The New Orleans assessor reports two

OF course, the reports of relation OF
assessed to true value which develop
these preposterous results are false and
worthless. Instead Of Washington
realty being assessed at a two-thirds
rate as compared with three-1uarters
valuation in New Orleans and full Salu-
alton in Cincinnati and Newark. the
true relation will place Washington at
a comparative 100 per cent and the
other cities at small fractions of full
valuation.
The truth which 1 am urging is taught
not merely by q few selected cities. but
by the entire list. Compare the re-

Geo. o. Blake, in the West Slope.
At the outbreak of the war, a near
pshlc occurred among some Of our manu-
fscturers. They discovered that much
of the raw msterisl they uesd came
from Germany. Our steel manufac-
turers depended on Germany for ferro-
Manganese. The textile manufacturers
got the dye from Germany. Electrical
manufacturers got their carbons and
filsments from Germany. Cyanide is .
by-product Of German potash manufsc-
ture. Numerous other chemicals used
in manufacture came from Germany.
Now the source of supply is cut off and
it is realized that all these things can be
and should be produced in our own
country. The largest known deposit of
manganese is in the south part of Gun
nison county wholly undeveloped be-
cause of the all-hog policy Of ID. & r. G.
and the C. +. 4 |. Near by are noun
tains of iron, also undeveloped. Potash
will produce cyanide in this country as
well as in Germany. All the products
of coal tar, and they are legion, can be
produced in this country rs well as in
Germany. Since we have the material
for practically every purpose we should
develop our own resources. A writer
in the New York Evening Post says:
'The extraordinary commercial incl
dents of the war will teach our business
community more lessons than one. They
will learn to utilize their own products
and the ingenuity of their own home
experts to provide the small articles of
manufacture whose production they
have been surrendering to Europe.
Necessity may develop many profitable
industries At home producing many
articles hitherto supplied by the pau
per labor of Europe" despite robber
protective" tariff in force for many
years. This fable teaches" that you
can t most always sometimes tell.
