WORK OF EXAMINERS
Nw. GORMAN REVIEWS SERVICE
 DURING THE YEAR.
He Shows Raises in Tax Assessments Imuroyements in Bookkeeping
 Methods-yaiue to the State

John T.. German of Opelika, State Examiner of Public Accounts. who was in Montgomery yesterday on public business submitted to an interview with a representative of The Adver- fieer in which he reviewed generally the work done by himself and assist ants this past year under the direc- tion of Governor Jelks.
 The system of examining the DOCKS of officers of the counties and State in situations has saved the State large sums of money and rectified the lists of errors, clerical and otherwise. that prevailed before the Examiners law was passed few years ago. Not the least important feature of the system is the constant criticism of assess ments of property for taxation in the various counties.
 Examiner German says that Cover m~r Jelks has insisted on these criti- ciprsaa because they are bound to fnfiu- ance the assessors to raise the valua- Hons to something like what they ahould be. The fruits of such criti- cisus have been borne during the year just closing.
 The assessments for the State during 1900, according to MT. German, were s2Bs, ,sss.2sS. and in 1905 they were about s340, ,o00. .000. showing an increase Of about $7s,000,0 900 in the intervening five years. Mir. German estimates that

under the Governors instructions

Under the Governors instructions, of attention to the assessment of taxes. One of the Governors first of ficial acts was to instruct the exami- ners to urge all tax officials to do all in their power to obtain fair and just
 valuations of property for taxation, to make comparative statements of the assessments for the previous five years. to ascertain as near as possible the actual value of the property. as com pared with its taxable value. and to criticize all assessors who were not complying with the law In the assess ment of taxes.
 "An examination of the assessments
 during Governor Jelkss administra- tion will show that his instructions have been largely instrumental in fn- , creasing the assessments.
 "The Assessments In 1900 were $266.- l ss3.2sS. In iao5 they will be about $34e, ,o00, 900, an increase of about $73,- 900, ,00e in the past five years. While property Is increasing in value. as a rule it is given in for taxa 1 tion at only about 50 per cent of It's actual or market value. To represent something like the actual value. the | assessments should be $e50.o0o, 900 | What a magnificent advertisement this l would be for our State, and what an ! inducement for good immigrants to | settle in 1t!
 l Taxes would not be increased. fol
 an assessment of property at its actual value would justify reduction of the present rate of taxation about one- l half"
 1 Mir. German said that from personal observations, every section of the State
 is improving and developing. The I population is increasing and the prop | erty is appreciating in value.

if the aggregate property of the State liable to taxation was given in to rep resent something like the actual value" the assessments should be S65o ,o0o, ,00o.
 Tt is a pleasure to state" said Mir. German, that there is a decided inn provement in the public service of the County officials are honest and compe- tent, and. as a rule, aHe discharging their duties in accordance with law. "The books are generally correctly kept, and most of the errors made, are of clerical and technical character.
 Governor Jelks was decidedly of the opinion that most of the officials were honest and competent men. and was satisfied that annual examinations of their books and accounts would not only improve the public service, but would have a tendency to eliminate even clerical and technical errors. For these reasons, soon after he assumed , charge of the gubernatorial ofice, he instructed the examiners that they must examine the books Of every County officer, who had transactions with the State. annually. including County Superintendents of Education. who previous to that time had not been examined, and who have the disburse- ment of hundreds of thousands of dol- lars of the States money annually.
 All of these examinations are now made annually, and the result fully justifies the Governors opinion as to the Improvement of the public service, and as to the honesty and capacity of the officials Very few errors are now discovered. even of a clerical charac- ter The Governor is delighted to re- ceive reports that the officials are keeping their books correctly. and are discharging their duties in accordance with the law.

 Auburn, Sept. 30,-(Special )-The first of the series of lectures given at the college was delivered last night by Dr. K. M. Wilcox. Professor of Botany, in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. His subject was a scientific one, The Mosquito and Diseases" but it was treated in a popular way and was eF< joyed by ap appreciative audience. The next lecture of the series will be given by Prof. John B. DeMotte. October 6, his subject being, "The Harp of the Senses; or Secret of Character Build ing"
 It Is with great regret that the peo- pie of Auburn note the defeat of local taxation for schools in Lee County, one of the five counties in the State voting against it. The people of this community desire 1t to be known that the measure carried here with only one dissesting vote in the community. the total vote, including town and country, being 93 for and II against the measure. There were only 1S7 ad- verse votes in the county outside of Opelika and Phenix City, the chief op- position in the county being in these two centers, the county site and the factory town. The people of Auburn regret that concert of action in Lee County seems an impossibility, even in popular education.

 l Most of the cooperative work or the Forest Service with owners of large

 | The forest consists of cut-over lands, l with a good growth of such trees as | oak, hickory, and chestnut and hem | lock and pine in mixture. The study, on which a party of men from the For

 "Rosh Hashanah," the Jewish New Year. one of the most important or the Jewish holidays was celebrated htttng- ly yesterday mor,Sng at s:S0 o'clock at Temple Beth-Or, when Rabbi . A. J.
 Messing. Jr.. preached on the subject Remember"
 Despite the rainstorm throughout the day. the services were almost uni versally attended by the Hebrew ctti- zens of Montgomery. Practically all of the business houses in which Jews l are interested were closed until 6:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after the services. the members of Kahl
 Montgomery devoted the day to social intercourse. r''~ Attthe service yesterday morning at | s:30 o'clock, Dr. Messing delivered | sermon on the theme Remember He chose as his text the quaint ceremo- | nial of Blowing the Rams Horn which is observed on this holiday in
 every Jewish house of worship in the world.
 | The meaning of the trumpet call. he said, was summed up in the word re | member" As Philip of Macedon em- l ployed a soldier to remind him each | morning as he went forth. Philip. thou art mortal" so the trumpet note was
 intended to remind the indifferent and the SlOthrul or tOu CONchahs DoW across the skies.
 The Rabbi applied the theme to three spheres of duty, the home. the world, and God. In referring to the home he
 rebuked the forgetfulness that Is man. l fest in those little unremembersd acts of kindness and of love. He said the motto of the world Is dollars and
 dimes, dollars and dimes. An empty pocket Is tee worst of crimes" In the l tumult and noise of modern life, we are apt to forget the. eternal vereties. | In closing the Rabbi made a passion ate appeal for a better remembrance
 of religion. When one remembers" | he said, how Israel has suffered-the great misunderstood of history-and how his heresy was chastized by in- quisitor and mountebank and how he still remained imperturbable. sublime | ly protestant through all the splendid l shows of Christendom and has lived to see his own mission of life accepted by the world, then behind the comedy of
 existence Is seen the hand of the Great Author"
 The music of the day as intoned by | choir under the direction of Eugene l Merriam was particularly solemn and impressive. Miss Millspaugh, the new | soprano and Mrs. John O'Brien and Miss Kate Booth did some very note l worthy solo work.
