SCOTT CO., TAXES
RAISED Then CUT
County Court Carves About
$4,000 off Farmers
Land.

Benton, Mo-, April 24.-The County
Court today ordered a reduction of
twenty per cent in the valuation placed
upon the farm lands of Scott county
this year by the Board OF Equalization,
which made its report last week.
When the County Court convened
today, d large delegation of farmers
were on hand to enter a protest
against the increase in property valu
atoms in this county. The Board of
Equalization raised the valuations
S639 600 over last year, which repre-
sentcd taxation only on farm land.
The farmers, through their attor-
neys, made a demand for a twenty
per cent reduction, but it was present
ed to the court in the nature Of post
pOnement in the order OF the Board OF
Equalization. The farmers asked that
the reduction be granted only for this
year, and that the twenty per cent be
added for the year 1917. The request
was made by farmers living in the
drainage district, and who are com.
PEELED TO pay q regular drainage tax.
The County Court, composed Of
Judges Tomlinson, Thomas and Bow
man, informed the farmers that the
court could not grant the decrease
until it allowed the same reduction of
land valuations on land located out
side Of the drainage district.
The court finally agreed to a cut of
twenty per cent in the increased valu-
alton, provided the reduction did not
bring the county revenue to a sum
less than was collected last year. If
It becomes apparent that the revenue
vii! be less than last year, the County
Court will order the taxation increased
to cover the deficit. The reduction
applies to all Of the farm land in Scott
County.
The increase assessed by the Board
of Equalization aggregates $8.2S1, $50
or city and county assessments, but
this will be reduced about $4,000 by
the ruling of the County Court today,

INCUBATOR FIRE
BURNS FARMHOUSE
Explosion Occurs as Chicks
Hatch -Neighbors Find
Blaze.

When an incubator exploded while
busy Matching some Easter chicks late
Friday night, ire was started that
completely destroyed the old home of
Philip Sebastian OH farm about a
half mile from GorGonyille.
Neighbors saw the blaze from a dis
tan"c five miles away and drove rap
idly to the Sebastian homestead in an
effort to aid i'll fighting the flames.
The fire had obtained too great lead
over the men who formed bucket
brigade, however, and the efforts of
thc volunteer fircmen were directed TO
saving the new residence Of Mr.. Sc
bastian.
Some time ago NJ. Sebastian com
pleted a fine new home on his farm.
This building is situated about so feet
from the old homestead that has been
on the place for many years. The
family had moved into the new resi-
dencc but Il comparatively short time
ago.
The old home since that time has
been used as house for incu5ators
and other paraphernalia connected
with chicken raising on the farm.
About II o'clock Friday night, when
I'll the members Of the Sebastian fam
ily were asleep, one of the lamps in
an incubator exploded. The flames
burned through the house rapidly and
soon developed the place.
The fire first was seen by a neigh
boz, who aroused the Sebastian family
by telephone. They then telephoned
to various other ncighbors, arOusing
them and urging them to 20 to the aid
of the men at the Sebastian home.
The old home is total loss. Seven
ty-iye newly Matched chicks were
destroyed in the blaze and one side of
the new house was badly scorched by
the heat from the fire. None was in
iured in fighting the flames.

Notes From Gideon
Gideon, Mo-, April 20.


That ''ncws" is scarce in this lOcali-
ty is truly Illustrated by the following
Item of interest" handed to your cor
respondent late this afternoon by the
city's chief "wag" over on Idlerow:
MIR. Shy, the congenial and whole
souIed brakeman on the Gulf line of
the Frisco, stepped off the train as
usual when it stopped here on its
regular run today"
Mr.. Bell, c. & AS best stavc cutter
and who has been with them for a
great many years, has for some reason
decided to seek a position elsewhere.
Mrs. L. NJ. Sarff has been danger
opsly III during the past week. Her
sister from Decatur, H., arrived here
today.
There has been considerable talk of
constructing a rock road from this
place to Clarkton, distance of about
three miles. No more progressive step
than that could be taken, for that is
our only way out except by rail. If
We consider the amount Of land that
is being rapidly opened up, knowing
as we do the conditions of the roads
in the wet seasons, there can be no
reasonable excuse for the failure of
such d movement.
Mrs. Keller, of Maiden, has organ
lied : class in Voice here. She has
studied in several of our leading uni
versities, and is we'll known through
out Southeast Missouri.
| Even in a small town like Gideon
| il is sometimes necessary to pass
ordinances bearing not only upon sani-
tary conditions, or rather upon unsani-
tary conditions, but also along other
lines where demoralizing influences
are at work. For example: It not in
frequently happens that our city-bred
swine find pleasure in using our side
walks. Now, personally. | have no
serious objections to stepping off the
walk to let hog pass by, but l find
that great majority Of our people
try to stand slightly above the aver
age hog, and very naturally they are
growing resentful Of swinish encroach-
ments. Let's do something with Mr..
Hog. or take to the sttects ourselves.

EOUALIZERS LISTEN
TO TAXPAYER KICKS
Revise Four Assessments in Cape
DOwnward-Many Farmers
Heard.

The Board of Equalization which
met yesterday at Jackson was the
back-stop for complaints from virtual
ly every section Of the County where
advances had been made in the assess
ments against property for taxation
this year.
Mayor Rage and H. 2. Gaines, city
assessor, attended the Boards DELHI
erations on the first day, when COM
plants about advances made in the
Cape were heard. But four petitions
for reductions were made upon ad-
vanccs that had been authorized in
this city.
DR.. G. 3. Schultz and w. H. BONN
sack ST., asked a reduction to their
former assessments, which were al
lowed. Mrs. Orren Wilson asked that
tke assessment on her home at Broad
way and Boulevard, which is owned by
Mrs. Wilson's mother, be reduced.
The Board advanced it from $3.50 to
$500, and on her petition reduced the
figure to $1,000.
A Mrs. Younger also petitiOncd for
6 reduction. Her property had been
raised from $500 to $1,000 and was set
back to $3.50 by the Board.
Several reductions were made in the
assessments against farms by the
Board. However, none went back to
their original figures.
