The Glen Flcra Star, aside from the

port of Supervisors Of Assessments

Of all the travesties on justice and
fair play that we have seen, heard or
read about, the work of Supervisor of
Assessments Frank Burgess is the limit.
To call the arbitrary valuations placed
by him on land in the various towns an
equalization is ridiculous, inexcusable
and unjust perversion Of the word that
would make Noah Webster turn in his
grave. With the work of previous sup
ervisors and county boards as guide,
and with the experience he is supposed
to have had examining land, it would
seem that he should be able to produce
what would be at least distant APP

an equalization of assessment.
Note few fragrant instances. Any
one familiar with the country will ad.
nit that there is little difference in the
average value of land in the towns OF
Grant, Grow, Dewey, True, Lawrence,
and Hawkins. Some of the soil in
Dewey may be poorer, but it has the
advantage of location, being near the
county seat, where the ex-bankers dis

TURNS STATES EVIDENCE.
George {. Lorenz Testifies in Posta
Fraud Case

Fraud Case.
Washington, June George E.
Lorenz OF Toledo, O., who was con-
victed with August w. Machen and
Samuel and Diller B. Croft on charges
of conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment in connection with contracts for
furnishing supplies for the postoffice
department, turned states evidence in
the trial of William G. Crawford, who
is charged with conspiracy. Macher
and Lorenz were indicted jointly with
Crawford. The former pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to an additional
two years in the penitentiary at
MOundsyille, w. Va, and Lorenz was
granted severance for trial. 1t is
generally credited that Lorenz is testi-
flying for the government under an
agreement that he shall not be prose-
cuted under indictments pending
against him. He had been sentenced
to two years at Moundsyille under con-
viction for conspiracy with Machen
and the Groffs.
