Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from your druggist,
and apply a little Of it night and
morning, and you should soon see that

have not been taxed. Here are the
changes proposed in the act.
1. The state tax commission is Civ
en- full supervision and control of all
assessors and has charge of the as
sessment of both real and personal
property. Under this provision, the
unorganized army of 5400 assessors,
which has been placing many differ
ent valuations on property and been
working without O commander, will
bee placed under the supervision of a
certain authority and all appraise-
ments will be uniform.
2. There will be men in each coun-
ty to give their entire time to the
work OF bringing out property that
has escaped taxation. This will give
opportunity for training persons in
the work Of assessing property.
3. A board of complaint in each
county will replace the board of re-
view, and this will result in a saving.
ALI complaints of taxpayers may be
lodged with this board. Appellate jur-
isdiction is given the state tax COM
mission over rulings by the board Of
complaint.
4. Both real and personal property
will be assessed annually, thus afford
ing an opportunity to correct assess
ments in accordance with ever
changing conditions of property from
year to year. If the Warnes law was
in effect this year, those farmers and
home owners whose properties were
greatly damaged or destroyed by the
recent foods would not be required to
pay taxes on their properties at the
original values until the next quadren-
nial assessment, as they must do un-
der the existing laws.
s. The old provision for self-as-
sessment will be eliminated and all
kinds of property will be assessed by
persons skilled in that line of work.
