The time is ripe for the organization of "Honest Assessment Leagues." Any one who will take the trouble to ex amine the list of tax payers in any school district will find property, es pecially notes and money, listed entire ly too low. A committee of nine three from each school board, city council aud Commercial club at Aurora, Mo., has been appointed to assist the assessor in locating unossessed notes, bonds and money. No one need be surprised if this committee finds ten times as much of such property as has been listed. Let local leagues be formed and then a state league composed of delegates represent ing local leagues. In the interest of better school, it seems absolutely necessary to increase the amount of assessed valuation of many school districts. The State Super intendent was recently called into con sultation to devise means of securing a better and suitable school building for a small town. After thorough investiga tion, it was found that the constitutional limitation prevented their voting bonds, because the corporation was already bonded to the limit. If all the property of that district were assessed, aud at half its actual value, the district would have twice as large an assessed valuation, and could, under the constitution, vote 810, 000 in bonds necessary io erect a suitable school building. It could also at the U9ual rate of levy for school purposes, maintain a longer term, employ better teachers and pay better salaries. Ill considering the rate of assessment on real and personal property, it should not be forgotten that real estate is tang ible and it is all listed, while much per sonal property escapes assessment alto gether. For this reason nm-ssors indue to list notes and money at real value, land at about one-third of its actual value aud property more fluctuating in value at still smaller rate. Why not through "Honest Assess, ment Leagues" make sentiment in favor of listing all property at its actual earn ing capacity value aud then assess it all at a level discount of forty or fifty per cent ? The people have long enough let great irregularities exist and the proper ty of many wealthy men escape taxation. Why not correct it now? W. T. Carrinoton, State Supt. of Public Schools. A DAREDEVIL RIDE often ends in a sad accident. To heal accidental injuries use Bucklen's Arnica Salve. "A deep wound in my foot from an accident," writes Theodore Schuele, of Columbus, O., "caused me great pain. Physicians were helpless, but Bucklen's Arnica Salve quickly healed it." Soothes and heals burns like magic. 2!c at the Muntzel Drug Co. EXCHANGE NOTES. A good line of overcoats for men at the Famous. WALNUT GROVE ITEMS.
