with state senators he has had SUIT
feient encouragement to warrant his
belief that he will not be last. and that
he stands as good show as anyone
for winning it.

METROPOLITAN Police.

There is quite division of senti-
ment locally with regard to the metro
politan police system. The majority
of the citizens appear to favor the
present system, especially those who
remember the abuses and corruption
inseparable from the old plan
of putting the police power
in the hands of council. Both
systems have their strong points and
their advocates. but it is probable that
the preponderauce of loeal sentiment
is in favor of letting the present very

B. AND |. STOCK.
County Assessors Have Right to Ex-
anime Books of Assool atlons.

A county assessor has the right TO
inspect the books of building and loan
associations to learn whether all the
stock therein has been properly listed
for taxation, and to obtain a writ of
mandamus to compel their production
for that purpose. The supreme court
reversed the case of the state on re-
lation of the county assessor of Mon.
roe county against the Real Estate
building and loan association in which
the circuit court held that he had not.
The court says that it is the policy
OF this state TO subject ali private prop
erty to taxation except such held for
municipal, educational, literary, re-
ligious or charitable purposes as may
be specially exempted by law. and that
the county assessors have authority.
and it is made their duty, to search
for. discover, list and assess all omitted
property subject to taxation, and to
the production of books and
papers needed in conducting his
search.
