atty tax.
BRowNToN, May 5th, 1890.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
DEAR SIR:-I have been much in
terested in your controversy with
Mr.. Pillsbury. You have made good
your statement, and Mr.. p, like the
gentleman he is, acknowledges all,
but still claims that elevator proper
ty only pays 2 to 5 per cent. do
not think much could be learned by
an examination of his books, but
something can be learned by an ex-
animation OF his business. For in
stance, the following is an exception:
In the village OF Stewart there are
two elevators of about 25 or 30
thousand bushel capacity. One is
owned by the Pillsbury Company, the
owner of the other is unknown to
me. There is also a small elevator
or warehouse valued at about 81 200
owned by G. K. Gilbert, of Glencoe.
The owners of the two first named
elevators pay Mr.. Gilbert $3.50 per
year to keep his elevator closed.
This! According to my figures, is 20
per cent. interest on property not to
use but to stand idle. It is my
opinion that elevator property
throughout the state to pay only 2
or per cent. would have to be heav-
lily watered. Yours Respectively,
FRED FORCIER.

Mr.. Miller, of Foston, asks us some
questions which it is very hard to
answer-about the "Union Labor
Party
Probably one reason why the dele
gates appointed to go from Minneso-
ia to the Cincinnati Conference, in
1887, was the fact no funds were
provided. Party work is expensive
work. Going to conventions is ex-
pensive. And right there is a point
er in reference to the attempted Or
ganization in 1SSS-it was supposed
the state could be organized without
money.
We now have powerful organiza-
ton, the Alliances. But still, in dis
cussing the subject the Alliances
must consider the financial aspect.
OF course every party paper in the
state will fight for party. You have
the GREAT WEST, it is true-and it
will stand right up to the rack. But
the new party will want to send it
into $4,000 houses every week for
ten weeks with every column filled
with campaign material.
Lewis Sommervold, Secy of the
Candy Alliance, writes us a letter
showing progressive work in their al
lance. They took in five new mem
bers on the 3rd, and discussed the
State Alliance, the middle-man, and
other topics. They considered the
GREAT WEST fully worth a place as
an organ to fight for the laborer's
rights.

Irvine matters.

WISCONSIN FARMERS ALLIANCE,

WISCONSIN FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Ed. GREAT WEST:
But little has been heard from the
Wisconsin Farmers Alliance, but
the increase of members OF local al
liances in this state has been SO
gratifying that we feel like saying to
the people, we will soon be ready to
talk with them.
At our last annual meeting held in
Baraboo, June 5th, 1889, we had but
IL Subordinate Alliances in the
state. We had 81 when our state
secretary was last heard from, and
the number will be increased to Is
or 80 by the time of the next annual
meeting of the State Alliance which
will be held in BARABoo, JUNE BIRD,
and 4th, 1890.
AS we have not had our lecturer
in the field this increase is satisfac-
tory, and our success is largely due
to The good work of our state secre-
tary, N. E. Moody. OF Viroqua, Wis.
Our worthy President, Col. Butt, OF
Viroqua, has not been backward in
giving good words and good work
for the farmers cause.
In addition to the election OF Off
GERS we will consider the Importance
of the day, and be ready to stand OF
move as a power to promote the
good of the people.
On the second day-Wednesday
there will be a grand farmers picnic
to be held at DEVILS Lake near Bara
boo, under the auspices OF the loca
alliances in honor of the vicinity
delegates. All farmers and thei1
friends are cordially invited. Come
and be with us. VIM. TOOLE.

now ask the question, what has been the cause
of this vast difference in the assessment OF proper
ty in the differeet districts? lnmy opinion 1t has
arisen from there being two boards OF assessors,
the one putting higher valuation on the same
class of property than the other. Consequently
this great difference has occurTcd-Wnlcn mas
operated TO the injury of large class of taN-pay-
ing citizens, in those districts whose property was
valued at "a higher rate: - .
good sound Judgment, well acquainted with value
OF live stock and landed property and everything
appertaining to farming operations, who should
visit the several districts andhereby be able to fix
fair and relative valuation on the various species
Of property not increasing 1t in some districts and
lessening in others. Ii this were done we would
have more satisfactory and equal assessment, by
odds, than that of 1876.
If the county should be divided into two districts
and two boards of assessors appointed in all pro
liability the same inequality win be the result. 1t
may be said that it viii require longer time for
set of assessors TO perform their work than II
there were two. But is not infinitely better to have
a fair, equal valuation of the assessable property
of the whole county, than to have such great diff
terence i'm the several districts although 1t may re-
qure a longer time?
As regards the reviewing Board that was
appointed to correct the errors that might be
made by the assessors, it was found they were
unable to make changes in the assessment of real
property. They made some small corrections in
personal property which could have been idone by
the County Commissioners.
This appendage to the two boards of assessors
seemed to be useless and should be abolished for the
future TAN PAYER.

The Woolsey Boad Bequest-General Road
Supervisors.

MR.. EDITOR: The discussion now going on
about Public Roads leads me to think the time has
arrived when there should be some action taken
in regard to the bequest made by Mr.. VIM. Wool
sey for repairing the public roads in the county.
If any legislation is needed now is the time to get
1t,
/ would suggest that our County Commissioners
appoint a committee of their body to visit Miss
WoOlsey and ascertain her views or her desire on
that particular bequeSt, and obtain that i'll writing,
so they NAV be enabled to act knowingly.
As regards the cry made by some against &C
ceptng this money by the county think ii is very
foolish, from the fact that these roads must be
stoned. This fact should not be forgotten. Will
those persons prefer taking the money out of their
own pockets instead of taking what Mr.. WoolSey
offered to give? If so, how foolish. Suppose the
road leading from my house to the main road (say
a of mieD was very low and wet. and one of my
neighbors would offer to give me $500 to make it
a good road, and should say, "Oh no, that may
not be quite enough to do ii. will take it all out
of my own pocket Would not these same per-
sons say had made a mistake? think so.
Mr.. Editor, while we are on the road question,
there is one point that needs legislation, and that
is the Office of General Road Supervisor. This
office was created when farming and all other i'll
terests were booming. Now when it is necessary
for us to retrench in all expenditures, would il
not be entirely proper to dispense with this office
at saving Of from 5000 to 5000 year to go Oh
the roads?
Let the Commissioners of the county appoint
persons to keep the roads in order as they former
Nv did. The commissioner knows just as well who
to appoint to repair the roads in his district the
present officer. j. +. 5.
