1914 RAIL WAY TAX
ABOUT S4,5OO,O00
ASSESSMENT OF LINES IN STATE
BEING CONSIDERED by COM.
MISSION AT CAPITAL.
RATE AND VALUATION HIGHER
Growth and Increase in Business, To-
gether With Advance in Basis
of Computation, Means
Big Figure.

Madison. of the rail-
roads of the state in preparation for
the levy of tax to be collected in
1914 is being considered by the state
tax commission and the preliminary
assessment of the railroad properti IS
probably will be made within couple
of weeks.
For the year 1913 the railroads vert
valued for taxation purposes at $685..
1885, 900 and the resulting revenue waG
$3,86O,486, or at the rate of $11.SS on
each 81 1000 of valuation. 1t is expect.
ed that as result of the natural
growth and increase of the railroad
business of the state that the valua-
ton now being made will be materi-
ally larger than a year ago. But
whether this is so or not the railroads
will be called upon to pay much
larger tax than ever before for the rea-
son that the rate must be much higher.
The rate of assessment used to de-
termine the railroad tax is the general
average rate prevailing in the state
upon the real and personal property
of the state, and as the excessive levy
just made by the secretary of state
will force a higher general tax the
railroads must stand their share Of
the increase. And it is probable that
the total amount which they will be
called upon to pay in 1914 will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.
After the preliminary assessment is
concluded the railroad companies will
be given an opportunity to be heard,
and then the tax commission will
make final assessment and deter
mine the rate and the amount to be
levied against each corporation.

gentian are excellent digestive slim
ulants. Asafoetida, garlic and onions
have a good effect on the lungs and
bronchia
When a fowl has bilious look,
dysentery and then costiveness, it is
a strong indication that it is suffering
from liver troubles. When the edges
of the comb and wattles are of
purplish red it is sign of indiges-
ton. Fowls in good health always
have bright red comb.
Before they sell the eggs received,
commission men take them to dark
room, where they are candled. The
egg is held, up in the left hand before
strong light and the top shaded
with the right hand. If the air cell
lis small they know the egg is fresh.
If the albumen is noted to be slightly
thin and watery and the air space
greatly enlarged, it is put down as
two months old. About month or
two after that the. air space reaches
about the center of the egg and it is
declared worthless.
Eel grass, such as is found in the
bottom of creeks of Long Island,
seems to be natural food for ducks.
Inland breeders substitute stepped clo-
yer hay or alfalfa and some chop up

Richardson, a former English au-
thority, said the ideal gander has

steadiness of department and breadth

presence of other excellencies.
The American standard of perfec-
ton Classics the weights of geese as

The age of a fowl cannot always be

band all the birds and record kept

No Conviction Likely Otherwise and
Every Person in Community

Atty.-Gen. Owen holds that in order
to convict person under section 1855
of the statutes, which forbids the sell
ing or giving of intoxicating liquors to
a posted person, it is necessary that
written notice be served. The law
originally applied only to saloonkeep-
ers, but was amended later so as to
apply to all persons. Inasmuch as
written notice is required, the attor.
ney general points out that it might
be necessary to serve notice upon ev-
cry person in the community in order
to make it effective.

WANTS GOOD ROADS FOR FARMERS

Nv the good roads movement that the

sueech delivered by Congressman Dor

Road congress at Detroit, that con-
gess and the Wilson administration

terests of the farmers, who need good
wagon roads to bring them closer to

Ten Miners Quit
At South Canon;
Not Much Worry

The effect of the coal strike is be-
ing felt but slightly in Garfield
county and ten men quit at the
South Canon mine Wednesday. The
Vulcan and Midland mines are work
ing forces as large as usual and the
operators have little fear of the
strike affecting their men as every
thing seems satisfactory to them.
The mines of the New Castle belt
are large producers and should they
close by any chance, an immediate
famine would result in that section,
but such is hardly probable now.
