son last fall and held a meeting that
lasted a week or more, and which has
been at work since the legislature con-

house, and because of the radical
changes that are suggested and the
new features that are added to the
manner of the assessment of the prop
erty of the several counties of the
state, very great interest is felt in the
recommendations that are made.
After declaring that taxation shall
be equal and uniform throughout the
state, ssthe report declares there shall

ment commissioners to consist of
three members-the auditor, state

and extent of compliance with the laws
for the assessment of property, and
shall furnish said data and information
to the board. Said secretary shall re-
ceive salary of $4,000 per annum and

formance of his official duties.

WRITES FOR THINGS

II League and Bonds
for Roads.
Dear Sentinel:

Oedr OenCInel:
! Now that we have passed safely
through the throes of the election and
have expressed the choice of the nsa-
jority for our city Offices, it behooves
US all to stand by the chosen ones.
| Chose of us who voted the other way,
of course, but more especially thc-e
who voted and elected to see
there is 10 winking at things be
the curtain. 1t is presumed that r.
ly ali available men voted, at leS lhe
majority did, and if there is ,ody
e!uding their obligations to tbs dnici-
pality, or bootlegging, or g of the
forbidden things, some of - bound
to know of it. Then it is solemn.
moral duty of the one = knows to-
invoke the powers elected to suppress
ard bring to judgment the offenders.
We should insist upon the sewer
pipes and watermans, which have been
laid at great cost, being connected up
with property along their course, at
present not so supplied, that the bur-
den Of the city expense be even
" divided ard not left to be borne by a
few, while others escape And since
now the election is passed and we have
time to think a little of our progress
and study our advantages, let Us seize
the opportunity and proclaim them
abroad
We want a business league badly.
It is recognized and being discussed.
Let US do more than that Let Us act.
4 gentleman who has the city inter-
ests very much at heart said 70 me a
few weeks since, ''If you know where
We can get a good, live secretary, L
will guarantee that we will pay him
S1,500 year." and banker said, Il
will personally pay him three months
salary myself" Now where is that
man? Let us hunt him up and let him
get busy. When when we get him let's
give him an office worth while-n0t
some room upstairs, stuck away out of
sight, but downstairs place with the
proper files and fittings that he may
put his hand on any wanted reference
at once, and have his office one that
will impress homeseeker with the
idea that we value the league and our
community.
This business league could by little
effort get options on various trucking
lands and manufacturing sites, so that
when a prospective citizen wants to
know, he will not have to hunt mp indi-
vidual owners and have the price run
up 80 as to frighten him away, but the
secretary of the business league can
say to him, here or there is property
on which we have an option that may
be had now for such and such reason
able figure.
would be in favor of bonding for
roads if it took fifty years to work out;
and it would not be a hardship on the
inheritors of our debt because increased
business, manufactures and such would
justify it, and our posterity would rise
and up and call US blessed.

wake up" Is anybody stirring yet?

doing, what about it?

The fact that it will be necessary for

gives up his practice with regret and is
only impelled to do soIthat he may have
a wider field of usefulness, while he
may not be able to do as much for the

propagation .of the teachings of the
great order which has seen fit to send
him into the field, that he may be able
to minister to that part Of man which
lives beyond the grave.
DR.. Whitaker has just been elected
for the third time a member of the City

TaketEle Post-Office
Out Of Politics

In attempting to charge up the deficit in his
Department against the magazines the Postmaster
General has done the country genuine, even if an
unintentionaI, service. He has drawn attention to
the necessity for thorough reorganization of the
Postal Department. He has emphasized the i'm
portance of taking the Post-Ofice out Of politics
for all time.
The Fifty-ninth Congress authorized an inves-
tgation of postal affairs, and joint commission,
headed by Senator PenroSe and Representative
OverStreet, made a thorough investigation of the
whole subject AS result, the OverStreet bill,
which contains many excellent recommendations,
was presented. 1t is not from guesswork that we
have concluded that the Department is in need of
radical reorganization but from the official reports
of this Joint Congressional Postal Commission
and of the disntereSted accountants hired by it to
investigate the business methods of the Depart
ment. We quote from these reports, remember
