A Pioneer Citizen Of Audrain County
Passed Away Wednesday Night
Led Quiet Life.

Isaac G. French, aged 70 years, IL
months and days, died at his home
in southwest Mexico at 11:25 O'Clock
Wednesday night, Jan. 16, after suffer
ing two weeks from pneumonia. The
disease came on after weeks illness
of grip.
Deceased was born in Christian
county, KY, on Feb. 9, 1927, and de-
scended from Revolutionary forefa-
thers. When but 8 years Of age and
in 1888, Pinckney French, father Of
the deceased, ex-SherifT Of Christian
county, KY, moved to eastern Gala
way county and entered upon, vast
tracts of land in territory which is
now embraced in Audrain and Gala
way counties.
In 1850 Isaac C.French was married
to Malinda Mansfield, daughter Of
Rev. R. @. Mansfield, founder Of Mex
leo. Mr.. French met, wooed and won
the woman whom he married while
going to school with her, the school
being presided over by her father, R.
C. Mansfield.
The wedding occurred on Sept. 5,
1850, about the time Mr.. French
moved from the home of his father in
Galloway county to farm in south
eastern Audrain county. -Four years
after the close of the civil war, in
which Mr. French took no active part,
further than enlisting his sympathy
with the Union, and in 1869 Mr..
French, with his family, moved to a
farm 4 miles northeast Of Mexico.
During his residence there he served
for years as deputy County Assessor
under Assessor Beatty. Later and
after he had moved to Mexico in 1882,
he served as City Assessor in this
city. By his fairness and honesty he
gave perfect satisfaction both in the
office of the County and City Asses
sors.
About 20 years ago Mr.. French con-
tracted pneumonia. The disease
developed an abcess and he has been
practically an invalid since. For 1G
years he has been more closely con-
fined to his home. In politics, Mr..
French was an ardent Democrat, al
though before the war he was a Whig.
He was a member Of the Christian
church and lived up to the demands
of church rulings. He was not a
member of any lodge.
Deceased leaves a wife and the
following children: r. E. French, Of
this city, DR.. Pinckney French, Of
3g7I Delmar boulevarde, st. Louis

family for5O years was that Of daugh
ter, Elizabeth, who died at the age o.
three months.

Jan II had the pleasure of calling on
ex-President Benjamin F. Harrison In
company with a party of Missourianas,
headed by Hon. Walter Williams,
editor Of the Columbia Herald. The
object Of the call was to induce Presl-
dent Harrison to deliver an address at
the Missouri Univerity, which he will
likely do some time next winter. Pres
ident Harrison, while hard at work on

splendid health and is very popular

A LARGE number of citizens of Mexi-
co, including most active Democrats,
are in~favor of not having any politics
in our city elections. They favor the
citizens and taxpayers getting to-
gether and nominating the best busi-
ness men in the city for councilmen.
All seem to recognize the Importance
at this time Of having business mel
of sterling worth in charge Of the
affairs Of the city. There is not busi-
ness man in Mexico who will not serve
as councilman if the people show that
they appreciate the necessity Of having
such men in charge of this business. The
Office should seek the man and not the
man the office, at this particular time
especially. The income Of the city
last year was a littm over s12, 900. More
than one-fourth Of this amount was
paid out for salaries. Just think Of
that. More than one-fourth of the in
come Of the city of Mexico goes for
salaries. Still there were councimen
who were opposed to the reduction.

assessment S1,OOs,672, or over 13 per
cent, making the total assessment
s,547, ,S52. The assessment Of the
county Immediately north, Monroe,
for the same year was only raised
about 6i per cent, while that of
Boone, a much wealthier county, ad-
joining ON the south and west, escaped
an increase altogether. Again Au-
drain county was compelled to pay an
additional tax into the county treas
ury for local purposes something
wholly unnecessary and undesired) by
reason Of the valuation being increas-
ed Sl,OOs,672. The proposed amend
ment will avoid just such wrongs and
inequalities in assessment, as well as
permit many other necessary reforms.
1t limits the sources for which State
revenue shall be derived to taxes
upon corporations, including fran
chises, license and inheritance taxes,
fines and forfeitures and fees of public
officers, leaving thereby all real
and personal property to be taxed
only for county and local purposes.
This would permit localities TO raise
whatever revenue they might desire
by allowing the property therein to be
valued high or low, as occasion might
demand. Counties could build roads;
cities construct improvements, etc,
as the people might wish, with full
assurance that all revenue raised
would be retained and applied to local
uses and not go into the State Treas
ury to pay taxes which ought possibly
be paid by Others. st. Louis, for ex-
ample, last year paid $3.50, 7O2. II real
and personal tax out of total col
lected by the State ON that kind of
property Of S2,492, ,0e6s4; under the
proposed amendment this amount
would have been retained by the city.
The only question which remains,
therefore, is, can sufficient revenue
for State purposes be raised from the

affirmative. From the Auditors

City MARSHAL LANE In a talk
with the LEDGER to-day about the
dog tax said; Between Jan. l, 1900,
and Jan. l, 1901, 126 dogs were
killed and buried in Mexico at cost
of 75c each. During that time s34
was paid in dog tax. The last as
ssessment shows that there are
only SO dogs in Mexico and 81 will be
collected ON each one. If as many
dogs are killed during this year as
last there will be 40 dogs less than
none in Mexico. Marshal Lane says
IL is not his duty to collect
the dog tax or to assess the dog tax.
He or the night police kill the dogs
when found without a collar on.
