mot changed
The counties just over the line in the
Fifth district, however, did not fare so
well with the board. Republic county,
Just east of Jewell, was increased $21S,-
443. 1t is only four7ffths as large as
Jewell county, and Jewell is fully as
good county, yet their assessed Valu-
ton as fixed by the state board is al
most the same washington county,
just east of Republic, but the same size
and about the same quality as Jewell,
is assessed at half a million more than
Jewell.
The Fifth district as whole was in
creased 81 655, 765. A single county,
Marshall, was increased $1,175,243, or
more than the total gross increase of
the Sixth district. The Sixth certainly
owes a good deal to Secretary Burrow

G. c. Clemens. who was nominated
for Justice of the supreme court by
the Socialists, has been notified by
cfalist party, to pay his campaign as
sessment, but so far he has not paid
and he does not seem likely to do So
In fact Mr.. Clemens does not know
officially that he is running for office.
He was not at the convention which
nominated him and no notification
committee has ever waited upon him.
Mr.. Clemens says he has heard that
Judge w. r. Smith is running against
him and he thinks Smith has put up
the job to make him pay a campaign
assessment.
