NEED OF TAX REFORM.

A Tax Payers League has been
organized at PIatteville, to secure
the enforcement of the laws regu lat
inc taxation. This is an outgrowth
of tax lodging by owners OF secur-
tiles. The amount OF moneys re-
turned for taxation in PlattevllIe by
the assessor was about $4,000. An
investigating committee appointed
by citizens found records IN the reg
lister of deeds office showing that
Platteville citizens had about S500,OJo
in securities on Grant county prop
erty. Ihls report was placed WIN tne
board ufreyiew, and ii that body fails
to add hi, property to the tax roll,
it is pr, sumed the Tax Payers
League will take legal steps to con-
test the assessment of the city. In
the investigation, 1t was found that
the city of Lancaster has about the
same number OF moneyed taX-dod-
gers as Platteville.

county are no worse than the aver
