TO The SUPERVISORS
Auditor General Issues Circular
Letter Calling Attention to
the Taxation Law.

In view of the fact that the equali-
zation by the boards of county
supervisors is the basis of the en-
tire scheme OF taxation, and that
any errors on the part of the board
is likely to result in setting aside
the entire taxes in the county
affected, the auditor general has is
sued circular letter which he will
send to the clerks of the various
boards Of supervisors in the state
calling attention to certain pro-
visions of the law whicbe must be
observed.
This warning and advice is given at
this time in view of the fact that the
various boards are about to meet in
annual session, The auditor general
says that SO long as there exists a,
disposition on the part of many peo-
pie to avoid the payment of their pro-
portionate share of taxes iu support
of state, county and township insti-
tutions, the greatest care should be
exercised in laying the taxes so that
no pretext or error or technicality
may relieve them from the necessity
of payment. Those who pay their
taxes promptly, he says, are not
concerned with proceedings; those
who would escape taxation watch
every proceeding and take every
possible advantage of irregularities,
and by reason of defective proceed
ings secure the setting aside of taxes
laid upon their own property.
Particular attention is called to
the fact that the assessment rolls
are to be equalized upon the basis of
adding to or deducting from the
valuation of the real property, and
the records of the board should
show the assessed valuation of the
real estate, the assessed valuation
OF personal property, the amount
added to or deducted from the real
estate, the total assessed valuation,
the equalized valuation ofreal estate
and personal property of each town
ship or assessing district. Emphasis
is placed on the statement that the
power of equalization is confined to
the real estate, and whatever de-
ductions or additions are made must
be on account of the undervaluation
or generalization of the real
property. All records OF equaliza-
tion must show the assessed valua-
ton of the several townships and
the amount added to or deducted
therefrom. Otherwise they are
fatally defective, and void the entire
levy for the year. The require
ments that the board of supervisors
shall ascertain and determine the
amounts to be raised and apportion
the same among the townships, and
that their action shall be entered in
full upon the record is mandatory.
Attention is called to the law which
requires that every order, resolution
and determine of the board of super
visors, made in pursuance of the act
relative to their powers and, duties,
shall be recorded in the records of
the board and signed by tho chair
man and clerk of the board. This
requirement includes all the pro-
ceedings required by law to be en-
tered upon the records of the board.

RE7AuA7E ON GERMANY
OUR GOVERNMENT is GETTING
VERY BUSY.
Radical Action Necessary to Save
American Meat Trade From
I%rreparabIe Injury.

Washington, April "a retaliation
against Germany for her exclusion 'of
American meats has been seriously
considered by the president and his
cabinet. Secretary Of Agriculture viii
son believes that drastic steps must
be taken to prevent the German gov.
eminent from continuing Its policy OF
fcrbidding entry of American meats
ostensibly because they are unhealth.
full but really In order to meet the de-
mands Of the agrarian party. II the
United States fails to compel Ger
many to rescind this prohibition other
countries which receive American
meats may feel that there is reasona-
BILE ground for Germany's action and
adopt the same policy. Thus the
American meat trade Is in danger of
irreparable injury and Secretary VIII.
q believes 1t is high time for the
American government to protect 1t.
In anticipation of the discussion
which will shortly commence between
the two governments, Secretary Will
SON recently directed the chemist of
the department Of agriculture to ex-
anime German beers, wines and foods
imported into this contry. The re-
port of this official, which the secre-
tary read to the cabinet, shows that
the Germauny producers s preserva-
tives and a%dulterants as freely, at
least, as Is done in the United States.
The secretary stated that there is
ample ground for the prohibition by
this government of certain German
products and he was disposed to rec
ommend the adoption Of a policy OF
retaliation in case Germany did not
rescind the order prohibiting the i'm
portation Of American meats.
The president proposes that the
state department shall make
strong representations to Germany.
Secretary Hay Is prepared to act, but
in his preliminary note he will prob
ably do no more than make an indi-
rect ren,onstrance. The state depart
ment believes that it might be wise
to suggest the appointment Of a COM
mission, comprising German and
American chemists, to investigate the
whole subject of adulterants.

THE CHRISTMAS REPORT
HOUSE COMMITTEE lNVEsTIGAT.
ING BRIBERY CHARGE.
Abner Mckinley and Others Mention.
ed in the Document Will Appear
and Give Evidence.

Washington, April 1.-The commit
tee of seven, appointed under the reso-
luton presented by MI. Richardson.
the democratic floor leader Of the
house, met this morning to investigate
the charges made in the alleged Sc.
cret report to the Danish government
by Captain Walter Christmas, rela-
tive to bribery among congressman.
Neils Gron, who brought the alleged
translation Of the Christmas report to
Mr.. Richardson appeared as a wit
ness. He said that members Of the
upper house of the Danish parliament,
as well as men of large interests,
came to him in Copenhagen and read
to him the secret report.
Chairman Dalzell asked Gron where
they got the report. ."That is a secret.
l do not know who got 1t out of the
ministry" Gron explained that the
report, being official, set each
try in a bad light.
In Washington, General Grosvenor
was the first person shown the docu.
ment, after its translation in New
York. 1T was my intention" the wit
ness said, ito bring the matter be.
fore the administration SO the report
could be kept a secret and the appro-
priation of $4,000 stopped. Gros-
emo took the paper to Secretary
Hay, who sent word he could take
no action"
The secretary Of state having refus.
ed to- act and the administration hav.
ing refused to take up the matter,
Gron was compelled to give the story
to the newspapers, he explained. It
was not until March 21, that he called
on Mr.. Richardson, at his home, and,
in the presence Of Representative IN
derwood, explained his case. He ask
ed that the matter come before the
house, thus reaching the people, the
majority having refused to consider
1t.
Gron detailed his own connection
with Christmas, claiming there was a
contract between them as to the dt.
vision of the commission which might
be paid for the sale Of the islands.
He denied that the other charge made
by Christmas that he had offered
Christmas $25, 900 to leave the nego.
tiations In his hands.
In reply to specific questions he
said he knew Of no senator or repre-.
sentative who had been bribed Or
whom anyone had attempted to bride.
Chairman Dalzell announced that he
had summoned Abner Mckinley,
Messrs. Brown, Fisher and others and
that they would appear on Thursday.
