ne will use every effort to bring
the commission closer to the
people. His plan is to hold group
meetings of the association of

Members of county courts and

such advice as will help to bring

property of the state. Mr.. Will

services of some man in each

valuing real property at the
right value in order that there

Spelling Hun Bombs.

How one American prisoner
in an enemy country did his
part toward winning the war
was disclosed by a soldier re-
Gently returned from France.
Just before the armistice was
signed, the soldier related, there
was a heavy aerial lombard
ment by the Germans not far
from Metz. Fortunately it had
been raining, and most of the
bombs sank into the mud with
out exploding. Some Frenchmen
gathered them together for the
purpose of rendering them
harmless and on opening one
found it quite empty except for
this message:
Pm doing my bit. Are you
doing yours ?"
The note was signed "An A
merican prisoner in Germany"
Apparently the prisoner had
been put to work in a German
munitions plant and, whenever
the opportunity presented itself,
had turned out harmless bombs.

JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
State Board Increases Valuation
TO OFF Set Loss by Prohibit
By Means Raw

~ mNdMc nay
The State Board of Equaliza.
ton has fixed the assessed valu.
alton of all property in the state
for this year at $2,271,2O5, 994
The value fixed by the Board is
an increase of approximately
twenty per cent, which is a re-
suit of the adoption of the Fed
eral prohibition amendment
which will result in quite a loss
in the states revenues.
The meeting of the Board was
attended by Governor Gardner,
Attorney General McAllister,
State Treasurer Middlekamp and
Secretary of State Sullivan. Au-
ditor Hackmann was not there.
There has been much specula-
tion as to what he would finally
do on this question about the
Capitol but none predicted that
he would not be at the meeting.
Mr.. Hackman states that he was
not "side-stepping" the matter.
1t is believed by most every
one that the increase which will
give the revenue of the state a
hike of 20 per cent, is suf-
fcient to care for the necessary
expenditures of the common
wealth during the present dec
ade,
The assessment of various
classes of property in the state

A startling fact was discover
ed by a comparison of the as
sessments of st. Louis and Kan
sas City when it was shown
that practically $6,OOO,O 900 more

turned in for taxes by Kansas

The Board reduced the valua-
ton fixed by the old Tax Com
mission which placed it at $4,-

The reduction was voted by
General McAllister, Treasurer
Middlecamp and Secretary Sulli-
van. 1t was opposed by Govern

Recently in New York it became known
that the Creel foreign press bureau, sew

dustrious humming typewriters would
become inactive on January /. Where
fore it appears that Mr.. Creel has only
begun to quit, and will not be entirely SO
for-some moons yet.
The foreign press bureau, it is explain
ed, was conducted quietly, it being the
wish and desire of Creel that as much as
possible of the work should be unknown
in America In contributing to the gay
ETY. of nations Mr.. Creel has denied his
own of share of his merriment.

and said furthermore, l think it smacks
