LJ The Chicago, North Shore & Mil- waukee railroad secured the first con- tract ever given to an electric road for the transportation of troops. Recently two contracts were given this road to transport troops from Fort Sheridan to their homes. Mem- bers of the militia, returned from the border, were mustered out at Fort Sheridan, and had to be transported to their homes. On receiving notice that the road's bid had been accepted, President Budd immediately took steps to ren- der the very best possible service. He went to Fort Sheridan and took charge of transportation arrangements in per- son, so as to provide for dispatch of trains and the comfort of the troops enroute. The first contract called for carry- ing of the Third Wisconsin infantry from Fort Sheridan to various points in Wisconsin. The troops were taken from Fort Sheridan to Milwaukee by the electric, and delivered to the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul station, over which lines they were taken to their respective homes. The baggage of the militia was transported from Fort Sheridan to Milwaukee by the electrie road. : At Milwaukee, the troops, on their arrival, were met by the mayor, city officials, prominent citizens and a band, and conducted to the C., M. & St. Paul station. Last Friday, the Seventh infantry, Illinois National Guards, were trans- ported by the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee electric from Fort Sheri- bard Woods.

Each succeeding in~ WEEK CAMPAIGN STARTS MONDAY Merchants Enthusiasticaly Endorse Movement At Meeting First of Week TO ADVERTISE FREELY Plan Will Educate Consumer To Value of Cash Purchases New Trier merchants are all work- ing enthusiastically on the plans for the National Pay-Up Week campaign which is being held all over the coun- try during the week of February 19 to 24. At a meeting of the merchants of Gross Point, Monday night, in was de- cided to cooperate in the campaign and to carry out an extensive plan of special advertising for this occasion. They will do this in addition to the general publicity which has been planned. Open Campaign Next Week. The local campaign will be opened next Monday by a series of general publicity, including the use of labels, posters and window cards. This will be followed, next week, with more in- tensive efforts in the way of personal letters. National Pay-Up Week is a progres- sive step toward building up the busi- ness efficiency and preparedness of our nation. It is a step promoted by a progressive citizenship and in the long run will make for better condi- tions for every consumer, because it will stimulate the pay-as-you-go habit, and do much to place the business of the country on a cash basis. ' Cash Gets Best Price. People don't live beyond their means when they are paying their bills promptly or buying for cash, and such an individual can be justly termed progressive, for not alone is he living upon a business basis but he is also living at a minimum expense, since in every business the cash buyer and first grade credit customer secures the best prices and most satisfactory service. . We believe that the man who doesn't make the objects behind the National Pay-Up Week an abiding principle in conducting his personal financial af- fairs will be left in a distinct and isolated class, and the change for the better is going to be gradual, as the country progresses. Little Money Goes Long Way. It is so easy for a little money to build up a great deal of prosperity when it is kept moving in legitimate channels that the beneficial results of National Pay-Up Week are certain to be felt far and wide. Let every- body plan, during this week, to clean off the slate all obligations and enter in to the coming season prepared to do better than we have ever done be- fore. This Pay-Up Week is for everybody, and in keeping with the objects of the campaign, we unhesitatingly urge that you make an effort to secure settle- ment with everybody who owes you, whether it be for merchandise or serv- ice, or whatever value you have ren- dered them. Every carpenter should be busy during this week making set- tlement with the people who owe him. NEW NORTH SHORE REAL ESTATE FIRM A. B. Casey, Wilmette, and W. S. Bell, Winnetka, with Chicago Offices, to Sell N. S. Realty. A. B. Casey, of Wilmette, and W. S. Bell, of Winnetka, who have been as- sociated with the firm of McGuire & Orr as managers of their suburban offices, have formed a partnership for the purpose of specializing in north shore real estate. The new firm has taken offices in the Otis building, Chi- cago, under the firm name of Casey & Bell. With the extensive knowledge of north shore property and conditions, gained through many years as resi- dents and, later, as active operators in this section, the members of the new firm may well feel warranted of their success. MUNICIPALITIES OF NORTH SHORE STUDY TAX LEVY (continued from page 1) the other half at a low value. We found property, not a great deal of it, that was assessed at more than its full value. They found also that it was vitally important to keep a memorandum of all new buildings erected during the year in order that the assessor may be informed. It is a physical impossibility for any assessor to make a proper assess- ment without full facts and assist- ance of this nature. These gentle- men did the work for $1,200.00. The total cost to the village government of Glencoe was $74.94, and to the park board--$23.77 and $100.09 to Glen- coe school board, which represents our proportion of the cost." Assessor Had "Cold Feet." "The assessor, when he found the difference between the value of the property as shown by Mr. Terry's statement and the value as shown by his predecessor, got "cold feet." He was afraid of the terrific amount of advance, and in order to reconcile his conscience and the increase in valuations adopted the method of taking as the entire value, 3% of the full value fixed by Murray and Terry and 1-3 of this 3; to cover the assess- ed valuation, which the different taxing bodies used as a basis in mak- ing their annual tax levy. 'While this is in accordance with the pro- visions of the taxing laws, the method employed by the assessor necessitated a high tax rate, in order that the different taxing bodies could get sufficient funds for their needs. The comparison of these rates with other municipalities is misleading." "The real estate experts had the valuations at anywhere from 80 per cent to 100 per cent of what they really should have been, so that the assessed value was anywhere from 10 per cent to 12% per cent of the actual value of the property. Our rate was 9.82 so that our taxes were at 11% per cent of the real value of the property." Much Objection. "Naturally enough we had a great also more equal in the city than in th country. If you figure it out y will find taxes in the city are mu higher than in the country, although we should really be taxed higher be cause we are newer and we demand and get more than the city." | Townships Satisfied. | "The net result has been that th people of New Trier township an very well satisfied. We heard com plaints from those whose taxes wert raised, but, at the same time, finf that they are absolutely pleased What the people ask and demand i an equal division; they don't wan to feel that they are paying mon than their neighbor but to know tha each and every one is paying his jus share." Much interest is being manifested by the members in the work of th several committees of the WE and a great deal is being lea 3 from time to time which will prow of inestimable worth and aid in a complishing the work that the ass ciation is undertaking. ] Not the Same.

My con- tention was that this basis, which was being fixed for four years, was too high, when as a matter of fact it was low. The Board of Review re- fused to disturb the method of the assessor and the township of New Trier was the only properly assessed township in the county as the val- uation was equally divided. Among the people who also protested was Wilmette; they had reached their bonded limit and thought they were being held up when as a matter of fact they were not." "The objection to high valuations is that we pay more for state, coun- ty and sanitary district taxes than we would if the valuations were low. The argument in favor of the very low value and the very high rate is that you can issue bonds and in that way get money without contributing any more to the state, county and other taxing bodies. However, we should be perfectly willing to con- tribute our just share. Any of you gentlemen who are familiar with the taxes in Chicago know that they are William L.
