4w Chairman Board of Sup.

The Supreme Court of Wiscon-
sin has recently rendered an impor-
tant decision, which, if generally
applied, would wipe out one.half
the taxes in the state. The pay
ment of tax was contested on the
ground that the assessor, instead of
complying with the laws and fixing
the value of the property at its act
ual cash value, or at such price as
it would sell for in open market,
assessed it with all other property,
at two-thirds its value. The case
was carried to the Supreme Court,
which has decided that such assess
ment was illegal, and the tax levied
upon the property void. Assessors
must obey the law or there can be
no equality in taxation. All assess
ments of property at one-half or
.wo-thirds its cash value are illegal.
AS this Is the prevailing custom
throughout the State, all our taxes
are likely to be void and set aside
by the courts. Assessors should
look to this matter before the next
assessm emit ashland Press.

REPORT OF GRAND SUPT. OF JU-
VENILE TEMPLES.

G. w. C. r., OFFICERS AND MEMBERS
Another year has passed and we are
again assembled to give an account of our
stewardship.
At the meeting Of the G. L., one year
ago when | again took upon myself the
duty of your Superintendent | did it
Brothers and Sisters with a sense Of my
inability to perform that duty as it should
be, and my utmost efforts have seemed to
grow more and more disproportionate as
the necessity Tor them became more appa-
rent.
| am glad | can report that the Temper
ance work among the youth of this juris-
diction has been more energetic among
Good Templars this year than last They
are beginning to realize that "Preyention
is better than cure;" that to save the youth
from falling into the snares of the tempt
er is as Chrlst-like, as high and noble a
work as to rescue those fallen into the
snares of the tempter. II we wish to
build Temperance upon sure and solid
foundation, we must educate the children
In Temperance principles. Many of the
Templars are low passing from the Juve
nile Temples into the subordinate Lodges
and they are we'll drilled and prepared for
the work. The following is the numerical
and financial report for the past year:
Number of Temples, Sept l, 1877. s; or

In surrendering to your hands the trust
confided to me / would most earnestly urge
upon the Grand Lodge as body, and
upon its members individually, the great
importance of this work. The harvest is
great but the laborers are few. Let us
work while the day lasts for the night
cometh wherein no man can work. l

God. 1T may not be in your time, 1t
