ONLY 90 PROTEST
TAX ASSESSMENTS
System of Appreciation of Val
ues Credited With Cutting
Number Down.
BOARD SITS 3 MORE DAYS
Early-Day Complainant Who Came
to "Lick" Assessor and His En
tire Force, Is Replaced by
More Amiable Protestants.
Only 90 protests against assessments
made on property were filed with the
County Board of Equalization, which
has been In session four days. Records
of the office show that the number Is
the fewest made In the past 12 years.
There are now but three more days
ef the session and It is r.redicted that
the total number of protests this year
will be less than 200. Last year the
number of protests was 438, and five
years ago 900. Assessments are made
in the county on approximately 200,000
pieces of property.
The small number of protests this
year is thought by county officials to
be due largely to the system of appre
ciation of values which has been adopt
ed by County Assessor Reed. Under the
present plan the rapidity of deprecia
tion of different styles of buildings is
figured and each year this depreciation
is taken Into consideration in making
the assessment.
- No Protest Is Scathing.
Not one communication of a scath
ing or sarcastic character has been re
ceived from a property owner who feels
aggrieved this year, and the lack of
such communication is commented on
by the deputies In the office. In past
years, according to the stories told,
many a husky farmer and property
owner came to the office ready to
"link" the Assessor and his entire force.
Deputies in the Assossor's office also
declare they miss many familiar faces
of taxpayers who used to make an an
nual event of their calling upon the
Assessor and kicking about the taxes.
About 50 per cent of the protests re
ceived so far involve assessments made
on automobiles. As a usual thing the
protests are made because the owner
ssys he has sold his machine or has
moved to another county or state.
C. S. Hobble, 834 Thirty-ninth street,
sent in a protest yesterday against the
valuation of $90 which had been placed
on his car. He declared that the ma
chine was out of order and that it was
too much expense to fix It up and that
it was practically valueless to him. ,
William Gadaby Protests. -
William Gadsby registered a protest
yesterday against his property at First
and Washington streets being assessed
at $63,000. He declared he would sell
the property for $1000 less than that
figure. The land was assessed at $56,
000 and the building, which is a store,
at $7000.
Mr. Gadsby admitted that his protest
was not based on any inequality of the
assessment compared with other prop
erty in the vicinity.
Joe Shemanski, owner of property at
409-15 Morrson street, asked a reduc
ton of $2200 on the valuation placed on
his buildng there. He offered no ob
jection to the assessment of $82,000 for
the land. The building was assessed at
$10,200. He declares that the buildings
cost about $17,000 at the time they
were erected in 1904, but that the valu
ation has depreciated.
Mrs. Sadie Shemanski also registered
a protest against the assessed valua
tion of $6000 made on property at 741
Irving street. She said that similar
property adjoining had been purchased
recently for $5000.
The session of the Equalization Board
will close Monday.

Healing Is Effected by Knowledge
That Sickness Is Tnnatnral and
Need Not Be Endured, Says
George Shaw Cook, C. S. B.
'The teaching of Christian Science
concerning the cause and cure of
disease has to a great extent revised
the world's thought on this subject."
said George Shaw Cook. C. S. B.. mem
ber of the board of lectureship of the
Mother Church, the First Church of
Christ, Scientist. lr Boston. Masa who
addressed a large audience in the First
Church of this city. Nineteenth and
Everett streets.
In introducing the lecturer, Joseph
W. Reynolds, first reader of First
Church of Christ, Scientist, said:
History informs us of a man. who
destroyed every phase of disease and
evil, who broke every band of limita
tion with spiritual power. This power
used by Jesus has been rediscovered
and made available in our time by a
woman, and in presenting her dlscov
ery to mankind, Mrs. Eddy named it
Christian Science.
Laws Still Available.
"To many It has seemed strange that
spiritual laws could be understood' and
practically applied for the healing of
Disease as well as sin. Yet these laws
are available and true Christian Science
is proving it m the same manner as
did the master."
Mr. Cook spoke particularly of the
healing of the sick and redemption
from sin and the adaptation of Chris
tian Science to the needs of the peo
ple.
Mr. Cook said in part:
"Many observina: Dhvsiclans are will
ing to admit much in the direction of
the mental cause of disease: more, in
deed, than laymen who have less op
portunity for observation. Christian
science goes beyond -the most progres
sive physicians and declares that all
disease is of mental origin. In so doing
it uoes not contend mat every lorm
of disease is due to conscious fear or
willful wrong-doing on the part of those
who seem to be the victims of disease.
It merely claims that somewhere back
of all so-called abnormal or diseased
physical conditions there are erroneous
conditions of thought.
Science Adapted to Needs.
"Without adaptation to the needs of
mankind the Christian Science Church
as an institution would have no good
reason for existence. In order to Justify
its presence among men, the Church of
Christ. Scientist, must be ready to
answer, not theoretically but practical
ly, the question. 'What is Christian
Science able to do for suffering human
ityr
.Better to appreciate the answer
which Christian Science makes to the
foregoing question, it is well first to
gain some understanding of what the
teaching of Christian Science stands for
and to know that first and last it
stands for the fundamental fact that
God is good, that he is spirit, mind,
divine principle, life, truth, love.
It also stands for a perfect spiritual
universe as the creation of God. and
for a perfect spiritual man as the like
ness of God. It stands for the una
versal fatherhood and motherhood of
God, and for the complete and perfect
Drotnernood of man.
Law of God Observed.
"Christian Science stands for the law
of God and the government of God
and for the absolute supremacy of
God's law and government. It stands
for the preservation and protection and
direction of man and the universe in
accordance with the law of God. It
stands for freedom from fear, for sal
vation from sin and consequently for
mankind's deliverance from disease and
death. It stands for mental integrity
and moral purity; for fidelity and
faithfulness; for right relationship,
unity of purpose, brotherly love, true
charity and real compassion. It stands
for the conscious harmony which is
heaven within and for all that makes
for the establishment of the kingdom
of heaven, or harmony, among men.
Tlaving told something of that for
which Christian Science stands and
having indicated to some extent that
which it claims to do for those who
are in trouble, may it not be pertinent
to say something about what Christian
Science is doing to fulfill Its promises
and something of the way in which it
is being done?
Through the ministry of Christian
Science many thousands have been
healed of disease and redeemed from
sin and some have been turned back
from the very gates of death. Among
these thousands tnere are those who
have been raised from beds of un
speakable pain, those who have been
rescued from depths of degradation.
those who have been freed from the
bondage of poverty and incompetency.
Majority Aided by Science.
"It is possible that some of these
people would have recovered from their
sickness under other forms of treat
ment or without any treatment. It is
probable that some of them would have
been reformed by other means and that
some would have become prosperous In
another way. but it is a fact that the
great majority were utterly hopeless
and apparently helpless in their misery
until Christian Science showed them
way out of it.
"How were these people healed of
diseases which in many instances h
baffled the most skillful physicians?
Thev were healed, bv Christ, truth.
which takes away the sins and heals
the sickness of the world.
"Christian Scientists believe that they
have demonstrated by results already
attained that Mrs.-Eddy has surely dis
covered and correctly 6et forth the
principle and law by which Jesus
healed all manner of disease among the
people of his time. Jesus said of his
work. 'I can of mine own self do
nothing. The Father that dwelleth in
me, he doeth the work.
Father Is Divine Mind.
"The Father referred to, by Jesus as
being the principle of his works was.
according to Christian Science, the
divine mind.
"Mrs. Eddy has said of her discovery
and of its reception, T have never sup
posed the world would immediately
witness the full fruitage of Christian
Science, or that sin, disease and death
would not be believed for an indefinite
time, but this I do aver, that, as a
result of teaching Christian Science,
ethics and temperance have received an
impulse health has been restored and
longevity increased. If such are the
present fruits, what will the harvest be,
when this science is more generally
understood?"
The lecture will be repeated tonight.
