HEAR THEM BELOW.

Clicks extra session created foot and
mouth disease commission, and Ia
addition doctor for the entire COW. The
present legislature is in a quandary as
whether ii is best to retain this abnormal
bump to the body polite or to dissect it
away. They don't know exactly how they
should vote in Topeka so as to get the most
votes at home. There is not one of them
that don't know that the law has been more
a damage then advantage. The other day
il was telegraphed from Emporia that some
frightful disease was carrying off the cattle
near there by the dozen. The state doctor
was sent down to investigate. He returned
and made his report. which was to the effect
that the cattle had not had sufficient water,
not enough grain, and too much fodder and
hay. All of this was very satisfactory to
the advocates of commission and q state
COW doctor. But alas, the owner of the cat
tie seeing the official report, comes forward
with affidavits, with his hired hands. and
with his neighbors. and through the col
umns of the E,hporia Republican shows and
proves that his cattle were regularly watered
with the best of water, regularly fed with
sound grain, some of them full fed, and all
were furnished with all the clean, nutritious
hay, cut in June, that they could eat.

COUNTY ASSESSOR.


A bill has been introduced in the legisla-
ture Is create the Office Of County Assessor
in place of the present system of township
observation-disclosures Exchange.
A bill to provide for County Assessor
has been introduced in every legislature
since 1868, prior to which time property
was assessed by County Assessor, elected
by the people every two years. Since then
the work has been done by township trus-
tees. Whether public sentiment in whole
county would justify County Assessor in
doing his sworn duty more honestly or bet
ter than it does officers elected by subdi-
visions of a county for this same
work, is an uncertain question.
We believe greater equality in
assessment might result from one man su-
perintending and passing on the whole work
of assessment, but are not ready TO admit
that al the ills and complaints growing out
of the business of assessment and taxation
would be banished. 1t is difficult TO say
what the voter would do under changed
conditions who under the present system,
does his best at the polls to beat square,
upright man for township trustee with one
