sowed on his ranch near Billings, from
which he obtained forty-four bushels of
as fine wheat as ever was raised.-GaZette.

him, to please examine his tax bills
for the past five years on the same
tract Of land because personal prop
erty ia variable), and he will see that
he is mistaken; pursuing this plan,
| find that the tax for 1884, the first
year under township organization,
was less than that of 1881, which was
the largest tax in the past five years,
and, If | Am not mistaken, our friend
vas q member of the board of CON-
missioners at thst time. Again, the
tax of 81 only exceeded that Of SO by
about the amount levied for township
purposes, and if there be . fault in
this it rested with the people, for no
doubt they have spent this amount At
home. 1 have not the data before me,
but I sm informed that the retiring
board of commissioners expended
all the available funds in the treasury,
and the board of supervisors were
obliged to levy q tax, not only for
their own expens es, but for the IN
settled balances of the old board.
The opening Of roads on section lines
hss necessarily involved more e1-
pense for bridging and ~culverts than
where these travel the dividing ridges,
out this has nothing to do with town
ship organization, As the result would
be the same in any case, yet it has to
bear the odium.
Our friend says that many of the
people did not understand the nature
Of the proposition when submitted
and therefore suffered it to go by de-
fault, and for the same reason, they
now want q chance &c vote it down.
Such 8 course seems TO me too much
like a child At school, when his lesson
becomes 9 little difficult. Without
endesvoring to master the proposition
before him. he yearns to 90 back to
that which he has left behind. In all
sincerity | can say to my fellow citi-
zens, that unless you are fully satisfied
that township organization cannot be
perfected you had better let eli petit
tons for re-submissiou have the 90
by. There is another point to which
| wish to call attention, and that is
that under township organization We
have had the first thorough equalizs-
ton of values Throughout. the county,
that under the law the assessors were
required to meet the county board
before proceeding to their work in
order for instructions and yet We iud
that after receiving them but two
complied with such Instructions, and
their valuations were obliged to be
reduced TO bring them on q par with
the others, and this appears to me t
be the kernel in the nut, for where
some portions of u county have
been paying more than their due pro-
portion OF taxes, others have been
paying less than their share, and now,
when called upon to bear an equal
share of the public burdens, they
complain of high taxes. Let any un-
prejudiced person examine this mat
ter for himself, and see if this is not 30.
GEO. s. TRUMAN.
P. 81 wish it distinctly under
stood that I consider the present
township law as needing considerable
amendment, and there is no doubt
from the Information I have received
that this would have been accorded
by the Legislature, if the friends of
re-submission had evinced half a.
much zeal for reform a. for their old
fogyism.
