Twenty Two
Blind Pensioned
In Audrain

Twenty-Five persons in Audrain
County r now receiving pensions un-
der the law passed by the legislature
of Missouri providing for pensions
for the deserving blind. The first APP
plication for such a pension was made

tain.
The others whose applications for
such a pension have been approved
are: Luna L. Ball, j. F. Dawson,
Sarah Irving, Lucy Gregg, Hender-
son Gray, James F. Young, Wallace
B. wager, William Anthony Barnes,
Henry Weekly, G. w. Huff, Minor
Ford, Robert Lindsey, Susan F,

yided for by taxation after an amend
ment to the state constitution haG
been voted.
The pension although not large
amounting to something like 5000
year, it will be sufficient in man!
cases to save the aged blind iron
having to spend their last days in tn

THE New Map of Asia" by Her.
bert Adams Gibbons is the text that
has formed the background for en-
thusiastic lessons for the Chautauqua
Circle during the past three weeks.
Tuesday afternoon the Circle met
with Mrs. Ovens Adams as leader.
Mrs. Adams intelligent grasp of
some of these battling questions was
quite an aid to the enjoyment of the
lesson. The Portuguese and Dutch
in Asia afforded the subject of a talk
by Mrs. Earl Brown.
The question of the United States
in the Philippines, discussed by Mrs
w. G. Blattner, acquainted the circle
with the great benefits that the is
lands have derived from being under
our protection and convinced then
that the time was not yet ripe for thu
Philippines to be given complete in
dependence.
The remainder of the period wa
taken up with the Young Turk move
ment. The Ottoman Empire will ais
be under discussion at the next meet

HARDIN coLLEGE TODAY.

THE Gee of Hardin College
under the efficient direction Of S. ],
Vaughn, who became president OF
this institution last year, is most
gratifying to the people Of Mexico.
Hardin is the only women's college
in the state whose enrolment is 100
per cent at this time or, for that
matter, was 100 per cent at the open
ing of school last Fall. The enroll
ment is not only a matter to be pleas
ed with but the business of the
school is such that its efficiency under
his direction will e the school end
the year, unless something unforeseen
and unusual occurs, well within its
budget and with something left over
to start next years work. This is
a condition the institution has been
unable to boast of for several years.
We make this announcement because
we know the people of Mexico are in
terested in Hardin sufficiently to be
glad to hear it and that they will
give even greater support to the
college in the future feeling that ne
will continue to handle the school to
the best advantage and promote its In
terest along those lines which have
been planned and which should ma
t~erialize within a no distant date,
in a substantial and lasting way.

THE Ledger has never been enthus-
iastic about out-of-town producers
ccming into this city and giving en-
tertainments of local talent for some
Mexico organization. We have always
felt that it was a poor way to raise
money. As an illustration a home
talent production was given in Fulton
Last week for the American Legion.
The sale of tickets brought in over a
thousand dollars but the Legion's
share of the profits was $79. In other
words the people of Fulton extended
their support to the Legion to the
amount of $1,000 and the bulk OF the
sum went to the producers who came
In for a week or ten days. Our idea is
that such entertainments should be
staged by the home people 50 that the
local organization instead of the out
of-town promoter would receive the
bulk of the money, We have people
here fully as capable Of staging sucf
affairs as those imported. 1t is {
business proposition and as such can
NOT be successfully handled in an!
other fashion.

THE VIEW.

IN this issue of the Ledger is a
communication from Charles u.
Becker, member of the State Board of
Equalization. 1t will be read with in
terest by those who have been cur
ious to know what influenced the
Board to go to a full valuation policy
this year. Whatever may be the sem
timent of the public towards this
policy, it is going to continue another
year. For this aso the Ledger
suggests that whatever hardships or
Inequalities it may have worked on
many land owners in Audrain county
was in q measure due to u
outwOrn plan of assessing
lands and that relief, if any is
obtained, must come through the
County Board of Equalization next
April. Under this plan the mar with
land worth only $40 an acre was as
sessed on about the same basis as the
neighbor whose place would be cheap
at 500. Thus, when the State Board
ordered a blanket raise it resulted
in many hardships, the man who was
already assessed at all his place was
worth paying on much more than its
value while the party whose place
was listed at only a fraction of its
value was still short Of its real worth.
The man whose place is valued at
more than it's actual worth should go
gsef0re the County Board and get an
adjustment. Unless he does this he
will get no relief at all, for full valu-
alton is certain for one more year and
may be here as a permanent propos-
ition. And since the State Board
4msrf5ers ran for Office on a full
assessment platform, it cannot be
truthfully said that they had deceived
ANYBODY about what to expect. Any
way, nothing a be gained by simply
sitting down and saying harsh
things. Common wisdom dictates
that any county or school levy that
may be higher than necessary be
scaled down and that the County
Board make a diligent effort to list
every piece of real estate on its in
dividual merits. Practically all
Of the increased tax some OF us
are paying is for roads, schools and
other county purposes, while only
slight part Of the increase goes to the
state. This suggests, as Mr.. Becker
points out, that some of u loca
leyies might be decreased withou
seriously impairing the cause TO
which they are made.
