Communication.

Ed. ENTERPRISE Seeing an article in
the Livingston Sentinel, ia democratic
campaign sheeD concerning Mr.. H. o
Hickox, candidate ON the republican
ticket for commissioner, which says on the
so-called excellent authority of his neigh
bors, that he will not carry his own precinct
and that he is devious IN his dealings.
wish to take the subject up and enlighten
some of the readers of your valuable pa
per. As far as regards Mr.. Hickox not
carrying this precinct, can safely say
that he will get handsome majority here,
and as for sayingt hat he is devious IN his
dealings, think that is doinga great in
justice to an honest man. Mr.. Hickox' s
business qualifications are such that he
would not go astray in anything. Heis one
Of the pioneers of Swcetgrass. He started in
business here with a few hundred dollars
worth of goods and log cabin, and now he
has large new store and fine hotel and
many other Improvements and stock of
goods that runs we'll up IN the thousands,
which show his ability and integrity as a
business man. And the only cause that
his nei ghbors can give for branding him
as they have, if they did as we only have
the Sentinel's word for it) is that he was al
ways ready to credit any of his customers
and when he was compelled to collect to
meet his own bills it no doubt put some
against him. Now we all know the ne
cessity of commissioner from this end
of the county and we could not put bet
ter man than II. O. Hickox IN the Office
And he need have no fear about not car
rylng his own precinct. And after the
9th of November Mr.. Roth will see that
Mr. Hickox stands few notches higher
than he imagined. and if Mr.. Roth cannot
down man catch as catch can, he had
better try it by fair and sure hold. Mr..
Hickox will be supported by many friends

ITO the Voters and Taxpayers of Park
County, Montana"
Melville, NJ. r., Oct. 20, 1888.

ITO the Voters and Taxpayers of Park
County, Montana"
ED. ENTERPRISE: Il notice in Il recent
issue of the Livingston Sentinel an article
under the above caption, over the sigma
lures Of our honorable board of county
commissioners, that is surely misleading
in at least two of the principal statements
contained therein, and to which l wish to
call the attention of the intelligent voters
Of Park county. First, ''The assessor re-
turns no list of railroad property" and
further carries the idea that the assessor
has no power to fix the value of property
assessed, but simply accepts the value
placed on the same by the property owner.
In answer | wish to cali your attention to
Sec. ID, page SO, of the laws passed at
the extraordinary session of the tiftt tenth
Legislative assembly, which contains
the following: 'The assessor of
each county shall assess and VALUE all
property required by the provisions Of this
act to be assessed and valued" Then it
is one of the duties of the assessor to fix
the VALUE on all property assessed by
him. Further, the railroad company has
never disputed by their attorneys and
agents this power of the county assessor,
but hree years since. when l, as assessor
of Gallatln county. raised, the assessment
of the railroad company on their lands to
just double the value returned by them,
the land commissioner was very ready to
meet the board of equalization with a
compromise and consented to raise of
something like $4,000 Second, they
state, 1.-THE assessor is never obliged to 90
to the employees individually in regard to
their special tax" The statute requires
the assessor to demand list of all taxable
property of each taxpayer, and if hc has
no real or personal property subject to
taxation the assessor must collect his spe-
cial poor tax. Further, the county COM
missioners of Gallatin county, at the re-
quest of C. w. Prossiter. master mechanic
of the Livingston shops, directed me to
call upon all railroad employees and de-
mand their SAID special tax, and this on
the advice OF the district attorney, and
that visited the employees personally can
he verified by the employees In the ma
chine shops. l make this correction in
justice to the taxpayers and to myself as
candidate for the office of county assessor,
and in order that no intelligent voter may
misunderstood the facts or be mlsled by
the false statements that have been or
may be made in regard to the assessors
powers aud duties. Respectfully,
#. P. MCDONALD.
