AS TO STATE TAXATION

AS to the taxes levied by the county
and state the same principle applies
as has been discussed in The Times
Recorder relative to municipal taxes.
These taxes are not being given IN
for the amounts which they in a J
reason should represent
A vital question confronts the peo-
pie of the various counties and the
state as a whole relative to the al
justment of the equalization of taxes.
There is no justice at all in the pres
ent system, as property is undervalue1
in many cases, while often those who
are least alb to pay are the ones who
bear the heaviest burdens.
There should be some rational and
effective method of fixing these taxes
A state board Of assessors, practically
removed from the favoritism that is
shown by local assessors, has bean
suggested This plan would probably
give excel ent results. 1t would have
many points of merit, probably Il
would prove as effective a plan as
could be found
This, or some other effective plan
should certainly be adopted for the
purpose of gaining something like
adequate tax returns for the county
and state. The present method q
fixing individual taxes is obsolete
primitive in it's entirety. There shou d
be some competent authority outside
the individual involved, to form de-
Gliding factor in the fixing OF taxes
When this or similar rational meth.
cd is employed, the county and state
will be the gamers both in funds an
in self respect.

The attorney general has advised that

for the hoboes, and that strict ap-
plication to a few tramps wod md
the trouble
At Clay Center Saturday about TWEEN
ty tramps were collected in he CT
park. When the city marshal walked
down and asked why they were there
the tramps said they wanted work and
expected farmers to come in and take
them home in the afternoon.
When the farmers were sent to the
little park the tramps asked how the
wages would be.
I'm paying $3.50 day and good
board and bed to sleep in one far,nCr
replied.
Nothing doing said the ho1o.s
I'VE won't work for less than So a
day"
Some of the farmers held a little con-
ference and went hack and offered 50
a day, bat the price had raised to
$3.50, and when that was offered it
went up to $4
Then one hobo said to a farmer.
Say, mister, is your field rolling or
broken?"
On being told that the fed was roll
ing, the hobo came back with:
Well then. roll it in here and we
will harvest it here"
That broke the temper Of the farm
ers and they told the city marshall
about the treatment they had received,

In little note to Senator the Pres

Mr.. Balfour, ex-Premier of Great

that he depended on weeklies.
President Wilson does not rail at
