Editor Morning Journal:
Regarding the valuation of property

Naturally the politicians who divide
the spoils and the officers who draw
exorbitant salaries are in favor not
only OF increase IN valuation, but also
of increase in the amount OF taxes.
The honorable district attorneys are
not representative taxpayers. But few
Of them are on the taxroll and the
aggregate of taxes paid by them Is IN
significant. They are beginning at the
wrong end of this question. The dis
trict attorney bill lobbied through the
late lamented legislature will make an
additional burden upon the territory
BY way OF additional fees and salaries
of from fifty to one hundred thousand
dollars annually. Why not begin by
looping off this graft. And the dis
