THE Why AND WHEREFORE.
Governor GARDNER Explains the Why's
Of the Full Cash Value
Assessment.

Sessment tnis year Is made at the
actual cash value" Of property. The
state Tax Commission Is insisting on
this. In the first place, because II Is
the law in this state, and complete
undertaking was arrived at when the
county assessors met with the COM
mission in the First Annual Con-
ference" held in jefferson City April
9th. These officials heartily endorse
the action because the law requires
u, and II will doubtless ultimately
prove 70 be Of benefit 70 the great
mass Of taN-payors-in fact, will
make their taxes lower.
A letter written by Governor Gard
ncr to n committee at Richmond, COM
posed Of Hons. u. T. Maddox. John
W. Campbell and J. +. Flack. makes
the matter plain, and we give ex-
cerpts from such communication.
These gentlemen pointed out that a
cash valuation under the present rs.
sessment will be treble the usual val
uation and would collect 100000
more in 1918 than was ever collected
before in the state by direct tax in
one year. This statement, the Cover.
nor says. would he literally true. and
would work hardship on the tax
payers and provide revenue which
Ia unnecessary. unless provision Is
made for the reduction Of the state
levy.
The. Governor adds:. NO state
should collect more from the tax
payers than Is required TO economical
ana eiiiciently administer ITS al
iairs' giving the maximum service NJ
tne minimum expense. therefore,

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
New Year Thoughts.

Time like stream is rushing on to
join the great ocean of eternity. The
years are but the lines that men employ
for their convenience in measuring
time. This is one of the times when we
pause to think of the past, of our course
in the future and when we form plans
and make good resolutions. We deter
mine to forsake old habits; to abandon
old haunts of sin; to break off from old
associations. This we regard as an
opportune time for doing this.
The reviews and reflections we in
dulge in at such times, are as varied
and numerous as the individuals who
indulge them. They may be of great
consequence to US, but the most i'm
portant of all is to awake from indif-
ference. We are very active and dill
gent in making provisions for the flesh,
and for the comforts of the future but
we must not forget that we are
strangers and pilgrims and so are to

how easy it is to fall into this state in
regard to our best interests. We grow
indolent in work. fancy we are secure,
though enemies Turk on every hand and
dangers threaten. Love grows cold,
zeal languishes, faith loses it's grasp
and work slackens. Spiritual stupor
units US for the Lords service.
Now is the time then to arouse from
listlessness and sleepy indifference
and with new strength and vigor ad-
dress ourselves to every good work.
There are times when the sentinel on
his lonely beat must be more vigilant
than ordinary, because of impending
dangers. but to sleep at his post even
in ordinary circumstances is a crime for
which he must pay the penalty. The
Christian soldier is required at all times
to watch, so by his becoming Indifferent
he subjects himself to new dangers and

HONORING THE AGED.

Col. Andy Robinson, Of Long
Cane, was in the city Saturday, and
we saw him in earnest conversation
with Congressman Aiken. AS we
passed we stopped to hear what was
going on. Mr.. Robinson was telling
the Congressman about a trip he
took not long ago with Mrs. Robin
son to see some of the kin. AS they
were on the way to make the visit
they chanced to meet our old and
worthy citizen, Col. Patrick Roche;
Col. Roche spoke to "Andy', and
Mr.. Robinson spoke to "Pat", as Re
called him. It happened that they
net Col. Roche again as he and Ms.
Robinson went home, and the same
salutations occurred. When they had
passed Mrs. Robinson was silent for
awhile, and then said to Andy, Mr..
Robinson you are getting up in years
yourself, and will soon be an old man,
but think you should always call
as old a man as that old gentleman,
Mister.

THE MAN FROM ITALY.

The illustrated address to be
given by the pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church next Sunday night, Jan.
7th at 1880 o'clock, is on the sub
ject of Home Missions, dealing es-
pecially with the Italians. In this
immediate section we do not have
Italians. This is one reason why the
lecture is given, that we may know
something Of the tremendous prob
lens that confront our Home Mission
workers, many of whom labor among
Italians.
The pictures are chosen to give
one a good understanding of the
work of bringing the gospel to the
thousands of immigrants that come
every week to our shores.
Some of the religious activities of
these foreigners which will be
shown are more like heathendom
than anything else, and still they
engage in them in cities where there
are thousands of Christian people.
The public is welcome at all ser
vices. ,

WYATT AIKEN, LAWYER.

Wyatt Aiken, Jr., was at at home
for the Christmas holidays. and has
returned to Washington, where he is
studying to be lawyer in one OF
the leading law schools. And he is
making good. He went to Washing
ton for this purpose on his own re-
sponsibility. His father has made
it rule to ask for no favors for
any of his relatives since he has
been in congress. Wyatt knew this
and he, therefore, took matters in
his own hands, and went to the Capt.
tol and applied for a position on his
own account. He secured job out
of which he makes enough money
to pay his expenses, and he still has
time to keep up with his studies.
md this means that one Of these
days Wyatt will be successful law

should stay because of a debt of
several hundred dollars. P. w.

LITTLE MISS HAPPINESS" IS HAPPY PRODUCTION,


 Just a little of the city life, just a little college life, but plenty of coun- try and the small life, with all of the pleasant things to make such life enjoyable, that is what predominates in Little Miss Happiness" the Fox production opening at the Orpheum last night with dainty June Caprice and that manly young fellow, Harry Hilliard.
 The greater part of the story is laid in a little home with granny ' dear. old lady, always around. and in the home of a regular small-town Shylock. There is no murder. no vampire, no grewsomeness. Sometimes Fox must surprise himself by the really good old homestead plays he turns out. Little Miss Happiness is one of those plays. Miss Caprice radiates happiness through it all and last night with the aid of the baby. the kittens. the cows, etc. the audiences thoroughly enjoyed ths play. The championship series are al so interesting, each separate sport be- ing fast and instructive. Al Hallet and Ethel Howe gave q pleasing comedy called "A Dream," and George Ebnei and Miss Kingston singled and then doubled in specialties which took well. The program will be continued in it's entirety for tonight and tomorrow. This will be the last bill in which the spe- cialty artists will undoubtedly appear as they leave for the South Sunday or Monday.
