Is valued at twice the former figure,
the tax rate itself will be cut, perhaps
in half, and the amount of taxes paid
by any property-holder will be the
same or only slightly more.
Since many kinds of property, notes,
loans, taxable stocks and bonds and
others have always been taxed at their
true market value, with exemptions in
certain cases, and the amount of taxes
on these has amounted to more than
3 per cent, for SO many years: much
relief is expected by holders of this
class of property.
Their property can be assessed no
higher and the expectation is that the
tax rate will be cut in half, so that
they will find themselves paying ap-
proximately half the amount Of taxes
they paid last year and this year.
County, township and state tax
rates are expected to be lowered more
than the city rate by the new valua,
tions, as the property on which these
are levied will be much raised in val
ue by the new assessment. he rate
for city taxpayers, however, will not
be lowered as much as those of the
county, it is thought, because city
values have always been high for tax
alton purposes.

ARMY TERMS

Military Experts Attend Ses-

datory for Turkey is Con-
sidered by Conference.
CHINESE WILL SIGN
tBy Associated Press,

10y AsSOCiaIeQ freBS1
PARIS. May 23.-The council Of four
met this morning and discussed the
military terms and clauses relative
to prisoners Of war which win be in
corporated In the treaty with Austria.
Military experts attended the session.
The Chinese delegation to the peace
conference is understood to have
reached decision to sign the treaty Of
peace with reservations relative to
Kao-Chau and Shantung. 1t Is said
that this will not affect the treaty
as a whole and viii preserve the
rights Of China
Precedents are cited In which the
United States senate has similarly at
tached reservations to treaties before
ratifying them
Suggests Mandatory
Henry Morgenthau, former Amerf-
can ambassador to Turkey, has sub
mitted a memorandum to President
Wilson concerning the proposal that
the United States should become man
datory for Constantinople. It Is un-
derstood that he favors the inclusion
Of Constantinople, Ana-tolia and Ar
menia under one mandate, as being
advantageous for administrative pur~
poses by combining a large section Of
northern Asia Minor under one GEN.
trail administration.
The question of mandates for va
rious parts of Turkey Is before the
council Of four and has not been final
ly settled. British and French senti-
ment is favorable to the United States
taking the mandate for ConstantinopIe
and similar movement is apparently
gaining ground in the American dele
cation but it Is stated authoritatively
that acceptance must be conditioned
on the submission of the question to
congress.
President Wilson's Recommendation
relative to accepting Q mandate for
Constantinople will depend largely
upon the report Of commission Great
ed today for the investigation Of con-
ditions in Syria, Henry Churchill
| King, president Of Oberlin college, and
| Charles r. Crane will be the American
representatives and will have col
| leagues from the allied and associated
powers. The commission will leave
Immediately to study conditions in
| Turkey Until its report has been
received, 1t is not probable any action
will be taken concerning the super
vision of Constantinople.
Concessions Made.
Concessions on some points in the
peace treaty have been made to the
Germans by the Paris peace confer
ence. Slight notifications have been
made In the terms of the Sarre valley
award, and the terms regarding re-
parations, as they stood in the original
text Of the peace treaty, also have
been modified in some degree.
The fact that the council of four had
decided to make these notifications
was reported In dispatch from Paris
late last night. The message, how
ever, did not indicate just what were
the alterations decided upon. These
are expected to be developed in part
with the handing to the Germans to-
day Of the councils reply to the Ger
man note on reparations. There were
no indications, however, when the ex-
act nature Of the concessions made
regarding the Sarre valley would be
| revealed.

COUNTY ASSESSMENT DOUBLED, BUT
PROPERTY OWNERS TO PAY NO MORE

Increases In the assessment of prop
erty for taxation purposes, amounting
to more than 100 per cent over the
1918 valuations, are found in the
assessors reports Of four Wayne coun-
ty townships which have been turned
in to the county auditors office.
The assessors books for Abingdon,
Boston, Franklin and Webster town
ships had been brought in Friday.
The total 1919 assessment Of all tax
able property for the four was about
$7,750,000, against 1918 total of about
$3,320,O0O.
The indications from these figures,
said courthouse officials are that the
total valuation of the county would be
just about doubled. While these re-
ports show the increase to be much
more than double, It is expected that
the Richmond valuations will be less
than that, SO that the average over
the county probably will be near 100
per cent.
City VIII Show Slight Gain.
Richmond real estate has for years
been assessed nearer its true market
value than real estate in the outlying
townships, and 1t is expected to show
much smaller increase this spring
than the farm properties Of the coun.
ty. Personal property in Richmond
is increased about the same as that
in the county.
A feature of the report Of these four
townships is the tremendous increase
on real estate, and the slight raise oil
personal property and other taxables
| in comparison.
Tho rooI 70 {ofoJ Pov %b aeo %oxx,y,
ships for 1919 was about S6,660, ,0OC
against total for 1a1S of only slightly
| over $2.200,000, or an increase Of about
| assessed in 1918 at $1,090.000, this
spring increased only to $1,327 900, OF
about one-quarter.
Bonds Taken Into Account.
Reasons for this condition are sai6
to be first, the large purchases Of Lib
| erty bonds OF the issues which have
been foated since last spring. AS they
are not taxable, the great amount oi
! money invested in them is withdraw
from the tax assessments.
| Another reason is that intangib1es
are not coming out of hiding as wa!
expected, in spite Of the fact that the,
are more reasonably treated this yea
| than ever before.
County officials again laid emphasi
in the fact which they said was no
yet understood by many people tha
the increased assessments of propert,
for taxation purposes would not rails,
the actual amount of taxes paid thi
year, and that in some cases tn
amount of money actually paid in tax
es might be lower.
This is because Of the fact that n,
increase in the tax levy is allowe
over last years levey without pet
ton to the state tax board. The boar,
has shown by its treatment of pet
tions which would largely raise tn
tax rate, that it is not going to ALLOW
large increases in any county or col
poration.
! So, as the same amount Of none
is to be raised from property whicl
for the purpose of raising that none
