merchants in the state, to all of whom
the tax commission is sending the
blank stock statements.

mision whether he makes his state
ment on the basis of cost or mark**
value. The assessments for taxation
are made on the basis of forty-two pe-
cent of the true value of property.

afforded an evening of rare entertainment. Am showered with com
