By the hundred pounds? Or is he
only in evidence when the sun has
warmed the earth and grass makes re-
clining under the shade trees possible,
watching for the native fisherman who
has invested his all in fishing imple-
ments before the law o'ta e itIbuy his
nets? 1t is not his fault that the law
was passed. Let each farmer who
feeds the game on his taxed property
preserve the game in season and out
of season, reap the benefit and thus
do away with salaried wardens.
Potosi b ,ving so large delegation

To The TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF
PLATTEVILLE.

Taxpayers who by mistake, mis-
understanding, or any other cause,
have neglected to give in to the as
SCISSOR all of their property liable to
assessment, are urged to do so before
the seventh of July next. Those who
fail to do so will be either called be-
fore the Board of Review Or will be
sued in the Circuit Court for the
penalty of $40 for every 500 for all
property withheld from assessment.
l have found more attempts to
evade taxation in the city of Platte
Vile than in any other assessment
district IN the county, and so far
have only found 1t necessary to bring
action for the collection OF the $40 for
every 500 penalty, against citizens
of this city.
The District Attorney has already
brought four such actions, and l hope
it will not be necessary to increase
this list in this city. 1t is impossible
for the assessor to personally visit all
of the deiinquents, and as your taxes
| will not be over one-tenth of the
penalty, it is much cheaper to settle
with the assessor than with the Court.
Generally in the county, the tax
payers have been willing to give in
their property for assessment, as the
law requires, and | am very much
pleased over the outcome. At the
same time must protect those who
honestly list their property for assess
ment by compelling the others to list
their property for taxation or pay the
penalty of $40 for every 500 on all
property withheld from the assessor.

''At all great meetings and conven-
