COUNTY ASSESSORS
ASK SOME CHANGE

At the late state meeting OF county
assessors a legislative committee was
appointed TO draft certain measures
which we're 70 be presented 10 the leg
islature TO have framed into law which
they believed 10 be beneficial. Asses
sor Wilson has just received circular
letter from the secretary which con-
tains their demands They seem so
fair and reasonable that the legislature
ought at once take them up for con
sideration. We herewith give part
Of their demands:
"F'irst, that 10 the interest OF eff
cheney and economy the clerical work
attending the county equalization and
the extension OF taxes upon the tax
rolls should be placed in the hands OF
the assessors.
Second, that the salaries now paid
the county assess ors are not common
surate with the grave duties and re
sponsibilities resting upon the Office,
and that they should receive salaries
at least equal TO those received by the
auditors.
"Third, whereas the wages now paid
field deputies are insufficient to induce
men capable OF correctly appraisng
property values, TO accept positions.
"Fourth, We recommend the enact
msnt Of law providing for an annual
convention of county assessors, and for
the payment of the expense Of attend
ing the same by their respective coun
ties.
Fifth, whereas the time Of making
the special tax levy for school districts,
under the present law, is the month Of
August, time when the directors have
no knowledge OF the assessed valuation
OF the district, and can therefore ar

was estimated that the fatalities would
not be more than two.
Cleveland probably made the best
record of any city of its size in the
country in the fight against the noise
and perils of the day. Though ten
persons were killed and siXty-two in
iured in 1908, the two-day festivity in
1909 was passed without a single
death or injury serious enough to re-
quire the attention of a physician.
This was due to the fact that the firing
and even the sale of fireworks or
fire-crackers was forbidden within the
city limits.
Milwaukee, another leader in the
sane Fourth movement, reported only
twenty-five persons injured in the two
days this year, as against one killed
and siXty-seven injured in 1908.
Washington escaped this year with
otu an accident, where fOrty-one per-
sons were seriously injured in the pre-
vious year Los Angeles and Provi-
dence, r. l., cut in half the list OF vic
tins of the day by the enforcement
of their laws.

CHICAGO, July 6.-More rigid laws
and the growth of public sentiment
for a sane celebration of the Fourth
have had their result all over the
country i'm reducing the number of
killed and wounded on the annual
holiday. Full returns from the two
day celebration this year show a fall
ing off of twelve from the record of
1905 Forty-four fatalities were re-
ported at 2 o'clock this morning as
against Sc at the same time last year.
A more careful enumeration of ac-
cindents caused an apparent increase
in the list of injured. Figures showed
2,461 injured as against 1894 in 1908.
There also was an increase in fire
losses caused by the celebration this
year, the total being 1924, 1855 as against
$257 $50 in 1908. The greater part OF
this increase in loss is accounted for
by single fire in Spokane. Wash.
which destroyed property to the value
of $35O,O0O.
Chicago and it's suburbs gave evil
dence of the progress which has been
made in stopping the slaughter in ce-
lebrating the nations freedom" The
statistics of twelve dead and one hun
dred and seventy-four injured last
! year was revolutionized. Only one
death has been reported. The tota
number of injured was less than fifty
Only half a dozen were serious. II

Keller and Krantz Meet In
Oakland Tonight

Fast fighting should be seen tonight
at the West Oakland clubs show. as
Matchmaker Simpson has engaged
many of the best local boys to clash
with eastern and northwestern boxers
who have shown speed in previous en-
counters. The main event will be fur
nished by Terry Keller of this city
and Kid Krantz of Seattle. The latter
is tough, willing fighter who is touted
as a wonder and II he takes the
measure OF Keller will be matched
with fighters scaling 142 pounds.

Young Peter jackson is anxious to
get a crack at AL kaufman before the
North End athletic club next month,
and Matchmaker John Desmond is will
ing to stage this match in the event
that Kaufman viii come through. Sam
Fitzpatrick. manager of the black man,
said last night that he would split the
purse any way TO suit Kaufman and
Billy Delaney.
This will be a good chance for Al if
he feels like lighting at the present
time. Young Peter, while not SO young
and should give the fans a lot of good
stun. Kaufman figures to beat Jack
son on form, and If he feels like cut
ting loose. he can pick up nice little
purse by saying the word.
Delaney informed Coffroth yesterday
that he was assured of match with
johnson within three weeks. Delaney
did not tell the promoter who was
going TO stage the fight or where 1t
would come off, but he added that he
felt certain everything was all right
and that he was waiting for telegram

Coffroth. however. does not look at It
in this favorable light He says that
Johnson will sail for England within
the next week to fulfill thea trical dates
there, and that there is no chance of
his lighting for two or three months
at least. Coffroth says that the offer
for kaufman and O'Brien still goes if
they want to make the match.
The frankie Neil Monte Attell match
for the afternoon of June 10 is almost
settled. Harry Foley informed Coff
roth last night that Attell would allow
Neil to come in at 116 pounds at 10
o'clock in the morning. or four hours
before the match. Neil wants three
hours. but II is likely that they will
have little difficulty in splitting the
difference.
If Neil comes out here he figures to
do lot of good for himself. In the
event that he either knocks Attell out
or wins a decision from him, he Will
have a splendid chance to get on with
the winner Of the Bennett -Rea gan mill
which the Mission club Will stake in
conjunction with the Sullivan Whitney
go. This would make a good attrae-
ton, too.
