non-residents May Assess By Mall.

In commenting on the provision in the new taxing and assessment laws, which requires that property shall be assessed in the county in which it is located, Attorney General John D. Ar buckle said that it is not necessary fer the assessment to be made by per sonal visit
 "A resident of one county who owns property in another county is not re- eHired to ee te the other county to assess" Mr. Arbuckle said All that is required is that he shall have his schedule before the assessor at the time when the property is to be as- sessea F tBe schedules are made up and mailed to the assessors by June l. |. fhe requirements will have been met.
 While fl is not necessary to nav- the schedules in the hands of the as sessur rrtil in reaches The locality in which tha nfapeFty ta be assessed Is located. To avoid any difficulty which might ha experienced through lack of information concerning the assessors tineHaE.. f would he we'll te have the schedules mailed to the assessor st the county seat by June | Tn the taXpavcr's home county, of course, as- easements #ll be filed at the regular scheduled time
 "The most distinctive differences between the new law and the old on this point are that the assessments must ba made in the county in which the property is located, either in per son or by mail, and that the taxpayer himself must make the assessment This assessment. however, is subject 10 review and equalization by the township boards.

All Must Cooperate.
 "The power against which we are arrayed has sought to impose it's will upon the world by force. To this end it has increased armament until it has changed the face of war. In the sense in which we have been wont to think of armies there are no armies in this struggle. There are entire na- tions armed. Thus, the men who re- main to till the soil and man the fac tories are no less a part of the army that is in France than the men beneath the battle flags. It must be so with us. It is not an army that we must tion. To this end our people must draw close ia one compact front against q common foe. But this cannot be if each man pursues q private purpose All must pursue one purpose.
 "The nation needs all men, but it needs each man, not in the field that will most pleasure him, but in the en- deavor that will best serve the com mon good.
 Tt is in no sense a conscription of the unwilling = it is rather selection from nation which has volunteered in mass.
 "The day here named is the time upon which all shall present them- selves for assignment to their tasks.
 Tt is essential that the day be ap- proached in thoughtful apprehension of it's significance and that we accord to it the honor and the meaning that it deserves. Our industrial need pre- seribes that 1t be not made techni- cal holiday, but the stern sacrifice that is before Us urges that it be car ried in all our hearts as great day of patriotic devotion and obligation when the duty shall lie upon every man, whether he is himself t0 be reg istered or not, to see to it that the name of every male person of the des= ignated ages is written on these lists of honor.

"I understand that the section Of this act which authorizes the creation of volunteer divisions in addition to the draft was added with view to providing an independent command for Mr. Roosevelt and giving the military authorities an opportunity to use his fine vigor and enthusiasm recruiting the forces now at the western front.
 Ut would be very agreeable to me to pay Mir. Roosevelt this compliment and the allies the compliment of sending to their aid one of our most distin- guished public men, an ex-president, who has rendered many conspicuous public services and proved his gallan- try in many striking ways.

What these means are I know from the mouths of men who have seen war as it is con ducted, who have no illusions and to whom the whole grim matter is a mat ter of business.

ROADS WANT MORE HELP.
Eastern Lines Intimate They Will
Plead For New Increase.

WASHINGTON, oct. 11.-Eastern rail-
roads are preparing to place before
the interstate commerce commission
a program 20 provide general relief
from their financial difficulties. Elk
ecutives OF the roads so notified the
commission today when they appeared
in connection with proposed increased
rates on a long list Of commodities not
included in the raise granted in the 10
per cent rate advance case last June.
What form the railroads program
VIII take was not disclosed, altho IT
was broadly intimated that the COM
mission would be asked to authorize a
a general rate advance.
The broad features Of the whole
rate revision program remained in
the background. Discussion conferred
almost wholly on the technicalities OF
procedure involved in obtaining what
the railroads characterized as tenn
porary relief.
This temporary relief, the commits
sion was told, was desired In the form
OF increased rates on long list OF
commodities. chief OF which are live
stock. dressed meats. petroleum, grain
products, sand, stone, cement and
copper. The proposed increases would
apply to traffic east Of the MissLss!ppl
and north OF the Ohio riverg.
1T is the opinion OF the gentlemen
represent" said Georg Stuart Patter-
son, spokesman for the roads, that
ary relief which will be secured from
permitting increases in rates on these
commodities will be only temporary
;xs haf 10
a short time when the needs OF the
eastern carriers will be brought to the
attention OF the commission in a much
more general and more specific way
than is contemplated in these parti-
cular tarlffs.'
After the commission disposed last
June of the Is per cent case the rail-
roads in many instances promptly filed
Individual tariffs, proposing virtually
the same increases that had been
GeIsisu.
Commissioner McChord. seeking to
shorten the way to disposition OF the
railroads request, suggested today that
it might be well for the roads to apply
for a reopening OF the Is per cent case,
but withdrew the suggestion upon
learning of the number OF pending
cases which would be affected by such
a course.
Chairman Hall of the commission
suggested at the close of the hearing
that the roads notify the commission
formally of what they desire in the
way of temporary increases.
Representatives of shippers asked
that they be notified of further de-
veIopments in the case.
