Revision Of Tax Laws.

The most superficial reading of the
reports OF the valuations of the various
counties of the state as shown by the
assessors returns to the state auditor,
ought to convince any one that the ne
cessity for thorough and complete re-
vision of the assessment laws of this
state is o burning issue.
At each session of the legislature
there is q constant agitation for com
mission to revise and codify the laws of
the state, and twice now within recent
years the legislature has made provision
for this expensive work, which is large.
~ beneficial TO the attorneys only of the
state
At each legislative session there is
agitation over the assessment laws of
the state and the various weak points
are indicated and specious pleas are
made TO have them remedied, but, al
though this work would be one directly
affecting every property owner of the
state, nothing is ever accomplished ex-
cept, If possible, to make the laws
worse than they We're before.
IN view of the deplorable and chaotic
condition of the assessment laws of
this state. it might be we'll for the legis
lature TO provide for the appointment
of suitable commission with power to
provide sensible and suitable system
to apply to this state.
In making this suggestion the Capital
News is aware OF the general objection
to the creation of commissions. y
There is great tendency to provide for
commissions for this and commissions
fer that and commissions for the other
thing. mainly for the purpsse of provid-
ing some politician with soft snnp,
until people have become tired of com
missions Bnt there il real necessity
for this one and real opportunity foi
good to come TO the state by the ap
pointment of the proper person or per
sons who are capable of revising the
laws on the subject.
It is not unlikely that any scheme
presented would involve the amendment
of the state constitution, as. for ex.
ample, in the matter of permitting
assessors TO have assistance at the ex.
pense of the counties.
But if the constitution has to be
amended before relief can come, 1t il
high time that proper steps were being
taken, because at best several years
would have to elapse before this could
be done. To any one knowing thai
work that is required in properly as
sessing the property of some of the
large counties of the state. is appears
the height of absurdity TO require as.
SCISSORS to employ assistance ont of their
own salaries. Men will have. to be
made ont of sterner stuff. than the mai
GRITTY Of rs IL they viii spend their sal
aries on assistants and donate their own

The President Kills Q Bear.
The suspense of the nation is at an
end. President Roosevelt has killed
a bear. The Louisiana hunt will not
go down in history as failure. Again
Roosevelt luck has snatched victory
from defeat. Every American except
DR.. Long will rejoice with the mighty
hunter from the White House that
the quarry has at last been brought
to earth. Had the expedition ended
without bear bloodshed disappoint-
ment would have been almost univer-
sal.
Since the President started down
the Mississippi to penetrate the jun
giles in the vicinity~of Stamboul thou
sands and tens of thousands of pale
faced, desk-emaciated but sport-lov-
ing Americans have followed his
movements as outlined in the dis
patches and felt something of the
zest Of the hunt. We were informed
the other day that two rattlesnakes
had been killed and skinned. There
was but little comfort In the report.
1t looked as if the correspondents
were endeavoring to make the best
possible showing for the President,
but had little material upon which to
work. Again we learned that two
bobcats had been seen by the Presi-
dents party, but they got to cover
and were lost. At several points bear
tracks were seen, but any weu-wish-
ing correspondent might imagine
few bear tracks. The following days
news told of the President having
braved the rigors of frosty morning
to swim 400 yards in Bear Lake. It
looked suspicious. There was some
thing more than a faint suggestion
that he realized that interest in the
hunt was waning, and that it was nee
essary to do stunt of some sort if
no trace of the game could be found.
In another dispatch it was stated
that the President had brought down
fine buck. That was merely taking
pie when a requisition for pudding
was not honored. The hunt was. not
organized to bag bucks, but bears.
But just when it seemed all too prob
able that two rattlesnakes in the
hand and two bobcats in the bush
were to constitute the net results Of
the hunt an absent-minded bear saun-
tered within range of the Presidents IS
shooting irons and bit the dust in sew
eral places. A sigh of relief goes
up from some 85,OO0,OOO patriotic
throats. Perhaps We ought to be
horri6ed at the spectacle Of the first
citizen of the Republic slaking his
thirst for gore in bear blood, but we
aren't. Since this hunt was under
taken at considerable expense, and
given considerable publicity, COM
plete failure would have reflected

John D., Jr., Tells a joke.

The Bible class. formerly led by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., held the first
of the monthly dinners planned for
the season, last night, in the lecture
room of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, on Forty-sixth street. Each
member paid so cents, and young Mr..
Rockefeller, who was present, cheer
fully contributed that sum. The
ffty-cent dinner was his original idea.
Following the dinner the entire time
was taken up with the discussion of
project proposed by the pastor, the
Rev. G. +. Aked. He wished the
young men to help him organize lit
erary and debating society. A re-
mark Of one of those who entered into
the discussion led Mr.. Rockefeller to
tell a story.
"My father" said he, "tells many
stories, and some of them are new
ones. The other day he told me one
about a man who had been imbibing
too freely and who, when he came to
a watering trough, fell headlong into
it. A policeman came along-and pull
ed him out. I'm all right, officer,
sputtered the man, but see if you
can It save the women and children. "
Mr.. Rockefeller sat down amid
much laughter. 1t is said to have been
the only occasion that he has men
toned his father to the class. 1t was
decided to hold a meeting in three
weeks, to organize the debating So
ciety.
Populists Fire First Gun of 1908.
The following is taken from the
Chicago Inter Ocean of last Sunday:
James III. Ferriss, chairman of the
Populist national committee, came to
Chicago yesterday to deny the gossip
that the Populists are planning to
urge either support to President
Roosevelt for third term or the NOM
ination of William Jennings Bryan
by the Democrats.
Mr.. Ferris said that while the rank
and file of the Pops greatly admired
President Roosevelt, and felt that in
many ways he was one Of them, it was
his belief that the party would stand
out squarely for real Populist next
year.
Mr.. Ferriss will send out call this
week to Populist leaders to convene
probably in st. Louis, early in No
vember.
At this conference it is planned to
discuss the probable course the party
should pursue in the presidential
campaign next year.
Mr.. Ferriss' belief is that while
most of the things the Populists stood
for in their platform of 1904 have
been put into operation by the pres
ent administration at Washington,
there is yet the money question, gov
ernment ownership, and the initiative
and referendum to be made much Of.
Populist Happy Man.
"The Populist is very happy man
these days." said Mr.. Ferriss. "We
