The New Plan Of Tax
Assessing

The recent Legislature did
more in constructive legislation
than any other for years.
Many changes were made in
the system of taxation and as
sessments. The most far-reach-
ing is the act of abolishing coun-
ty boards of equalization and
providing a modified system of
township assessments. The act
creates township boards of assess
ment composed of the county
assessor, ex-officio, and two citi-
zens and taxpayers of five years
residence, in each township.
Each township board is to assess
all property within the township.
The board will meet from one to
three days in each township as a
board of equalization. Appeals
from the board may be taken to
the County Court.

industrial field would be permanent,
specialized instruction could be great

Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants

Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants
The Woman's Home Companion has
an article in which this passage oe-
ours ''Ihe nuisance for the man who
has acquired grea. financial resources
usually is that he doesn't know what
he wants. Possessing the resources
and feeling the moral necessity to
have recourse to them, he looks about
for something to want, and he selects
the most costly thing. The acquisi-
tion of this most costly thing always
involves, in practice, the separation
of the rich man from society. Thus.
he will acquire a large estate, or sew
eral large estates, and cut himself of
from the world by gates, doors, miles
of drive, lodgekeepers. menials ana
secretaries. Or he will acquire a -
000-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic
privately, though less quickly, less
comfortably and even less privately
than on a great liner. Or he will keep
private orchestra, instead of being
seen at concerts. All which, though
magnificent is antisocial and silly, and
IS secretly felt to be so by the rich
man when he happens to wake up in
the middle of the night and can't go
to sleep again"
