THE county assessors Office will
be looked on hereafter in Audrain
as the most important Office in the
county. We all knew it before
if we would but think-but the
State meeting of assessors here
forced us to see it palmer than
ever. All the revenue of the
State and county is based upon
the work of the assessor. He
should be brOad-minded and fair,
with an iron nerve and a percep-
ton as clean as a trained detective,
aud then often enough the tax
dodger will dodge him. The as
SCISSOR is the biggest man in the
court house. Hats off to him!
