Of Frederick. but to appeal for mercy.
We admit his guilt to the very linn
It," said Kortjohn. but We do con-
tend that the law has been fully win.
dicated and that no good end would
now be served by keeping him longer
behind the prison bars"
Kortiohn said that Frederick had
told his side OF the case. He
believed that Frederick was not men.

q letter from DR.. George Richter, who
said that the removal of a goiter from

At the conclusion Of the arguments

That an inquiry might be made into

Chairman Painter asking Heimenz

Heimenz said that from 1908 until

Following IL the governors letter:
have read the article signed by
yourselves on the subject of tax as
sessment. The substance OF the e /.
olution. ! take II. is that with q cash
valuation the assessed valuation Of
the state would be trebled. which an.
der the present tax rate would In the
year 1918 collect $1,000. 900 more than
was ever collected before In any one
year By direct tax"
No state should collect more from
the taxpayers than Is required to eco
nomically and efficiently administer

Ice at the minimum expense. beg
to say that after the State Board of
Equalization has finished its work in
March, 1918. and the true valuation
has been as~certained and certified, I
shall call a special session Of the leg
islature for the express purpose of
reducing the state tax rate to a figure
meeting only the legitimate expenses
Of the state. It is my opinion that
the rate can be decreased and each
biennial period thereafter the rate
may be decreased further.
The county courts. school boards
and other levying bodies will be liz
formed Of the assessment as finally
determined by the State Board OF
Equalization; and the said bodies will
in the spring reduce their tax rates.
The upshot OF the whole proposition
will be that taxes will he equalized
