The Call

From city, town and country. y
The call has come to go.
To fight for our country's welfare
And our loved ones must go.
All honor to our heroes
Who go into the fight
To battle for our country
And for our country's right.
Our forefathers fought for freedom; |;
They fought and gained the day.
Under the stars and stripes
/ We are flying today.
God pity our fathers and mothers,
All over our land today.
The sighs, the tears, and heartaches.
As they think of their boys far
away
Pity wives, sisters and sweethearts,
As their loved ones go from their
sight
To cross the treacherous ocean,
To danger. battle and strife.
May God speed the day
When all the world will be at peace
And this human carnage
And loss of life shall cease.
And may this thrilling message,
Ger land and waters cross
Peace on earth. good will
Be over all the earth.
May friendship and charity abide,
And benevolence on every side
May flags of peace in triumph wave,
And unto God we will give the
praise.

THE LAW WILL GOVERN
Assessors of Missouri Resolve ia
Abandon Old Custom and
Honor Law and Oath.

Abandon Old Custom ana
Honor Law and Oath.
The following set Of resolutions
was unanimously adopted by the as.
| SCISSORS Of Missouri in recent con,
ference at Jefferson City:
WHEREAS, Idle and seni-idle
wealth, to the extent Of many mil
! lions Of dollars, commonly known Il
personal property Of the invisible
class, annually escapes taxation
through the failure and refusal oi
its apathetic and satisfied owners to
make return of it to the assessor, as
required BY law; and
WHEREAS, Declining to return
any value is more unjust and unlaw-
full than returning property under
valued; and,
WHEREAS, This kind of tax
dodging by predatory wealth is uni
| versally recognized as the creates,
evil of the general property system
of taxation;
THEREFORE BE 1T RE
SOLVED, That this conference, in
dividually and collectively, most dill
igently employ every power given by
law to uncover and assess personal
property Of the invisible class, valu.
ing same in accordance with the law
for valuing this and all other kinds
of property subject to taxation; and
WHEREAS, Section 1884, R. S
Mo-, 1909, provides that "the assessor
shall value and assess all the proper
ty on his books according to its true
value in money" and
WHEREAS, The statutes in fif,
teen different places specify said
value as the value at which to tax
property, and as nowhere is mention
made of any other value as the one
to employ in making assessment; and
| WHEREAS. Section u1344 re-
quires the assessor to take oath that
he will assess all property at which
he believes to be its actual cash
value;" and
WHEREAS, No option is given the
! assessor Ill IlAAls VdiuoeiohS W ~
part from the value prescribed BY
law, the statute being mandatory anc
a penalty being fixed for failure re-
fusal or neglect to comply; and
WHEREAS, The law provides fol
varying the rate of levy within the
maximum prescribed by the Consti
tuition, so as to collect whatevel
quantity of taxes that may be neces
sary;
THEREFORE BE 1T RE
SOLVED, That this conference be-
lieves that the only legal way pro
vided to regulate the amount Of take:
collected is to vary the rate, permit
ting law and facts, conscience ant
courage to determine valuation; and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
That complying strictly with the Law
in fixing valuations is for the pur
pose of establishing uniformity, TO
having only one standard of measure
ment, and for insuring equality o
burden, and not for the purpose o
increasing taxes, as any increase o
decrease must legally depend on tn
| -,+a ie,red and onlv on that rate.
