SATURDAY EVENING LETTER
BY Justice J. E. Robinson

four mills on the dollar of the assess
ed valuation of all taxable property
in the state, and a sufficient. sum to
pay interest on the state debt. (Sec
174) .s .'I.E. +. ,,s,a.;,: y ~
No state tax shall be levied excep:
in pursuance Of law. and every law i'm.
posing a tax shall state distinctly tho
object OF the same, to which only it
shall be applied. tSec. l75)
The debt of any county, township,
city, town or school district shall not
exceed five per. cent Of the assessed
valuation Of the taxable property
therein. CSec. 1889 ~
Under the constitution each polit-
ical subdivision must levy its own
taxes and impose and base its own
burdens. It is for the state to levy
/ its own tax, to make each levy for a
specified public. purpose and to
limit the levies to four mills on tAe
dollar and the interest on the public
debt. Obviously, there is nothing in
the act-7to show the object of the g..
mill levy. The act does not state the
object Of the 3.mill levy or show It is
for public purpose. For the sever.
al reasons the levy is clearly void
The sum total Of all levies for the
necessary expenses Of the state must
not exceed 4 mills on the dollar in
any one year. This limitation it would
be quite impossible to fix and de-
termine If the state might levy on all
the different classes of property )
mills or 3 cents on the dollar, and II
the state may discriminate and levy
three mills on credits, why not three
cents on other classes of property?
T It seems we are having altogether
too much tinkering with tax legisla.
ton, and it is done for the purpose Of
raising excessive revenues. The only
safe course is to assess and tax all
property by uniform rule according to
it value in money and in every law
or resolution imposing a tax to state
distinctly the object Of the same.
The conclusion is that said chap
tiers 229 and 23O are void in so far as
they provide for the levy of 3-mill
tax on money and credits and in 50
far as they provide for the assessment
of money or credits not owned or helo
or used in this state. Hence, it is
ordered that in the making of assess
ments and tax levies under said chap
tiers, the defendants and all persons
acting under them shall conform to
this decision and that the REALTORS
shall not be required to list for assess,
ment and taxation any property, mon
ey or credits of non-residents, only
such as may be held and used in this
state regardless Of the fact that the
same may be secured on property
within the state.

from many lands seemed to goad him into de-
fensef 1t was of nature to chill the last hope in
any friend of peace. Two reasons he gave for the
reichstags action. One was that President Poin-
care of France, who had been but newly elected,
was a warike and dangerous man, and no one
could tell to what lengths he might go. The other
was that in the Balkan wars the Turks, taught by
German officers, had been beaten by the Serbians,
taught by French.
The judicious might greve indeed when they
came upon such an offering from such source,
and anybody able to read might see that war was
close at hand.

WITH THE EDITORS
THE PASSING OF THE HERALD

The Chicago Herald has been the stormy petrol
of the Chicago newspaper field ...,. r
Once again it figures in merger of newspa-
pers, and Chicago now has but six daily papers,
two morning and four evening.
1t was but few days ago that The Forum
had some comment on the modern tendency to-
ward fewer newspapers, and the Chicago situation
is pat enough to warrant a little repetition.
Only few years ago Chicago had seven morn
ing newspapers, The Tribune, Inter Ocean, Record,
Chronicle, Times, Globe and Herald. The Times
and Herald combined and later the Record was
taken in. Then The Examiner was started by Mr..
Hearst. The Globe and Chronicle suspended pub
lication and the Record Herald and 1nter-Ocean
combined to make the Herald. Now the new
Herald Examiner and Tribune divide the morning
field, and in the evening field are The News,
American, Journal and Post.
Despite the fact that MIR. Kelley, the editor OF
The Herald had the reputation of being one of the
most brilliant and resourceful men in American
journalism, The Herald is reputed to have lost
100000 last year. 1t is doubtful If all OF the eve
ming papers are paying ventures.
It is rather interesting to note that the ANAL
gamation, which gives Mr.. Hearst morning Asso-
ciated Press franchise in Chicago, comes just
when the supreme court is hearing the argument
of the case in which the Associated Press seeks
permanent injunction against Mr., Hearst's In
ternational news service, to prevent it pirating
news dispatches. Forum. a

THE WAR BEGAN IN APRIL, 1918

/ Charles Edward Russell in Harper's Magazine:
When did the war begin? April, 1913; not Aug
ust, 1914, as the press always has it. The real
declaration of war was made by the German
reichstag when it struck observing Europe dumb
and chill by passing an extraordinary war credit
Of $250,000,000; and to that act of belligerency
in time of profound peace the socialists in the
reichstag gave practically their support.
All men in the world accustomed to make upon
the days news an intelligent diagnosis must have
gasped and stared at this portent. Unless Ger
many deliberately planned now to bring down upon
mankind the war her armament had silently
threatened these many years, there was no good
reason for this perilous saber rattling certainly
none appeared in the state of Europe. Yet the
socialists seemed tobe for it; that was the ncom-
prehensible fact. .,>l'
August Bebel, then still active, was the ablest
and most famous Of their leaders, and criticism

bespIse the savoyards.

Even to the present day the Gen.
evese hate and despise the Savoyards,
their hereditary enemies, calling the
contemptuous attention Of the stranger
to the fact that these neighbors Of
theirs are unthrifty and still make
their women work In the fields, as they
did in former days. Fifteen minutes
ride in motorcar will carry one from
Geneva into Savoy.

TOUGH ON WALTER

Translated Into Enollsh.

All books Of the Old Testament
apocrypha, IA in number, have been
translated into English, and are includ-
ed as apochryphal books in some edi-
tons Of the Bible. They were for
merly printed under distinctive head

taments, and in that form can still be
found in many old family Bibles. They
are always included in the so-called
Septuagint, version Of the Bible used
by the Greek church.

THEY BUY WITH GOOD REASON

In our cities ranking high as cosmopolitan
cities, Poles seem to be most numerous among for
eigners buying bonds, with Bohemians next. It
indicates the strong desire of the little nations for
independence and individuality. -
It would be fine if out of this war should come
freedom and independence for the little peoples
who have served as mere war loot for the stronger
nations through the years.

STRONG IN HOPE FOR THE BEST

20 STRONG IN HOPE FOR THE BEST
The Washington dispatches of May l carried
this:
ITO date 10000 900 Americans have purchased
bonds-three million more subscribers than in the
second loan. But the per capita subscription, oW-
ing to the failure of the wealthy to respond, has
failed to put the loan over to date. The field has
been combed for all except the banks, who SO
largely floated the first and second loans
This loan, with its vast subscription list, rs
leaving the country in splendid financial condl-
ton, according to officers Of the federal reserve
board."S III. ~ %>sit,s - ::St%~ I l..@ .s
If the wealthy have failed to respond, this
time, it lis probably because they had to pay, or
must soon pay, their income taxes. fs q es%Hzt
But we don't think it the best plan that the
wealthy the banks, large capitalists of any sort
should become the chief creditors of the nation.
We agree with the federal reserve officers that the
vast list of subscribers is splendid. Twelve mil
lion subscribers means one in about every nine OF
the population. It would be ideal, If every man,
woman and child in the nation were creditor, as
bondholder or owner of a war savings book.
To call on the people and then have to demand
that the banks make up deficit hath an unhand-
some look, and, if this is made necessary because
the wealthy fail to respond the trouble can be doc
tored by increasing the tax on incomes, thus re-
ducng the need of issuing so many bonds. Certain
it is that every man is going to carry his part OF
the cost of this war; sooner or later, IN some way
or other. s..
But even while these words are written the list
of subscribers is rising and the Third Liberty
loan has gone over the top, to gladden. hearts
throughout all Christendom. ~,

ONE OF HIS ..DIvINE RIGHTS"

4 Berlin news is to the effect that the young
orang-outang by divine rights" born Crown
Prince of Prussia, is greatly interested in the Ger
mans long-range gun which bombards Paris and
has personally fired it off, Ito the high honor Of
the regular gunners"
We believe it. Shooting people up at distance
of 70 or Is miles is just about that crown prince
size. This feeble-minded but bloody-minded scion
of the house of Hohenzollern which gave to the
world it's curse in crazy William is accredited with
the command of grand army. It's simply in his
name for the sake of the family glory. He'd likely
faint away if compelled to actually lead "the army
of the crown prince" unless the said army saved
him the trouble by mutiny in terror Of being led
by the royal nincompoop.
4 That long-range gun has, thus far, wiped up
several homes of non-combatants, churchill Of
people on their knees on Good Friday and a ma
ternity hospital It would be interesting to know
which of these the crown princes firing, ito the
high honor of the regular artillery butchers,
brought down. The prince has all the arrogance,
concet and brutality of his sre besides the traits
Of coward, cad and roue To make that guns
massacre appropriate the princes shot should
have slaughtered the newly born and unborn babes
in that maternity hospital Maybe it did.
But, we're altruistic enough to hope that the
prince will yet be reformed. We hope to yet see
him engaged in some honest VOCATION like haul
ing fertilizer on farm, selling gum shoestrngs
and collar buttons at municipal market house.
He'll live for chance of such reformation if he
stays Is miles from Paris and within sound dis
lance of'his own guns only; and we guess he will.

General Diedrichs Urge
Speedy Assistance Of Allies
In Order to Save West
ern Siberia.
By Associated Press.

Vladivostok, Aug. l8.-General
Diedrichs, commander of the Czecho-
Slovak forces in Siberia, has pre-
sented a memorandum to the allied
representatives here, setting forth the
urgent need of speedy assistance on
large scale and that an advance on
Irkutsk had been ordered. He points
out that if the allied forces do not
reach Irkutsk within six weeks the
delay will be tantamount to the loss
of all western Siberia by the Czecho-
Slovaks.
General Diedrichs said that this
would leave Russia entirely at the
mercy of the Germans.

Expert Accountants
May Be Enrolled in
Volunteer Reserve

Washington, Aug. l8.-Expert &C
countants have become SO essential
to the war tax collections that the
government is considering steps to
prevent their being taken for army
service, and to enroll them in big
volunteer reserve similar to that be-
ing established for physicians. There
are only about $500 certified public
accountants and 5000 junior account
ants in the United States. Internal
Revenue Commissioner Roper's pro-
gram for collecting $8,000,000,000 of
taxes next year calls for employing
more than 1000 of these.
At present this number is not avail
able, particularly in view of the gov
ernment rate of pay and the fact that
nearly every corporation in the coun-
try is advertising for accountants.
The treasury has suggested to Presi-
dent Wilson that accountants be rec
ognized as class essential to the
war, like physicians, dentists and
chemists, and that they not only be
exempt from draft, but that some
plan be worked out to discourage their
enlistment, and to recognize their val
ue in civilian service.
