IMPORTANT
DECISION
BANK MUST KNOW VALUE
OF ARTICLES HELD FOR
SAFE KEEPING.

Any person or institution
keeping free of charge certain
articles for another, is entitled
to know the value and nature of
the articles so put in his care. OF
he is not liable for such in case
of loss, was the decision of the
supreme court, handed down
Friday in the case Of Ii. V. Riggs
versus the Bank of Camas
Prairie as appellant.
In the acton, the case showed,
a tin box, said to contain STOP in
cash, certain papers and a gold
ring were left at the bank, to be
forwarded to Mr.. Riggs, upon
his leaving Grangeville. The
only testimony tending to show
that the bank was given notifi-
cation of the value of the box
was in the statement of Mrs.
Riggs, wife of the respondent in
the action, in which she testi-
fled before the lower court, that
she told the bank cashier receiv-
ing the box it contained papers
and other valuables."
There Almost a Year.
In April. 1917, almost year
after the box was left. Mr.. Riggs
returned to claim his property
and it could not be found. Ac-
tion was then brought in the low
er court, in which was featured
the wife's testimony. 1t was
further brought out that the
value of the ring left in the box
was SO, the box was worth
$3.50, and that the cost to re-
store the papers lost was $50.
Upon testimony the court found
that money to the amount of
STOP in currency had been left
with the papers and ring, and
judgment was entered for the
total against the bank. The
appeal was made to the supreme
court from this judgment.
The supreme court held that
the lower court erred in award.
ing the $702, claimed to have
been left in the box. 1t was
stated in the decision that /
statement of the value of the
ring and the papers were con
tanned in the words of Mrs
Riggs, when she told the cashie,
the box contained papers ant
other valuabies."
Bank Entitled TO Know.
However the court states, 18th,
appellant was entitled to know a
the time of receiving the box il
question. that it contained tn,
money that respondent claims I,
have been contained therein, o.
to know that its contents wer,
of such value as to require grea
care" and that the statement o
the wife contained no intimatiol
of the actual cash.
The judgment Of the lowe
court was therefore modified b,
deducting the sum of STOP an,
costs allowed by the trial court
and was affirmed at $61.50, tn
cost of the property without tn
cash claimed to have been lost.

BIDS WERE TOO HIGH.

The two bids submitted to the
directors of the Greencreek
school for the construction of a
modern school building for that
district were turned down by the
board it is stated on account of
both being too high and beyond
the appropriation voted for con-
struction of such a building. 1t
is understood that some changes
will be made in the plans, after
which bids will be called for
again.

TAXES.

How to reduce taxes is Worrying
officials throughout the nation, and
in South Carolina there is Just as
much worry about them as anywhere.
II We combine local, county state
and national taxes, in all their infinite
varieties. the tax payer with right
has the claim that he is overburden-
ed.
Yet in the face Of the heavy tax
levy bearing down on every person
in the country there is small talk
of curta!lment Of expenditures. In
fact, the national administration it.
self sets bad example 1t was hoped
dispatches said the other day, to keep
the years national tax raising orgy
down to three billion dollars, but va
rious departments demanded enIarg-
ed appropriations, and in view Of this
fact 500 million dollars had to be
added.
The bonded Indebtedness of nation.
states and counties is enormous, and
represents money expended in the
past which eventually must be paid.
And the average citizen Is having a
hard time meeting the payments.
The worst feature of the tax diff
fculty is that officials spend more
time devising ways to spend more
money than they utilize in an effort
to reduce taxation. The slogan seems
to be that the public can pay-and
all politicians and statesmen appear
to be alike in this mental attitude, no
matter what they may say on the

public platform or for public con-
st:mption in interviews.
This brings up the question of tax
exempt bond issues, which comprise
municipal and state bonds. Originally
this was done to encourage their sale
at the lowest possible rate OF inter
est. but in the intervening years such
enormous amounts have been issued
that the wealthy find in them an
easy and safe way to avoid just
share Of their taxation burdens. 1t is
estimated that many billions of dol
are thus free from taxation, when in
fact these bonds are owned by per-
sons we'll able to pay large share of
the taxation burdens.
The best plan for officials is to
quit spending money so lavishly and
get it firmly in their minds that the
main idea just now and for many
years should be to keep taxes down
to bed rock.

The strawberry crop was good the
berries brought fancy prices, and not
withstanding the excessive transpor-
tation charges, the crop turned out a
good net profit
When we hear such encouraging
news from other sections where the
lands are not so highly developed We
wonder what diversificati@n would do

Before Leasing at
High Rents Visit
jackson Heights
October Renting Problem Solved By
jackson Heights Apartments.

EOR some time distressed apartment
L tenants in New York have been
receiving from their landlords notices
to the effect that the rent will be ia
creased on the expiration of leases,
October Ist. This increase of rental
amounted, in some cases, to consider
ably more than 2s9s OF the already
high rental being paid.
A number of tenants and housewives
who have received such notices, and who
are more or less unfamiliar with real ,es-
tate conditions. have signed new leases
at considerable advances in rental. If
they had had friend to tell them
about the restricted Garden Apartment
colony at Jackson Heights, they would
have been able to save a substantial
part of their income instead of having
to pay an even greater rental; also to
have become their own landlord, thereby
eliminating all danger of rental increases
in the future.
At Jackson Heights there is the
opportunity to purchase new four, FIVE
and six room Garden Apartments on
a comparatively small initial pay
nent, and monthly payments thereafter.
The monthly payment would be equiv
alent to the rent they are now paying
providing they are paying $1oo to $3.50
per month";. The sum total of these
payments, for a little more than six
years, will pay for the apartment.
Tenants whose leases are about to
expire should investigate. by all means,
the Jackson Heights Plan of Tenant
Ownership of Garden Apartments before
signing a new lease for their present
apartment.
In times like these everyone owes it
to himself to save in living expenses
wherever, and whenever, he possibly
can. The opportunity TO do this, now,
is presented at Jackson Heights.
