The new tax laws give the State Tax
Commissioner prerogatives embracing
great power and unprecedented au-
thority. He has with deliberation gone
about over the state bossing the tax
levying bodies restraining them in
their levies and generally causing them
to pile up deficits in their accounts
which will have to be met in the fu-
ture after the legal restraint dies by
limitation. He has also been arbitrarily
bossing the assessors in their work and
instructing them as to how they shall
set values and has even appealed to
the courts by mandamus proceeding S
to compel assessors to value property
as he dictated but we are glad to ssy
that he has been called to hault even
by that partisan tribunal the Supreme
Court Iof Appeals. When polltica
questions become too rotten for thai
august body to swallow matters are

The charge has been made by our
Republican friends that the present
court has been extravagant in the
management Of the fiscal affair of the
county but they take good care and
present no bill of particulars. Their
only excuse is that they want to get
control of the court. The present court
has shown itself capable of running
the county affair without the help OF
outsiders. There can be no cases point
ed out where parts of the court have
been paid more for bossing than their
appropriations amounted to.

HUNT SNAKES FOR SKINS.
Men in Upper Missouri Valley Gain a
Living by Capturing the Ven
omous Reptiles Alive

TrempIeau. Wis-Hunting rattle
snakes for their skins has furnished
a new and hazardous occupation for
many men who reside among the hills
and rocky BLUFFS of the Upper Missouri
valley. where the RATHER attains per
lection as to size and color. The
snake must be taken alive and de-
e~apitated before he has an opportuni-
Y to strike himself. for once the dead
ly poison is injected the skin loses
luster and value.
The price paid for perfect tanned
skins is about one dollar each, and
in addition the oil obtained from the
snake commands a high price from its
supposed value as a cure for rheu-
matism and kindred diseases Each
RATHER captured alive means about
$3.50 to the hunter.
Among the most successful hunters
is Alfred Johnson, OF this place, who
possesses many large and beautiful
skins. His latest capture was nearly
seven feet long and carried IS rattIes.
Mr.. Johnson has succeeded in domesti-
eating a large number of young rat
tiers. which allow him to handle them
as he will. n follow al his call like
