Rev. Roy Allison Married.

Rev. Roy Melvin Allison, of
Bucklin, Kansas and Miss Edith
Early Of near Ford City were
married at the residence of the
bride, on June Is, the officiating
clergyman being the Rev. c. E.
Williams of the Methodist church
at Bucklin.
Mr., Allison was for time pas
tor of the First Presbyterian
Church of this place, going from
here to the work at Bucklin,
which he had done much to build
up while living at Meade. The
people of Bucklih gave recep-
ton for the newly welded couple
on the Saturday evening follow
ing the wedding, at which there
were nearly all the citizens of the
place. On the Monday evening
following the town turned out to
an old fashioned charivari which
was planned and carried out as a
surprise party in honor of the
homecoming of the bride. Mr..
Allison is a young man in the
ministry and his marriage set
tlement at Bucklin should. and
likely will, result in the better
ment of the work there. The
churches under his charge are
to be congratulated on the use
fulness which a matron in the
manse will give to the labors of
the pastor.
The congregation and many
friends of Mr.. Allison at Meade
unite in congratulations to Mr..
and Mrs. Allison.

been in the county since 1886
and Mrs Wilson as long or long,

of them knew as every person
who has been here that long

the valley and on the flats. Then
after all that wrangling the val
ues were placed as above stated.
The final decision was made over
Mr.. Joblings protest. There is
on file bill for auto service on
the trip to look at valley land,
bill for $1,000. This as before
remarked is without authority
and needless. The law provides
who shall value land on seeing it,
and pays each one for the service.
The county board of equalization
shall meet on the first Monday
of June-being June 9th, this
year-and may adjourn from
time to time for such purpose
not beyond ten davs from the
first day of the session. The
board was in session in this
county until the Goth of June
but we understand that the
board was in session for II days
for equalization purposes, two
days beyond the time allowed by
law. We believe that our coun-
ty commissioners should give
the county eight hours a day
when in session and that the
business of the county should be
in a business like
manner-cut out lot of talk.
After the county clerk has finish
ed his work we shall give you
such further information as NAV
be of interest to the general
Dublic.

The Ladies Committee Celebrate

On Wednesday of last week
the ladies' of the various com nit
tees who have secured the funds
for the erection of the fine band
stand which was then finished,
met with their husbands at the
residence of A. II. Bodle Jr., to
jubilate on their success. The
affair partook somewhat OF the
nature of basket picnic, in that
each one of the ladies carried
with them basket of good
things to eat. About O'Clock a
dinner was served and general
social time enjoyed. Later ice
cream and cake were served.
The hours passed swiftly with
entertaining conversation; being
each one imbued with great love
OF Meade and a desire that the
town should have all good things,
the conversation drifted around
to the topic of civic Improvement.
and the best means to attain the
most satisfactory results in city
improvement. While on that
theme the matter ofpublic drink
ing fountains came in for discus
sion, and strong sentiment
developed in favor of building at
least two fountains on he
streets. Also the matter of
forming permanent civic league
was to some extent considered.
All too soon the hour for de-
parture came and bidding their
hosts good-by the guests depart
ed for their homes.

The Assessment.

equalized by the board, for the
reason that the county clerk has
not yet had time to carry out the
figures and estimate averages.
There are, however, some
things as we'll to look. at now as
later.
The board in this county as in
many others, wrestled a long
time with the problem, with the
same result that others arrived
at. That is they satisfied neith-
er themselves or anyone else,
The cause for this seemed to
the writer to be first, that the
actual cash value section of the
present law staggered them
when the values were recorded.
Generally the assessors seem
to have followed the law closely,
and in the main used good judg-
ment as to values. Then the
township board of review came
in and without viewing the land
of each party who has been as
sessed, undertook to arbitrarial-
lv change values with such
knowledge as they happened to
have of the property. The re-
suit of this work was to mix
things up from start to finish.
The county board again review
ing the work brought it back
nearly to the values placed by
the assessors. The work done
by the township boards of re-
view have hindered rather than
help to get true cash value
placed on the land. These was
one inequality in this county,
which has been going on for
years, which the county board
tried to remedy and did make
some improvement on. That is
the value of land in Crooked
Greek valley. Heretofore, it has
never been placed at an equal
comparative value for taxation
with other land in the county,
nor at its true value. While
some improvement has been
made this year it is not yet as
sesssed at anything like true
valuation, nor an equal compara-
tive valuation with other land.
The highest value on the best
alfalfa land in the valley is S54
per acre. That except some
near Meade which was valued
higher by reason of its location
near Meade. To assess land
which will sell for from $40 to
500 per acre or more at S34 per
acre is not assessing it at its
cash value. Neither is assess
ing land out on the flats which
sells for from $40 to S35 per acre
at SIS per acre placing "A true
cash value on 1t, nor is the COM
parative values of the two sec
tions of the county just. If the
two sections had been Justly
valued there would have been
less reason to complain. 1t is
a we'll known fact that it takes
three acres or more out on the
flats to buy one in the valley. 1t
follows that assessing the valley
land at double (Which is not as a
whole the value placed on the
high land, is not dividing the
burdens of government fairly.
Mr.. Paul wished to value the val
ley land at it's cash value, as well
as the high land, Mr.. Jobling
combatted this saying that the
valley land should be lowered, as
it was returned by the assessors
comparatively too high. Mr..
Wilson was thus left with the de-
Gliding vote. This he hesitated
to give and the case was argued
at length. Finally an auto was
summoned from Fowler and the
board took a drive up the valley
to learn what they could of the
values of land up there.
