The report of the State Tax Com
mission calls for boost in the assess
ed valuation of the property of Mis-
souri, to about twice what it was in
1920. To be exact, the raise over last
year is 1884 ,621 ,269, making total
assessment for the present year of
$A,670,8l6,155. Yet we understand the
war is over. But it is not entirely be-
yond the realm Of possibility there
may be trouble if some effort is not
made toward reducing taxation, rath-
er than doubling it up in such manner,
in times of peace. The people in gen.
eral already have an ear full of such
high-handed practices.

bad habit of staying out nights and
his mistress decided that it had to be
stopped. Next morning. Thomas
struggled wearily back home, bat
tered and scratched and very much

After his release he ran out in the
back yard and leaped over the fence
with one bound, then over the neigh
boris fence, and again over the next
neighbor's fence. His mistress. sur
prised at his antics, hurridly called
her better half's attention to the fact
that Thomas was probably gone for

On Feb. 5, the following year she appealed to the board Of relief, which reduced the valuation to ss.0o0.
 Mrs. Sullivan claims that the valuation of ss.o0o is unjust. unreasonable. exces- sive and disproportionate to other valu- ations In the city.
 After the case was placed before the judge, the court took a recess and went to inspect the property in Williams street Attorney Frank L. Mcclure is counse for the plaintiff and Director of Law Philip z Hankey represents the city.
