To be exact ; the assessment on mines has increased and on public utilities $27,568,389 total of $32,561,086. ora $4,992,697 of taxation will be rate The prevailing applied against this amount and the money will go to counties in which these industries are located. It must be remembered that the present taxable wealth is approximately $700,000,000. This addition nt adds nearly 5 percent for taxing pur5 percent is a very legitimate poses. and substantial return on any invest ment. Now the question is : what will the taxing officials do throughout the state? will they add to the burden of taxation because there is more to tax or will they live within the present pare for a big opportunity, it is right are' assessors of the general prosperity throughout the state it is expected that valuations will not decrease in any county except for very good and substantial reassns. If the assessors maintain the old assessment basis, the new valuation in the state will be count , $733,000,000. By economical ad- ministration of state affairs there is no reason why the state cannot reduce the state tax from 2.4 mills to 2.2 mills. This will be felt favorably by tax payers throughout the state and an additional 5 per cent for taxing purposes should be reflected in lower tax bills to every taxpayer. There is no inducement to increase the valuation of property or to find new sources of revenue if the taxing officials look upon this as an opportunity to spend more money. In such a case it gives relief to nobody and - the present cry throughout the state is Relief from the tax burden' this can be had only when strictest since economy and efficiency are adhered to so that the increased valuation will have real meaning to the dened taxpayers. bur- First Bock on Fishing Credited to a Woman The first book that was published about fishing in England was written ,by the prioress of St Albans about the time the Cabots were busy making j behooved small cities now. and towns to t ENGINEERS AND CITY COUNCIL GO OVER POWER PLANT SIGHT Mr. Woolley, the United States Geological Engineer, representing the Water Power Commission at Washington D.
