II. A. TAYLOR VISITS
NA- CAMP OF OWENS VALLEY

The number of new camps is in
creasing with such b~ewildering rapidity
that one can scarcely keep track of
them. H. G. Taylor, so well known here
in Goldfield, arrived in camp last Satur-
day after a visit to Owens Valley over
in California among the Sierras. Mr..
Taylo speaks very highly of the coun-
try about, which was worked to a con-
siderable extent some score or more
years ago. According to one informant
the ruins of several mills are still to be
seen in the district marking workings
which the limited facilities and high
cost of transportation which then pre-
vailed were perforce abandoned. The
country offers many advantages to the
prospector which particularly in the
summer season must appeal. The
Owens river running through the region
assures the water supply n affords
vegetation. The samples
brought by MI. Taylor from his bunch
of over twenty claims show average
values of about $25. Mr.. Taylor be-
lieves the place will make a camp.

Eat the recent meeting of assessors
the question arose as to whether rail-
way ties banked on the track for ship
ment are assessable or not. Super
visor of Assessments Frank Burgess
instructed the assessors that ties are
exempt from taxation and should not
be put on the list. What reasons the
worthy supervisor has for his position
in the matter we do not know. Ger
tainly it is a peculiar condition of
things if this class of property can
escape taxation. If a settler has a
few logs he must pay taxes on them,
but if he hews them on two sides and
sells them to foreign corporation they
are exempt from taxation!
GAS a matter of fact we believe
there is neither law logic nor sense in
the instruction given. All property
in the state is taxable unless exempted
by statute, and we request the super
visor to point out the clause exempting
railway ties if there is one. Ties
strewn along the track for purpose of
use in repairing are no doubt exempt,
as the track which they are to repair
is assessed by the state tax commission,
but ties which are to be shipped away
are as much taxable as any other kind
of property.

Assessor Dave Biller has assessed
the ties in this town, despite the in
struction of the supervisor, for which
he should receive the thanks Of tax
payers. In this connection we wish
to recall another case where Mr.. Biller
dlsregarded the instruction Of Super
visor Burgess, much to the benefit of
taxpayers. Last year Mr.. Burgess
maintained that the logs belonging to
the South Muscatine Lumber Co. were
not taxable, because Burgess SO held.
In violation of instructions these logs
were assessed, and paid some $4,000 in
taxes. 1t would have cost this town
$500 to follow Mr.. Burgess instruc-
tons. Rather expensive advice.
1--WE do not wish to be understood
as making any personal charge against
Mr.. Burgess. He probably acted on
advice in giving instructions. The
trouble is, he seems to get his advice
from the grafters. We understand
that Mr.. McGill advised last year that
the Muscatine logs were not assess
able.''
1t Is liberal to assume that the super
visor Of assessments intended to do
right. Most people would be inclined
to doubt the official integrity Of an

We have supervisor of assessments
in Rusk county-an officer who is sup
posed to be able to guide the various
assessors. The use of the word "sup-
posed" is here suggested by the rulings
of the supervisor of assessments.
There are questions continually com
ing before the assessors and sometimes
they show that the people of the coun-
ty have been losers in the past.
At the present time, the question
is: shall railroad ties be assessed along
with other property existing in Rusk
county? That would appear to be an
easy proposition. Ties are property
and all property is taxable except
where specifically relieved by statute.
1t ought not to be difficult to deter
mine whether or not railroad ties are
excluded from the tax rolls by specific
statutory enactment-if not, they are
certainly taxable.
The supervisor of assessments says
that railroad ties are not taxable. The
editor of the Glen Flora Star, himself
a lawyer possessed of the statutes and
the talent to read them, says that ties
are taxable-but we will let Brother
Maloney discuss the matter in his own
way. In the Star he says:
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1906-05-19

officer who is so manifestly sympathetic
toward corporations. The present
supervisor of assessments has worked
for a corporation so long that such
sympathy is natural.
But the interesting question is. Does
it pay the county? Are the people OF
Rusk county willing that any property
shall be unnecessarily excluded from
the tax rolls? The people of this coun-
ty have done their share toward MAX
ing the 500 railway rich. The divi-
dends of that company come in part
from our people. Does that company
want to avoid just taxation-or is the
conclusion that ties are not taxable
unmixed with the zeal of the local at
torney Of the railroad?
And this incident freshens the mem
DRY and causes it to run back to an
other incident when district attorney
and railway attorney, combined in the
same individual, went before a coro-
HcI 8 IuqlcSC cquippou Win carefully
worded verdict exonorating an interest
ed corporation from blame for a fatal
accident-in face of the fact that that
officer would have been the prosecuting
attorney in case of an adverse decision.
Sympathy is a prime commodity.
There are probably some handwriting
people among the settlers in Rusk coun-
ty who would not object to a little of it
at tax time.

COCROFT FOR CHAIRMAN
That Appears at the Present Time to
Be the Probable Re-

That Rusk county is getting down to
business on a business basis minus
graft and favoritism is apparent from
the present outlook.
The spring election appears to have
brought forth from the people class of
men who want good government. Al
most Immediately after election, the
members of the new county board began
to look over the field for a suitable
member to be placed in the chair-some-
one representing no special interest,
representing no clique-an -undoubted
anti-graft MANN brief a man whose
every effort would be in conservation
of the interests of the people of the
county. One member of the new coun-
ty board, who had not at that time de-
cided on man for chairman, remarked
that-"we want man for whom graft
will flee as a coward from battle"
Among the members considered was
Allen Cocroft of Weyereaeuser and from
the start he was acceptable. Everyone
recognized his ability. Everyone re-
cognized his integrity. Everyone rails
ed the single question: will he accept it?
Mr.. Cocroft had not been interviewed
and had not announced his candidacy.
An interview found him willing to
serve the county in such capacity as his
foliou Yoorhnrs desired
Such has been the call issued to Mr..
Cocroft, call of which any man should
be proud.
The county is to be congratulated up
on the new order of things which ap-
pears to be immediately forthcoming.
Ninety-nine and fraction per cent of
the people want cool economical gov
eminent. They don't want graft, they
don't favoritism. They don't want a
dominance of special interests. Just
plain, old-fashioned honest government.
And the present outlook is a certain
accomplishment of that desire.

Absence Of Reports Is Assigned of
Reason.
The council didn't hold it's adjourned

The meeting was for the purpose of
receiving reports from the city clerk
and treasurer which failed to material
ize.
Alderman Baker expresses the idea
that a monthly financial statement
should be made so that the council
may at all times know how the finances
of the city stand and be better able to
proceed with business in hand.
This is the practice in other cities
and certainly would be an advantage
here.
