r. ^ffiursday. November 17, 1960 THE PIAINZ>EALER UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: Our junior high school recently passed a code which, among other things, says there can be no organization sponsored dances for seventh and eighth graders. Most of us don't think this is very fair and would like your opinion. -Dancer. DEAR DANCER: The code is probably worthy enough but perhaps it's gone to extremes. Seventh and eighth graders should be allowed to dance in their own age groups but I think once - a - month school or church - sponsored dances are sufficient. Children in the two age brackets shouldn't expect to >*e weekly dances like their older brothers and sisters may have. DEAR DAN: We've got a group of girls here who are forever pestering us to take them bowling and dancing or just riding around. Then we go for a snack, they order a .meal and you'd think they (hadn't eaten for a week. They're nothing but clothes racks, changing into something new everyday. Whose place is it to teach them the score, their parents or us? -- Disgusted Don. DEAR DON: You sound like a boy who's about ready to swear off girls for life or else you Just had a bad day. 1'Qi know, no one's forcing you boys to date these girls and if you don't want to, don't. Most girls realize the financial limitations of a teenage boy's wallet. From what yon wrote, these girls think you're independently wealthy and unless you tell' them your exact financial status, they may continue with the wrong impression. You don't have a legitimate complaint about their clothes. Who looks neater -- the girl who wears something bright and fresh each day or the girl who likes to run around in the pair of or jeans? ^ DEAR DAN: I'm the mother of two t?en - agers, a girl of nearly 17 and a boy of 15, and have a problem concerning them. My children are probably no different than any others with the possible exception they think the world owes them a good time seven nights a week. My husband doesn't think much of it and says I worry too much but I believe he's wrong. Both my teen-agers are active in school organizations and if they're not attending one meeting or another, they're on a date. The four of us used to be very close and spend most of our evenings together but lately all I feel like is a cook and nggid. I don't want to be too strict with my two because I know their friends are allowed to do exactly as they're doing and sometimes even more. Will they ever get over this selfish streak they have and is there anything I can do to help them? Thank you.- Mrs. R. G. DEAR MRS. R. G.: As you said, your teen - agers aren't much different than any others" so in that respect, you don't have too serious a problem. a Before you go blaming teen-agers too much for being self!i sh and independent, keep in mind that for the most part they're only following the actions of their elders. I remember the days when families stayed home most of the time and When they did go out, they enjoyed simple pleasures such as going to the movies or visiting friends. Nowadays when a man and woman visit friends, they know they just won't be sitting around talking and listening but they'll usually wind up with a deck of cards in their hands. Also, adults feel they have to join just about every organization under the sun. So- yoo seev teen«agers being Involved te-one organlM-f tron or another aren't by themselves. However, in your particular case, I think perhaps your two children should be told you are still their mother and the authority in your home.

Philip Thennes and Family *11-17-60 TAX FACTS Assessments of certain properties are made directly by the Illinois Department of Revenue and certified to the county clerks for extension of taxes in the proper taxing districts. These are the assessments of (•1) railroad property other than non-carrier real estate; (2) the capital stock of domestic corporations other than those organized for purely manufacturing oy mercantile purposes, or both, or for the ttiining and sale of coal, or for printing, or tor publishing newspapers, or for the improving and breeding of livestock; and (3) the operating personal property of private carline companies. The provisions of the corporate charter ordinarily determine whether its capital stock is assessed by the department or by local assessors. "Non-carrier real estate" consists of all land, and improvements on such* land, not Situated on the right-of-way of the railroad, and not used as operating property. The term "capital stock" represents the intangible assets of a corporation, such as money, notes, and accounts. A "private carline company" is a company operating freight cars, poultry cars, sleeping cars, etc., on railroad lines in or through Illinois where such railroad lines are not owned or leased by the carline company. Upon the completion of the original assessments to be made by the department, it shall publish a full and complete list of such assessments in the state "official newspaper." Any person or corporation feeling aggrieved by any such assessment may, within ten days of the date of publication, apply to the department for a review and correction of the assessment complained of. As the authority to assess capital stock of Illinois corporations is divided between local assessors and the department, tihe department regularly examines all corporation charters issued by the secretary of state.

However, if a corporation protests that it is not subject to assessment by the local Assessor, or that it is being assessed in the wrong county, the assessor or board of review has the duty of notifying the department at once, requesting that this matter be determined. Such a request should state all material and .relevant facts. The assessments certified to the county clerk by the board* of review or appeals, after equalization by the department, together with assessments of railroad property and capital stock certified by the department, are the basis on which the county clerk computes tax rates and extends taxes. Three basic steps involved in the general approach to making a tax levy are: (1) developing the budget; (2) making the appropriation; and (3) levying the tax. A budget, needed by every district in order that it may function in a businesslike manner, is the annual estimate showing the amounts of money required to run the district for the ensuing year. If particular Amounts are required for defimte needs, these should be set forth exactly. Other amounts should be the result of reasonable estimates. The budgetmaker should not lose sight of economy. Next, the average district makes an appropriation. This is the district's official budget set forth in the form of an ordinance. Some districts can combine these first two steps by passing a combination budget and appropriation ordinance. Although a time is usually provided for the public to attend a meeting and comment on the budget or appropriation before it is finally adopted, the public too often neglects this opportunity. The final step is the levy itself. This is the statement fixing the tax . upon all the taxpayers of the district. In many types of districts, the statute requires that the levy set forth the amounts appropriated as well as amounts levied. This is so that the taxpayer may know not only what the purposes of the appropriations are, but alsq which of the purposes are to be paid from the money to be raised by levy. Often some of the items appropriated are paid for out of monies from sources other than the tax levy itself, such as from municipal "sales tax" revenues in municipalities imposing the tax. Time limits involved in appropriation and levy ordinances are very important. A statute may require action to be taken on a certain specified day -- such as the first Tuesday In September -- or the statute may require action at an annual meeting. These times vary with the different types of districts. However, it is essential that action be taken at theproper time. Once the levy is made, it must be certified to the county clerk who has the job of extending the tax. In order to mi sure accuracy of the facts shown in the levy, the law re* quires some official from eactt district to certify its levy td the county clerk. In effect, the certification quotes the disi trict's certifier as to the ac* curacy of the facts set forth in the copy of the levy.
