COMB SAGE TEA IN

Naturally Nobody Can

Grand mother kept her hair beauti.
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
compound" you will get a large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about 50 cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natura, color and
beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens So naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap.
plies-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw. it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two, it is restor.

More Efficiency, Less
Politics, Crying Need
in Handling Taxation

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 80. - The
greatest impediment to efficiency in
taxation is the present method of elect
ing township assessors, according to
Charles J. Orbison, an Indianapolis at
torney. who spoke at the Indiana ses-
sion Of the tenth annual conference OF
the National Tax association, here
last night. .
What taxing power needs today is
more power and less restraint-more
efficiency and less politics-more hon
esty and less pull" he said, "and what
the people need to realize Is the utility
of taxation and that as they are just
and honest in their obligations to the
state. SO will their government be
strengthened and their living be made
more secure.
'The township assessor as we find
him in most states today Is an impedi-
ment While other departments of the
taxing power have grown and develop
ed, the township assessor has in the
main stood still"
The speaker pictured the political
conditions surrounding the choice Of
township assessors in India. There was
a lively scramble for the more lucra--
tive offices, but the office of assessor
was one of those used generally for
the purpose Of balancing and men of
no qualifications whatever were often
chosen merely because of their ability
perhaps to swing a particular vote.
What is the net result?" he asked.
Hundreds of people escape taxation
aThe dishonest citizen can return for
taxation but q small portion Of his

portion of the burden of taxation.

dishonesty.
and how could it be otherwise. I
doubt very much that If many town
ship assessors ever saw the inside of a
township assessors office before the
morning they walked in to take charge
of one Of the largest businesses in the
world, that of the valuation of the pub
lie property. He will not assess prop
erty at its true cash value, for he is ex-
pecting further favors from the public.
He is to conduct his office so that he
will get the most out of 1t for himself,
curry popular favor by lessening the
burden. on the taxpayer and intrench
the party in power.
ST have but one general proposition
to offer and that is to take the town
ship assessor out of politics and devise
some plan by which competent, trained,
and unbiased men may be put in charge
Of this business of assessing peoples
property and then keep them there so
long as they may live UP to the re-
quirements of the office-and that
means to remove them from the realm
of elective offices.
"The township assessor as he is is
going. The township assessor as he
will be, is coming. Look at him as he
approaches in the distance-educated
for the job, trained for service, honest
in his purposes, unbiased in his judg-
ment, freed from political coil willing,
ready and able to devote his life and
talents to the bringing of equity, JUS
tice and fairness, into the administra-
tion of our tax laws. Let US hasten
his coming"
