boards have these increased valua-

fication-our school meeting being
on the following day
The law says the State Board of
Equalization shall meet in February

Why was the individual kept in the
dark until April 4th, 1921, with no
knowledge or opportunity to appear
before this County Board and show
his excessive assessment! Thousands
of acres of land in Boone County are
assessed at more than their cash val

were these figures raising Boone

Now on the proposition to tax ev-
cry man and woman on the full value
of what they possess is proposition
upon which we can all agree. But
under our tax laws this cannot be
done and to single out farmers and
assess their lands at full value is un-
fair and ruinious.
Three-tourths of the farm land is |
mortgaged and farmers only own
equities in them.
If land is to be taxed at full value
then only the equity should be taxed.
otherwise we are taxing farmer on

The Truth About Taxes

Reprinted from the Centralia Fire
side Guard Of January 27th, 1922.
The following is an open letter, tc
Governor A. M. Hyde by a Boone
County farmer, who has delved int
the tax question with the sole purpose
of getting at the truth. This is the
best and most logical attempt we
have yet seen in an effort to get at
the truth about farm lands:
The letter was written by Hon.
Morton H. Pemberton, of Centralia,
who has carefully investigated the
raise in taxes from the beginning
leaving no stone unturned to get at
the truth of tn matter. This is good
reading and when the editor of the
Guard learned that Mr.. Pemberton
had this letter in preparation, we ask
ed him to give him permission to give
It the publicity its contents merited.
1t is good reading for Republicans as
we'll as Democrats, because the full
valuation assessment affects every
farmer in the state regardless of par
ty affiliations. 1t affects the cities
as well as the farms, because
of the -interdependent nature Of oJr
modernized social and economic ex-
istencc today. Read It and fiji. it for
future. reference because The fight or
this Single Tax measure is now OH.
The following are excerpts from the
letter:
Reuben says:
Full value assessments is the SIM
gle Tax in short skirts
No tax system is just which taxes
any man or woman full value on what
they do not possess.
Make Wealth Lay Its Cards on the
Table!
Tax every man and woman on
what They Own and not on what
they Owe!
You are making this rich mans
country; taxing the poor farm own

his home!

CONDITIONS
IN TONOP All
ARE VERY BAD

There is no question but that
Governor Boyle was right when he
said conditions in Tonopah were
very bad Not only are they very
bad, but probably worse than the
governor has any reason to expect.
It has just been discovered that
Ian attempt has been made to fire
the Mine Operators hospital. Waste
and burIap saturated with oil was
set on fire and thrown upon the reac
porch of the building, while a nurse
and the watchman had gone to the
front of the hospital to close some
windows in rooms that had been
fumigated and were being aired dur
ing the day On returning to the
back of the building they saw the
blaze, Immediately seized a fire ex-
tinguisher and subdued the flames.
Four men at this time were still
in the hospital recovering from in
juries they received at the fire which
destroyed the big Ship" Other
public places have been threatened
with destruction, and also some of
the business houses, which are now
being guarded with men with shot
guns loaded with buckshot, and it is
to be hoped that the cowardly ours
who would cause destruction by such
methods viii be apprehended or rid

TESTS MADE
OF HYDRANTS
and PRESSURE

J. B. Williams, representative OF
the White company, manufacturers OF
fire fighting equipment, yesterday
made a very exhaustive test of the
water mains and water pressure OF
the Tonopah water system, and has
come to the conclusion that with
the high-pressure system that is al
ready installed in Tonopah, an aux
Hilary pumping service, such as
would be given by a high,power fire
engine, is hardly necessary to in
crease the efficiency of the present
system.
Mr. Williams has made a practice
of following the system employed by
the fire underwriters in inspecting
pressures and size of water mains
before recommending the type of ap-
paratus to be used by towns in fight
ing fires. 1t is found that with
small fire mains where an engine cf
large pumping capacity is attached,
the mains are liable to buckle, owing
to the great force exerted and the
vacuum thus created Only so
much water can be secured from a
small main regardless of the amount
of pumping force exerted, and regard
less of the number Of streams that
are attach / to the same main, the
force cannot be increased.
Pressures of the various hydrants
in town were tested yesterday with
the following results: Natural pres.
sure from hydrant at depot, 1876
pounds, nozzle pressure As pounds
Guisti hydrant 1870 pounds, nozzle
SO pounds Mizpah hotel hydrant 115
pounds, nozzle 80 pounds; Floyd hy-
drant 1O3 pounds, nozzle 54 pounds
Florence avenue hydrant 100 pounds,
nozzle so pounds; Mccullough and
Central streets hydrant 95 pounds.
nozzle 43 pounds; Arizona and Bryaa
streets hydrant 72 pounds, nozzle 60
pounds.
In talking further concerning the
fighting of fires, Mr.. Williams States
that 92 per cent of all fires are put
out by chemicals and "a per cent
with chemicals and one line of hose,
corroborating the statement made re
peatedly that it is the first few min
.utes of fire that count.
