RIVER FALLS. Aug. 7, 1867


Ed. JOURNAL Il do not believe it is quite
time to relinquish this discussion about the
assessments of this county. Our pockets are
reached. and we are alarmed and well we
may be, for the injustice is truly great.
Our County Board have finally arrived at
some conclusions. and among them, that the
farming lands of Oak Grove and River Falls
should be assessed alike, and that at $50
per acre. Very well. but what have they
done They raised the valuation of River
Falls so per cent. thus making our average
1915 per acre, and suhjecting us to one-quar-
ter more State and county taxes. in proportion
to our valuation, than Oak Grove, and nearly
one-eighth more than Clifton, which is set
down as first class town. Why is tins p
Why tickle our selfshness by protesting to
put us on par with our neighbors, and then
turn round and very adroitly cut our threats
with a feather
And now for Farmer and Merchant. Far
mer Omits to give US the valuation of his pro-
perry, hence will infer it, and make the
comparison before | close. Our assessor is a
farmer, and ii was certainly fair for Merchant
to measure his yard-stick by Assessors
square. Assessor has fine farm of 80 acres.
well improved and well located, and he says
it is valued fairly with other good farms in
the town. l concede the fact. And what is
that valuation Just $780, and it is actual
ly worth about Il think quite) $4,000. Com
pare this. if you please. with Merch ant 8
stock.
One more illustration. One man here gave
in $1,000 OF personal property. A fine farm
of 40 acres adjoining the village, is assessed
at 81 900. This same seven thousand dollars
would not buy this same farm. The taxes in
our school district will not be less than four
per cent, and Capitalist will pay $3.50 while
Farmer pays less than $50. l think it re-
quires no further argument to show that capi-
tai and merchants stock are paying their
share of the taxes.
Now, let us call Farmer to still further &C
count !: and, since he has failed to give us the
two first letters of his name. we viii suppose
him to be on an average with the rest. His
farm have already examined. and now for
his personal property, and more especially
that portion which he valued himself. and
swore to its valuation. Why, Sir,-well,
viii pay more for his lumber wagon than he
has valued it, and all his harnesses, sleds,
plows harrows, reapers, excess of six month S
provisions and irewood, debts due, etc., etc.
Truth is said to be elastic, and when men
are not sworn, it sometimes gets terribly
stretched. But lying is lying. and when we
make false statements to Assessors about our
property, it makes little or no difference
whether or not we are under oath: The AS
SCISSOR sets the example. and if he values my
house and lot at one-half it is really worth in
cash. he makes the rule, for he is first sworn,
and, for self protection, we are apt to follow
suit.

Once more the slowly tolling bell
Peals sadly on the sense;

The Lord has called her hence.
Extinguished is life's Pickering flame,
The parting word is given.
Silent and cold the mortal frame,
Yet still she lives-in heaven.
Nobly she ran the race of life
In usefulness and love;
Then calmly left this world of strife
To rest-to rest above.
As dies the low, sad, parting peal,
Our hearts with sorrow swell;
Yet we rejoice, o Lordl to feel
That all with her is well.
