Home Toll Heavy
Almost as many people in North
America are accidentally killed in
the supposed safety Of their own
homes as in the streets, in automo-
biles, in the air above, in the water
down under the earth, and in all
the factories.
To be exact, there are about 49,
900 accidental deaths in homes per
annum.
Autumn being the beginning of
shut-in time, remember these things:
Be sure the garage door is open
before you start the auto engine.
Don't go into the cellar without
light or support. Falls exacted a
toll Of 1900 lives in 1880.
Guard against fires. Burns, scalds
and explosions kill about 5000
North Americans annually. There
have been classified 10 kinds of fires !;
of them II occur in homes. Children
playing with matches, gasoline used
for cleaning, clothing ignited from
stoves, gasoline or kerosene used to
start fires, asphyxiation by smoke
are some of them.

with a complete inventory. If he
neglectS or refuses to do so it be-
comes the duty of the assessor to
make the list in accordance with
his best judgment and informa-
ton.
'There is a prevalent opinion
that when person lists his pro-
perty and SWears to its correct
ness, the assessor must accept the
list because it is sworn to. Such
is not the law. No taxpayer has
the right to make his own assess
ment. No taxpayer has the right
to determine the value of his
property for taxation purposes.
The assessor is elected to do these
things. The list is only the own
er's inventory and may be chang
ed at any time by the assessor if
he knows it to be incorrect. The
valuation made by the owner is
simply his estimate and may be
more or less than the assessors
own judgment of the value of the
property.

meaning gold and silver coin,

post, cashiers checks, or similar

Selling or Sowing
Jenny Unlawful in
New Weed Statute
SEED LABORATORY is
CONTINUED; LABELS
MUST TELL ALL

An extra tooth was put in the
state weed law by the 1889 legiS-
lature when that body made it
unlawful to sell or have in pos
session with intent to sow, farm
seeds containing any creeping
jenny. Selling screenings is also
unlawful unless they have been
ground or treated otherwise so as
to kill all weed seeds.
No seed may be sold containing
over rs seeds per pound of quack
grass, Canada thistle, perennial
sow thistle, dodder, leafy spurge,
OK eye daisy and buck horn PLAN
tain. The amount of such seeds
contained in the sample must be
stated in the sample sold. The
former law permitted samples
containing 80 seeds per pound to
be sold.
All seeds sold must be labelled.
Provision is also made for con-
tinuation of the state seed labor
atory. Charges will be made for
testing but five samples may be
tested within the year for any
one person without charge.
Marijuana, or Indian hemp, also
comes in for attention, it being
unlawful to have this weed on the
premises. Growing the plant for
certain commercial purposes un-
der license is permitted.
