Full Value Assessment.

It should be quite clear that full val
ue assessment has no relation to high
taxes. Only school districts, town
meetings, village and county boards,
common councils and the legislature
can levy taxes. If the assessed value
is low the rate will be high, and if the
assessed value is high the rate will be
low, unless the officers administering
the affairs of the city decide for any
reason to keep the rate the same even
though the assessed value is increased.
That, however, is not the fault of the
assessor. The amount to be raised is
determined independently of the as
sessment and remains the same ii
either case.
The apportionment of the state tax
to the counties is made on the basis OF
the full value of the property deter.
mined by the Tax Commission as stated
above and the apportionment of the
state and county tax to the cities
towns and villages in each county i
likewise apportioned on such full value
The assessment of the local assessor il
no way affects the amount of the coun
" and state tax that is apportioned Z
his district.

Edison is not prejudiced against to-
bacco. He uses the weed himself, but
draws the line tightly against cigar
cites. He has tabooed the use of Gig
arettes by his employees, on the ground
that they dull the brain. This is the
testimony of school teachers who have
observed the effect of cigarette smok-
ing by their pupils. There seems to be
a unanimity of opinion among people
who have to do with boys and young
men that the smoking of cigarettes is
mentally facilitating and demoralizing.
Under the circumstances there is one
surely safe course for young men who
want to get on, and that is to have
nothing to do with cigarettes.

The New York Press says that
dyed shoes are dangerous-tha people
who have brown shoes turned into
black shoes may be obliged to spend
more money for doctors bills than
would buy them dozen pairs of shoes.
This is because the coloring material
said to be usually employed for chang
ing tan shoes to black shoes by a single
application is analine black, which is
absorbed by the pores of the feet,
causing blood poisoning. 1t might be
well for official vigilance to take cog
nizance of this matter. If analine
black is as dangerous as the Press says
it is when used in this way, health de-
partments should get busy and protect
the people.

FACTORY GIRLS AND NEGRO
CONCERNED IN ROTTEN CASE
Two fften-year-old factory girls
who claimed they sold themselves
for few dollars to bring home will
be the principal witnesses against
Robert Brown, an aged negro, who
was arrested in his home, 1910 w.
Kinzie street, Saturday morning.
By the arrest of Brown the police
believe they have uncovered a Verit-
able den in which little white girls
were lured to their ruin by the negro
in exchange for money.
The negTO's discovery came
through the disappearance of Cath
crime GOngola, Is, Alt N. Elizabeth
street. The girl was absent from her
home for a week.
The police finally found her in the
home Of the negro. She at first tear
fully denied that she had done any
thing wrong, but later broke down
and admitted she had been with the
negro all the time she had been alb
sent from home.
The police then made an investiga-
ton and found that Bertha Wojtlik,
1858 Fry street, had also been in the
negro's home. Detectives who work
ed on the case believe they will find
nine other UndeTpaid girls who sold
themselves to Brown for the price of
a new dress.
