is STRIKING AT
LOW ASSESSMENTS
Stone Would Limit Insurance To
Assessed Valuation OF Property.
Bill On Calendar.

The Stone bill, placed on the Sen.
ate calendar Friday afternoon seeking
to put stop to the low values placed
on personal property when returned
for assessment, has aroused intense
interest among the lawmakers.
If it is the desire to the legislature
to compel property owners to turn in
this class Of property at something
like its value, Mr. Stone, it is believ-
ed, has evolved a plan that will do
the work.
The title of the bill is about the
cleyerest bit of phrasing that has
been accomplished at this session. At
first glance the proposed statute
would appear to be an insurance
measure, but it is much more than
that. The title says ian act to limit
insurance on personal property to the
value of such property, and to take
the owners assessment of the value
to be true for such purpose
Here is how it would work, if put
into effect. Suppose a property owner
is carrying an insurance policy for
$1,000 on his household effects. He
would be compelled, under the pro-
visions of the Stone bill, to also turn
in his personally in that sum to the
assessor, instead Of putting it at $3.50,
which is about the average of what
is usually turned in for household ef-
fects. Furthermore, in event of loss
by fire, the owner could not recover
from the insurance company more
than the amount for which he hal
the property listed on the assessment
books.
As the bill is Of statewide interest,
its provisions are given in full as fol.
lows:
"Section /. That it shall be unlaw-
full for any person, firm, association,
limited partnership or corporation
being, or as, the owner of personal
property to collect, demand, recover
or enforce the payment Of any in
surance for loss of, or damage to,
such personal property in excess of
the value of the same as fixed by such
owner for assessment for State and
County taxes, and as increased after
the date as of which it was so asses
sed by such owner, on or under any
insurance contract, policy, or policies
issued after an assessment Of such
personal property has been made by
such owner, after the adoption Of this
Act.
Section 2 That this Act shall not
apply to or affect in any way, the
claims or rights of anyone or more
claiming or holding in any capacity
or by any right, other than that OF
owner; and one acquiring the right
to insure such property as owner af-
ter its last assessment, is not and
shall not be taken as an owner who
under this Act is not permitted to
collect insurance in excess Of the val
ue Of the property as herein provided
for; nor shall an assignee of any in.
surance policy or contract on sueh
property who acquired such policy OF
contract in good faith for value, be.
for loss Of or damage to such prop
erty, be taken as an owner who under
this Act is not permitted to collect
insurance in excess Of the value ol
the property as herein provided for
and the assignment Of such insuranc,
policy or contract after loss or dam
age against which such insurance is
claimed shall transfer no greater
rights or benefits than those Of tn,
assignor,

THE BIBLE IN THE HOME.

Last year. we understand that six
million copies of the New Testament
were sold in America. We wonder
how many copies of the Old Tesla

is real pathos in these figures for

breeding anti-Semitism. Much into'-

ton. which can best be overcome by
correct edition of the Hebrew text.

B'NAI FIRTH MEETING SUNDAY.
Campaign for Funds for Cleveland
Orphan Home Now On.

Denver Lodge No. III, I, o. B. B..
will hold regular meeting next Sun
day morning. Officers for the year
1921 will be nominated Mt this meet
ing, and many matters of interest will
be brought up for consideration.
'Bootlegging-The Moonshine Men
ace" will be presented by two speak
ers. Messrs. A. B. Cowen and Gustave
J. Ornauer.
The lodge is now conducting cam
phan Home. This well known institn-
ton was established by the B'nal
Firth more than fifty years ago and
has been the standard of orphan
homes turnout the country. Owing to
the economic situation of the past
four years this Home has been eff
fected financially, and it now faces a
very heavy deficit.
Colorado is part of the district which
maintains this Home, and Denver
alone has had as many as thirty to
forty children in it at time-quite
{ big proportion of the 800 children
which it shelters.
The Denver community is therefore
under great obligation to the Home.
and should come to it's assistance and
help to wipe out the deficit which it
helped to create.
The officers of the B'nai Birth
lodge are in charge of this campaign,
and contributions from five dollars
up are urgently solicited from all who
are willing to aid this worthy Home.
Contributions are to be sent to S.
Prudential. secretary, 1876 Empire
