Bad Indeed.

Losing flesh is indeed bad sign

On Monday last county assessor j..
Marchant turned over to the board of
supervisors, the assessment roll for
the current year. We are indebted to
the assessor for the following state
ment of property totals for 1906.
Value of real estate other than
city and towns lots, 81, 7O7, 553.
Value of improvements thereon,
s943, 181.
Value of city and town lots S279, $40.
Value of improvements thereon,
s799. O93.
Deductions on account of mort
cages, deeds of trust, contracts or
other obligations by which a debt is
secured by lien on property, 1923, 966.
Amount of money and solvent
credits, s26,S7O
Total value of all property after
deductions, s5, 356, 800.
Taxes collected by the assessor,
1881, 1881.

get relief until the opposite end of
the problem is tackled, and tackled
in all seriousness = namely. reduc-
tion of the running expenses of the
government. That is the true and
practical reform. Stop the outflow,
by cutting off every form of extra
vagance, and so remodel the revenue
laws that the money derived from
public sources will flow into the
county treasury, and not into the
pockets of political hangeIs-on.

These figures are of course subject
to change by the county board of
equalization; although it is not pro-
bable that any material changes will
be made. The assessment of railroad
property Is yet to be added, which
will not he less than S120, 600. AS
they stand, it is gratifying to find
that every section of the county has
increased i'll taxable property, with
the exception of township three,
where apparently tremendous slump
has occurred, the loss being S184, 260,
or % per cent of total valuation.
This falling off, however, is merely
in figures, not IN actual value. 1t is
accounted tor by the fact that a
mortgage on some mining property in
that township was included in the
assessment at its full face value of
5000, 900. 1t was an unreal value, and
the obligation has since been can
celled, thereby reducing the assess
ment roll to that extent. The value
was never there, so that has been no
decline, but simply a return to
normal and actual, instead of fc-
titious values.
Making due allowance for this over
valuation, every township shows
gain. In most cases the increase is
small. The biggest increase is shown
in township one, which has added
1884, 260 to the figures of 1905. This
is good showing. Township four
makes gain of So, 2O2, notwithstand-
ing the depression in mining circles
incident to the shutdown of the
Wildman Mahoney for greater part
of the year. Township five rolls up
nearly $4,000 more than last year,
and township two trlfle over SO, ,000
While therefore the net gain, from
the figures presented is only S31, 228,
the gain in revenue will be on an
assessment roll of more than $500, OOO
in excess of last year, which means
about S4, 900 more than was collected
IN 1905 from direct property tax.

AFTER STATE FUNDS.

In the report of the board of super
visors published elsewhere, Will be
seen one items tending to explain the
reason of the high tax rate in this
county. The supervisors at the meet
ing this week were called upon to act
upon applications for the support OF
orphans and half orphans, under a
state law passed several years ago,
but not enforced in this county until
the last few years. The money
allowed for the support of these or
phan children, comes from the state
treasury, and this fact really con-
stitutes the weakness. The appIica-
tions are acted upon by the super
visors Of the respective counties, and
the allowances are paid out of the
county treasures, but the bills are
finally sent in to the state authorities,
and thereby the counties are reim-
bursed for the sums so paid out.
Under this insidious arrangement,
the argument is used with effect, in
considering the application for main
tenance. 'tlhe money does not come
from the people of Amador county
in particular, but from the state at
large. - And the managers of the
counties are lmbued in great
measure with the spirit that pervades
the ordinary state legislator, namely ::
'Get all you can out of the state
treasury for the benefit of your local
lty. 4" On this proposition hangs the
reputation of the representative. If
he gets his hands into the states
strong box very slightly-no matter
how conscientiously he is estimated
as poor stick. On the other hand, if
he dives deep into the state funds,
and has money galore scattered over
his district, he is all right-just the
kind of a man to send to the law
making body. tGet appropriations
is the popular cry; "don't haggle
about methods or actual needs get
money for your district. - So it is
more or less with subordinate bodies
clothed with the power to appropriate
money from the state treasury. They
do not pause to reflect, that with every
county in the state actuated by the
same spirit, the ultimate outcome is
precisely the same as if every county
was called upon to support It's own
orphans and halt orphans out of its
own treasury. Amador county at
its last meeting passed claims for this
purpose aggregating SITS per month
or S2136 per year. This money comes
from the taxpayers of this county
eventually. 1t may take round
about course, but all the same the
citizens of Amador have to foot the
bills eventually, and all other bills
based upon similar foolishly- framed
laws. We have to pay our proportion
for the support of these wards
throughout the state; and in the
final outcome, we have to pay fully
do mum, IL nOG moIe, IHdu IL we
stood upon our own bottom, and sup
ported these children by a direct
drain upon our local treasury. There
is this vital difference. # the super
visors we're passing such claims,
knowing them to be purely local
charge, they would be apt to look
hn Of
more thoroughly than they now do
under the existing system. There
would be no "doing politics." at the
expense of the state treasury about it.

1t is certainly hard to under

favors on a criminal whose
deed has made him the talk of
the country. In Omaha, Pat

to move on. Now Pat is going

We don't wish him any bad
luck, but wouldn't it be too bad
if the machine would go over a

Governor of Missouri Gives
Advice to Retail Merch-

Jefferson City, July 49,
(Bee) Governor Joseph w.
Folk, addressing the retail
merchants of Missouri at their
convention yesterday, spoke
against the mail order business
and favored advertising in the
town papers. He said in part:
eve are proud of our splen-
did cities and we want them to
increase in wealth and popula-
ton, and we also want our
country towns to grow. We
wish the city merchants to
build up, but we also desire the
country merchants to prosper.
[ do not believe in the mail
order citizen. If a place is
good enough for a man to live
IN and to make his money in, it
$ good enough for him to spend
lis money in.

Without advertising in one way
" another. Patronize your
