TAX REDUCTIONS
DEFENDERS OF THE BOARD ARE
NONPLUSSED FOR REASONS.
They Will Discuss all Theories Of Taxation,
from Single Tax to Anarchy. but Refuse
to State a Reason for the Overthrow Of
Assessor Archer's Valuations.

AS usual all through this discussion,
the Bulletin is in error when it says this
paper became tired of the controversy
after reading the flood of language, and
drought Of ideas, in the article b. 0. C.
Fenlason. Personally it was tired of a
discussion where the opposition persist
emily ignored the point at issue, but, the
subject is not fad OF the HERALD, nor
can it be twisted into polit cal manoea
yer. The entire county is deeply inter-
ested in knowing whether the burdens Of
government are to be laid as fixed by
law (and with the right or wrong Of that
law this discussion has nothing to do) or
to be levied according to the whims Of a
board that may at any time be disposed
to favor its friends.
We have so often stated this contention
that it becomes wearisome, but will do
so again, in an effort to impress it plainly
upon the Defenders. The valuations up
on the property were fixed by the as
SCISSOR after a careful examin alton at
less ratio than that placed upon other
classes of property. He informed the
board that the data in those cases were
at its disposal should reduction be asked
for. The donation of about $1,000 was
made at the last hour of the session upon
request without the slightest effort to dis
cover whether the request contained
merit or not. The asses or was ignored,
and now when the public asks to know
the reasons that actuated the board they
are stood off with long talks about the
various forms OF taxation, and other ir-
relevant topics, or told, inierentially,
that it is none Of their business.
The following, from the last issue OF
the Vidette, gives the official record OF
the case:
The detail sheet OF the Northwestern
Lumber Company was filled out by John
F. Soule. to whom the deputy assessor
was referred by Mr.. Emerson. All the
valuations given were entered by Mr..
Soule just as published here. No MEM
Der OF the company appeared before the
board OF equalization, but a written re-
quest for reduction was made and the
board cut off 10000.
The valuations as sworn to by John F.
Soule, who gives in the assessment each
year, was as follows

A search of the records fails to show any
detail list showing personal taxes paid by
Mr.. Fenlason for years 1901 and 1902. He
is the same man who said to Deputy AS
SCISSOR Warren: 81 am willing to swear
to anything to escape paying taxes"

Careless Deer Hunters.

Although the deer season has only
been open since Wednesday morning,
still several cases of accidental shoot
ing have been reported, ana SO far one
death at Marquette has resulted. There
are more hunters in the woods this
year than tkera have been for years,
and it is not at all likely that tht num-
Der of fatalities will be decreased. 1t
may b of interest to deer hunters that
under the provisions of the new law the
killing of a man while hunting is held
to be manslaughter, punishable by inn
prisonment for noto exceeding ten
years or by fine not exceeding $1,000,
and prosecution is mandatory.

regard to the sale of game is plain and
this fall it will be impossible to pur-
chase venison unless it is done by
stealth.
The person fonrd guilty of selling
any part of any deer, buck, doe or fawn
for consumption 'shall be punished by
a fine OF not less than twenty-five dol
lars, or by imprisonment in the county
jail net less than 80 days nor more than
ninety days, or by both inc and inn

In past years most Of the deer killed
in the northern woods have been sold
TO dealers in the cities and during the
season venison could be purchased in
nearly every market at prices slightly
higher than other kinds of steak.
1t is also forbidden to sell other kinds
OF game andsthose who eat it this year
must either kill it themselves, or have
a friend who kills more than he can

When this river will have been depleted

In Newport more business houses and

PROPOSES NOVEL BONFIRE.
Harry Edward Freund Suggests
Burning Of 1000 Pianos.
Buffalo Express.

5uualo Express.
A bonfire of 1000 square pianos is proposed
-or grand feature OF the annual conven-
lion of the National Association of Piano
Dealers of America at Atlantic City in
May. 1t Will be recalled that last May the
plano men, manufacturers and dealers held
their conventions Jointly in Buffalo and
made merry and lived royalty while here
The joint conventions next MAY of the
manufacturers and dealers at Atlantic City
promise to be the greatest ever held by the
two associations. Hence the startling sug-
gestion for a bonfire on the beach with 1000
square pianos for fuel
The man who has made this proposal to
the members of the associations is Harry
Edward Freund, the well-known conductor
of the Musical Age and one of the most
prominent figures at the annual conven-
tons. In his proposal Mr.. Freund force
fully states some plain truths that are of
interest to users of pianos as we'll as to
dealers. 1t is certain that a lot of talk
will result from the suggestion.
Mr.. Freund's suggestion, which will be In
the hands OF every piano man between the
Atlantic and the Pacific this week. is as
follows:
The Musical Age has a very important
suggestion 10 make TO the members Of the
National Association of Piano Dealers of
America, and IL is one which we firmly be-
lieve will prove OF great benefit to the en-
tire trade.
We propose that as there are now over
400 members In the dealers association,
each member send, by freight prepaid, to
.ne AtiahuC lily CohNefltioh next May from
three TO five old squares. which now form
part OF his stock. The old squares are a
bugbear In the piano business, and are
used as. n means OF fooling both the piano
man and the plano purchaser. The de-
struction of 900 of these old boxes would
rid the trade of a considerable nuisance.
and would put the retailing of pianos on
more honest basis. When the average
piano man finds out that the prospective
purchaser has an old square TO offer in
exchange. which he values highly as a
family heirloom, he is compelled I'm justice
OF allowance. to raise the retail price
OF the new upright or grand accordingly.
