To the Commissioners Of =. County:

Guilty in the assessment and collection
of the tax on increased valuation of
personal property for your county, as
reported to me by the Board of Reve-
nue. Commissioners, that l have con-
cluded not to enforce payment on
such increase till after the subject can

You rW for the present collect and
pay orer the regular tax of two and a
half mills, and the special tax of one
half mill, and the tax on occupations,

with the assessment made in your

this Department of theincreased valu-
alton imposed by the Revenue Board,

Taxes on Watches,
W. II. KEMBLE,
State Treasurer.
A Bill apportioning 100000 a.
mongst the Counties (making less
than half the amount of tax fixed by
the Revenue Board) was drawn up
and its passage urged by the Treasurer.
Tie Bill passed the Senate but from
some cause (more of carelessness than
any other failed to pass the House.
The departments were then compelled
to settle on the Revenue Boards valu-
alton.
And so the valuation of our county
as fixed by the Board of Revenue
Commissioners at their last meeting,
during the latter part of Mr.. Slenker's
administration, for the years 1865,
1867 and 1868 was made out. There
was no fraud nor cheat about the
matter, but the tax was settled and fix

following facts {:
At the request Of several members oil
your honorable body, to present to you
such figures aud facts in regard 70 the
State taxes in some of the other Western
States, have to say that but few of the
reports from the Auditors or Comptroll-
ers, as the case may be. have as yet been
received at this office. Upon al examina
ton of those have, / End
/. That the levy for 1866, in the
State of Missouri, was 80 cents on the

2. Ia Indiana, for the same year, the
levy was sc cents on the 800, and "a

;. IL Michigan, while 1 have not the

refer to, have ascertained from such
sources of information as are at hand
that the levy was about 80 cents on the

Having no reports from Ohio, Wis
consiu or Minnesota, cannot speak il
reference to tuem except to say that il
1865, they we're much above Kansas in
their total taxation, ranging from ihree to
eight per cent. the latter of which Wa
in Wisconsin.
But aside from this, compare your OWL

The subject of bridges over the Neosho and

talked of by our business men. The fact that We
have been almost entirely cut Od from the " orld
forth, south and east, for the past two week 8,
together with the other fact that the mails
have been very irregular within that time, has
given quite an impe tus TO the excitement
about bridges. II it will only end in waxing
our people up to such pitch to make them
determined to have bridges, all will feel re-
jOieed at the floods There has been cool
deal Of wind in circulation for > few day 3
past, and it will all be ill" indeed if no good
comes of it. There ia nothing so badly need
ed now as two good bridges-1ne across the
Neosho and the other across the Cottonwood
a, t his place Whether the feeling in regard
to the matter will take any dsanits or pFaeti-
cal shape or not, we are not able 10 say. Ia
no earthly way can we expend money so econ
omieally as N public Improvements Of this
sort. Such bread east upon the waters Of the
Neosbo and Cottonwood. will return to US be
