A "RING' SMASHING MOVEMENT
The Washington Republican states that
"Comnlissoner Delano has adopted a
very important rule that must work to
the good of the public. He directs that

tasbal revenue shah BE- transported from
one districtsto another and, as the first
nlDve In the plan, has ordered that Su-
pervisor Totten, Of the Western district
otRea nsylvania, shall be transferred to
the Eastern district OF that State, and
Southworth, present. Superyi or. Of the
! latter diktrict, sialiabe placed in some
district yet to be designated, Thus, for
'exsimple, b New York Supervisor may
find binseifsuddenIy ordered of. to the
PACIFIC coast, and rice rersa. The OBJ
jeut of this transposition of Supervisors
Is to break UP any combination where
the revenue officers may, have formed
rings among themselves, or with distill.
ers, with the connivance or knowledge
of Supervisors, who, it is alleged, in
some instances share in the division o.
spoils gathered from evasions of the rev
enue laws or plain frauds upon the gov
erinnent. From facts that have come
to the knowledge of the commissioner
1t Is evident that this new rule will re

CEDAR County VALCATIoN.-Ar recent
Dssenpolt Gazette stated that the valu-
satton ~ ieai.y -..-.---. ",
by the State Census Board greater than
that ofGaHy other county in the State,
Scott county being second. This is un
doubtedlya mistake, as 4 corrected ia
ble of the equalized valuation Of the
counties in Iowa, published by the
.lSs4te Rtyhve-, makes Cedar the fourth
eeuntys'in respect to value per acre.
Scott Is first, with the value Of her acres
fixed at $l3, "a; then Des Moines, $l2,7l;
'Afuscasine, $i2,l3; and Cedar at Sl2,O2,
which is rs high in comparison with
other counties IN the State as any one
will probably desire TO have made the
sbasis of taxation, no matter how we'll
lie may, appreciate the Intrinsic value Of
Old Cednr's fertile acres. 5..
