Changes on Stock.
Cattle and sheep brought into
the state between April l and Sep
TENDER l are asseSsable at fun
value in the county into which
they are brought. The assessment
period of livestock is fixed as Of
April l, since prior to that time the
stockman cannot tell what their
losses through the winter have
been.
The powers and duties of the
assessor are specified and adequate
penalties are provided for the
failure to assess properly. in eff
feet, the schedule To he filed by
taxpayers are not to he used as
the basis of assessment, but only
as an aid to the assessor in getting
all property in the county on the
rolls.
The law for the collection of tax
es in the ordinary course contains
a very important provision, name
ly, that the taxes are made a per-
sonal obligation on the owner Of
the property or the person assessed
and may be collected out of any
property. In other words, per-
sonal property assessment may be
collected from the sale of real
estate.
Another important provision is
one by which it is made unlawful
to remove personal property from
the state without first paying taxes
upon it. There is a system out
lined for establishing and collect
ing the amount Of the tax in ad-
vance of the levy. The assessor
is also given the power of distraint,

The procedure for the collection
OF delinquent taxes Is simplified.
The practice Of printing the delin-
quent tax rolls Is abolished alto
gether and short notice referring
to the list on file is substituted.
The redemption period is cut from
three years to eighteen months
Provision Is made for judgments
against property and again9t per-
son.
Practically the same system as is
now in force is applied to the levy
ing of taxes. except that levies are
controlled not only by specific linn
itations as to rate but by a provi-
sion requiring them to conform to
and be within budgets or estimates
submitted to the state tax commits
sion and approved by that body.
The limits for the rates of levy
are: Three mills for the state, fiye
mills for the county, five mills fol-
the city. five mills for the specia
school district and eight mills fol
the county unit school. The pres
ent average for the county schoo
is little over nine mills, but Somt
counties run as high as fifteer
mills.
Levies are not to increase more
than per cent in any one year
The numerous exceptions with ref
year to year are eliminated. Al
taxing units are required to submi
budgets.

THE BANK OF

A bank is a business that pros
pers to the extent that it caters
to its customers, just as much as
a cigar stand.
A bank that renders service,
that pleases its customers, will
prosper and grow in size by rea-
son Of the popular approval of
the people who patronize it,
Confidence, respect and good
will are the results Of this kind
of service.
The State National Bank en-
Joys the good will of its patrons,
and its growth in this commu-
nifty has been steady during the
years it has been in business. It
grows larger and stronger with
each year, as its friends and sup
porters increase and advertise its
service.
Small deposits have made this
