THE COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
The Miners Review comes out this week
with rather an extensive showing up OF
the late transactions Of the august body OF
| the board of equalization. Ii seems that
some very peculiar and inconsistent changes
were made by this body at its late session

of the board. The Judge was the successful
candidate at the last election ON the moss
back ticket, that element of democracy
that claims to be able to elect "yallel

strated such ability i'm few instances
Some of the facts and figures furnished by
the Review are something as follows. The

$500. Notes, etc. $3.50. Farm
machinery. $40. Three hogs $3.50.
One lock, 81. One sewing machine, So
Household and kitchen furniture, $40
Total. 81 1875 80. Outside of county, $50
Grand total, 81 1850. This list was pre-
sented to the board with a prayerful pc

have been composed of very hard hearted
men indeed, for they would reduce this list
