FRANCE IS LOSING =.
HER NAVAL RATING
BY John De Gandt

: Omitted Press Correspondent
Paris, Oct. 1. (By Mail.)-Should
there be another big war. in the near
future Argentine, Brazil and Chill
would be in position to give more
help to countries such as United
States and England than France, as
regards the power of her naval artil-
lery.>," ~ - "
+ This is the essence of an article in
lie Temps" which gives at length
kactual figures about the Brazilian,
Argentine and Chilean warships. It
says:
Before the era Of the dreadnaugnt
tho South American republics had
war navies adapted to the Importance
of their part in the world. Then the
European navies had guns much big
ger than the biggest South Ameri-
can guns, which rendered the latter
relatively powerless. But the dread
naught" came. Argentine, Chile and
Brazil understood that they must not
build fighting beaten in advance and
ordered abroad dreadnaughts able to
accept=a fight with any similar ship
existing.
"Thes change was complete. In
1914 the three South American re-
pubhcsf had feet including seven
warships comparable to those of the
European fleets. This feet was equal
to the present French fleet, il not SUI
perior,. because the Chilean dread
naught carried $50 millimeter guns
superior to the French $40 millimet-
er. Further the South American

real help to the American fleet if
difficulties had arisen with Europe.
''The question of the warship can
only have one solution; that it be at
least equal, possibly superior, to the
ships she may have to meet. The i'm
portance of the country to which she
may belong does not matter any
longer-the enemy alone does. And
yet, in France, we have not reached
the point where stood the South Am
erican' republics before 1914. We
adopted the same calibre of heavy ar
tillefy on. our .dreadnaughts several
years after them, and when England
decided to replace her 305 by the 343
we timfdly made out $40 milimeters,
while Chile chose 356. Our S4O's'
were not yet in use when England
had 3S1; Japan and the United States
possessed the 356, and were-on the
way to 4O7 and even 457."
The article terminates by urging
that every effort be made in France
to reach a point where her navy is
able to bring valuable help to the AL
lies. 1t warns France that she must
not lose her rank in the world nav
les.

COUNTY VALUATION IS. =
ON CONSTANT INCREASE

cattle, two years old and under three
years, 10 per cent; bulls, Is per cent;
all other cattle three years old and
over 25 per cent; sheep, all ages, 10
per cent; hogs, three years old and
over, 10 per cent; dogs 100 per cent:
The state levies for the coming
year in the various funds are in some
cases increased and in others decreas-
ed from the amounts in 1919. Rev.
enue fund for 1920 is $70,150 a de-
crease of 1896; road and bridge
fund, 100000 increase of $15,296;
sinking fund, 100000, increase $5,-
913; state rural highway fund, $685.
900 decrease, $2,952; sanitarium
fund \$14,8O decrease of $2,988;
poor fund $4,000 increase Of $19,-
754. The large increase in the poor
fund is accounted for by the fact that
in 1913 no poor fund was set aside
and when the county took over the
not funds for the purpose, conse-
Quently the increase for the coming
year is to cover the deficiency in
1919 as well as to care for the cur
rent years expense.
The assessed city valuation for the
coming year also shows. considerable
increase over this year. Real estate
assessed valuation is set at $751;
1O1 as against $1,2S8;73S of last
year. personal property $816,310 as
against $72S,2S4 last year. Monies
and credits for the coming year. are
$S1S,1SO. This makes the total as
sessment for the coming year 49,

The city levy proper is but $2,440
over last year being $780,. 20. The
total city rate including the school
tax however will be about 108 mills
as against 70 mills last year. This
large increase is brought about by
the increase in the school levy. The
1919-1920 levy for school purposes
was $4,000 while the 1S20-1921
levy will be $165,50O. This does not
mean that the difference of $4,000 is
the increase in expense of running
tho schools for the coming year. A
large portion Of this increase will be
used to take care Of last years ex-
