ASSESSMENT TAKES
BIG JUMP IN 1878
Valuations Reported by Kansas
Tax Commission Total $3,-
41S,599,S07, an Increase
Of S343,524,504

The assessment In Kansas during
1918, loosely made, resulted in the ag-
gregate assessment Of the state
reaching the sum Of $S,A1s,5s9, BOT.
which is an increase in valuation over
1917, as shown by the report Of the
state tax commission to the legisla-
ture, Of SS4S,524,5O4. OF this in
creased assessment above last year
the clases Of property shared as fol-
lows: Land, $14O,053,S5S; lots, $24.-
2s7 ,757; personal property, $169,S4S'-
S49. and public service corporations
So, 1886.
The system" Of assaying property
in Kansas is again exploited and dis
cussed at length by the state tax COM
mission. The incompetency Of many
local assessors, the limited time in
which they must cover their taxing
district, and their lack Of training IN
this important work, is cited to make
the point that the public should have
as competent service as usually ii
found IN private life.
The tax commission again recon-
mends that the present system Of as
sessment, participated in by approx
mately 1000 assessors of varying
qualifications and different opinions
as to values, be replaced by the sub
stitution of a system making the
county the unit assessment district
and by placing the work of assess
ment in the hands of a county assess
or, so that one judgment formed by
research and expert knowledge Of
values may fix uniform values upon
all property in the county.

"ShOW me-"

"Show me-"
Clay Wimburn came in after dinner.
His protests against Daphne's project
were louder than Bayard's, with the
added rancor of jealousy. But he had
no substitute to offer.
She forebore to tell him of the Gerst
affair. He was deep enough in the
mire. He went away little later and
she returned to her cubbyhole with
the Chivvises.
Those were black days for all Amer
lea, suffering under the backfire from
the sudden war and from the long ia
tigue of hard times. There were weeks
of dread lest the United States be
sucked into the maelstrom at time
when it was least prepared in money,
arms, or spirit. Never, perhaps, In hui
man chronicle had so many people
looked with such bewildered misery
on so many people locked in such
multifarious carnage.
At such a time, as In an epoch of
plague, there came q desperate need
Of a. respite from woe; soldiers sky
larked in trenches; war widows
danced in gay colors; festivals were
held in the name Of charity; frivoli-
ties and vices were resorted to that
good souls might renew themselves
for the awful work before them.
1t was in such mood of imperative
demand for cheer of some sort that
Tom Duane SWAN back into Daphne's
gloomy sky.
Daphne had come home after a
morning Of rebuffs. She was heart
sore and footsore, in shabby boots
that she could not replace. She was
called to the telephone, and Duane's
voice chanted in her ear with a tone
Of peculiarly comforting melancholy.
"That you, Miss Kip7 This is me,
Mr.. Duane. Poor Tom Duane. Poor
Toms a-cold. I came back to town
Unexpectedly early. I have something
important to say to you. Will you
take little ride with me in my CARP
"Why not?" she said, with laugh.
She was glad that he could not see the
tears that gushed across her eyelids.
"Three cheers for you'll I'll be there
in a fifty. You couldn't arrange to
dine with me, could you? Or could
your"
Again she answered, "Why not?"
Duane's voice rang back: "Tip-top
You've made me happy as box of
pups. I'm halfway there already"
