TAX INEQUALITIES
 CLAIMED BY ALLIE
Reason for Rate Increase Laid
 to This Cause

Inequalities in tax assessments here ar" claimed by J. R. Alice 10 be responsible for the tax rate in crease this year. His statement sup ported by instances in which in cquaIitics are claimed 10 exist. was addressed 10 the common council last night, but was not read. Alice s communication follows:
 'Gentlemen:-
 Recently several members of the Common Council refused or failed 10 approve the increase made in the tax rate
 If they were justified in their po- sitIon, the matter concerns you, and is Of interest to the public, in con- n"ction with the changes soon 10 be made in the membership of the board of finance and taxation. This board apparently determines the financial policy Of the city.
 Why were not the assessments carefully overhauled before the tax rate was increased?
 Take for example two tracts Of S.s and 5.5 acres adjoining Ten Acre Road. assessed at S70O and S650 re spectivelv,that is s1.S50 for about thirty lots. Permits were issued in September and October last for three houses there at 5000, $50, 900 and 900 house on a s45 lot or on one costing ten times as much? Fair value Of the property say $25,0 or s30, 900.
 "On Washington street, adjoining West Main street. a plot sold last year under order of the superior court for sS7,50o, and is assessed at S36,100. The land is assessed at Sl6,500, although the price paid was really for the land; the building has been demolished.
 Southwest corner Main and La fayette streets sold at auction At S1o1,6O0. The old frame building was demolished The land is now assessed at S50,15O.
 Northeast corner Main and Com mercial streets, reported sold at sl10.000, assessed at s36, 900.
 w. T. Grant building leased for ten years at s23,000 net, with fu- ture increases up to s3o.000. Fair ,alue on per cent basis s2S7,50p. Assessed at slS7.Q00.
 "A new two family house al 106 Harrison street. with copper leaders, oak floors except kitchen, G rooms on floor, is assessed at sS,000. which is s20o less than the assess five rooms on a floor and about ten years old. Fair assessment say sl0,oO0.
 "Thc man who questions or fails to pay the pesky s2 personal tax is threatened with arrest. pursued re- lcntlessly. Why do items of $50 or even of thousands of dollars seem to escape the attention of our offi- cials?
 If the property in the business sections and the speculative acreage tracts were properly assessed, and corrections made elsewhere. little if any change in the tax rate, perhaps, would have been necessary.
 The work of the assessors is difii- cult. whatever their orders. and ill the main probably well done.
 "But the policy of the board Of finance in the premises, like that of their fellow autocrats of the school board in their field. is certainly open to question.
 Yours truly,

HOPEFUL FUTURE FOR MISSIONS
IN CHINA SEEN DESPITE STRIFE
Christian Element Will Be Purged of Those of
Questionable Motives, While Sincere Ones
Will Advance, Says Leader in Work.

probably only 500 have been advised
to leave their stations as a measure Of
precaution. The interruption Of their
work is. therefore, not nearly as seri-
Gus as newspaper headlines have sug-
gested.
The future Of missionary work is
full OF hope. Mems minds are being
stirred and a spirit Of inquiry lie awak-
ened. Even in the places from which
the foreign missionary may find 1t
advisable to withdraw temporarily, the
Chinese churches will go forward with
their work. The difficulties expert
enced will strengthen the church for
its real task, winnowing out those
who may have come into it with
questionable motives, and building up
the faith and courage of those who
are sincere believers.

The present movement goes much

During recent years the outside

chants, were the first to be awakened.
Since the controversy about Shantung,

During the last two or three years
the laboring classes have been organ

are being unionized. A movement Of
the whole people is beginning to take
shape. The revolution Of 1911 may
now be contaminated. The outlook
for a united China with some form Of
really democratic government is bright

Naturally there is much uncertainty
and unrest. When such great move
