On Wednesday Mr.. Ahlness, of this
county, introduced a bill in the lower
house to repeal section of chapter Is,
General Laws of 1870, which compels
county assessors to obtain full and care
full agricultural statistics from every
farmer in their respective counties or
districts, under a heavy penalty. The
author of the bill is practical farmer,
and is on the Alliance side of the house,
SO far as politics is concerned. In
speaking of the bill, Mr. Ahlness said
that the present law was regarded with
much disfaYor by the farmers. They
looked upon the gathering and publica-
ton of these statistics firstly as simply
a basis for speculation in agricultural
products, and secondly as serving as a
pretext for searching out for purposes
OF taxation all their property. They
hold that these statistics impose large
and unnecessary amount of work upon
county assessors, which when gathered
IS published too late to be of any use to
the farmer, and further, that the aeri.
cultural statistics obtained every five
years when the census is taken are amp.
ly sufficient for all information desired
on the subject. The bill was referred
to the judiciary committee. Pioneer
