SEEKING BETTER
SYSTEM OF TAXATION
Disparity in City and Rural Asses
ments--Facts Worthy Wise
Consideration

Missouri, there are only pension" or
"bonus" counties--that is, counties
that annually draw from the State
Treasury more than they pay in taxes.
These districts are the Second, Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Six
teenth. In some of the counties in
these districts the annual cash rental
of farm lands is greater than the av-
erage assessment for taxes.
State Auditor John P. Gordon has
gathered assessment figures from a
number of the States in the Mississip-
pi Valley in the same general group
as Missouri, showing total valuations
and the rate of taxation for State
purposes This report shows the fol-
lowing:
Illinois, total valuation $2,422, 1861,
952; with rate of 10 cents on the
500 valuation.
Indiana, total valuation $685.
867, 166; with a State rate of SO 2-3
cents on 500.
Iowa, total valuation 1892, 476,912
with a State tax rate of 40 cents on
800.
Kansas, total valuation $780,
$4,000, with a State tax rate of Il
cents on the 500 valuation.
Minnesota, total valuation $780,
100000, with a State tax rate Of
! AZ IL cents per 800 valuation.
Missouri, total valuation $685.,
241, 1877, with a State tax rate of II
cents.
One of the features of this compil
alton is the fact that Kansas has {
larger total valuation than any of the
other States in the group and is with
out single large city.
Missouri Rate Really 10 Cents
| The Capitol building tax of 2 cent,
on the 800 and 1 cent on the $10(
for interest on the seminary anC
school certificates are not included il
the 15-cent rate in Missouri, as they
are fixed and special charges, Levied
independently of the tax for support

In reality, the State tax in Missouri
is only 10 cents on the 500, as one
third of the Is cents designated al
State tax goes for the support of thu
public school system.

Last Monday large delegation
from st. Louis, representing the Bus
mess Mems League, Real Estate Ex-
change and other civic improvement
associations, visited Jefferson City to
discuss the equalization of taxable
valuations with the State Board Of
Equalization. The Republic, comment
ing on the movement, says:
That there can be no immediate re-
suit is conceded, for, under the laws,
there is no chance to go behind the
returns as filed by the County Asses
sors, but it is hoped that there may
be results in the future in the re-
forming of the revenue and taxation
code of the State.
The glaring deficiencies of the pres
ent system are apparent in the fact
that the entire burden of the support
of the State government falls upon
the City of st. Louis, Jackson county
and II other counties. All of the other
counties draw each year out of the
State Treasury much more money than
they pay in.
And in State fairly teeming with
wealth and growing richer by leaps
and bounds, the State Treasury be-
comes more and more cramped for
revenue each biennial period.
The mere statement that such a
populous and wealthy county as JAS
per last year drew from the State
Treasury approximately $4,000 more
than was paid in by that county, is
sufficient to indicate that there is
something radically wrong. with the
present revenue system.
The city of st. Louis and Jackson
county are the largest contributors to
the support of the State government
Last year Jackson county paid in
$275, 1895 more than she drew out
while St. Louis contributed 81 49,
373.43. In other words, the two sup
piled virtually four-fifths of the taxes
paid to keep up the State government
By congressional districts only one
county in the First District, Marion,
paid more into the State Treasury
than she drew out. Pettis was the
only county in the Seventh on the
right side of the ledger, and Cole the
only one in the Eighth.

some of the richest farming lands in

A RAPID FIRE PROGRAM
PREPARED "WHILE YOU WATT

What would you do if upon you
rested the responsibility Of getting
up an entertainment to take the place
of one which had Unexpectedly and
unavoidably gone to smash-while the
audience attending had assembled,
ready to hear the show?
This is just the situation which con-
fronted the program committee of the
Pennington Literary Society last Fri
day night at the High School Auditor
ium.
Owing to the death Of o relative of
one of the debaters, that debater could
not participate. Another one, a min
lister, was required in that home of
sorrow, so he could not debate. That
put the promised and advertised in
ter-society debate wholly out of COM
mission. A singer, also on the pro-
gram, was unfortunately taken i'll, SO
that left the program" consisting of
one number only-an orchestra
specially assembled for the evening,
under direction Of Prof. Hugh Porter,
and expecting to play, as its contribu-
ton to the evening, a couple OF three
"tunes."
And the disquieting information
reached the program committee con-
siderably after six o'clock p. m. Fri
day evening. The committee "got
busy"
The result was that at eight o'clock
the evenings entertainment moved off
with snappy precision, and included a
delightful reading by Miss Cover,
some delicious nonsense perpetrated
with the usual laughter-provoking
Zip" of Carl Trauernicht, and a rare
ly beautiful solo rendered by Mrs.
Nelson, with piano accompaniment by
Miss Henderson.
The orchestra, having no opportun-
ity whatever to rehearse the music
hurriedly provided, proved splendidly
equal to the demands made upon it to
render perfectly "at sight" quite a
number of difficult compositions, all
of which pleased the audience as well
as anything that has ever been given
at the society meetings. Prof. Porter
had chosen from the volunteers
called for, in connection with his reg.
ular meeting of the society, twelve
first class musicians of Pennington
and Flat River, and it is worthy Of
special note that it is possible to as
semble company of trained must
clans able to rescue such balled-uI
situation with such cheerful good ma.
ture and apparently with never g
"blue note" throughout the evening
The debate will be given at some
future time to be announced later, anC
meanwhile the next regular program
of the society, which will be giver
April 7th, is as follows:
Selection-High School Orchestra.
Reading-Master John Henry Tetley
Violin Solo-Miss Henrietta Pease.
Address-Hon. Bert France, County
Farm Agent.
Cello Solo--Miss Lucille Counts.
Dialog--Pupils of Miss Sackman's
room.
Selection-High School Orchestra.
Reading-Master Harry Smith.
Cornet Duet-Miss Myra Dobbins and
Mayford Spence.
Reading-Master Joe Swink.
Vocal Solo-Miss Myrtle Nations.
Selection--High School Orchestra.
Owing to the lack of publicity, or
some other cause, the audience at the
last meeting was very small. 1t is
regrettable that one of the best pro-
grams of the year should be given be-
fore half-a-houseful, but with this ad-
vance announcement of the coming
program it is hoped the attendance
will be materially increased.
