strange that National Committeeman

stantly at their elbow. The fact that
the ASSESSMENT of the property Of both
the CT. Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads was allowed to remain at the
same valuation as last year. when the
small holdings of the individual tax

Aleck and Jud were of valuable as
