ITO HIM THAT HATH. :"

Great minds may not always run
in the same channel, but official Re-
publican minds seem to track pretty
we'll with each other when it comes
TO distributing the favors and placing
the burdens. Witness the tax rcduc-
ton programs of President Harding
and Governor Hyde.
Both gentlemen are avowedly tor
the reduction of taxes,-and suDstan-
tial reductions at that, and agreeing
on that point, their minds still tan
gent, they agree further on whose
taxes shall be reduced.
The national administration seems
TO have arrived at program which
calls for the repeal of the excess
profits tax, the repeal of the luxuries
tax, and the repeal Of the higher in
come surtaXes.
Governor Hydes tax reduction
program includes reduction OF the
state income tax, increasing the eN-
emptions for inheritance tax and a
fifty per cent reduction OF the corpor-
alton franchise tax.
Under President Harding de-
lightfu plan the profiteers, the idle
rich who purchase luxurics, and those
having incomes so large that they
come under the surtax schedules
will benefit to the tune OF some
thing like six hundred million dol
lars. Under Governor Hyde
scheme, the corporations, the heirs OF
large estates and those who are SO
fortunate as to have incomes to pay
taxes on will be relieved of much OF
their odious burdens of taxation.
OF course, some one VIII nave &c
make up in taxes what these people
save, but then there is always the
farmer and the laborer and the small
business man who can always be re-
lied upon to dig up few more dol
lars apiece in taxes and what's few
.shekels to the common herd i
Uncle John D. can be saved fe"
million dollars thereby?
Large campaign. contributions mus
be paid for some way.

Mother Gossip had told Mr.. Wood

You want to add to 1t and make 1t

A well-known Loop restaurant in
Chicago suddenly found itself flooded
with business. Tired business men
came in with tagging steps. took one
look. popped UP. and went to their
tables with sprightlv step.
The flicker of cute little red trouser7
cites. worn by all of the mattresses,
was the cause.
The idea of putting pants on wait
resses-or half pants. to be mathemat1
ically correct-originated with the
manager, as result OF the installa-
ton of mural painting showing
number of relocated, be-breechei
ladies participating in a fox hunt.
For the sake of harmony and color
scheme, he decided to garb the wait
resses accordingly. The only differ
ence between the costumes of the
painting and those of the mattresses is
that the latter wear silk stockings in
stead OF riding boots.

The most important declaratio,
the new assessment is that con,airo1
in the following:
All property. both real and perso,o,
IN any county, whether it be assessed
by the assessor. or by the Rood -,
Public Works, or any other nerso, =.
officer or tribunal. after Iulv 100,
shall be assessed at its true and actual

And the new act provides further.
1T shall be the duty of the assessor

And the machinery of the Tax
commissioners Office Of the State cap

assessor does his full duty and that the
holder Of real estate does not escape
the statute. In the event that the as.
SCISSOR fails in his duty. the Tax Com.
missioner IS given full authority to pro.

and further to make the correction

Experts in the valuation estate and
personal property who appeared before
the legislature committees at Charles

an adequate and proper administration
OF the assessment law of the State. a.
provided by this new measure, the to!
tai property valuation for taxation
would be increased at least double. and
in some sections where the evasion has
been notorious, it would be trebled
With proper administration of this
new method Of arriving at the valuation
of property for taxation it is believed
the financial problems Of the State
have in a great measure been solved.
