tried hard to get the State Commission to take OH the
raise, but succeeded only in getting small part taken
off. The State Commission insists that Morgan De on
an average with the other counties.
To get at the real truth of the matter and to locate
the reason for the countys valuation being raised we
have onv to look at home. The State Tax Commission
knows as does every citizen ofhs county, that the ap
proximate assessabe value of Morgan county is about
six million dollars and the Commission insists that we
pay taxes on something like that amount, and if every
body would list their property at It's fair assessabe val
lie there would be no necessity for the State Tax Com
mission to annually 'rase" The burden is that those
who have listed their property sufficiently high have an
additional burden while those who have listed too low
are not hurt by the raise It is the holders of much land
that are usually the tax dodgers If the owners of the
more valuable tracts would list them on reasonable
basis for taxation there would be occasion for the
State Ta Commission to annually raise the total valu
aon but it is useless for to try to get by without pay
ing our share of the taxation
The county Tax Commissioner should put his valu-
alton the property that he deems listed too low and
the Tax Commission could then adjust the values so
that would not be necessary increase the value Of
the property listed high enough in order to compel the
tax dodger to pay his rghtful proportion

history of the original Cautauqua Assembly by of it's founders
tells the story of American popular educational
which influenced the spread of women clubs and university schools

would have rung throughout the land, have
called forth million men and might have
averted the war"
"Just then a voice rang out from one OF
the seats-'As Douglas did, Joseph Cook
paused a moment. His chest swelled as he
drew in a breath, and then looking at the
man who had interrupted he spoke in that
powerful voice:
1.-The armament above the massive brow
of Daniel Webster was a vaster arch than
that over the narrow forehead of Stephen
A. Douglas and the lightning that rent the
clouds from the dying face of one would
never have been needed to bring daylight to
the other!'
II was seated beside the Rev Charles F.
Deems of New York, a Southerner by birth
. He turned to me and said That
was the most magnificent sentence l ever
heard!'"
There were giants in those days-at least
as to their voices; the mighty ancestors of
the still extant W. J. Bryan.
In the early days John B. Cough, the
temperance lecturer, familiar figure
at Chautauqua Here is excerpt from
one of his addresses:
II am an alumni (sic) of Amherst College;
NJ. A. / have a diploma, all in Latin
can't read a word of it and l don't know
what it means. When | was made
an alumni l sat on the platform of the com
mencement day; the salutatorian came up
and began to speak in Latin. He said some
thing to the president and he bowed and
smiled as If he understood it. He
said something to the graduating class and
they seemed 20 enjoy it-all in Latin.
| kept saying to myself: 4 wish that he
would speak just word that / could
understand Finally the orator turned
straight in my direction and said 1gno-
ramus.' ] smiled and bowed, just as the
others had There was word that
could understand, and it exactly fitted me-"
At an early stage of its progress Chau-
tauqua began to be sort Of public forum
for the discussion of problems of the day
Politicians and other enthusiasts were not
slow to see it's possibilities. The founders
and their assistants managed, very skifully,
to maintain the openness of discussion with
out allowing the propagandist lor zealot too
free a hand. Some great movements re-
ceived unqualified approval. Few. perhaps,
realize that the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union grew out of a small meeting at
Chautauaua in 1874. Frances Willard was
the first woman to speak from the Chautau-
qua platform, in 1876. Incidentally, DIR.
Hurlbut points out that very many of the
older and more important women's clubs OF
the country began either directly or in
directly in a Chautauqua circle.
Chautauqua is also entitled to be called
the parent of the whole summer school sys-
tenn not merely in the direct limitations OF
Chautauaua itself of which there are more
than 10000 but more broadly. The collegiate
summer school-e. G., Columbia's present
session with it's 10000 students-is in part
an adoption of the original Chautauqua

Traffic management arrests, the Bertillon
system finger printing. enter into the scheme
of the author whose aim has been to cover
his subject without emitting details. An
interesting sub head has to deal with women
prisoners and police matrons. and newer
one and even more interesting is that con-
cerning police women The latter section
could not be quite up TO date, naturally.
The author speaks Of Mrs. O'Grady as still
performing police duties although it is now
some months since she resigned from her
office.
In the same spirit of calm investigation,
Resulting in high praise. the author goes into
the subject of delinquent courts and the
treatment of children. Quoting from Judge
Tuthill of Chicago in the last days of 1919
that the state has educated children In
crime and the harvest is great" Mr.. Graper
remarks upon the countrywide Improvement
In these matters. At present, he says. the
juvenile or children's court seems TO be
firmly established.
In his chapter headed Compensation and
Welfare" the author reviews the subject
with its arguments pro and con Of policemen
forming protective union. In this chap
ter the great policemen's strike Of Boston
comes In for full review our author finds
no compensating conditions TO save the po-
licemen from being stigmatized as deserters.
In his conclusion of the matter he says:
"The police force is one of the most essen
tial of government It's members assume the
burden of law and order. They stand be-
tween the peaceful citizen in his lawful pur-
suits and the forces that would endanger
his life and his property IL seems there
fore that an alliance Of policemen with any
one group Of society such as labor unions
Is fundamentally wrong
That this Is the way the public regarded
the "deserters" OF Boston was clearly shown
at the time Other statements of Mr.. Graper
in his useful and informing book on police
matters appear TO be less obvious because
of a less general knowledge of police affairs
throughout the country. To draw them to-
gether for comparison was an interesting
work Of collation. and to administrators Of
the peace and happiness Of any city it Is
undoubtedly work Of real value.
