THAT GERMAN
DEMOCRACY

The hope that there might be a
revolution in Germany ana that the
kaiser would have to hunt "A new job,
seems to have little value at this writ
ing. 1t might be, but the chances are
that Wilhelm's position is about as Sc
cure as they make them. And 1t Will
stay that way until the entente allies
whip the daylights out of him and his
armies or scare the folks at home so
bad they would be willing to do any
thing to get peace. And all of this is
probably far in the future. There's
very little of il in sight at present. The
Germans may he having some fuses
among themselves at homo and all
that, but they present n unanimous
front to the outsider and probably will
for a good while to come. One of the
reasons for this is that the people are
not allowed TO know all the kaiser and
the big fellows know. The Germans
are taught, at home, that winning is
only a matter of a little time in the
future. They have believed it so far
and they'll probably keep on for some
time in the future. There is little
else for them to do. They get in Jail
when they talk anything else but win,
most of the time. Therefore, they
stand what they have to, stick to the
government and hope for a big Him

the kaiser losing his job and a de-
mocracy being established in Ger
many soon, are not good.

THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY
Tho Missouri Supreme Courts Latest
Opinion On How 10 value Taxable
Property for Assessment.

=
in view of the fact that all taxes
in the state are to be raised under
new method and all assessments are
to be made on the new full valuation
plan the opinion OF the Missouri Su-
preme court in the case of the Mer-
camille Trust Co. VS.. Schramm, city
assessor et al which is found on PIP
SS6-7 of the Southwestern Reporter
of FEB. I, 1917, is of great interest
to every taxpayer in st. Joseph or
this county. 1t says:
Our law provides a complete plan
and scheme for the assessment and
collection of taxes. an adequate
means by which the burden priuIar.
lily borne by the state and. It's sub
divisions is transferred to the citizen.
The prime and dominant idea of the
scheme is furnished by the Constitu-
tion, and is that all property of the
same class and value shall bear the
same burden. While it is a matter of
common experience that absolute
equality in the imposition of taxes is
not attainable, we nevertheless find
an aim and intention on the part OF
our lawmakers to approximate TO the
idea of absolute equality as closely as
the nature of the subject and the
necessities of practical administration
will permit. 1t is the Uniformity OF
burden that the principle of Uniform
ity in taxation is intended to accom-
plish, and whatever tends to foil this
incurs the laws wrath. Dlscrinllna-
ton, by whatever means induced.
whether by different rates on the
same values or the same rates on diff
ferent values, seems within the in
hibition. The state being subdivided.
practical administration and the ne
cessitles of the case require that diff
ferent rates be charged in different
subdivisions in order to meet differ
ent local needs and conditions and
ions for such different local rates are
made. The principle of uniformity,
however, requires that all property of
the same class within the territorial
limits of the authority levyina the
tax be taxed at the same rate. A
state tax must be apportioned uni
formly throughout the state; a county
tax throughout the county; and
municipal tax throughout the munic-
ipality. Whils> provisions are made
for different fates in different sub
divisions and for local purposes, no
provisions are to be found anywhere
which authorize different standards
or bases of valuation. 1t is evidently
intended that the difference in the
various local conditions shall be cared
for by a difference in the rate and
1 not otherwise.
1.-THE law clearly and expressly re-
quires that for the purpose of valua-
tion all property in the state, regard
less of where situate, shall be dealt
with In the same manner. For this
purpose of valuation, the law DEGREES
uniformity and one standard through
out the state, and this without any
regard whatever to local needs or
difference in local conditions. for 1t
ordalns that all property. wherever
situate. shall be assessed at its true
value"
