The Herald is decidedly of the opin-
ion that the Board of Equalization, al
Columbus, has not been doing ex-ctly the
fair thing as regards the valuation of land
in Richland county, and consoles ilse.f
with the idea that people may get tired o.
their rulers, and change them.
WORSE AND More OF ir.-The Board
of Equalization at Columbus have in
creased the rates sf valuarion on Iandin
Rlchland County, forty per cent over the
ass ssment. We deem this great njus-
tice. Lands we're appraised exorbiiantly
high before. Our valuation was quite as
high (if we are no. mistaken as nEy
other county in the S ate, with similar
advantages. We have heard more groan-
ing than little ever our high taxes this
fall, and d,n't see as this move Of The
State Board will help it any. We l.,
"the back is always fit ed to the burden"
lie. 'em groan till they get tired of their
present rulers. and mayhap we will see
matters modified somewhat.
