The official silence regarding opera

greatest significance.
In the meantime speculation has
been revived in London as to whether
the German fleet may not be planning
another sally into the North sea.
Frequent appearance of small Ger.

reported. British scout ships and aero.
planes have brought in word of sight,

May EXEMPT HOUSEHOLD
GOODS FROM TAXATION

Entire exemption of household goods
from taxation in Minnesota may result
at this session of the legislature, and
probably would save money to the state
and local governments, members of the
state tax commission declare. House
hold goods now are in separate class
assessed at rs per cent of the full and
true value. the lowest rate In the
schedule.
Bills that are pending propose reduc-
tion of this rate to 20 per cent, 10 per
cent and even to per cent. THESE are
on the theory that no class OF property
can be entirely exempt from taxation.
But there is some question about this.
and the legislature may amend the
pending bills to exempt household
goods entirely.
When the percentage law went into
effect in 1914, the number of personal
property assessments listed for taxa
ton dropped from 35,797 to 1888. Mr..
Armson pointed out. OF the total value
of personal property assessed in 1915,
which was $715, 145,9S7, household goods
was only $91,453,172, and of the as
sessed value, $241,034s7S. household
goods were assessed at only $22,
or less than 10 per cent.
The household goods assessment
amounts to only per cent of the states
total assessment, and this is the most
difficult part of the work of the local
assessors. Members of the state tax
commission favor the exemption and
believe it will result in gain instead
of a loss If the change is made.

open secret that his preference is for
thrilling old time detective stories.
Otter he gathers his family about him,
and reads poems Frequently he steals
away to a gallery to view some paint
ings.
The presidents insistence on
promptness contrasts with the more
or less carefree habits of some Of his
predecessors. When the cabinet meets
the presidents advisers are frequently
early, but are seldom late.
The president. now so years old, is
very healthy, and his only weaknesses
are of the stomach and eyes. Because
of attacks of indigestion he is more
or less on a diet most Of the time, but
is as regular in his meals as in all his
other habits.
Society has no charm for Mr.. Will
son and for society with capital s he
has a positive aversion. On more than
one occasion his failure to hide his
feelings has been noticeable. He avoids
all social functions whenever possible.
AS a breaker of precedents Mr.. Will
son set official Washington agasp even
before he came into office by ANNOUNCE
ing that he did not desire the usual
inaugural ball. He followed that by
declining membership in some so-call-
ed exclusive clubs which always had
claimed the membership OF prest-
dents.
One Of his first acts was to greatly
decrease the number of army and
navy officers assigned to the White
House as aides, until less than half
dozen remained. Mr.. Wilson abolished
the motorcycle guard used to surround
the presidents car when he went out
on the streets, saying he wished to go
about just as any other citizen.
When he began the custom of de-
liVering his addresses to congress in
person he revived a custom which had
died with Washington, and Adams. No
president since Jefferson had address
ed the congress personally and no 9TH
err president since Madison had ad-
dressed the senate separately on
foreign affairs as President Wilson
did on his celebrated peace note. His
fondness for directness of action has
led to the shattering Of many other
presidents.
Oftentimes. when he wants to con-
fer with a cabinet officer quickly he
walks to his office. He goes to the
hank in person to deposit his salary
and when he needs goes shopping like
anyone else. If he wishes to confer
with senator, and the senator is
spending a quiet evening at home, the
president goes to the senator's house
Precedent always has decreed that the
senator must come at the call Of the
president.
Mr.. Wilson uses the telephone very
much on the theory that 1t shortens
conversations and keeps the parties
to the conversation to the subject in
| tended.
Never has the president relaxed any
of the customs which make for respect
! and honor for the high office, but he
has shattered many precedents in the
+, interest of direct action.
