1t had a hard fight to reach the calen-
oar, although it was favored by the state
auditor who said its passage would
prevent a certain class from sbirkine
their taxes and place property valued at
from s5,OO0.0O0 to s100OO.O00 on the tax

Mr. Foss (Rep.), of Grant, said he had
been striving for years to have bin

deduct their debts from their assess
ments. While this bill did not allow
what he had been working for, it would

ciared with great earnestness that the
