LAWS ENACTED BY
THE LEGISLATURE.

Gus counties proportionate. BY so do
ing. it is thought, the board will make
general increase in valuations, and
consequently an increase In the rev.
enue for the state.
In the past it has been impossible
for the county assessors to agree
among themselves or with the board
of equalization.
AS originally drawn up the bill pro-
vided that the board be made up of
county assessors alone. This was the
principal objection raised to 1t In the
senate, Senator McCreery and others
insisting that as worded it was uncon-
stitutional. The constitution creates
the state board of equalization. assign
ing to that board the duties which
We're to be given the proposed state
board of assessors. Many and lengthy
arguments We're made against the pas
sage Of the bill, and the prospects were
that as many more would follow, when
Senator Seldomridge offered an amend
ment, adding the state board of equal
ization. Thus the duties of the latter
board will not be interfered with by
the bill. AS so amended 1t Iassed the
senate early Monday morning on sec
ond rending In the evening the
amendments were conculred in by the
house, and the act went TO the gov.
ernor.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1899-04-18
Two Bills Vetoed.

Two Senate bills We're vetoed. s.
b 139. by Senator Roe, concerning the
government of the Soldiers and Sail
ors Home, was one of the bills killed.
Governor Thomas said that the sub
iect matter of the bill was not germane
to its title. and was obnoxious TO the
requirements of article ., section "a, OF
the constitution. The subject matter
he said, had been amply covered by an
other bill, which was approved.
The other measure vetoed was S. b
800. by Senator FELTON,, to increase the
salaries of the secretary and stenogra-
pher of the State Board of Horticul-
ture. The Governor thinks the condi-
ton of the state treasury does not war
rant the increase of salaries where the
duties of the office have not been in
creased.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1899-04-18
wnat -KaIsomines" Are.

"Kalsomines" are cheap temporary
preparations manufactured from
chalks, clays, whiting, etc, and are
stuck on the wall with decaying ami
NAL glue. They bear no comparison
with Alabastine. which is cement
that goes through process of setting,
and hardens with age. Consumers, in
buying Alabastine. should see that the
goods are in packages and properly
labeled. Nothing else is "just as
good" as Alabastine The claims of
new limitations are absurd on their
face. They cannot offer the test of
time for durability.
