GOVERNOR McCoNxELL recon-
'nends in his message that some ade-
quate provision be made for enforcing
the statute that provides that all tax
able property must be assessed at its
full cash value, thereby reducing the
rate of taxation. The Governor says
that under our present system Of .
low valuation and a high tax rate in
vestors instinctively shrink from pur-
chasing property, and they will sell
dom take the trouble to acquxint them
selves with the facts showing that the
high rate is apparent, rather than
real. One difficulty is that the rate
of State taxation is fixed by statute,
the present rate being 85 cents for
each 800. Under this system in
creased valuation would increase the
amount of State taxes, and the citi-
zens of the counties naturally shrink
from imposing such an added burden
upon themselves. The Governor
points out a remedy for these evils
which is to be found, he says, in the
creation of State board having au-
thority to fix the rate OF State taxa
ton in accordance with the needs OF
the treasury after the assessment shall
have been made, and tnis board should
be given all necessary power to
equalize assessments, and to enforce
the provision of law requiring all
property to be assessed at its full cash
value. 1t should be authorized to re.
view the work of any county upon it.
own invitation, and to hear and de-
eide appeals from rulings of county
boards in matters of assessment.

Gov. McCoNNELL suggests the en-
sctment Of law providing for the
election OF three Assessors in each
county instead OF one, they II be
elected, one in each Commissioners
district, in the same manner and 10
serve the same length Of time - the
County Commissioners. It should
be their duty to assess the property,
each in his district, their compensa-
tion to be such as might be fixed by
law. This would probably be good
idea, as the pay Of the three Asses
sors, it would appear, would be no
more than that of one. The labor OF
each Assessor IN each of the three dis
tricts would be no more than one.
third of the work that would have tc
be done by one Assessor for the en-
tire county, and If the cost to the
county would no more under the new
system it would surely be much bet
ter. With district Assessors closer
work would be done. With a county
Assessor much property naturally
evades taxation that would not es-
cape the district Assessor, whose IA
miliarity with every piece of property
in his own section would be decided
advantage in making the assessment
Under this system more poll take:
would be collected.

Grand Jury.

The report of the grand jury was filed fate this afternoon, too late 10 publish in this issue. A synopsis Is given here:
 Seventeen indictments were found. nine charges ignored and one dis missed.
 The county treasurer is compli ment- ed on his manner of keeping his accounts and general office affairs. The money was counted and found o. K.
 Ditto, the district clerks office.
 The iail is kept in No. condition, but needs supply of new blankets.
 The recor;er's office Is kept in per- feet shape.
 The county hospital has six patients and needs new floor in the kitchen.
 The board of supervisors for 1892 1895 have been paying too much for printing inc delinquent tax list. The printer didn't run the type clear across the column and used type larger than the law provides; (which, on the contrary, is smaller than the law proviles) and it is recommended that hereafter the method of placing the assessed valuation Of property in tho ,ax I;-.

 Tine bonds of county officers are all W. G. except those of ". D. Monmon- fer and Vim. Staehle, and all officers must file new bonds with these ex- captions, J. P. McAliister included.
 The assessors office was not exam ined owing to the incomplete condi- ton of books.
 Justices Duncan and Koska's offices were found in good order, but sugges- tions were made as to reforms.
 The sherif's office was found in apple pie order, the books neatly kept and the money promptly turned over to the treasurer.
 2 The probate judge needs new set of pigeon holes and the judge has net receiYsj his salary for the first quar- ter.
 The board of supervisors dropped MT. McAllister from the roll after he had been elected which the jury found is illegal and reprehensible in the ex- treme. The minutes of the board dur the controversy which were published in the PRosPEcroR are copied into the grand jury report. The board had no right to declare NIT. McAllister in eligible, and there was no Writtsn resig- nation to be found on file. That the district attorney did not ask for assis- tance in looking after the county's interests and that the employment oi extra counsel was not proper.
