Taxing The Land.

Taxation is and has been one Of
the creates, problems of all govern
ments. II taxes were evenly distri-
buted the people would not complain
SO much, even though they realize
that large per cent of the money
paid in taxes is squandered and
sometimes stolen by grating public
officials. In every community there
are to be found certain individuals
who lay awake at night studying how
they can defraud the assessor and
tax gatherer. As rule these ind-
vduals are well able to pay taxes,
but they generally own large lots of
land which they never improve or
develop.
OF late several cities have adopted
what is known as the Somers system
Of assessing property. In every in
stance the system has worked out
well 50 far as equal assessments is
concerned. The great masses find
that their assessments are lowered.
because the Somers system does no,
permit any piece OF property to
escape its proportlonate share Of TAX
alton. The system first takes the
most valuable block IN a city and
fixes the value OF each lot. Upon
this basis all lots are proportiona,ely
assessed. The improvements are
assessed separately. Thi, plan has
been found especially advantageous
IN growing communities, because It
enables the officials to assess all
Improvements at small per cent Of
the full value, leaving the land 70 pay
the biggest part Of the tax. In some
communities the land IS all assessed
at 10 per cent 1i full value.
Improvements are assessed at % per
cent and cash in banks IS exempted.
This method places a premium upon
thrift and enterprise. If you tax
money in bank or it you tax mort
cages you levy tax upon the
borrower, and tie borrowers are the
persons who build cities.
All taxation is presumed 10 be
equal, but it is not. Some contend
that it is unfair and unconstitutional
to tax land at approximately its full
value, while assessing Improvements
at nominal amount. The pro-
ponents OF the system argue that this
Is in fact equal and just taxation be-
cause every person is taxed alike up
on their improvements. II a person
owns vacant land he pays nothing for
improvements, consequently sko, Id
not complain. 1t IS a sort Of single

1t promised TO be a hot campaign
and this cannon was really desired as
much for the Democratic campaign
as for the Fourth and in fact, the
plan to get it here in time for the
Fourth was only incidental to the
campaign plans.
REPUBLICANS SPIKED ir.
1.-The old cannon was kept here
until after November election and
played an important part at several
big Democratic rallies held here dur
ing the campaign said Mr.. Gard
ner. "At Oronogo. some evil
minded Republican shipped up and
spiked it with file and It could not
be used any more until it had been
brought to the Carthage foundry and
the file in the touchhole had been
bored out.
"Finally, the compaign being over,

back to Jefferson City the latter part
OF November. took it through with

could do to get that cannon up some

and my odd load attracted attention
continually wherever | went. was
frequetly asked to shoot it off and I
generally complied. At one farm
house one evening, an old farmer
gave me my supper for shooting the
cannon in front Of his house. That
was the only time sho, it outside of
the towns. At Versailles the town
marshal had me bring the cannon up
into the business center and shoot
her off, told him it might damage
things, but he said that they would
stand all damage.
TOWN HIRED HIM TO SHOOT.
"1herc was big store there with
Odd Fellows hall above it. 1t was
the biggest building in town. The
marshal hauled me up directly in
frount OF this store and told me to
load her heavy and shoot her off,
did so, putting in lots OF powder
and plenty Of wet paper and rammed
her hard. When that gun wen, off,
every window in the big building
was shattered and a lot of windows
in other buildings. too. 1t was esti-
mated that 5000 worth Of damage
was lone.
"No matter they said, we can
stand it, | suppose that after that
they thought they must get their
moneys worth, 50 they hauled the
cannon off to one side OF town, gave
me a SO bill and told me T. enjoy
