operation of schools, paying the old soldiers and caring for the various needs of the state.
 The self-assessing plan is intrin- sically wrong. Valuation of property should not rest with the owner, be- cause he is biased in his own favor and because it is human nature for every man to wish to pay no more than his neighbor. This leads to a contest in avoiding the tax burden and it tends also to create tax dodgers.
 Impersonal assessment of the tax levy by a board not dependent on on popular vote is about as close to tax equalization as any system so far invented.

Businesslike Boys z z of Jefferson County
x K x

EHHROUGH its agricultural com-
 u mittee the Chamber of Con- merce purchased g. Jersey calves last spring and turned them over to members of the Jefferson County Boys Calf club. These boys gave notes for the purchase price. The notes were indorsed by the chamber and deposited for collection in a local bank, the calves being mean while insured until paid for.
 All but four of the boys have paid for the calves and .wn them. They have lesrned something about the care of cattle and they have also been inducted into the ways of busi- ness. It was far better to make them feel their financial responsibil- ity from the beginning to end than to make the acquisition of the calves savor in any manner of gratuity.
 The chamber helped the boys to secure the calves at minimum cost by purchasing the lot for cash. The entire proceeding has been one of building up from within, which is the best way of doing it.
