For Lower Taxes

The most iuterestIug-many people will say the most mlortant-featuTe of the grand juIy's report k the sugges- tions on the subject Oi taxation in this county, says the San Diego Union. It has done we'll to 70 into that matter. The taxes are altogether too high, IL I- generally conceded. IL is also Tecog nized that IL is th. entire county, and not merely the owners of taxable prop erty, that thus suffers drtrimcnt. \ high tax rat.. is always q rrp"lling force to investors and settlers. IL may often turn the scale a. between two localities in favor uf tite one which is less favored iu some respects. but which imposes lighter burdens on the property owners
 The grsn,i jury appears to have gone to the very core of the matter. It finds that if substantial reduction in taxes is to be ,ffected, there must be sweep ing rrtrenchmvnt. Its suggestion as to salary system for certain officials, instead cf the present per.diem com pensaiion, is very much to the point. But the grand jury makes 1t plain that if TetTenchuIcut such as II proposes, is tO b,. effected, there must be legislation This brings thr entire subject to the San Diego county delegation to tae legislature, and it is tO be hoped that the members will give the subject their best thought. Any changes which they can effect in present laws. to enable this county to retrrnch in expenditure and thus lower the tax rate, will meet general approval.

ATTORNEY NEWTON LOST
FINGER WHILE HUNTING

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 16.-Attorney
George w. Newton went deer hunting
yesterday on the river bottoms south OF
town and had disagreeable experience
that will probably put an end to his de-
sire to hunt this season. While waiting
.at the edge of the brush with a shotgun
loaded with bucksfot for some deer to
make its appearance, he put the rnuzzle
of his gun down on a chip to rest for
"a minute. When he lifted the gun up
again, he put the forefnger of his left
hand into the muzzle Of the gun to be
sure no sand had gotten into it. In
some unexplainable way the weapon was
discharged at the same time, and the
first joint Of his left forefnger was
blown off in the discharge of the gun.
There were several other members Of
the party who heard the report, and
they came to Mr.. Newton's assistance.
He was brought to town and the finger
amputated and dressed. The injury is
quite painful, but fortunately is not as
serious as it might have been.

will attempt the feat early in the spring.
Inventor Baldwin will join Knaben-

ships like the Arrow, with some inn
provements.
Paul Knabenshu, who made trip in
St. Louis with an operator for the De-

was demonstrated by this trip that a
