According to her belief that
the Church of Christ was the
greatest institution in the world,
she freely donated one acre of
land upon which she desired the
erection of a church, and through
her influence, willing hands and
earnest hearts were blended to-

of her heart was gratitied. One

her worthy pastor, Rev. M. A.

Statement by Governor on Rsva|ua!i,n and
New Tax Rate.

hlUcI ilCttiiiS OhSlSpoi ~ iiiuuS
by the District Supervisors in
charge Of the Revaluation Act,
and after a full conference with
the State Budget Commission, the
State Tax Commission, and the
State Treasurer, | find that will
be justified in giving to the peo-
pie of the State the following in,
formation:
propose to submit to thespe-
cial session of the General AS.
sembly which is expected tomeet
in July, the following recommen.
dations:
1. That the State take no ad-
vantage Of that part of the Reval.
uation Act which authorized aten
per cent increase of revenues for
the year 1920, but thatthe Gener.
al Assembly fix a rate for 1920
that will yield for all State pur-
poses exactly the same amount
of revenue from real and person
al property as was collected in
the year 1919. There may beone
exception to this recommends
ton and that is that it may be
necessary to increase the funds
provided by the State for public
schools to the extent Of five per
cent, certainly notmore than this.
This increase will be only half
the amount contemplated by the
General Assembly of 1919 for
this specific purpose.
PURELY EQUALIZATION ACT.
It will thus be seen, in the light
of this recommendation, that the
Revaluation Act becomes one of
equalization, pure andsimple, and
withahe vast quantities of prop
erty how going on the tax books
that, was not taxed at all hereto
fore, both of lands and ofintangi.
BILE personal property, it is GER
tain that many thouaands of tax
payers will actually pay less tax
es in 1920, than they paid in 1919
2. l will also recommend thai
there be inserted in the Revalua
ton Act a clause providing thai
in any year at any time beforethf
taxes are actually levied by thu
county authorities, any property
owner may ask for a re-assess
ment of his property upon filing
an affidavit supported by twodis
interested freeholders that hi
property is on the tax books at
sum greater than it's market va
ue.
8. | will also recommend t
the special session of the Gener'
Assembly that there be embot
led in the Constitutional ament
ments now pending and to be vt
ted on in November a provlsio
greatly reducing the presenter
stitutional limitation of 66h cent
on the one hundred dollars wort
L of property. 1t was the purpo'
of the Finance Committee of tn
House and Senate to revise tn
limitation downwards. Its no
apparent that the revised valu
tions will be large enough to pc
nit q substantial reduction
of this limitation, and will leave
reasonable margin for the nece
sites of cur future developmer
just what figure will be a prop
limitation cannot be determin
until the total values under t
new assessment are ascertaine

Washington, Mar. 31.-(Special cor
respondence)-A bill creating the Of
flee of Federal Coal Commissioner
with power to study the coal market
and the mining of coal has been in
troduced by Senator Frelinghuysen, of
New Jersey. The bill provides that
the commissioner shall be appointed
by the President, with the consent of
the Senate, to hold office five years,
salary, $4,000. The commissioner
will be empowered 10 make investiga-
tions into wholesale or retail coal busi-
ness, to subpoena any persons or ex-
anime the books of any corporation.
He would be intrusted with problems
arising from wages, hours and work
ing conditions and with methods Of
storing or hauling coal. In its dis
tribution he would consult with the
Interstate Commerce Commission. An
nual reports to Congress on conditions
in the coal industry throughout the
country will be required.

To meet this paper shortage pub

forestry management, which means the
production of repeated crops of timber
