Reid J m erit is a p p re c ia te d i i of its lack of frequency. Not that we usually treat our fellowman badly; he is most often given the treatment he deserves ami his own conduct merits. So a season of extra kindness is won- derful. The giving of gifts is a plea sant custom among families and is seldom carried to such extremes as to be financially burdensome. The commercial aspects of it are occasionally overdone, but then we Ameri cans overdo everything. Gifts are in the spirit of Christmas, of long tradition, hut are only one manifestation of Christmas and the spirit of kindness that causes its continuance. The much lierated Christmas card, gaudy and trite as it so often Is, is a more inclusive phase of th.* holiday than is gift giving. It Is a way of saying to a frient^ "We “We are thinking of Ur you".

In other words the lot in Moro owned by the power com pany should be assessed at the same figure as if it were owned by an Individual. Also tho power company should pay tho excise tax Just the same as oth er corporations. If the several assessors, aid ed by local citizens in each County, can appraise the pr«|»cr. ly of the counties at a fall figure then the tax commission, through the ratio system, can equalize between counties.
