REGULARITY OF WATER LILY
Plant Produces an Oil Which Prevents
Moisture Remaining on Its
Leaves and Blossoms.
JOSEPH CONNELL.

Slow-moying rivers, ponds and lakes
are the habitat of flower which, as
most everybody knows, Is the water
lily.
Did you ever know what gave the
leaves and blossoms of the "water
nymph' their shining appearance? 1t
is due to an oil which prevents water
remaining on them and clogglng the
little mouths, or stomachs, through
which the plant breathes.
The leaves are large, fiat and nearly
round. The blossoms are very snowy,
measuring, in our common American
species, nearly six inches across. In
color they are white, pink and yellow.
Water lilies are particular about the
weather In which they bloom. On fine,
warm days the flowers open In the
morning and close ut night, but on
dull, chilly days the flower does not
venture forth.
One member of the family. Victoria
rcgia, which grows In South America,
has n leaf six to twelve feet broad
with a curious rim that gives 1t
IKE appearance. The leaves
enough to hold two men.

CONNELL'S ADDRESS
TO ASSESSORS
GAINESVILLE, Wis.

The following paper has been pre-
pared by Income Tax Assessor Jos.
Connell TO be read at the meeting of
the assessors OF the county at the court
house tomorrow. Taxpayers should
read it carefully.
Assessors Of Manitowoc County,
Gentlemen;
Your assembling here today means
the beginning Of the 1917 assessment
work in your assessment districts.
Section 772-d states that the assessors
Of ach county shall meet annually in
April for conference aud instruction
relative to the duties of such assessors
in the valuation and assessment of
all kinds and classes Of property sub
ject to taxation.
In making assessments the assessor
should first familarize himself with
the assessment laws. Second, he
should view each -piece OF property,
both real and personal, and get all in
formation that Is material in estab.
fishing values. No sane man would
attempt to buy COW or horse with
out first giving it his careful attention.
Much less a $4,000 farm, 100000
merchant stock or a 100000 plant.
Viewing the property is most import
ant. First, 1t gives the assessor an
opportunity to see what he assesses
and second and most important he pro-
tects the honest against the dishonest.
No assessor can increase or decrease
taxes in his district. His duty is one
OF equallzing taxes levied by the legis.
lature, county boards. town boards and
school districts.
The following table shows the tax
paid In Manitowoc County in 1911 Al
compared With 1916 with increase on
decrease rs The case may be:

Total Increase
s3S0.GOS sci

Total Increase $3.50, sos 80
The above table is in answer to many
inquiries, where does the money 90
that is collected in taxes? In addition
to the general tax levy the state col
lected $3.50 los from taxes and license
fees which goes direct into the state
treasury for state purposes The large
increase in taxes in the county rs
shown in Table , is largely due to the
enactment of new laws forcing new
activities on the tax payers. The same
is trle of local government as shown
in table 3, The total general tax levy
for the entire state in 1915 was S43,-
365, 639. OF this amount pproXimately
1917 was for state tax; 20% for county
tax; Al g for local tax; and 2S% for
schools.
While the conditions disclosed are
not Of the assessors making nor under
our control, much of the criticism for
high taxes has been directed at our
heads. But that has ever been the lot
OF the assessor. Why should we ex-
pect to escape the time honored trib-
ute Of our calling. Much OF this crit
icis.n is in jest, more Of it partisan.
Very little of it personal or malicious.
In the long run our sharpest critics
will respect US just in proportion as
we perform our duties with frmness
and good Judgment. In the last analysis
the work of equalizing tax burdens
in our particular field is in the line of
social justice. Assessing would be a
dreary task indeed If it did not con.
stitute part of the general govern
ment of protecting the weak against
the strong in the unequal contest of
modern civilization. Let us bear its
burdens as cheorfullg as we can, meet
its obligations without fear or favor,
holding the scale of justice with even
hand without abating jot of our en-
ergy or zeal, patient with the unin-
formed, tolerant with the misguided
who sit in darkness, but weary of the
selfish and exacting-and always firm
to require every citizen to render to
Caesar the things that are Caesars
while we as freely accord to him the
things that are his.
In closing say, it is your duty TO
follow the chalk mark, hew to the
line and let the chips fall where they
may.
