This board, he said, has power to raise or lower any class of property, such as lands, cattle, farm machinery,' by simply giving proper notice and a hearing to counties. The state board exercised this power in 1929 by ordering an increase in the assessed valuation of cattle and tele phone company franchises, but fail ed in the courts only because it had not given proper notice and a hear ing. , The attorcy general is opposing the state board's reduction in the assessed valuations of pipe lines or dered by the beard in 1931, and his suit against the board is pending in court. "A . reduction in assessed valua tion of lands or any other class of nroDertv would not mean much to the state or taxpayers," said Soren sen, oecause tne state levy is smaii There is no limit, however, to the state levy. There is a limit upon the county, city and school levies, and the levies are usually at the maxi mum, so a reduction in assessed valu ation of lands would automatically mean considerable reduction in all local taxes."

H. Duxbury. In the years gone by since the creation of Cass county in 185C there was a very complicated and loosely connected system of in dexing and recording. Not until the more recent years has new systems made it a matter of ease to locate at ence all matters connected with any one estate that may be desired to look up. Judge Duxbury has had the clerk of the court. Warren Farmer and Mrs. Alvin Meisinger busy in check ing over the old records from the very first estate and now they are being indexed so that no matter how far back they extend it will be pos sible to locate with ease all of the papers and records pertaining to these estates. The overhauling of the records has been a big task but has added wonderfully to the efficiency of the office and the convenience of those who might desire to look up any of the old time estates. A special service was neiel on February 21 by the Christian Science Society of this city as a part of the nationwide celebration of the Ceorgo Washington bicentennial. The service included an address cn (Jecrgc Washington by the First Reader, in part, as follows: "Among Washington's most firmly termed tiaits were his faith in Goo, ins respect lor religion, even for other people's religions. When ncc extremely ill he calmly said 'T know that I am in the hand;; of a ;',r;id Providence.' And lie recovered To divine Providence, also, he at tributed his immunity from injur;, in ijattie; and at uiucrent times, par ticularly hi the Fiench and Indian war, in?; escape irom Harm S'cnico miraculous. Evidently. also, lie had a sense of principle. lor instance. when the Constitution!! Convention met in litii, and tho prosr.ect for agreement on a plan of national gov ernment seemed remote, Washington said to his fellow-delegates from Virginia. "Let us raise : standard to v inch tiie w'.-c and honest can repair. 1 fie event is m the hands ol Ccd.' " A lesson -sermon prepare:! espec ially l';r this occasion was read !; the First and Second It- ad -is. Ore cf the Scriptural passages contain ed in ims lesscn-serinon was lrom Psalms 22:7-2S: "All the ends cf the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: arid all the kindreds 1" the nations shall worship before Thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's and He is the governor among the nations." A correlative pas.-ate from the Christian Sceince textbook, "Science and lieaitli v.itn Key to tne .-crip- tures by Mary Baker Eddy, was ar follows : 'One infinite God. good, uni fies men and nations; cor.stitutes th" brotherhood of man: ends wars; ful fills the Scripture. 'Love thy neigh bor as -thyself:! annihilates pagan and Christian idolatry. whatever i. wrong in social, e'ivil, criminal, poli tical, and religious codes; equalizes the sexes; annuls the curse on man; an'! leaves nothing that can sin, sui ter, be punished or du'iroyed." The reading of the "scientific state ment of being" from the Christian Scienc-o textbook, its correlative Scripture, and the benedict ion from I John 4:21. concluded the service.
