The True Christmas

IT'S beautiful custom this Christmas
Remembering each old friend,
With some little tardy memento
Which takes with it love without end;
'Tis sweet to be thus held in memory
By one you hold close to your heart,
But at Yuletide let's not be forgetting
That the gifts are but one little part.
There's far grander, holier lesson
To be CLEANED from this season of cheer
1t isn't just jewels that are craved for
BY the ones to whom we are near.
Give kindness and love and assistance,
Not only to body, but soul,
And you'll find that you're drawing
much closer
To the seasons significant goal.
Give a word of sweet solacing comfort
To those who are laden with woe,
Give sympathy where you can mete it
Hold no such thing as foe;
Send some little glimmer of sunshine
To the lives that are far from the light
'Tis then that you'll know the full
meaning
OF that star that shone forth in the
night.-Ex.

TAX GRAND Jury
WILL SOON REPORT
Exhaustive Report, Covering
Months of Work, May Be
Ready This Week.

The grand jury. which, under in
structions Of the Hastings Court. has
been investigating alleged tax delin-
quencies in Richmond FOR some months.
VIII probably complete its labors this
week and file Its final report with the
court. The grand jury meets this after
noon, when few more witnesses are
TO be examined. The preparation of
the report will probably occupy sew
crni days. While IL does not seem to
he anticipated that indictments as n
result of the inquiry will be returned
the report Will be exhaustive, stating
the facts rs they were found to exist
AS one result of the Inquiry, an enor-
nous amount has been added to the
tax rolls of the city and State, the
grand jury having offered practical
immunity to those who would come
forward and add to their lists of tax
able values. OF even greater value.
however. has been the added informa-
tion on tax matters. II being the opin-
Ion OF the grand jury that many OF
the deiinQuentS were not deliberate
tax dodgers. but that they were igno-
rant Of the classes OF personal prop
crty subject to taxation. In making
the assessment for 1913, Commissioner
of the Revenue Tresnon has given spe-
cial instructions to his deputies to in
form all citizens In this regard, so
that In any future inquiry ignorance
cannot be pleaded. and those found
by future investigation to be delin-
Quent will be indicted,
One result OF the careful and pains
taking work of the grand jury has
been to make more uneven than here
tofore the burden OF taxation now
resting on this city. Even before at
tention was called to the apparent
practice of lodging taxation, Rich
mond was bearing mucn more than it's
proportionate share OF the expenses
of the State.
Grand juries in many OF the counties
charged with investigation of tax mat
ters only spent Il day or two in the
work, giving IT only a most superficial
investigation, with the result that in
cities and counties wnere proper in
Quiry has been made an even great
cr injustice will be done this year in
the matter of carrying more than tho
proportionatc amount OF the expenses
of the State. Officials say that the
only remedy for this condition lies In
the General Assembly. which will be
asked to take drastic steps to bring
those counties not contributing their
proper share to the support of the gov
eminent to time, thus relieving the un-
just burden that now falls on few
cities and counties.
