The rural mail carriers throughout
the country are rejoicing over their in
crease of salary which will go into eff
feet July /, 1914 After that date
their compensation will be $1,000 year.
This salary may not be as attractive as
one might imagine, for the reason that
it is not all clear gain. The carrier has
to support at least two horses and keep
his vehicles in repair. The present in
crease in salary was due to the large
amount of mail matter caused by the
parcel post. Postmasters are also bur
dened with the handling Of more mai
matter but thus far their salary has
not increased, but in many Offices de-
creased in proportion TO the amount Of
mail handled.

How Rich, How Poor?

The following was written to the
Dodgeville Chronicle by r. w. Theo-
bald of Brigham on taxes:
"How rich can man be in notes and
mortgages and not pay any tax and how
poor can man be in personal property
and real estate end pay $3.50 tax?
"a has wife and five children and
owns in notes and mortgages S44, 900,
drawing five per cent. Taking out his
exemptions, he can own in notes and
mortgages, $44,O 900 and not pay one
dollar in tax toward the supporting Of
schools, building highways or any other
public enterprise.
con the other hand, b has wife
and five children to support. He buys
farm from A Of 300 acres at 800 per
acre, which would make $50, 900 paya-
bic to A for the farm, drawing interest
at so. pays A IS, 600 down and puts
&. 900 in stock. He is now practically
worth $1,000. A holds the mortgage
for 1920 with a debt of S25, 900
against the place. A then receives an
nually from B $3.50 for interest. B
has to pay $3.50 year tax for the
building of highways, supporting Of
schools and other public institutions.

ments but not Intentionally, and if

press, will correct me. Us there any

Most folks forget that the kidneys,

GROWERS ASSN
HITS FREE WOOL
Declare That New Jersey Is
Aligned Against Nevada
and Arizona.

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 15.-The
new tariff placing wool on the free
list was held up to criticism when
the delegates of the National Wool
Growers Association marked the
f1ftieth year of the associations ex-
istence at their annual convention
here today.
The address by the president of the
organization, Frank j. Hagenbarth,
pointed out that for the third time
in a century of national progress the
f7ockmaster faces free and unlimited
competition in the production of
wool against the whole world" that
previous experiences had proven the
woolgrowers' inability to withstand
thes hook, and that the outcome of
the present experiment was doubt
full.
THE flockmaster is reduced" he
said, ito the necessity of striving on
unequal terms with the half-clad saw
age of South Africa and Asea, the
peon of South America and the skilled
producer of New Zealand and Austria
liza, whose fiocks are shorn under the
fostering care of their respective gov
ernments. Like Napoleon, after the
battle of Waterloo, the shepherd faces
the necessity o forganizing his broken
battalians for last stand against
hopeless odds. However, it is an
American characteristic never to say
quit
In analysis of the tariff he declared
that it was decidedly an alignment
of the East and South against the
West" and asserted that 80 per cent.
of the products of New Jersey would
be found on. the dutiable list, where
as but per cent. of the products of
Arizona and II per cent. of the pro-
ducts of Nevada were so favored"

Mothers who cling to the old form of

TAX COMMITTEES
TASK A BIG ONE
Members of Summit Council
Wondering How to Get at
Unequal Assessments.

SUMMIT, Jan. 15.-Just how to ap-
proach the task of ascertaining in
equalities in tax assessments is a
problem which appears to still con-
front the members of the tax assess
ment investigating committee ap-
pointed by Common Council.
The committee has held several ses-
sions, but at last nights meeting the
members were agreed that they are
not yet properly under way. The COM
mittee did, however, find one piece of
property In going over the tax map
which had been assessed at $4,000
and which is said to have cost $4,000.
This case is to be probed further.
Taking properties in Hobart ave-
nue., the committee found that nine
and quarter acres of land owned by
Carroll P. Bassett is assessed at $19,-
20O and his home at $4,000; the John
ii. W1sner property, containing nine
and one-half acres, at $4,000 and the
residence $4,000; Henry B. Twombly.
one and six-tenths acres. $500 and
the house $4,000; William Scofield
Day property, lot 236x251 $4,000 and
the house at $500; Risk estate, land,
nineteen and one-half acres, 11,700;
no buildings.
The land and house of J. w. Crom-
well, in Beekman road, is assessed
at $1,000 and $4,000 respectively. The
Bassett and Cromwell properties are
the two highest assessed in the city.
With this data the subcommittee of
the committee will proceed to pass
upon the physical nature of the prop
critics in an effort to determine
whether Unequal or unfair assessments
have been levied.
Miss Mary Kihm in a letter to Bert
e. Underwood asked whether she was
not being assessed at higher rate
for her property in Essex road than
were others in the neighborhood. Miss
Kihnfs assessment is $323.40 on a lot
with $50 feet frontage in Essex road.
The matter was filed for further con-
sideration. In response to a COM
munication from Councilman Edward
G.. Pringle, Benjamin v. White wrote
that he would gladly appear before
the committee and give such data as
he can relative to the assessment and
value of the William H. Risk estate
Mr.. White is to be asked to appear
before the committee later. Former
President of Common Council Thomas
M. Debevoise, who appointed the tax
assessment investigating committee
sent communication in which he
wrote that Assessor Stephen r. Null
len, who resigned as a member of the
committee and who is now in the
South, had agreed to withdraw his
resignation and continue on the COM
mittee. The next meeting of the COM
mittee will be held Thursday evening,
January %.

Summit Police Seek Stolen
Auto Shoes in Long Island
Especial to the Newark start

SUMMIT, Jan. 15.--Chief of Police
George w. Brown and Emanuel An
derson, proprietor of the Anderson
Garage, left today for Long Island,
where it was reported that traces of
four automobile shoes, valued at $3.50,
which were stolen here last Tuesday,
had been found.
The shoes were stolen from the au-
tomobile belonging to John II. Scha-
fer, a jewelry manufacturer of New
ark. Mr.. Schafer had been driven in
his car to the Board of Trade rooms.
He ordered the chauffeur to wait for
him outside. 1t is alleged that while
he was gone a man known as David
Holdfellow, working in cooperation
with the chauffeur, stole the shoes
from the auto. No trace has been
found of the two men.
