The New assessors Blank.

AO0VS0VHSH
| Idaho Falls Times.l
An entirely new form of blank has
been adopted for the use of assessors.
The law provides:
The State board shall cause to be
prepared forms of lists of property for
the use of assessors in assessing in
the several counties OF the State, by
which all property, real aud personal,
shall DO arranged in classes, and the
aggregate of all such classes shall en-
brace all property of every kind and
description, subject to taxation, except
such property as is by this act made
assessable by the State Board of
Equalization.-Laws Second Session.
Section 1883 of the Revised S,st>
u!es also reads:
If any person, after demand made
by the assessor, negleots or refuses to
give under oath the statement herein
provided for, or to comply with the
other requirements of this title, the
assessor must note the refusal en- the
assessment book, opposite his name,
and must make an estimate of the
value of the property of such person,
and the value SO fixed by the assessor
must not be reduced by the board Of
commissioners.-R. S. OF Idaho.
1t therefore behooves every one,
when the assessor calls upon the
and hands them one of his blanks, to
make correct statement of all the
property owned by him, as he is
obliged to make oath to the statement,
and it any property should be found
by searching the records or otherwise
that has not been enumerated the
party is liable for perjury, aud the as
SCISSOR can assess the same and the
board OF equalization must not reduce
tho valuation upon such assessment.

TAXATION AND REvENUE.
Economy Urged in the Use of the Pub
lie Money.

Economy Urged in the Use of the Pub
lie Money.
Economy in public expenditures is a duty
that cannot beinnocently neglected by those
entrusted with the control OF money drawn
from the people for public uses. 1t must be
confessed that our apparently endless re
sources, the familiarity OF our people with
immense accumulation Of wealth, the grow
ing sentiment among them that the expendi-
ture OF money should he in some manner to
their immediate and personal advantage the
direct and almost stealthy manner in which
q large part OF our taxes are eXacted and
degenerated sense of official accountability
have led to growing extravaganza in gov
eTnmental appropriations.
At this time a deplsted public treasury con
fronts US and many OF our people are
engaged in a hard struggle for the necessaries
OF life As enforced economy is pressing upOn
the great mass of our countrymen desire to
urge with all the earnestness at my com
mand that congressional legislation be so
limited by strict economy as to exhibit an
appreciation of the condition of the treasury
IN sympathy with the strained circumstances
of our fellow citizens. The duty of public
economy is also of immense importance in
its intimate and necessary relation to the
task now in hand OF providing for revenue to
meet government expenses and yet reducing
the peoples burden of federal taxation.
REFORM or THE TARIFF.
After hard struggle tariff reform is di-
rectly before us. Nothing so important
claims our attention and nothing so clearly
presents itself as both an opportunity and a
duty, an opportunity to deserve the graft
tude Of our fellow citizens, duty imposed
upon us by our oft-repeated professions and
by the emphatic mandate of the people. All
ter full discussion our countrymen have spo-
ken in favor of this reform and they have
confded the work of its accomplishment to
the hands OF those who are solemnly pledged
| to it. II there is anything in the theory of
representation in public places OF the people
aud their desires: if political officers are really
the servants of the people and if political
promises and professions have any binding
| force, our failure to give the relief so long
awaited will be sheer recreancy Nothing
should intervene to distract our attention or
disturb our effort until this reform is ae-

quickly reduce the postal revenues
Therefore, larger discrepancy than
usual between the postoffice receipts
and expenditures is the expected and
unavoidable result of the distressing
stringency which has prevailed through
out the country dtcing much of the
time covered by the postmaster gen
erals report.
DEFICIT OF EIGHT MILLIONS.
At date when better times were
anticipated, it was estimated by his
predecessor that the deficiency on the
both day of June, 1893, would be a little
over million and half dollars it
amounted, however, TO more than five
millions. AT the same time and under
the influences of like auticipations,
estimates were made for the current
fscial year ending Jund 80, 1894, which
exhibited a surplus of revenue over
expenditures of SS72, 25461. But now,
. in view of the actual receipts and ex-
penditures during that part Of the cur
rent fiscal year already expired, the
recent postmaster general estimates
that at its close, instead Of surplus,
there will be a deficiency of nearly
eight million dollars.
The postofice receipts for the last
fiscal year amounted to SIS 500 933. Is
and its expenditures to ISL, 074 ,1O4 90.
This postofice deficiency would disap-
pear or would be immensely decreased
if less matter were carried free through
the mails, an item of which is upward
Of 800 tons Of seeds and grain from the
agricultural department.
The total numoer of postofices in
the United States on the 30th day oil
June, 1898 was 6s ,403, an, increase Of
1,2S4 over the preceding wear.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
The Progress of National ship Building
Is Encouraging

The Progress of National Ship Building
Is Encouraging.
The report of the secretary OF the navy
contains a history OF the operations of his
department during the past year and exhib-
its a most gratifying condition OF the per-
sonnet of ournavy. He presents g satisfactory
account OF the progress which has been made
in the construction of vessels and makes a
number OF recommendations to which men
ton is specially invited.
Since 1886 congress has at each session
authorized the building of one or more yes
sells, and the secretary OF the navy presents
an earnest plea for the continuance of this
plan. He recommends the authorization of
at least one battleship and six torpedo boats.
While ! am distinctly in favor OF consistently
pursuing the policy we have inaugurated of
building up thorough and efficient navy,
can not refrain from the suggestion that
congrt IS should carefully take into account
the number OF unfinished vessels on our
hands and the depleted condition OF our
treasury in considering the propriety OF an
appropriation at this time to begin new
work.
The method Of employing mechanical labor
at navy yards through boards OF labor and
making efficiency the sole test by which lab
orers are employed and continued is produc-
ing the best results and the secretary is
searnesly devoting himselfto its development.
Attention is invited to the statements Of his
report in regard to the workings OF the
system.

antly sufficient to meet every require
ment of our increasing population and
business. In the pursuit of this object
we should resolutely turn away from
alluring and temporary expedieuts, de-
termined TO DO content with nothing
less than lasting aud mprehensive
financial plan. In these circumstances
/ am convinced that reasonable delay
in dealing with the subject, instead of
being injurious, will increase the prob
ability of wise action.
THE BRUSSELS CONFERENCE.
The monetary conference which as
sembled at Brussels, upon our invita-
ton, was adjourned 10 the Goth day of
November in the present year. The
considerations just stated and the fact
that a definite proposition from the
United States seemed to be expected on
the reassembling of the conference, led
me to express a willingness to have the
meeting still further postponed. Itseems
to me that it would be wise to give gen
eral authority to the president to invite
other nations to such a conference at
any time(when there should be a fair
prospect of accomplishing an interna-
tional agreement on the subject Of coin

desire also to earnestly suggest the
wisdom of amending the existing stat
utes in regard to the issuance of gov

vested in the secretary of the treasury
to issue bonds is not as clear as it should

vantageous TO the government, both as
to the time of their maturity and rate

Prospecting.
Neither Indian outbreaks nor domes-
tic violence has called the army into
service during the year, and the only
active military duty required of it has
been in the department of Texas, where
violations of the neutrality laws of the
United States and Mexico were prompt
ly and efficiently dealt with by the
troops, ehciting the warm approval of
the civil and military authorities of both
countries.
The operation of wise laws and the
influences of civilization constantly
tending to relieve the country from dan
gers of Indian hostilities, together with
the increasing ability of the states
through the efficiency of the national
guard organizations to protect their
citizens from domestic violence, led to
the suggestion that the time is fast APP
preaching when there should be a reor-
ganization of our army on the lines of
the present necessities of the country.
This change contemplates neither in

but redistribution of the force and an
