longer than two years, that II should
remain In force, would ultimately turn
over to that administrative body the
function OF initiating the rates of the

ed upon. an official body on which was
imposed the responsibility to act

rate until final determination OF the
complaint.

service on July II, 1903. as a result
of his indulgence. In liquor and that
he was returned to the service by the
act OF March 2, 1905.

fer on him the benefits to which he
would have been entitled before his
misconduct. The bill, 1t is urged.

ASSESSORS OF LOUISIANA.

The Picayune's Baton Rouge CORE
spondent says: The assessors of Louis
lana will during the present or next
week submit to the police juries, sitting
as boards of review, their assessments
for 1909, as made UP on the assessment
blanks. The police juries will review
these assessments and receive complaint
from any person who thinks that the
assessor has placed too high valuation
on the property. A reduction can be
made in the. valuation by the police Jury,
provided the assessor does not object
The work of the assessors this year will
be watched with more than ordinary in
terest because of the fact that the State
is for the first time trying the elective
assessor system. The assessors who
have served up to this year have been
appointed by the Governor and were re-
sponsible to him for their work. The
General Assembly of 1906 made the of
nee an elective one, and all of the as
SCISSORS now serving were chosen at the
polls There has been general predic-
ton that as a result Of the elective sys-
TEN the assessments this year will not
show the increase that has been shown
III the past, when the assessors hold
upon his Office did not depend upon the
votes of the people whose property he
was called upon to assess. Whether
there will not be this increase is a mat
ter that can not be determined until the
assessments are all in, which will be
some time in the fall. The assessors,
after the approval Of their work by the
boards Of review, will make up an alb
stract Of their assessments for the State
Board of Equalization. These abstracts
will have to be in by the middle of July
when the board will meet in Baton
Rouge to begin its annual equalization
Of assessments.
