suppcsition is demonstrated when we
realize that the prices for sales OF
land are in all cases merely q cOmpr0-
mise between the individual opinions
of the purchaser and seller, and that
each piece of land represents a par

Reason for Condemnation.
1t is due to this absence of a defin-
tie standard OF value, that the assess
ment of city land for taxation is al
most universally condemned as IN
equal and unjust. The work may be
the honest, conscientious opinion of
the assessor. but il Is open to criticism
by every other citizen, each of whom
has the same right in his opinion as
the assessor. AS ii is human nqtufa

Quotes from Expert.
One of the most effective presenta.
tons OF this subject was made in 1917
hy Tax Commissioner Edward L. Hey
decker of New York City before the
Los Angeles meeting of the National
Municipal league. and | shall quote
to some extent, from his address in
attempting to draw a comparison be-
tween taxation. with special reference
to real property, and its relation to
municipal revenues and expenditures.
improvements Enhance Values.
Municipal revenue is very largely
made up of the proceeds of taxes lev.
led on real estate, that is to say, on
land and the improvements thereon.
The proportion of revenue coming from
a direct tax on real property has grad.
ually increased until in many cities
this constitutes almost the only source
of municipal revenue from direct tax
alton. At the same time we find ear.
nest effort being made to provide state
revenue from other sources, so that
the direct tax on real estate may be
left to the municipality. While the
tendency is to put the main burden
of local taxation upon real estate, this
is justifiable since the benefit from
the proper expenditure of municipal
revenue is reflected promptly in real
estate values. These expenditures do
not add to the value of any particular
building, but only to the value Of
sites, but they do cause a much great
er demand for buildings and in conse-
Quence the number is increased. These
site values mount with each dollar pro-
perly expended in any civic betteTmont
or civic activity, and grow much more
rapidly than the expenditures for
such proposes. We are here. OF
course, assuming that the revenue
raised by this taxat on is both econom-
ically and efficiently expended. In all

According 20 the May report OF E.
N. Ehrhorn, superintendent OF ento-

on with the Silvestri parasites intro

Much Of my time has been given
TO the distribution OF parasites Of the

up the breeding of all parasites which
DIR. Silyestri brought, as well as the
two species Mr.. FallIaway brought

during the present fruit season.

AT THE BURTIS.

I Inc forthcoming appearance at the
! Burtis opera house, Davenport, Mon
! day, Dec. IS, of Mile. Anna Pavlowa,
the famous Russian danseuse, assisted
| by a picked troupe of Russia's great
est ballet and solo dancers, will be an
event Of unusual interest to lovers OF
the dance art and the music art. for
Mile. Pavlowa dances to the music
played by a complete and most exact
ingly competent symphony orchestra
under the leadership of Theodore
| Stier Mr.. Stier has a reputation in
the music and art centers of Europe
as one of the ablest conductors of the
day, and his direction of the famous
.Beckstein Hall orchestra is almost
too well known to need comment.
Pavlowa's music is the most beau.
tiful of the Russian classics. AS in
terpreted by the orchestra under Mr..
STEERS direction the music alone is a
satisfying program in itself. Added to
this is Pavlowas series o. divertisse-
ments and ballets and her exposition
of the modern society or ballroom
dances which she has standardized
and some of which she has originated
al the request OF social and club lead
ers of New York and other leadiIcr
cities. Novelty will be the keynote
OF Pavlowa's program which is most
comprehensive and alluring because it
includes everything of Z terpsichor
can nature from the Greclan classics
like the Moment Musicale" the Rus
sian classical ballets, interpretative
numbers and the very modern waltz, |
and ether ballroom dances Pavloyy,

the world. The setting is an exact
replica of one of the most beautiful
bathrooms in Europe. During the
soiree Mile. Pavlowa will not only in
troduce her own three new society
dances, but she and her company will
also demonstrate what she thinks is
the proper way to dance in ball
room. The soiree will be original. to
say the least. and artistic and grace
full in every way. 1t will have a par

you are a real vaudeville fan. Coogan

both performers are men-that you
will say are about the funniest you

that almost convulsed his audience.
COogan and Cox are a couple of smart

one of the neatest you will see in a
vaudeville house. Frawley and Hunt
are European athletes who brought

that will make you sit up right off the
jump and hold your attention to its
close. Then there are Galetti's mon

seen. There are the usual good pic
