WASHINGTON CHAPEL
AT HIGH SCHOOL

In honor of the first president of
the United States the SIG pupils of
High school gathered for chapel exer-
cises in the school auditorium this
morning. A very successful program
arranged by members of the teaching
corps and the pupils was given, in
Guiding several new numbers by the
Hieh school orchestra.
The orchestra opened the program
with march, Our Merry Sailor
Boys by Bennett, and followed by
America" by the school.

commepdable manner, prefaced with
short talk on 1.-THE insurance policy

No improvement over the present
tax law is seen by Wayne county OIL
Gals in the new bill rushed through
the state lower house Thursday.
The new bill provides for the valua-
ton OF property of all kinds at SO
per cent of its cash market value In
stead OF 100 per cent, removal of tax
assessors for cause, and makes slight
changes In other provisions OF the
present law. The first clause is the
one which aroused most discussion.
While in theory the bill provides for
fairer valuation of property than has
resulted from the present system, 1t
will depend upon the honesty OF the
taxpayer and the efficiency of the
assessors whether the new bill will
raise or lower the valuation and the
tax-rate, and the belief was that the
result would lower county valuations
and raise the tax-rate.
The bill will mean a raise of 60 or
70 per cent in the valuation of real
estate and farm lands of the county.
Present valuation per acre of the lat
ter is $500, and the new valuation
will be much higher. Instances were
given of farm land in the county thar
sold for $3.50 per acre and were as
sessed at 1850, while hardly any
farm land would sell as low as twice
the present valuation.
Provided people who hold intangi-
bles, stocks in foreign corporations,
and other property not usually given
to assessors, can be induced to give
them in at their so per cent value in
stead of holding them secret, the new
bill will make valuation of county
property equal to the old and the
rates will not have to be raised.
But tax experts at the court house
hold the theory that a tax dodger will
dodge nd matter what the valuation
is, though instances were given of two
states where the valuation of intangi-
bles was lowered and the return of
them increased 400 or 500 per cent.
For instance, there is an estimated
value OF 100000 of building and
loan stock and like securities in Rich
mond and the county, but less than
$4,000 worth was given in for taxa
ton last year
Farmers about the court house were
very indignant at the provisions which
would tax them more heavily. They
said that If the amount of intangible
property were returned at it's true
value, there would be no need of rails
ing the rates on farm land, which they
believe high enough, and what the
legislature should do was to devise
some way to do that instead of chang
ing valuations.
Railroad property in the county
paid last year about $4,000 in taxes to
the county. AS the bill means a de-
crease of about Is per cent in railroad
tax valuations. the county's income
from them may be cut over $4,000
if the new bill goes through.
Commendable features of the bill
are that it allows the removal of
assessors, for cause. and increases the
pay of deputies Under the old pay
scale for deputies, difficulty was had
in securing competent men, while it
is believed no difficulty will arise with
the new pay.
SO far as Wayne county is concern
ed the whole question turns upon the

drive AGAINST
WASTE STARTED
BY ExPRESSMEN
Four-Minute Speakers Ask
Aid of Business Houses in
Campaign for Efficiency.

Ways and means for checking the
waste caused by improper wrapping
and marking of express shipments
were discussed today 1t the second
meeting of Richmond express en-
ployes, In the Better Service Cam
paign being conducted throughout the
country by the American Railway Elk
press company.
Agent H. B. Lee and members of
the local Better Service Campaign
committee, composed Of employees of
the city offices, acted as "Four-Min-
ute" speakers, and addressed meet
ings of men and women employed in
different branches OF the business
here. 1t was lntimated that through
the cooperation Of local business
houses the drive for higher standards
of preparing shipments for movement
by express was making itself felt. The
appearance Of express matter. being
handled through the city terminals
has greatly improved.
Particular emphasis during the
meetings was laid upon the immense
number Of shipments which must be
turned over to mo Mark Bureaus"
because all means Of Identification
have been lost a. the result of a SIN
gle tag being torn off or the wrapping
being insecure. This evil was attribut-
cd largely to the poor quality Of paper
and Irvine used by some shipping de-
partments, as we'll as to carelessness
IN addressing packages.
Work for Better Service
It was pointed out that the mo
Mark Bureaus" of the company re.
ceive on the average Of about fifty
shipments monthly from this city.
Despite constant effort to discover
some means Of setting these ship.
ments on the right track. only a small
percentage can be recovered. This
brings about a great deal Of dissat-
1sfaction between the shipper and the
consignee, to say nothing of the time
and trouble involved in filing a claim.
The expressmen at the meeting show.
ed no little enthusiasm, when Agent
III. B. Lee urged them to declare war
on this waste.
Never before in the history or trans
portation. the local express head de-
clared. has there been such deter
utility to better it's service. The drive
Is Of marked Importance to every
business man, because the subject
represents MdltcT VI uoAAdIs anu
cents to them. He expressed a be-
lief that II business heads would take
q personal interest in their shipping
departments to see that the best
methods were being followed in the
matter Of packing and marking ship
ments. 1t would be of great help in
bringing about better express service.
The cooperation Of shipper as abso-
lutely essential to the success of the
present drive, he said.
