that in the year 1922, the assessed val

Using the increase in the postoff1ce
business for the past ten years as a
fair average of increase, accepting the
population Of Pensacola and suburbs
at $4,000, Pensacola should have a
population of 10000 in 1922.
Incidental facts are: the city has
been authorized to issue bonds to the
extent of 1851, 10000.
The death rate in Pensacola is too

make a grown woman a gown; five
ounces Of shoddy will tog out the body
and then she goes prancing through

sit up and gasp. If this be the fashion
dressmakers should cash in, but that

THE TRAGEDY.

There are those who long to grow,
but can scarcely buy food to sustain
life.
There are those who would design a
garment of perfect beauty, but must
needs struggle to cover nakedness.
There are those who long to sing, but
may not even speak while they toll.
There are those who would declare a
vision if they were given the time to
see it, whose eyes are riveted and held
to grim and unlovely tasks.
There are those who would gladly be-
get and bear helpful children if they
did not need to bear the burden Of
helpless kindred.
There are those who would educate
us all if they were not poorly paid to
teach hundreds.
There are those who would preach
God if they were not kept busy serving
tables.
There are those who would live clean
and true if they had not been born in
filth and dishonor.
This is the tragedy of life enacted
moment by moment, never yet inter
rupted. Some of US do not even sec
it. All Of us permit it to go on.

A FAIR ASSESSMENT.

In this issue Of The Forum Secre-
tary Macfadden of the North Dakota
Bankers Association issues state
ment regarding assessments which
should furnih food for thought. Mr..
Macfadden states that because banks
must keep their business absolutely
in the open, they are forced to pay a
larger percentage Of taxation, than
other enterprises. He states the banks
may have to take the matter into the
! courts.
The taxation problem is one of the
most vexatious that faces tie people
Of North Dakota. Under the present
system, there is much evasion Of tax
alton, but a business like banking,
which is inspected several times year
by state officials, must be kept in the
open and there is absolutely no chance
for evasion.
The Forum takes it, the bankers do
not want chance to evade the law
What they do want is to make the
other fellow "come across" with his
share Of the tax burden. This looks
like only fair proposition.
There should be some method OF
Furnishing tax evasion and when the
public gets fully aroused to the neces-
sity Of more equitable method Of tax
alton, better method will be evolved.
There is one suggestion made by Mr..
Macfadden which should be enforced
at once. The state law says that there
shall be 100 per cent valuation OF
property. This law has been dead
letter for years. Why should it beF
The state would make a much better
showing if the lands and property were
. taxed at their full value, and the bur
den of taxation would not be one cen1

method. On the other hand, The For
UNI believes that if the law was
strictly enforced, and all property as.
sessed at it's full value, the taxation

its decline in Caesars day. Its gov
