Color is lent to this belief by the
stories Of natives coming IN from the
east, who say they saw strong Japa-
nese forces massed north and south of
the eastern road between Yingpau and
Shungchanku. Other refugees report
that at least two regiments OF Japa-
nese dragons forded the Hun midway
between Pachiatsu and Yingpau four
days ago. The Japanese between the
road and the river had a large number
OF field guns and consisted OF several
brigades of infantry, with columns Of
cavalry. II is believed the force is the
easternmost OF Kuroki's three armies
which a fortnight ago moved from
Singpingfu TO Kao pass, with its left
resting on his central column. Kuro-

said to be marching on the Hun in line

1t is doubtful IL there has been any
law dealing with the subject OF taxa
ton that has given such eminent sat
isfaction as the revenue law OF New
York after just two years OF its opera
ton. It's principal claim to distinction
is that it requires assessors to list
land according to it's full value in the
market and separate from the listing
OF the improvements thereon. Further
more requires that these separate

now has of perpetuating itself in
American political life. In those states
where its organization had been al
lowed to languish, and where even this
year. by reason of unjust laws, 1T was
prevented from getting upon the bal

Examine tho Record


s. a rule readers OF The Independ-
ent accept as correct without verifi-
| y slrv:ss en- whatever figures may appear
in it regarding state niisssescRs and for
their own information, there is no OBJ
lection to this. In fact, The indie
pendent is pleased to know that it's
readers place SO much confidence in
it. 1t tries hard to avoid the very
slightest typographical error in quot
ing from the records, and it's calcu-
lations are stated in the nearest fig
ures possible without extending deci-
NAL to an unreasonable length, and
Unnecessary for practical purposes.
But The Independent is not an Off
cial document. 1t will not be accepted
as proof of anything by the average
partisan republican farmer. There are
thousands of such who will not read
a word in The Independent - who
would not let it come into their homes
under any circumstances.
So. in discussions with such parti-
sans, readers of The Independent
should be equipped with the official
public documents to back up what The
Independent says-to verify it's state
ments.
Write to the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, Lincoln, Nebraska, and ask
him TO mail you the following docu-
ments:
Auditors Statement for 1903. for
1897; and for the years 1899 and 1901,
also, if he can furnish them.
Auditors Biennial Report for 1902.
and for 1900, 1898, 1896 and years pre-
yious, if he can spare them.
