I'VE would suggest TO tie people
of our town. and the IL sding farmers
OF orr county, and also dealers in other
towns in our county, that they keep a
help during the present U. S. assess
ment year, commencing with May 1863
and ending with May 1864, so that
when the Assessor visits their they will
not only dctain him but short time in
giving list of their liabilities 10 assess
ment, especially their income, but be
better enabled to swear by the rule Of
right and truth instead OF conjecture,
which has no fixed limits but the
flrx,bility Of that uncertain in nate prin.
ciple called conscience"
The Assessor has been very credibly
informed that in number Of cases, last
year, he was considerably imposed
spon by random swearing, and We
think he should receive less abuse in
that line at the approaching assessment
People should bear in mi, that the
Assessor is not bound to take or accep,
an oath Of any individual as to his lia.
hility to assessment, bnt may gain his
information from other sources. and If
he finds the individual Is liable to a
greater assessment than furnished him
by the ASS d, not only may, but il is
his imperative duty to increase the as
scssmcn:. while at the same time the
individual assessed is liable to an cx.
pcnslve prosecution and severe penalty
and fine.
The loose anil erroneous manner in
which State assessments, are, and for
years have been made, mt one third.
one half or two thirds of the real value
ct the property assessed and leaving it
to a sort Of swearing-by guess, even
for that, has led our people 10 place but
title respect upon the required afliiavi'
for assessment and they doubtless tlink
tn II the same easy conscience oath will
answer Uncle Sans purposes ta!ly.
But here they are mistaken. II is the
real not imaginary facts in the case
,lat are required, aud each person
liable to assessment under the II. S
Internal Revenue Law will please so
understand it, and prepare themselves
to furnish those facts.
Farmers keep list Of the number Of
cattle, hogs and bushels of grain sold
by you, and also other sources Of in
come. Merchants and other business
men should also keep or make on, some
list which will show the facts and
figures.
We make these suggestions for the
benefit o. all parties concerned.
