In commenting in his letter this
week upon our criticism in a recent is
sue, of the present assessment law,
Capt. Stewart calls attention to the
fact that our present law calls for as
sessment of property at its actual cash
value, and wants to know whether one
man would be any more likely to obey
this requirement than ten men. We
are free to admit, d g the Captain init
mates, that it is good deal easier to
stand off and pick flaw than it is to
devise a remedy. If we were called
upon, however, to suggest plan that
in our opinion would be an improve
ment upon the present one, it would
be that there should be elected every
two years a board Of three assessors
for each county. Let them be required
to assess all property at its actual cash
value, and let it be the special duty of
the State Board of Equalization to see
that this requirement. is complied with.
Many objections could doubtless be
urged to this plan, but we believe it
would be decidedly preferable to the
present system. Approximately the
same system is now in use in Mary
land, we are informed, and gives uni
versal satisfaction. We believe moth
ing would be lost by giving it trial
at least, in Kansas.

Mean tenlperdt,ge-18.74 deg. which
is $50 deg. below the January aver
age. The highest temperature was
55.5 deg. on the 9Th; the lowest was
l2.5 deg. below zero on tho 18th, giving
a range of 6S deg. The mercury fell
below zero on Is days. Mean temper

SHALL WE HAVE A NEW JAIL AND
COURT HOUsEi

The fact that the County Commits
sioners will soon be asked to consider
the necessity of making some extern
sive repairs in the Jail and court house,
at an expense probably of several hun
dred dollars, has suggested to good
many people that 1t would be cheaper
in the long run to build a new court
house and Jail, both in one, and have
it over with. Old houses, like old
watches, are pretty expensive proper
ty. Allen county has been tinkering
away at her old Jail and court house
for years, at an expense that in the ag-
gregate would nearly have built new
ones. New buildings will have to be
erected very soon any how, at the rate
at which our city is growing. and it is
a question that is at least worth con-
sidering whether it would not be
cheaper to build them now before vast
ing any more money on the old. The
public square was long ago donated to
the county for public purposes, SO that
the site of the new building is already
provided for. The old buildings, with
the ground on which they stand could
probably be soldier 5000 or $1,000 so
that the actual cost of a court house
and Jail, enclosed as they frequently
are under one roof, that would answer
all purposes for generation or more
would be comparative trifle.
There are great many other reas-
ons besides the ones we have suggest
ed why the old buildings should be
abandoned, and there are of course
some good reasons why they should be
continued in use. We did not start
out to argue the question, but merely
to bring the matter before the people
and try if possible to get their opinion.
1t is matter, as we have said, that is
at least worthy of consideration, and
we viii gladly publish any views up
on it either pro or con, that may be
addressed to us.
