CONSTANTINPOLE, Turkey, Nov.
20.-A visit to the ship Rion lying
in the Bosphorus convinced the writ
er that the reports of authorities that
all was well with the refugees are
misleading.
These people, who have spent sew
en- days on shipboard packed together
like sardines and under armed guards,
are begging for food. On the Rion
they had been four days without any
thing to eat or drink. The complete
lack Of water was the greatest hard
ship. When the correspondent
boarded the ship some of the ref
ugees frantically clawed at his
clothes and begged for bread and
water.
In the hospital part of the vessel
conditions were incredibly bae, the
patients lying with their wounds IN
washed and getting only one spoon
full of a dirty mess called food in
the course of the day. The people
were begging to be put ashore in
the fields or anywhere as on the ship
the crowding is unbearable.
The French are putting up 10000
tents in Constantinople and 10000
in Lemnos. 1t is only a question of
days before an epidemic breaks out,
so great is the filth and overcrowd-
ing. American sailors are giving
away their own rations.

BERLIN, Germany, Nov. 20.-Even
the most underpaid of Germany are
bowling with delight over a serious
report made, on the poorest man in
Germany" made by an official COM
mission appointed by the government
Of Saxony to look into the case of
the municipal cow herder in a small
city of SaXony, who is being paid
the magnificent wage of 200 marks
year, which at the. present rate
of exchange is equivalent to So in
American money The report re-
jects with indignation the inference
that the old man is underpaid.
"The man in question" reads the
finding of the committee, "has never
even applied for assistance from the
poor authorities. Besides drawing
200 marks year the man has the
full use of a hut which not only
has four walls but also a weather
proof roof. Besides he is permitted
to utilize the grass plot of 100 square
yards surrounding the hut. Under
these circumstances we must repu-
date most emphatically the charge
that the cow herder is underpaid."
The amusing part Of the whole
business is the fact that the members
of the commission recently threat
ened to strike unless their salaries
were raised to minimum Of 191, 900
marks (normally $6,750) a year be-
cause at is the lowest salary on
which anybody can live on in Ger
manv at the present time"

GIVE TAXPAYER
APPEAL RIGHTS
State Commission Members
Explain New Ruling.

Any taxpayer can appeal to the state
tax commission for a reassessment of his
property any time prior to April 20 each
year, according to a new rule Of the COM
mission explained today by members.
Under the true cash value system many
cases of discriminatory assessment came
to notice In the last year. In many cases
adjoining pieces of land of essentially the
same value per acre were assessed at
widely differing values, and the hori-
zOntal increases made the unfairness OF
the method more striking.
One effect of the new rule is TO reopen
consideration Of assessments, held to be
unfair, this year instead of delaying mat
Iters until 1928, when the next regular
appraisals will be made.
Beside giving taxpayers themselves the
right to reopen valuation cases, the new
rule provides that the county assessor,
treasurer and auditor, or any two Of
them can recommend reassessment OF
any property Gin order to maintain an
equitable and just valuation"
The tax commission also made public
an Interpretation Of rule 10, which re-
quires all taxpayers to answer interroga-
tories in the personal property schedule.
and requires corporations and unincor-
porated businesses to fill out a balance
sheet and give other information about
their assets and liabilities.
