the Ne
braska station. This COW produced in
one year 1850 pounds of milk,
which contained 1872 per cent. of
solids, which is equivalent to 1903
pounds Of total solids, which is large
ly assimilatiye and in the most favor
able condition tor human food.
\ good steer at the proper age and
under the best methods of feeding will
increase his weight about 80 pounds
in a year. After deducting 80 or 60
per cent Of dressing, and 50 per cent.
for water we have remaining about
ESQ pounds OF nutriment, as against
$500 pounds for the COW. In other
words a good COW makes about Ten
times better use Of her food than a
good steer
This have given merely to Illus
trate that where economy in the use
OF stock food is necessary the dairy
COW will prove TO be a far better ami
nal in turning profits.

NOVEL ELECTRIC RESTAURANT

An electric restaurant, which Ell
tirely does away with the services Of
walters, has been installed in Paris.
1t is fitted with tables for one, two,
three, four and larger numbers Of
guests. Beneath the dining room is
the kitchen and dishes prepared below
are sent straight up to the tables
through the floor.
A guest gives mis- order through an
electrOphone attached to the electric
lamp on the table. The electrophone
carries the voice to the kitchen below
without any special effort of the diner
to speak into it. The dish ordered
comes up through a moderate-sized
hole in the table. When the diner
wishes to get rid of dishes or glasses
he merely says so and they disappear
silently through the hole by which
they came. When the table Is large
one the dish can be made to circulate
and stop before any diner who wishes
it,
No waiter or human assistant ap-
pears at the table from the moment
She diner sits down until he goes out.
When he wishes to pay his check he
says so. 1t comes up through the
table, he leaves the money and goes
away There is no waiter to be
tipped and none to feel aggrieved be-
cause he is not tipped. The inventor
Of the system is NJ Georgia KNAPP, a
noted electrician living in Paris, but
Of foreign origin.

probably not equal to several other
breeds in average milk yield but the
comparison is hardly fair because
there are ten herds of Holsteins, Jcr-
seys or Guernseys to one of the belt
ed, and it is easier to select compel
tive herds of more popular breeds.
One OF the best practical uses Of
the pure bred stock is in crossing
with other cattle. The grade heifer
of part Dutch belted ancestry is pref
" sure to be a good animal for dairy
purposes. She will possess the char
acteristic white belt, although ends
Of body may be red or roam instead
Of black She will be a large milk
yielder, the quality being good, al
though not particularly rich in butter
fat. She is also likely to be a long
lived producer and perhaps a little
more hardy than most pure bred
stock The Dutch belted reproduce
their quality with remarkable exact
ness when crossing with other stock.

RAPID Skiing ON WATER

A German cabinet maker has con
structed a pair of water shoes, with
the help of which he walks upon the
water He has already crossed Lake
Ammer in Bavaria, 1900 feet wide
in two hours. These water shoes are
really two long, narrow boxes Of pine
wood, squared off at the rear end
and shaped life the bow of a boat il
front To preserve his balance the
traveller grasps two upright posts. At
the outer edge of each boat or shoe
three small paddles, shaped like rud-
ders. are fastened. These move on
hinges and are worked by a sliding
mechanism that is operated by the
traveller pushing his feet forward al
ternately. somewhat like a boy learn
ing to skate He can travel rapidly,
and with safety on smooth water,
although the apparatus is probably
not fit for use in stormy weather.
Those who have tested 1t assert that
it does not tax the strength as much
as rowing a moderately sized boat.
The inventor uses his water shoes
almost every day for crossing the
lake and transporting his tools and a
moderate amount of baggage.
