A hard task awaits the commission
ers in the several counties in making
an assessment of personal property,
task which follows the reassessment OF
real property. now nearing completion
in tabuiation: The new work will be-
gin early in the New Year.
The commissioners tried to duck tue
task. but the Tax Commissioner has
held them up to it. They object to
prving into the private affairs OF their
friends and neghbors. They are ap-
prehensive of the sacrifice of personal
and political friendship.
The Tax Commission has issued rules
for the guidance of the assessors here
are some of the extracts that tell OF
what is to come:
If the County Commissioners consider
that the valuations returned by the
property owners are too low, they must
notify the owners of valuations sug-
pested to the board and give the owner
an opportunity to be heard before max
ing an assessment. Notices IN these
cases are to be mailed to the property
owners and must give five clear days
notice to the owners of the property to
be assessed.
If there is no response make a valu-
alton of his personal property estimated
upon the best information obtainable
and sufficiently adequate to embrace all
of his personal property, and IN this
event send notice as directed, and
enter the assessment as therein direct
ed.
Have personal investigation made
bv the Supervisor of Assessments, or
a Special Assessor, and make a valua-
ton upon the report of the Supervisor
or Special Assessor. Send notice as
directed, or summon the owner of per-
sonal property to appear before you
on a certain day, administer the oath
to him and interrogate him in regard
to his ownership of personal property.
From this testimoney and all other
available information make valuation.
No notice Is required if the County
Commissioners determine upon an as
sessment while the owner is present.
Farming implements of farmers are
exempt from taxation to the extent OF
$500 and that amount must be deducted
from the assessed value thereof,
The Tax Commission has adopted the
following general rule for the assess
ment of automobiles, motor-vehlcles,
etc:
First wear in use, 66i per cent. OF
catalogue price; second year IN use, oo
Der cent of catalogue price; third year
in use, 40 per cent. of catalogue price;
fourth wear in use, 80 per cent. of cat
alogue price, and the fourth year &C
cording to the judgment of the Counly
Commissioners This general rule is
subject to modification in exceptional
circumstances.
The market value at the time of as
sessment is the proper basis for assess
ing bonds, evidences Of debt, shares o.
stock of foreign corporations, ETC.,
under Questions Nos. II and IL of the
Notice and Schedule.
Each commissioner of county hav
ing three commissioners shall receive
five dollars per day for actual services
rendered in connection with the assess
ment of personal property in their
county and the county commissioners
of counties having more than three
commissions shall each receive three
dollars per day for actual services rem

Pastor of Church of Good Shepherd Gives Hopeful Address at Sheitering Arms-Ever Ready Circle Sews For Hospitab-EvangeIiet Choir Leader to Give Inforn1af Musicale.

Rev. J. F. Cobb pastor of the Church of the Good Shepherd, gave a most interesting address at the SheIt- erirg Arms Sunday afternoon Through a mistake the choir did not came and there was no singing. The subject of the address was The SouP s Highway to God Through Jesus Christ. MT. Cobb said. in the course of his address:
 Christ is the way to the Father be- cause He is the stableness and life So many things happen day by day that the soul needs stableness and a guide for it's growth and development Mans supreme need is to be taught the way to God. We may be far from God though He is all about us. Man needs tc lay hold of hopes large, strong and firm as revealed in Jesus Christ as the exemplar of man is not only a way by The Way. There arc three means of approach: Faith obedience and sonship. We should re- member the heavenly life is not post poned, it begins here and >-w in so far we enter into the spirit of Christ we enter into the heavenly life

garding the attitude of myself and the government To reverse this de- cision. would be a calamity for Eng land"
 Mir. Chamberlain's reply seems to leave no loophole for retreat on the part of the government and should the free traders. with the Lancashire
 members and the whole body of na- tionalists, be able to muster sufficient members, it Is not impossible that the division might result in the defeat of the government, leading to general election.
 The Lloyd George administration is so largely unionist in composition that it is viewed with great suspicion bv the older liberals. especially with regard to the question of tarin and imperial preference.
 The Lancashire party contends that tho imposition of these duties Is breach of the understanding that nothing of the kind should be done uY- til after the WAT and that the duties will seriously injure not only the Lancashire trade but Great Britain's ally, Japan. What attitude Ex- Premier Asquith will adopt towards the duties Is still unknown. but a large tody of liberals will follow his lead. At the present stage neither the gov ernment nor the Lancashire party is inclined to listen to any compromise.

London, March I2. 300 p. m-The new Lloyd George government will meet the first difficult hurdle in the house of commons Wednesday,. when parliament will be asked to authorize a new policy in India in placing a protective duty on cotton goods. Spe- ciai preparations are being made by all parties in anticipation of critical division.
 The reply of J. Austen Chamberlain. secretary for India. to a deputation representing all sections of the Lam cashire cotton industry today seemed to imply that the government intend ed to stand fast by it's decision. in which case there would be a straight fight between the protecuonists and free traders in parliament. and at the moment it is impossible to foresee the result, the ordinary party cleavages being disturbed by the war. MT. Chamberlain appealed to the L4anca- shire deputations saying that In- dia's financial assistance to the war is needed and that the members ought D spirit of patriotism waive their
