practically the same as that which
has been in force in Arkansas for a
number of jtars are embodied in a
bill passed' by the house V repra-
seutativeS Friday afternoon.
Under tho terms of the measure
as amended and passed finally the
salary of the county assessor is niatle
the same as that which is paid the
ounty clerk. The present law pro-
ides that the inssessor's compensa
tion shall be based on the cmount ot
the assessed valuation of the prop-
erty ir thai 'county- of which he is
assessor.
Another feature provides that ihe
property owner shall come to the
assessor to have his property listed
for assessment and taxation instead
f the assessor going to the taxpayer
as is now done.
The greatest change proposed in
the law so far as the public is con
cerned is.that which changes Me
manner of assessing: property.
The material part of tha measure
dealing with that subject provides as
follows:
The-count v assessor shall on the
fifteenth day of January of each year

Edward .N. Breitung Of New YorM

of releasing ships owned by German
lines wthich ran to the United States

cause trouble between the United
States and Great Britain. The Ham

maa Lloyd and others had many bi.m
and costly vessels including the
great Imliierator in American ports
when the war broke 0'it. Great

That -means when she sails from
