Assessors Should Be Careful.

This being the year of the Triennial As
seSsment. the several Assessors should not
forget that their work sustsins Y ry close
relation to the State School Appropriation
The Act of Assembly governing this Is a
fellows:
..That it shall be the duty of the Com
miSsiuners of each county To ascertain
trieuuiallV, with the assistance OF the rep
reseutaiive assessors, the exact number ui
taxable citizens residing in eacd school dis
trict in tteir several counties, and To eeru
fv the same under their hands ano seals OF
the office, To the superintendent of common
schools, who Is hereby directed To adopt
the number of taxabies thus certified I"
him as the basis of distribution ot the
Stale appropriation, whicDsaid certlhcate
shall be prepared and transmitted on or
before the first Monday in June IN every
third wear, commencing with the hrst
Monday of June, A. ID, lS6o.
II. therefore, becomes che duty of the
Assessors to return along with their asSesS-
mani the number of resident taxabies for
school purposes. This return becomes the
basis for the distribution of the State ap-
preparation for the next three years. The
more .sxaUles reported the larger will be
the State appropriation to the district
Assessors should not miss a resident taxa
bic, which is, as we understand it. all citi-
zsds of a district male or female-who
pay tax upon p -operty, occupation or money
1t also includes resident taxsbles through
undivided estates For instance: John
Kaufman's estate is taxed but not yet di-
vided. There NAV be one or more female
heirs, who, although not taxed in theil
own right, are yet taxed through their un
divided share in the kaufman estate, anc
should be returned as taxables 10 that dis
| trict.
We know that much of the supposed IN
Just distribution of the appropriation has
| its source in the return OF taxables by the
| Assessors To the county commissioners. A
full and complete return will insure the
full and just appropriation, which now av
erages about $500 to every taxable, anc
omissions become quite serious mattel
when so much is III stake

Representative Phillips denies emphati-
cally report published yesterday to the
effect that he had offered To pay the ex-
penses that would be created if his bill
passes which authorizes the appointment
of a commission of twenty-one members To
consider questions affecting capital, agri-
culture and labor. In conversation with
the Post reporter last night Mr.. Phillips
said:
'I cannot understand how such repor,
was stated, and especially as never made
the alleged offer. 1 am deeply interested
in securing the enactment into law of the
bill introduced and believe the questions
involved are of the gravest character. In
conversation with FREUD recently regard
ing the proposed commission the question
of its expense was brought up told him
that when the great loss to property. and
even life, by the recent coal, coke and rail
road strikes was considered that the qu-s
ton of the cost of the proposed commission
sank into insigni6cance. In round num-
bers the commission would cost a quarter
Of q million dollors, and | stated frankly il

bill. If the commission proposet should

ing so much attention in both Euroge and
America, and il it should obviate a single
strike, like those mentioned above the
cost of the commission should not be con
sidered. Such An offer as reported l would
not consider as an argument OF reason ioI
passing the bill"

1T is believed that the President will be
obliged to call an extra session of the new
Congress after the adjournment of the
present session. Leaders at Washington
say that the talk about an extra session of
Congress, so far from being unxelcome, is
received acceptably in certain quarters
There are Republicans who believe and
assert that if the Domocracy continues in
active and divided to The end Of this con-
gress. it will be the duty Of the
