Louisville Aug. 19.-Dreams OF wealth centred
in brass bound trunk containing $1.OO0000 in
counterfeit Mexican 1O0-peso notes were shat
tered for John G.. Roberts and Marion Roberts,
brothers. here to-day. when Deputy United

making of spurious currency.
John Roberts. sitting in the Office OF the Secret
Service Bureau here to-day. cooly said that he
would plead guilty at the October term OF the
federal court, and seemed resigned to spending
years IN the federal prison at Atlanta. He only
wanted to get rich. he said
1t was through Marion Roberts that the coun-
terfeiters were arrested and their plan to de-
fraud Mexicans of $1,000. 900 was exposed. Marion
Roberts some days ago offered Louisvills
broker high commissions to dispose OF some
Mexican money for him. The broker informed
the Chief of Police who at once enlisted Secret
Service men. and the trap to catch Marion Rob
erts was successfully sprung. Since Marion
Roberts's arrest. Monday. the police obtained
from him the information which led to the de-
scent upon his brother at Simpsonville to-day.
When John Roberts was confronted in the
hamlet in Shelby County the chief counterfeiter
admitted that he was behind the plan to dis
pose of the imitation 100-peso notes through tina
broker. He showed Blaydes the trunk which.
with Roberts. was brought TO Louisville to-day.
Roberts. who il in Jail in default OF $4,000
bonds said that had a perforating machine
and a device to number the bills reached him

could not be detected. He proposed, according
TO them TO counterfeit stock certificates of cor

JUMPING ASSESSMENTS.

Under the plea of securing uniformity in assessment
values the board of equalization is taking steps, backed
by special appropriation OF the legislature for that purpose
eadus the valuation of property throughout the state
The object said assessed valuation of about
sixty per the actual valuation all countes of the state
If this scheme carried there will be another arbitrary
property values in nearly every county The true
nwardnes of this proposition that the demand for
for purposes is increasing by leaps and bounds not
whsandng the liberal pruning of Legislative appropriations
by the governor. There two of meeting this in
of expense both of which and the same
thing the taxpayers One to raise the tax rate for state
purposes the other stuff the assessment valuations
under the cry that there much eeway between the
sssed and real value of property Naturally the state ad
insration shrink from the rst-uamed method would
with other administrations So the plan of swelling the
sessment roll the feasible way make the
meet the expenditures.
There may be another secondary motive in this plan.
Another constitutional amendment to be submitted to
the voters year, similar the voted down at the
last election 1t proposes state and county
taxation The scheme raise values will have
decided tendency drive voters to favor the proposed
amendment There be doubt, whichever method
finally prevails unless economical policy In running
expenses is adopted in AFFAIRS the result will be the
samehe extraction of money from the pockets of tax
payers the evergrowng expenses of government
The most desirable commission just now probe in
to the expenditures with the object of looping
off expenses wherever practicable. And that there exists
broad field in this direction there be little doubt.
