Concerning Assessments.

Concerning Assessments.
sEATrLs. Janaary p, 1917
TO fHs EDIrors OF rHE DIsrArcu
As there has been considera.
BILE said in regard to our laet as
sessment in this county, and that
in regard to the incorrectness
and incompleteness of the re-
turns made by the Assessors, /
deem it only justice to them and
the other parties who were en-
ployed, to make some explana-
tion in their defense. In the
first place they We're compelled
to make the assessment without
the use Of an abstract, from the
simple fact that the whole
of the amount allowed by the
statutes as compensation for the
city district was not sufficient to
pay for the use of an abstract,
consequently they had to "go it
blind" so far as non-residents
were concerned, and up to the
time of making the returns they
were not aware of having miss
ed any of the residents. And
from the fact that they were
being hurried by the Commls-
sioners to get the returns in for
them to act on before adjourn
ing-they having waited some
two or three days, and the time
for the returns having already
expired-they were handed in
without having gone over them
a second time to make sure of
their correctness, knowing that
they We're to be copied into an
other book before having passed
to the collector, and any mis-
takes as to the footing up could
be corrected there.
l do not undertake to fully
exonerate any of the parties in
terested in making the assess
ment; but the public will GER
:ainly make some allowance
when informed that the law un-
der which the assessment was
made specifies that the whole
county shall be assessed for $500
in county scrip, which was at
that time worth not to exceed
eighty cents in silver, and the
were not assured of
any higher compensation than
what the statute specified, which
would have amounted to only
about one dollar and sixty cents
a day in silver for their time in
the assessment and TAX
ing the census, and the former
allowance has been five dollars
a day in scrip. Consequently
they allowed themselves to be
hurried up by the Commission
ers, for which [ am of the opin-
ion they committed no more of
an "unpardonable SIN" than did
the Commissioners when they
ignored in a great measure the
valuations made by the Asses
ors and raised them to unreason-
able figures for assessing pur-
poses. The last assessment is
the only one made for years, l
believe, without the use of an
a bstract, and as the bad conse-
quences have come to light, l
hope that arrangements will be
made by which the Assessors
will be enabled to do a good job
in making up our next assess
ment, and without which no man
nor set of men can make a cor
rect return Of real estate accord
ing to our statutes. l am satis-
fed that | have the concurrence
of many citizens and the full
board of assessors and their
friends. W. II. SHoUDY.

We have already called attention to the
great advantage to be derived by this coun
ty, if the people will make effort to dis
play their produce at the coming State fair
We have no more to say than we have al
ready said, and tits now our intention to
simply urge upon our farmers the many
benefits which they can readily, see will be
derived from such display, and they If
they take hold of the matter properly will
not only benefit themselves but the whole

product of your farm, it wont cost much
of any thing ana you will do favor not
only to this county, but to the entire State

One of the most contemplate tricks ever
heard of, was perretrated by q machine
agent, who we are glad to say does notre-
side in this vicinity He went to farm
in this county to set up his machine, and
there was another machine there OF differ
ent manufacture, which the proprietor of
the farm wished to test. This individual
in the absence of the foreman, took the
pains to alter the rival machine, with the
object of causing trouble when the trial
took place, the result was badly injured
binder. The glory of the rascally agent
over the Triumph of his machine was I'M
bounded, and he had things his own way
for few days, but like murder the story
''out," and the smart young man will prob
ably get himself into scrape. Such con-
temptible, scurvy tricks, do not increase
the reputation of either the agent or his
machine. M
