There are Jewish young girls who
avoid, if possible, walking on the
street with their poor old mother, be-
cause her dialect may be foreign,
and because she may not, according
to their false idea of life, measure
up to the standard of the present;
there are Jewish boys, bright and
quick and dapper in dress and man
ners, who openly show that they are
ashamed of their father, because he
is not swell guy and because his
occupation, in their noble mind, is
a humble one.
Among the younger set in our
cities we have those who actually
hesitate, or refuse, to acknowledge
a worthy Jewish acquaintance when
among their own swagger crowd,
because they seem to fear that such
social connections might cause them
to fall in the estimation of their

Net indebtedness ... S3, 246, 04419 Property Assessment for Taxation

Property Assessment for Taxation. This most important function of l our government has been allowed to drift along without a great deal of attention or system and certainly without equality, and yet, it is here where our revenue must be derived to conduct our government.
 Inequalities in assessment for tax ation are harmful and productive Of a pessimistic, dissatisfied citizenship.
 We must approach the subject from a fundamental standpoint and evolve a system which will be man. ifestly fair.
 Property which can be legitimately taxed should be taxed and values should be known. not guessed. Because a man purchased land ten years ago for $1.0OO it does not ne- cessarily follow that he shall always be taxed upon that value. Improvements made by the com munity increase the value and upon that increased value the community has right to demand a tax.
 The community creates the value of property and the community has a right to demand a just tax upon this society," y-created value.
 No system of taxation will ever be popular but we can make it just and that should be our aim.
 The burden of the cost of govern ment should be distributed equally and this cannot be done until more time, study and knowledge is ap- piled to making assessments.
 Our assessors should devote their entire time to this work, It is notorious fact that there is gross inequality is our present assessment for taxation
 Wealth, in the nature of increased land values created by community improvements and growth, is not be- ing taxed and this must be remedie1 at once in order to keep pace with the increased cost of government or we will face a tax rate in a short time of twenty-five mills. thus plac- ing upon the shoulders of some of our citizens a further penalty for the improvements they have made and which have increased the valuc of the property of those who have not taken their proper part in help ing to develop the city but who have been the great beneticiaries under our community growth.
 We cannot secure a proper system of assessment too soon to satisfy the demands for revenue with which to build the improvements the growth of our city demands.
 We can meet the demands for i'm provements by bond issues and there by place burden upon the future generations or we can imm ediatelT take steps to correct the evils of our present system; do our duty by facing our problems in an honest, manly way and not shift our burdens upon the shoulders of those who are to come and who will have their own problems to face.
 Tn order that we may immediately take action upon this most impor- tant matter. I would recommend to your honorable body that the mayor be authorized to appoint a commit tee of six citizens to take up this matter in conjunction with the a5- correct or improve our present sys- tenn of property assessment for taxa ton.

EAT QUEER THINGS IN PINCH
Find Satisfaction in Stew Made Of
Vest, Shoelaees and SIedse

There is naturally much talk in
war time of rations and food supply,
and the possibility or probability Of
starving out one or other Of the bel
ligerents. But It is amazing what peo-
pie will eat at a pinch.
A recent arctic explorer seriously
advised the wearing Of skin clothing
in preference to wooden, simply and
solely because, II the worst came to
the worst, ones outfit could be stewed
for a meal. or at any rate given to the
dogs!
Well, when a man finds enjoyment
and a sort Of inward satisfaction in a
stew made of his vest, his shoelaces.
and his sledge gear, he must be pref
ty "peckish," and when he gets back
to civilization he will make a model
husband, never likely to turn up his
% at cold mutton on washing days.
The bishop of Yukon thinks moth
ing of eating his boots. He had prob
ably declared he was ready for that
operation many a time when he was
a boy. but he has actually done it
since he came to mans estate-in his
case. the great gold field Of arctic
Alaska.

to have told the two men he had a
