N. CARSON. New Classification Bill, The senate has passed - the house bill which provides mew classifica- tions of property for taxation pur-|; poses. As the bill passed the house, it provided that homesteads in cities and villages, that is, property actual- 1y occupied by the owners as their homes, should be assessed twenty-five per cent of their value, The senate amended the provision to read forty per cent and the bill will now go back to the house for concurrance. The bill as passed by the sen- ate divides all property classes, as follows: into four Class 1, comprising iron ore land, to be taxed at fifty per cent of its value. Class 2, including household goods, wearing apparel, personal property actually used by the owner for per- sonal and domestic purposes, to be assessed at twenty-five per cent of its value. » Class 3, including stocks of gen- eral merchandise, tools and imple- ments and all unplatted real estate property, which includes farm lands, to be assessed at 33 1-3 per cent of its value. " Class 4, comprising all property not included in the other classifica- tions to be assessed at forty per cent of its value. This takes in all platted city and village real estate. While the change in the classifica- tions will probably entail more work for the auditors, commissioners and state tax commission, it cannot be doubted that the bill will make the tax burden on the home owner and At the present time, all property is assessed on a basis of fifty per cent of actual value. A comparison with the new percentages above will show that this percentage is reduced in each case where it will affect the home builder. small income man lighter. Death to Stray Cats. Club women of Spokane have started a movement which should spread to other cities of the céuntry. It is to have all cats. tagged which are valued by their owners and’ to capture and kill the strays. In prac- tically every city of the country dogs are so treated now and the plan is to put the cat on the same basis. The ladies hope to soon rid Spokane of the stray cat nuisance. Bemidji is overrun with stray cats and dogs. To date the city clerk has issued a little -over 100 licenses- for dogs but as there are many dogs more than issued licenses, the dog catcher has a fertile field. With a tag for cats also, untagged cats could be tak- en to the pound also and the city be rid of them on short notice. ~ The yelping of homeless dogs and howling of half wild cats in a city this size is a relic of medieval days. Europe—the Biggest Bunk. Frederick H. Miller, a wealthy car- riage manufacturer of Evanston, Ill., upon returning from his first Europ- ean trip, says that “Europe is < the biggest bunk in the world.” All his life Miller has looked forward to a European trip and last December he set sail to gratify his ambition. He says now that he “feels like a rube who has bought a gold brick.” Some of his other comments are: “The Alps are nothing 'but foot- hills. You could lose them in the Rocky mountains. “Venice smells to heaven. - The health authoritiés in any village in the United States would ‘. clean up those dirty canals ' in Iorty-eight hours. “Monte Carlo isa joke The gam- blers there are pikers The average traveling salesman in the United States plays a steeper game of Rum- my than they do there, | “My only memory of Berlin is stale beer and rotten cigars. I brought back some. of the cigars to hand to some of my alleged friends, “Paris is a city of cheap sideshows. The boasted beauty of Paris women| taclas when ompared wlth some girls 1 know i Evanston. “London is only a city of gloom, fog and influenza.” Egypt was described by Mr. Miller as a “land of awful smells and moth- entemcamels Whlle it may all be true, it is safe to say that the stream of travel to Eurbpe will not be materlally lessen- ed because of his observations.
