Tax Exemption

The Legislature, at its last session
passed law sxempting firemen and
soldiers from taxation on $500 worth Of
property. Assessor John d. Mason
wishing to go right in this matter, ad.
dressed a letter to the Attorney
Generals Office and in reply received
the following:
II have your inquiry as to the con-
stitutionality of chapter Z, laws of 1918,
which is an act amending the general
tax act of 1903, by including in the
exemption therein granted, persons en-
gagged in any branch OF the military or
naval forces either of this state or of
the United States during the period Of
the present war, and understand that
this exemption is the particular one in
which you are interested. The ex-
emption il, in one particular, from
taxes on real and personal property to
the extent of $500.
II am clearly of the opinion that the
provision exempting this class, among
Others in the amendment In ques ton,
is unconstitutional, for the reasons
stated by the Supreme Court in the
case of Tippstt vs.. McGrath, referred to
in your letter, which is found reported
in 70 Law, q. ITO, This case was
affirmed by the court OF Errors and
Appeals. II N. ]. Law, p. 1888. The
Court called attention to the fact that
the Contribution, by Article 4, section
z, paragraph IL, provides that property
shall be assessed for taxes under
general laws and by uniform rules ac-
cording to its true value, and the opin-
ion in the case referred to stated that
the Legislature may, for the purpose of
from taxation, classify pro-
perty either by some common feature
possessed by it or by the uses to which
it is put by its owners, and said that
the Legislature could not classify the
owners Of property according to some
characteristic possessed by them or |
arising from some status acquired by
them or connected with their conduct,
past, present, or future, and thereupon
base an exemption of the property of |
such persons regardless of the charac-
teristics possessed by the property and
Of the uses to which it is put. 1t may
be that the amendment in question |
would be considered unconstitutional |
by the courts because it grants exclu-
sive privileges to certain individuals. |
1t is not necessary for me, however, to
decide the matter on this ground"
The above leaves the impression that /
the firemen, soldiers and sailors will
not get the exemption that had been

With the American Army in France,
June 22.-The American forces north
west of Chateau Thierry yesterday
morning further Strengthened Their
line by a series Of small but brilliant
Nv executed attacks on the north SIDE
of Belleau wood.
American artillery at midnight last
night poured an avalanche of proJec-
tiles into the wood to the east o.
Chateau Thierry where aerial photo
graphs had showed there was host
of German troops and much enemy
material. The enemy undoubtedly
was severely punished.
, The American fire reached the high
est concentration in a ten-minute pc
riod, when twelve hundred shells OF al
caliber fell on one small area. Later
the American gunners concentrated
their fire on the town Of Brasles where
many of the enemy were assembled
and which was the scene of recent cap
ture of prisoners by our patrols.
Aerial observations today show the
extreme accuracy of cur fire, but, o.
course, the exact effect Is unknown.
The American troops rushed the de-
sired positions held by the enemy IN
Belleau wood without the customary
artillery preparation. The GermanH
for the most part took few shots
and then retired One enemy post
held it's ground and was quickly an

Quick Acting Form.

Fer the best results in the cuitiva-
ton Of general fed crops, materials
carrying phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
some potash should be applied. Pot
ash is more deficient in the light and
sandy soils than i'll clay soils. NOT
less than 150 to 200 pounds of COM
plete fertilizers per acre should be
used and hundreds Of farmers find
more than this amount to be most
profitable. Fertilizers containing these
necessary plant foods ale generally es-
sential for the most profitable produc-
ton of all field crops. Since there Is
such worldwide need for crops, and
since farm products are higher now
than ever before, it follows that the
farmer who strives to fulall the ma
tons needs just now by the use OF
such plant food as is necessary se-
cures at the same time the largest pos
sible financial returns for himself.

II the southern farmer is to do his
share in producing foods for man and
beast. and, at the same time. grow cot
ton fibre for the nation, he must either
increase his crop acreage, or else grow
considerably more per acre than Gus
tomary.
In view of the scarcity and high
price OF labor at the present time,
It seems to be the part OF wisdom
for farmers generally not to mate
rally increase the crop acreage, but
to increase the acre yields.
increase Yield Per Acre
Acre yields can be increased by
better preparation Of the seed bed, by
the use Of good seed OF varieties adapt
ed to the region, by using a more lib
eral application Of the right kinds Of
fertilizers and by better cultivation OF
the growing crops.
While all of these factors influence
acre yields, let US call particular at
tention at this time to the kind and
amount Of fertilizer to be used. Prac'
tically all of the southern soils are
deficient in phosphOric acid, nitrogen
and potash and these must be supplied
In some form to get the largest yields
and biggest farm profits. While the
prcrer use OF these materials viii In
crease the yields per acre snd help
supply the nations needs. the wise
farmer will at the same time strive
to get the largest finaueiai returns
from their use To do this. he must
exercise care in buying them as well
as in applyiag them.
The farmer should understand that
plants use fertilizers as foods only af-
ter they have been dissolved oy the
