The In equality of taxation, as brought out by the report of Secretary Berneclter of the State Board of Assessment Indicates that the sooner the legislature of the state provides some better method for assess ing property the better It will be for the state.

On the Idea that It Is assessed for one-fifth value this would only bring , ths land valuation on an average of $30.30 per acre. The highest valuation of any county Is given to York, where the land la valued on an average of $16 29 per acre. The low est is given to Thomas, which Is as sessed at only 63 cents per acre. Not Equally Divided. There la considerable variation In the assessment of lots and Improvements thereon. In many Instances It would seem that the valuation of this property Is not very fairly divided. The whole valuation Is placed at $73,4S0,521, an aver age of only $129 to the lot. Douglas county lots arc placed at a valuation for taxation of $376.45 per lot;- Lancaster county lota at $193.08.

Complaint was brought against Ed J. Boston, the man who operated the scales, and he was fined $5 and costs. Inasmuch as It cost the state about $2S to prosecute, Commissioner Barman Is not exactly sat isfied with the verdict and believes that ln so flagrant a violation of the law a larger sum should have been assessed.

However, the value appearsto be considerably different In each county, horses Jn Burt county belntf valued the highest for taxation, $19.63, while ln Thomas county they are valued at but $7.44 each. In somo of the counties where the raising of high-bred horses is Indulged In the average does not appear to be very much higher than In counties where there is not much at tention paid to the business. There are 105,381 mules ln the state, which are assessed at $1,899,476, an aver age valuation for taxation purposes of $17.42 per animal. The highest assessment Is in Burt county, where the long-eared animals are averaged at $24.23 each, while the lowest average Is ln Hooker county, where the valuation Is given at 8. There are 2,811,480 cattle In the state, valued for taxation at $14,184,308, or $6.14 per bead. This probably Includes all ages.

Si . ssssssst ypi,L A PURE WHITE MINERAL OIL FOR CONSTIPATION THE final test of a remedy is does it do away with the trouble for which it is taken? By that test, the various laxatives and cathartics stand condemned. They do not remove the condition they are supposed to cure. In fact, the longer they are used, the more they are needed. Laxatives and cathartics are dangerously habit-forming. By the same test, the mineral oil treat ment, used in conjunction with a re turn to rational habits of eating and exercise, reveals itself as the one logical remedy for constipation. Nuiol is odorless and tasteless, abso lutely neutral, and is not digested or absorbed into the system. It acts merely as'a mechanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal con tents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity. Write for "The Rational Treatment of Constipation," an informative treatise on constipation. If you cannot get Nuiol from your druggist, we will send you a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 75c money order or stamps. . STANDARD OIL COMPANY (New Ur.ey) !
