Township Assessors.

The township assessors are now max
ing their rounds, and it may be well to
explain to the people that the statisti-
| cal information that the assessor must
obtain has no connection whatever with
the assessment of property for taxation
The assessment list that every tax pay
er must fill up, no matter how little
property he may own, is what governs
| the tax levy. The head of a family Is
allowed to hold $500 worth of property
free from taxation. If the property he
gives in to the assessor amounts to more
| than 5000, that amount will be deduct
ed. But the facts about farm and or
chard products, live stock, manufacto-
ries, and the many other matters that
every properly posted assessor will in
Quire about, should be freely given. The
standing OF the townships and Of the
county will be known by the tables that
will be prepared and published.
We have before us the report of the
state board of agriculture for last year.
1t shows that Barber county had but
one mandatory, employing but $4,000
capital; four hands; that it used but
81 $40 worth of raw material, and turn
ed out product of but SS.045l What
institution could that have been Ger
tainly not the HaZelton or Elm Creek
Touring mills. One or both of these
plants were evidently left out. Then
there are the many small grIst mills in
the county; the broom factories; the
saddle and harness shops; the wagon
and buggy factories; the shoe shops,
and other industries. Evidently the
township assessors were not anxious to
make good showing for the county.
Again: take the item of ANIMALS fat
tened and slaughtered, or sold for
slaughter, for the year 1885," and the
assessors say that Barber county had
Sl19,SS4 worth Any school boy knows
that S500000 would be nearer the cor
rect figures.
Barber county is the best stock coun-
ty III Kansas, and has more cattle than
any county in this part of the state, and
yet the assessors say that we had but
S537 900 worth
Something is wrong. The assessors
are not doing the work they are paid to
do. They are putting this county in the
position of being very poor in every
thing. If they will but make an effort,
the statistical tables will be complete
and truthful, and that is what they are
paid to do. If they are not interested
in having the county appear in its best
light, let them resign in favor of some
one vino is,

Who Will 1t Be!


There has never been time since It's
incorporation when Medicine has need
ed to be so careful in the selection of a
mayor and city council as at the pres
ent time. The prosperity of the city for
years to come will practically be in the
hands of the six men to be elected by
the people on the first day of April.
They Will have control of the water
works and the sugar works; they will
have the giving or the selling of the
mill privilege connected with the water
ditch; they will have control of the
street improvements that will probably
be made this year; it will be with them
to say whether the water ditch Is to be
permanency, as water power, or
simply ditch through which water is
to run to the sugar works; they will
likely be called on to dictate terms on
which an electric light plant may be
established; there will undoubtedly be
another railroad knocking for admis-
sion, and the council will have to repre-
sent the people. And there may arise
hundred questions that will call for
the best judgment of the city officers.
In the main, the retiring city govern
ment has worked for the best interests
Of the people, we think; but no one will
pretend to say that even ordinary bust
ness principles were followed in connec-
ton with the expenditure of $500 for
the water ditch. The present council
did not show that foresight that was to
have been expected of it when it ''dilIy-
dallied' with Col. Eldred's first sugar
works proposition, and as consequence
we think the city lost by the delay. The
council was too much inclined to strain
at gnats, and finally had to swallow
camels in the details of the proposed
waterworks. But even with these
shortcomings, we think the city gov
eminent as now constituted, is honest
and conscientious. and at least a part
of it should be reelected.
We have no pet candidate for any
position, but, with the best element of
this city we demand that the very best
men in the town be put In the impor-
tant positions at the city election.
There must be no north and south end
light and the first man to suggest such
a tight should be fired out of the town.
The stores and the banks of this CITY
ire no more interested in It's peIma-
nent prosperity than is the most
humble citizen who has his all invested
~ business or home. If we could have
our way we would see that no rival bu-
sineSs interests were permitted to WELD
Extraordinary influence in the coming
election.

The Sugar Works.

We had hoped 20 be able, IN this issue,
to announce that the proposed sorghum
sugar works were a certainty; but such
statement would not be absolutely
true. However. we will say that the
prospects are brighter now than they
have been at any time since the works
were first talked of. The city council
is prepared to accept the last PROPOSE
ton of Col. Eldred, with slight modifi-
cations, to which he has consented. He
has ascertained what machinery he
must have, and the price has been
agreed on. The only difference between
him and the manufacturers now is the
small matter of putting the machinery
in position, and it is expected that this
difference will be settled in few days.
The land for the plant has been pur-
chased the location of the switch has
been decided on; the condemnation
proceedings will be commenced at once,
and the probability is that in our next
issue we can announce positively that
Medicine Lodge is to have a sorghum
sugar plant with capacity of 200 tons
of cane per dav.
The city advertised for bids for the
bonds, bids to be received until eight
O'Clock this. Wednesday. evening. 1t
Is understood that the bids will be open
ed, but that no bid will be accepted I'M
til it is known definitely that the pro-
ceeds of the bonds will be needed. This
delay will be but short one. The coun-
Gil, to man, is opposed To issuing the
bonds unless it is positively known that
the city is to have the sugar plant and
waterworks. Under no circumstances
will the council agree to expend so
large sum OF money for waterworks
alone.
