FIGHT ON TAGGART BEGINS.
Indiana Democrats Scrapping Over
State Chairmanslltp

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2.-Dem-
ocratic district conventions were held
today in the thirteen districts Of In
diana for the selection of new mem
bers of the state central committee,
who will meet next Wednesday and
reorganize by selecting a chairman
and secretary. Stokes Jackson of
Greenfield is one of the most promi-
nent aspirants to the craftsmanship,
although the opposition to the Tag
gart regime will support James Kir-
by Risk, while many OF the Taggart
men will use their influence to Sc
cure the selection OF Gilbert Hen
dren. 1t Is hoped that by the time the
committee meets spirit of harmony
will have been restored among the
democratic leaders OF the state and
that the bitter fight expected in the
election Of chairman will not ma
terialize. Indiana democrats are
hopeful Of victory in the coming
state and national elections. Already
number of candidates have been
spoken of for the governorship,
among the most promising Of whom
is Carroll H. Mccullough, wealthy
manufacturer of Anderson and a
member OF the state legislature. John
w. Kern, OF Indianapolis will not
again seek the nomination. Despite
stiff opposition In certain Influential
quarters, it is apparent that Bryan
is a favorite among Indiana demo-
Gratis and the Hoosier delegation to
the national convention will probab-
iy favor the Nebraskan

State Central Committee in Session
at Columbus

State Central Committee in Session
at Columbus.
Columbus, o., Jan. 2 In response
to the call issued by Chairman Brown
the republican state central commit
tee convened at the Neil house at 1
o'clock this afternoon. The members
will arrange for the state convention
and the meeting will mark the be-
ginning of the contest for the Ohio
delegation to the national conven-
ton. The selection of an early date
Is looked upon as victory for the
Taft forces, which are in control of
the central committee. That the COM
mittee will demand primaries for
state convention delegates, the issue
to BE the Endorsement of Secretary
Taft or Senator Foraker, is almost
assn ned Chairman Walter E. Brown
IS known to favor this method of
procedure, and the other members
will doubtless egfee with him. The
Foraker forces are opposed to con-
vention before March, and will fight
the plan to name an early February
date.

ASSESSMENT OF TAXES
New Law Requires that Property Be
Rendered at full Value.
70 the Taxpayers of Ellis County

To the Taxpayers of Ellis County:
For the year 1908 we are confron-
ted with new law relative to the as
sessment and value of property which
requires all property to be rendered
at it's full value, and also requires
you to be sworn to your assessment,
as to the quality, kind and complete
ness of the list. The law compels as
SCISSORS to furnish to the grand jury
list of all parties swearing falsely
to their assessment. | hope the tax
payers of Ellis county will give me
their best assistance in upholding
the law and let's make the taxes in
this county fall on all alike by hav-
ing all property uniform and equal
in value | wish further to state that
for the year 1908 our state and coun-
ty rate will be cut so that / am sure
the tax payers of this county will not
pay any more taxes than they have
been in the habit of paying-only in
the special school districts where
there is. a local tax, and ] would sug-
gest that the trustees of each dis
trict hold an election and vote off
part of the tax or they will create a
surplus in their fund.
Assessors are required to call but
yentory ready and this will avoid
leaving notice to call at office and
render your property.
JACK KILLEBREW,
Tax Assessor.
Relative to the above circular Of
Mr.. Killebrew, tax assessor, we de-
sire to add the further statement that
the commissioners court of Ellis
county has the authority and it be-
comes the duty Of said court to set
and in view of the law requiring all
property to be rendered at its reas-
enable cash market value, and in or
der that a strict compliance with this
law may work no hardship upon any
one, this court expects to reduce the
rate of taxation in proportion to a
general raise in the value Of proper
ty assessed. To illustrate: The value
of property in Ellis county as assess
ed last year was in round numbers
20 millions and the county rate was
4S cents on the 500 valuation. II
the value of property this year should
be assessed at so millions the rate
should be in the neighborhood of is
cents on the 500 valuation.
