new railway, bur the greater amount
of the increase in the assessed valua-
ton of railroads lis caused by raises
in old mileage.
The decrease. in the assessed valu-
atoms Of telegraph property is caused
by the fact that in 1913 a large rail
way mileage was assessed with tele.
graph property, while there was no
telegraph line in operation along
such lines.
Within the Limit.
For the first time since 1895, the
levy for state purposes has been kept
within the constitutional limit by vGe
state board of equalization. In 1896
the levy for General Fund was three
and eight-tenths mills, with five.
tenths of a mill for state bond inter
est-thers were no special levies at
that time.
In 1897 the Especial levy idea was
discovered and one-tenth of a mill
wa provided to pay wolf bounty. In
1901 two new Specials" were added,
the educational institution tax, and a
levy to provide. funds to pay the asy-
lum bonds, and the levy that year for
state purposes totaled Z mills-the
largest levy for state purposes in the
history OF the state.
In 1914 the levy for General Fund
has been reduced to three mills, but
laws are found providing for six spe.
cial taxes, which if levied as pre-
scribed, and in violation of the Con-
stituticn, would exceed the levy for
state purposes 47-100 of a mill.
The reduction of 47-19O Of a mill
will reduce the amount of state taxes
to be paid in the sum of $4,000.

Take up the Congressional Records
day after day and its pages are tillet
with arguments and suggestions OF
how to curb and harass business
and only here and there are encour
agements offered for business tt
launch out upon fresh conquests.
Now is the time to give bushes;
assistance rather than to induce re
tardation. Antitrust laws and al
legislation tending to unsettle bust
ness conditions can wait until the
present crisis passes. There are
enough laws curtailing industry to
protect the public against raids of SO
called "big business"
Congressman Mann, speaking in the
House recently, summed the situation
up we'll, in answer to the o%ratorical
TRADES on business:
with England, France, Ger
many and Russia involved in a
great European war, with other
countries participating in a lesser
degree, so far as numbers are
concerned, we haze the Opportun-
ity now by wise legislation to en-
courage our own people to build
manufacturing institutions, to
erect factories and enter upon
new enterprises, to make Amer.
lea Independent practically Of
foreign aid in commerce, and to
give us an inlet into every for
eign commerce with our nan
featured articles. But instead Of
rising to the occasion, instead of
understanding the situation, in
stead of giving encouragement to
those who are willing to invest
their money in these enterprises,
we are doing everything we can
to threaten and demoralize trade,
to hold the penitentiary over men
who invest capital, and to make
men fear.
1.-THE country today is in a con-
s dition of fear. We have more
currency in circulation than ever
before, and less credit. With
more money in the land, it is
harder to get. It comes through
fear largely, through threats of
legislation.
Men do not invest in enter
prises merely for the love of in
vestment. They hope to makeea
profit. Without the expectation
of reward business is not under
taken. A new factory Will never
be constructed unless someone be-
lieves that there is a chance to
make money by it. But we seem
to be legislating upon the theory
that Notwithstanding all that we
do to prevent business, business
will go on as usual.
Germany extended her foreign
trade and increased her home
production in a greater degree
during a few years than has ever
any other country of the world.
How did she do it? Not by threat
ening to put everybody in Jail ,
who invested money. She en-
couraged business. | think it
would be a very good time for us,
with the world conditions as they
are now, to stop trying to ham, .
per business and to legislate so
that we may increase our bust
ness and add to the prosperity
of our land and of our people.

TO TEST TAR DUST EFFECT.

New York Expert In Paris to Study In
jury to Trees.
Mr.. w. 4. Murrill. assistant director
of the New York botanical gardens. has
gone to Europe to find out if tar dust
really Injuries shade trees. A commit
tee appointed to investigate the prob
lem in Paris has reported that it does.
If DR.. Murrill's Investigations confirm
this it will be necessary to change the
park policy Of New York. Suburban
towns along the main highways also
will be affected because of the tar
placed in the roadways to make them
smoother for automobile traffic.
Before sailing DR.. Murrill said that
he was going to Paris with a perfectly
unbiased mind, He had never heard Or
seen anything that would make him
believe that tar dust hurt New iOrk's
trees. but he admitted tar had a great
many poisonous properties.
