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

The ones in the fancier boxes,
however, carry no stronger affir

simpler ones. They all say, “We
like you and wish you well”.

should «Iso In? an
equally heavy tax on all liable

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

If the several assessors, aid

figure then the tax commission,
through the ratio system, can
equalize between counties. It
