BOONE,s TAXABLE PROPERTY

The 1918 assessment abstract Of
taxable property in Boone County,
which places an evaluation of over 26
and a half million dollars on real and
person property, is a concrete and
close-to-home example of the work OF
the State Tax Commission which was
created last year by the General AS
sembly to see that the tax law which
had been a dead statute since 1909,
when it was passed, should be en-
forced.
Last years abstract put the valua-
ton of property at over IL million.
The increase this year over last is
approximately 225 per cent. What is
true of Boone County is true of the
whole state. Last year the value of
the states taxable property was over
2 billion dollars; this year it will
run between and s billion, according
to estimates made by men interested
in taxing problems.
To arrange tax rates in proportion
to this increase Governor Frederick
d. Gardner will call special session
of the General Assembly in the spring.
The state tax rate of Is cents will be
reduced. The amount of revenue
coming into the state will be almost
the same as in former year but the tax
will be more evenly distributed.
Shortly after the creation of the.
State Tax Commission, Cornelius
Roach, chairman, called a meeting of
all the county assessor. He ex-
planned the law and then laid the
law down to them. They were told
either to make the valuations on 100
per cent valuation or resign. Several
though they would resign, because
they were afraid that they would be
signing their political death warrant
If they raised the valuations. When
they learned that everyone had to do
the same thing and when they were
told that another man would be put
in their place who would follow the
law, they decided to remain in office.
Now their. work is beginning to bear
fruit.
The valuation of property is not on
the 100 per cent valuation-yet But
in a few years, when the assessors
and the people become acquainted
with the working of the tax commits
sion plans the valuation will be based
on real cash value. This years alb
stract shows a step toward sensible
tax plans.

as IN HOME SERVICE COURSE
DR.. George B. MangOld Opens Series
of Lectures With Red Cross Talk.


Twenty-eight are enrolled in the
home service course to be given at
the University during the next eight
weeks. DR.. George B. Mangold of
St. Louis gave two lectures yester-
day, one in the afternoon and one at
night.
In the afternoon he told the history
of the Red Cross and its relief work
during times of disaster, and ex-
planned the home service idea. He
declared that many volunteers are
needed to prepare for the homecom-
ing of wounded and crippled soldiers.
In speaking of child welfare, Doc
tor Mangold said that, as children of
today would form the nation of to-
morrow, it was necessary to guard
their welfare. He believes that phys
ical education has received an added
stimulus through the war and that
the child labor laws will be more
strictly enforced. That the church
should take a part in child welfare
work was strongly advocated by the
speaker.

COAL MUST BE GOT TO PEOPLE
CrOssley Would Cut Passenger Serv-
ice in Favor of Fuel Shipping.
1y Associated PrAsa

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. s.
Wallace Crossley, state fuel admin
istrator, believes the transportation
companies should be made to handle
coal until the suffering public is re-
lieved. He has issued the following
statement:
at is difficult for a layman to un-
derstand why the thousands of coal
cars now on sidings at the mines or
in transit cannot be rushed to the CEN
ters of population, where they gre so
badly needed. If had charge of the
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas rail-
road systems, l would reduce passen-
ger train service to an absolute min
imum and move coal until every
pound on top of ground was delivered
to the impatient, inconvenienced, long
suffering consumer"

Probably Rules in Effect.

Far reaching priority regulations
were put into effect by the War In
dustries Board to expedite the pro-
duction of war supplies.
They apply to all individuals, firms
associations and corporations en-
gagged in the production of copper
of their products; chemicals, cotton
iron and steel, and in the manufacture
duck and woolen cloth and all such
other raw materials, and manufac-
tured products as may be deemed nec-
essary later.
Priority in the production of coal
and coke, or food and feeds, is not ad-
ministered by the Priorities Commit
tee of the War Industries Board, but
comes under the Fuel or Food Admin
istrations.

CORRECT TINE FOR ARMY SOON
q. S. Telegraph System in France Is
Almost COMPLETED.


| Correspondence Of the Associated Press
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Jan. 15.-Correct time soon
will be transmitted to the entire
American Expeditionary Forco over
its own system of telegraph lines. At
present wireless stations each day at
a certain hour pick from the air fig
ures flashed from Paris by which the
clocks of the army are synchronized.
This method does not insure absolute
accuracy.
When the last links of the tele-
graph system are connected, each day
at IL o'clock a simultaneous signal
will be sent to every station so that
through the existing zone and, later
on, at the front as well, clocks and
watches will show the same time.
This synchrOniZation is desirable un-
der present, conditions and 1t is an
absolute necessity with troops at the
front when, for instance, orders may
specify that some operation is to be
carried out at one point at a certain
point at another time. The success
of both operations may depend upon
their being launched virtually on the
second.
Miles upon miles of telegraph lines
strung on poles labeled "U. s. A" now
stretch through France. They may be
found running to base ports, zigzag-
ging through the instruction zone
over hills, through a valley, along a
roadside. On some of the poles there
are double cross-beams supporting in
many cases as many as ten wires.
There is a complete system of. opera
tors and central exchanges as well as
a considerable force of linemen and
repairmen, number of whom worked
for telephone and telegraph COM
panies in the United States before the
war. The service" leaves little if
anything to be desired.

U-BOAT CHOKED WITH
MEN,, SAYS WITNESS
~ We're on Boat Which
Sunk Penisfone.

WASHINGTON, Aug. al Six days
spent as a prisoner on German sub
marine, which was so crowded with
men that there was hardly room to
sleep. convinced capt. David Evans of
the British steamer Penistone. sunk by
the U-boat, that more exploits like the
arming of the trawler Triumph are
contemplated by the German raiders.
On his visit here. where he reported
his experience to naval officers. Capt.
Evans explained that the submarine
carried seventy-seven men, more than
twice the number Of a normal crew.
and his impression was that It's officers
intended to convert some captured ship
into a ra der or use The vessel as a
mother ship for U-boats. though it has
been reported that double crews are
carried on submarines In order to train
enough men to keep up the warfare.
THE U-boat, which sunk the Peni-
stone and which was my prison for
eight days, was about 200 feet over all
and carried two six-inch, deck guns, y
Capt. Evans said after relating the cir
cumstances which led to his capture.
These guns We're not protected from
the water in any way when the U-boat
submerged.
THE officers and crew Of the sub
marine were young men. determined and
businessike. They talked very little
and adopted more or less the attitude
OF ignoring me. The fact that they did
not attempt to extract Information from
me with regard to the movements CT
ships convinced ME that they were well
Informed in that direction. The food
was ordinary seamen's fare.
During the time I was on board the
U-boat the deck guns were in action
one time for two houns, but with what
results ! do not know, as I was kept
below and not allowed to see what was
going on"

MADRID. Aug. 21.-To avoid sensa-

ish Government has instituted censorship
throughout the country. Foreign Minis
ter Dato states there Is no truth in the

ships sunk by German submarines and
