CIRCULARS have been sent out
from headquarters to all the Assess
ors in the State demanding that
they assess all property at its true
cash value. Argument is made in
this circular that property has
heretofore only been assessed at
about half its cash value, and that
to raise the value to the full rate
and cut the tax rate in two would
raise just the same amount of rev.
enue and cost the taxpayers no
more. This would be true had the
last Legislature reduced the State
rate of taxes to 75c. instead of rails
ing it to $1.O0. This rate cannot
again be fixed until another meet
ing of the Legislature. 1t is true
that the County Boards of Equal
cation can reduce the county rate,
but this would make the burden of
the taxpayers but a triae lighter,
while doubling values and paying
State rate of 81 would increase the
burden much more than reducing
the county rate would tighten them.
For instance: There is a piece of
property that has always been as
sessed at 81 900; the rate for State
is 81 and for county So on the 800;
this would give to the State $40 and
to the county $40 for revenue. Now
if you raise the valuation of the
property to $4,000 and cut the
county rate to 81 on the 500 you
raise for revenue for the State $50
aud county $50; increasing the
taxes on the property $40 on the
1000, tor you cannot change the
State rate after it is fixed by the
Legislature. This kind of figuring
il hard times won't do. The peo-
pie of the State are tax ridden now,
and do not take very kindly to pay
ing more taxes for the purpose of
raising revenue to pay a lot of USE
less office holders.

News came from Samoa this
week that the Samoan rebels had
ambushed squad of American
and British marines, killing two
Americans and one Englishman
and cutting off their heads. The
whites fought bravely but were
fearfully outnumbered. The fight
was on the plantation of a German,
who it is reported melted the rebels
to attack the Americans and Eng
lishmen. Germany claims no re-
sponsibility for the trouble, but as
she has shown her teeth in Cuba,
Porto Rico and Manila there is a
suspicion that she is not altogether
without blame in the Samoan affair

A Model Platform.

The following Democratic plat
form from the Paola Spirit, Kansas,
is a mighty good one for the nation
at large. In form. substance and
brevity, it is a model f1r all parties,
and the one that adopts it will elect
the next President. Here it is in
full: "Noimperialism, no socialism,
no paternalism, no prohibition and
no trust making protective tariff;
silver and gold coined free at the
present ratio, as standard money,
war on trusts of every kind, strict
economy and fewer rather than
more public offices; peace with all
parties, entangling alliances with
none"

A NUMBER of the papers are still
talking about the Constitutional
Amendment bill. The bill is dead
and nothing can be done with it or
the holding of convention until
the next session of the Legislature.
1t does not make much difference
how the measure was knocked out
or whose fault it was, the State will
have to plod along in the same old
expensive rut for two years longer
than it would if Sadler had not
vetoed the bill. Everybody knows
who wants Constitutional Con-
vention in this State and who does
not, therefore the papers and the
people ought to know. how to act in
the future.
