THE COUNTY ASSESSOR.

The county auditors of the state, who
have had much experience along the
line of assessment and taxation, have
expressed themselves as in favor of a
change in the system of taxation and the
selection of Il county assessor. whose
duty it shall be to assess all property in
the county. Under the present system
there are d number of assessors, select
ed to assess property in the various
subdivisions of the county and the re-
suit is IA confusion of values and a
tumble of standards that comes before
city and county boards and finally the
state board of equalization to he har-
monizcd. Inequality of assessment is
one of the chief difficulties under u
present system and one from which
much injustice arises. Our assessors
are chosen not as men capable and eX-
perienced and qualified to Judge of
values, but largely to fill out the ticket
of a political party and with little re-
gard for real qualifications. There is no
place in the gift of the people that
should be held more important than
that Of assessor. Upon the figures of
valuation determined by him the tax list
of the county is made, and the sum of
taxes to be paid 10y each individual or
corporation. except public service cor
porations, is settled. The assessor
should be a mar familiar with values of
all classes Of property. He should be a
man of long experience in the property
values of the county in which he does
his work. He should be a mar who
will c~onscientiously endeavor to reach a
just valuation of all property that may
come within his jurisdiction. Too fire.
a~uently the position OF assessor is given
to some man who is lily qualified and
whose chief aim seems to be to see that
his district goes in at a lesser figure
than some other district. inequality
and injustice in taxation begins in in
justice and inequality in assessment,
The whole system of assessment needs
legislative attention and correction.

AMONG old residenters there appears
to be somewhat of a difference OF opinion
as to what, if any, of the winters of the
past compare with this regarding heavy
snowfall. Last Saturday one caller told
US that this was 1.-The worst winter since
the deep snow of 1861" A day pre-
vious an old friend who came up here
from the Valley in lS82-and that's a
quarter of "a century ago-drupped in
and volunteered the information "that
in all of those twenty-five years he had
never seen SC much snow lying on the
level as there is this winter and We are
inclined to think they are both right.

EXTREMES OF CLIMATE.

Forty below in New York state and
people freezing to death in Indian Ter
ritory are facts which suggest that eli
matte extremes are not confined to one
section of the country, the Minneapolis
Journal declares. While the snowfall
in the northern part of Minnesota and
throughout North Dakota has been
unusually heavy this year and has
produced temporary conditions of hard
ship and suffering in a restricted local
ity, other sections of the country have
suffered even worse disaster and worse
extremes of temperature. Along the
Ohio river great damage has been in
Hicted by high water and more serious
consequences are still feared. The
billiards. which have reached into the
far southwest have overtaken a popula-
ton unprepared for such extreme cold
accompanied by severe storms and great
suffering, attended in some cases by loss
OF life, Is reported. But these are by no
means new experiences. The extremes
of temperature, the extraordinary floods,
the unusual stress of weather passes,
normal conditions return and we usually
find that fear and anxiety have ex-
aggerated the situation and normal CON
dltions bring back confidence and good
cheer and contentment. The northwest,
like other sections of the country visited
by usual conditions, will come out with
out having suffered serious conse-
%'quences. On the contrary, in the north
west, it is expected that the unusual
fall of o. will produce the best pos
