Detroit, DEC. 18--( UP)-The Rev

Again and again Russians hurled
waves OF attacks against Finnish

Mannerheim system Of defenses
which the Soviets have discovered
cannot be smashed by frontal as
saults.
BY making occasional plunges into
the center Of the main Mannerheim
line. the Russians apparently sought
to draw Finnish troops to the front
on the Taipale river. Meanwhile,
the Red Army made repeated
thrusts In the narrow sector be-

Finnish flank.

These assaults were supported
by whitening artillery fire in what
military experts said was hope Of
slaughtering the Firms and pushing
them back by the sheer weight Of
tanks, men and metal.
The Firms said that the Russian
assaults had been thrown back with
heavy losses to the Red Army. The
Firms claimed, too. that even IN the
face Of repeated setbacks the Rus
SLAMS were under increasing press

Papers found on the bodies Of
Russian dead were said to have

Early discounts begin with two per
cent in July and decrease one-half
per cent month until October, when
payments are to be at par.
Several sections Of the act have
been entirely rewritten with veiw
to codifying and clarifying existing
statutes relating to tax collection
and foreclosure, SO that these laws
can be found at one place and at
torneys and officials less liable to
confusion in determining what course
TO pursue.
One new feature of the bill is adj
mittedly of very questionable con-
stitutionality 1t provides for fore
closure Of tax certificates "by COM
paratively inexpensive alternative
method of giving two weeks notice
to taxpayer by registered letter, and
then filing certificate showing the
taxes delinquent and have it docket
ed as a judgment. Execution may is
sue within six months from docket
ing, and sale would be made as in
other executions, except that again
registered letter notice in place of &C
tual service on the taxpayer would
be acceptable. The act itself provides
for relief of the taxing authority if
this provision should be declared I'M
constitutional.
The 1889 Act does go farther than
any previous machinery act has at
tempted to go in encouragement of
home Identification, by providing
that appraisers shall not increase the
valuation of property for taxes be-
cause of improvements thereto in the
way of planting shrubbery for nom
commercial purposes, putting out
lawns, painting houses, fences, etc.
In this respect, as well as in the
more liberal discounts and penalties
section, and the much more liberal
deductions for Indebtedness, the new
law is more favorable to the needs
of the average citizen than any in
