II. II. Sayre of the Dt3a?a or com
raly may not Dc > lege professor,
| but he knows how to do some figuring
that counts. He began to make fig
ures on the Desada runs. The well is
making, We will say, so barrels. The
daily run would be about Il barrels.
That would make Sc day at soc
barrel. Take half of that in scrip
and that would leave So a day. Pay
the royalty out of that and pay the
expense of the pump station out of
that, and the Desada woul2 be spend
ing more money each day than it
would be taking in. These figures
convinced Mr.. Sayre that the Desada
people wanted a change of some kind
or they would better trade their oil
well off for dog and get a police
man and kill the dog. That would
not be very profitable, and the next
thought that came was to ask the
producers and the pipe line people to
set a minimum amount to be run
from each lease, and that agreement
was made to allow each lease to run
at least so barrels day The Okla
homa City correspondent of the Dal-
las News evidently made an error in
his report. 1t is not the intention
to interfere in any way with the pro-
rating of oil among the big COM
panies, but a change was made with
reference to the leases that have
but a small production.

with the law. If he does this he will
OF course step ON the raw corns of a
good many influential tax dodgers
unmerited abuse, but even so he will
finish his job with clear conscience
and with the pleasant assurance that
every taxpayer in his district has re-
ceived square deal. Every assess
or who performs his duty as he has
sworn to do it, in strict accordance
with the law, lis entitled not only to
the communication but ito the active
assistance of every good citizen.
But If the assessor is to expect ODE
dIience to the law on the part of the
taxpayer he must himself obey the
law. All property must be assessed
law regardless of the effect it may
have on totals or averages. Land
worth one hundred dollars per acre
must be assessed for twice as much
as land worth fifty dollars, and a
horse worth two hundred dollars must
be assessed for twice as much as a
horse worth one hundred dollars. In
short, value is the sole and only basis
for assessing property this year The
strict enforcement of the law means
the most equitable assessment this
county has had lin all it's history. The
enforcement of the law is primarily
with the assessor; it is expected and
believed THAT each and every assessor
OF the county wiM see that it lis en-
forced, for only in this way can he
discharge his important duties with
his oath of office

seek to evade it. Unfortunately there
are in every community men who by
one dishonest device or another evade
every tax that they can. 1t is this
class of citizens who make the bur-
den of taxation harder than it should
be for honest taxpayers because every
dollar of taxes which by tricky and
dishonest methods the tax dodger gets
out of paying must be made UP by the
less favored and more honest taxpay-
ers of the community.
On June 4th, 1913, the bank depos-
it's OF Marshall county amounted to
$2,297 ,288.O1 while the assessment of
rlcney and credits was $621,S89 or
27.1 per cent of the bank deposits
The city of Warren had 1857, 728.59 in
bank deposits at that time, while the
assessment of money and credits in
the city was only $24S,405, or about
SO / per cent of the bank deposits
When one considers that money
and credits" consist not only of bank
deposits but of money in hand, book
accounts, promissory notes and all
other evidences of debt not secured
by recorded real estate mortgages in
this state, it is painfully evident that
the law has BEEN shamefully violated.
The tax commission will aid assess
crs by every means in it's power to
enforce all laws Relating to the as
sassment of property. Evasiions and
false statements will no longer be to-
lerated Under the law it is gross
misdemeanor, punishable by fine or
Imprisonment, to make false state
fnent, oral or written, to an assessor.
Whenever false statement made by
a taxpayer is called to the attention
of the tax commission the matter will
be placed in the hands of the county
attorney for prosecutions Rich and
poor alike must now obey the assess
ment laws, for only in this way can
Justice in taxation be attained
Tt is the shame of our age in mat
ters of taxation that Those bear It
most who least complain" and that
tax lodging is resorted to most by the
very people who are best able to pay.
Much can be done to better these con
ditions if assessors will perform their
duties without fear or favor and in
strict accordance with the law.
There is no longer any Justification
for a taxpayer failing to give the as
SCISSOR full and fair return of all his
personal property, including money
and credits. Every good citizen will
do this voluntarily, and the assessor,
if he does his duty, will require every
other citizen to do it.
The assessor in doing his work
should have no enemies to punish and
NO friends to reward and should per.
form every duty in strict accordance

OHIO MAYOR IMPRESSED.
Most Of city's Refuse Carried Away

Regular Force Of Nearly Thousand
Cleaners.

With almost every city and town in
the United States preparing for its
spring cleaning, attention has been at
tracted to the methods Of cleaning
house adopted by the important cities
of Europe.
In no European town perhaps are
the methods more interesting than in
the thriving German city Of Hamburg,
where carefully trained children help
to keep the city beautiful. Writing
from that place, United States Consul
Robert p. Skinner says that the mayor
of one of the large cities Of Ohio who
visited Hamburg was much impressed
with the important part performed by
the children in keeping the city clean.
He departed from the city, Mr. Skin
ner says, convinced that the cleaning
of streets and sidewalks in Germany
is a much lighter task than in cities
Of the same size in the United States
because Of the orderly habits Of the
people themselves.
Suction street sweeping Devices
continues Mr.. Skinner, ARE practical
" unknown in Germany. Hamburg
itself owns horse drawn sweepers only.
although for about nine months two
electric motor sweepers have been in
use. These, however, do not yet be-
long to the city and are being employ
ed experimentally. They have not Civ
en- satisfaction and have been under
repair more than three months. These
motor driven sweepers fail to work
well in this city because the pave
ments, as rule, are not very smooth,
and the mechanism Of the sWeepers is
deranged by the shaking it receives.
Recently the front wheels Of these
sweepers have been provided with rub
