F,asT s1sp ro r.x REroRM.

BY far the most important office TO
be filled by the people Of every county
I'm Nebraska at the next general election
is the newly created position OF county
assessor. The success or failure Of the
movement for tax reform will depend
largely upon the selection Of the men
who are entrusted with the responsible
work OF revision of the tax lists Of
the sevetnl bdivisions-townshlps pre-
cincts and school districts--of the va
yious counties,
The legislature has very wisely limited
the official tenure of the tax assessors
to one term of four yenrs. The knowl-
edge that he cannot be his own sue
cCssor in the office will tend to stiffen
the backbone of the assessor to an i'm.
partial and fearless discharge Of duty,
however, dlsagrceable it may be, al.
ways providing that he is an honest
man. On the other hand, the one-tern
limitation may operate as an incentive
FOR partiality and favoritism on the part
OF venal assessors who have nothing
more 70 expect, or hope for politically.
The great body of Nebraska taxpayers
are vitality concerned in the enforcement
Of the new revenue law in all it's essential
features. It's chief aim is to distribute
the burden of taxation equally upon the
owners of all taxable property in con-
formity with the spirit and letter Of
the constitution What is most essen
tial is uniformity and impartlality in
the assessment of all classes Of prop
erty, but unless honest and efficient
county assessors are chosen this fall the
new revenue law will prove dead let
ter.
Unfortunately the distribution of
county Offices as party spolls has rem
dered political caucuses and conventions
reckless and Indifferent as to fitness
OF candidates for positions that demand
above all things moral courage and in
tegrity. In view of the fact that po-
litical nominating conventions have al
ready been called and are to be held
within the next sixty days, it is of the
utmost Importance that special atten-
tion be given to the nomination of suit
able men for the county assessorships,
and nominating conventions should bear
in mind that the individual interests of
taxpaying voters will outweigh at the
election the attachment to the party.

PEONAGE IN ALABAMA.

1t is gratifying to know that the De-
break up the system of peonage in Ala
bama, the recent exposure of which
caused general astonishment that prac-
teal slavery In its worst form exists in
that state. Several weeks ago the fed
eral grand jury at Montgomery found
an indictment against a white citizen,
charging him with having sold u negro
in a condition of peonage or involuntary
service. 1t appeared that the negro had
borrowed a dollar from a white man,
promising to pay 1t back the next day.
Failing to do so he was arrested, con-
victed and fined for obtaining money
under false pretenses. The man of
whom he borrowed the money sold him
for $25, the purchaser working him for
year and then selling him to another
party, who was working him when the
case was brought to the attention Of
the federal grand jury.
1t is said that many more negroes are
still in bondage in several of the coun-
ties of Alabama. Under a law Of that
state the magistrates fine negroes, have
someone pay their fine and work them,
all the time keeping a guard over them
during the day and locking them up at
night. 1t is said they are sometimes
brutally whipped, which is undoubtedly
true. Following the disclosure secret
service men were set to work investi-
eating and the assurance is given that
the federal authorities will spare no ef.
fort TO break up this unlawful and
abominable system. A large number OF
cases are now under investigation and
II is stated that in addition to the ar.
rests already made 1t is expected that
warrants will soon be issued for a still
larger number. 1t appears that the sys
tenn is not in operation to any consld
cradle extent near the cities and large
towns but in some of the more sparsely
settled sections 1t is quite common.
The efforts of the officials of the De
partment Of Justice to destroy this sys
tenn, which is a reproaeh to the coun
| try, will have the earnest support OF
everybody capable OF understanding iti
pernicious character. All who are par
ticipants In 1t should be punished to the
| full extent of the law. In abuse and
| injustice toward it's colored citizens
Alabama has an infamous distinction
