and if Gen. Buckner chooses 10 try
the experiment, he ought to be cred

AN INSUFFICIENT APPROPRIATION.
Need for Reduction of the Expenses of the
State Board of Equalization.

An annual appropriation of $1,000 for the
expenses of the State Board of Equalization,
it is urged, has not, for several years,
been sufficient to cover the expenditure for
clerical work and the printing of the boards
reports. It is shown that if the clerk is paid
per diem for the actual number of days the
board can sit which are limited to forty, there
will be more than enough money to pay the ex
penses of printing and not necessitate charging
this work, as has been done, to the printing
fund. The Auditor Of State says that the appar-
ent extravaganza in the payment of the
clerk is not at all out of the way when
it is considered that for weeks before and after
the boards sittings the clerical work is onerous;
therefore, he does not get more than fair days
wages If he can charge only for the days the
board sat, then the rate of remuneration has
averaged for the past few years anywhere from
$2l % to $40 per day. There is necessity, too.
partially accounts for the sums charged to cler-
ical work. There has been also, an increase in
the number of copies of the report printed. In
stead of the 5000 copies authorized by law from
1900 to 5000 copies have been issued. In 1885
the Legislature limited the number to O00 but
that year 5. 200 copies were printed Since 1881
the cost OF this printing has varied from s178. rs
to 1858. 20, the amount expended last year. A
member of the board suggests that economy be
observed in clerk hire, and that no greater num-
Der of copies of the report be printed than the
law allows.

DISPUTED OWNERSHIP OF LAND.
Claim Which VIM. John Wallace Threatens
to Maintain by Force, if Necessary.

Eighteen acres of land, with an ownership
warmly and somewhat seriously disputed, is the
basis of suit brought, yesterday, by George B.
Yandes. assignee of the Ritzingers, against
Rachel Wallace and others. It lies just east of
the city, and for long time has been source
of contention for William John, Andrew and
Rachel Wallace. The last named is the wife of
Andrew. Several years ago, it is said, judg-
ment was rendered against William John Wal
lace, it acting as lien on the property in ques-
ton. Andrew, the story goes. paid this judy
ment, and instead of treating this as purchase
of the land, assigned the certificate of lien there
on to his wife, Rachel. She afterwards,
on the strength of this certificate, procured
a deed conveying the property to her. In the
meantime William John mortgaged the land to
his brother Andrew. to secure loan of SIS, 000
The mortgage was forecosed and the land pur-
chased by Andrew. The certificate of this pur-
chase given TO him he afterwards assigned to
the Ritzingers as collateral for borrowed money
1t is reported that William John Wallace has
threatened to support his claim to the eighteen
acres by force, if necessary. even if he has to
shoot sheriff to keep him in possession. The
assignee now brings suit to support the interest
OF his trust obtained in the certificate assigned
by Andrew Wallace
