IMPERIAL UNIVERSITY
TROUBLES SETTLED

Toxic. Dec. 1.-THE differences which
and the government have apparently been
settled by the acceptance OF the resigna-
tion OF President Yuzrai Kubota by Pre-
mier Katsura who will now take up the
portfolio.
The designations rendered by other pro-
fessors have not been accepted The fact
that no disciplinary measures have been
taken against these professors is deemed
by those well informed an avowal OF
defeat upon the part OF the government
and the power or the cabinet is visibly
waning.
Eighty-two hundred Chinese students
incensed at the acceptance of the resigna-

THE COUNTY ASSESSMENT.

The recapitulation of the Nc
Cracker county assessment shows
that taxes are paid on only seventeen
diamonds in the entire county. II
this may be taken as a criterion for
determining the correctness of the
assessment, ii is no. wonder that tax
es are high in the county, and the
people are always complaining of
poor returns. 1t is estimated that
there are at least two thousand dia-
monds owned in Paducah. One jew
eier states that this is not near as
many as are really owned here, and
il does not include any of the small
cheap stones.
The several jewellers here in the
course of a year do tens of thous-
ands of dollars worth of business in
diamonds alone, most of Il with cit
liens of Paducah. Whey do all these
diamonds go that the assessor can
not find them? 1t may not be the
fault of the assessor, but that of the
owner who fails to list his jewelry,
but many owners of diamonds are
alleged to declare that they have
never even seen the assessor, and
have never been asked for a list. II
seems II is the custom to pay no at
tention to anyone except real estate
owners, as the assessor can thus fin
ish his work sooner, and with less
exertion.
Until the people of McCracken
county, however. pay more attention
TO the selection of an assessor, and
to seeing that he performs his du-
ties, just so long will the people who
pay any taxes at all have to pay ex-
orbitant and unreasonable taxes,
while many will escape entirely.
The secret Of a fair and equitable
government is correct assessment.
Put a capable man in as assessor,
pay him enough to Justify him in
taking the job, and the total yalua-
tlon and assessment in McCrackt n
county will increase with amazing
and gratifying rapidly,

II Paducah had any kind of mu-
nicipal administration the merchants
would not have to meet as private
citizens and arrange to have the
streets in the business section sprink-
led in summertime. With over
100000 collected for taxes every
year, 1t would seem that the city
could spare enough to give the pub
lie the comforts of sprinkled streets
in the business part of town, and the
merchants the advantage of having
their stocks free from dust. The
money is spent for other things. how
ever. including gravel that soon be-
comes menace to these merchants

and although the city has a sweeper

always either coated with mud or
covered with, dust. and when they are
swept the city seldom takes the
trouble to first sprinkle them to lay
the dust. IL less of the public funds
went for salaries for the faithful,

money in the safe of the other bank
at Benton.
1t is reported that Pinkerton men

robbers who are identified by descrip-
ton as noted safe blowers. but Il is
likely the thieves will never be cap
tured. The general opinion is that
they put many hundred miles be-

the robbery was discovered. 1t Is

The probability is that the demo-
cratic nominee for representative
from McCracken county will be de-
feated, whoever he is. All three of
them are for 10 Blackburn. A ma
jority of the democrats in the county
may be for Blackburn. but a large
number OF them are so much against
him that they will never vote for a
man who says he is going to vote for
Blackburn. Blackburn may be a
good, able man, but he has never
done anything except draw his sala-
~, and no one can show anything of
benefit to the public that he has ever
done. The state democratic machine
Is against Blackburn. This same
machine drove Hon. John X. Hen
