A Suggestion to Tax Payers.

The first day of June is the time
set by law for the assessor and. his
deputies to begin the tedious work
Of assessing all the property In the
county. When 1t is considered that
there are thirty five thousand people
In the county it will be seen that the
task Is no small one. Many Of these
people have to be sought many times
before they can be found. The asses.
or goes to a house in the country.
The wife has little or no idea Of the
personal property Of the husband. He
is at work in the fields half mile or
several miles away. If the assessor
follows him up and finds him driving
a binder, he grudges the time of the
Interruption as much as the assessor
does the walk. Why cannot every
man make out at leisure and leave at
his house q memorandum Of his
pr opertyp He has to take oath to it,
but he can do that at another time
or IL the assessor hunts him up in
the field at that time and finds him
busy, it will require but few seconds
to make the oath. II every body
would do this the aggregate saving Of
time to all concerned would bt
surprisingly large.
A great many reforms In the mat
ter Of assessment and taxation ought
to be inaugurated. The board o.
eq ualization has sternly resolved tt
follow the statute in the future, a!
it has not been doing in the past, BY
doubling the assessment Of thos'
who fall to give in their property, i
