r. FisCHER's FAILURE
MAKE GOOD

AZ was stated in the Tribune at
the time the investigation into the
affairs OF County Assessor A. G.
Fischer was started. 1t would have
been far better had that gentleman
refused to attempt to slide from
under his negligence Of Office by
newspaper support. before having
confronted the state board of eQuali-
sation.
Mr.. Fischer has been ordered by
the board to make an amended re-
port, to tax the lands OF the Union
Pacific somewhere near their just
valuation.
The fact that one section OF $40
acres of coal land. owned by the
Union Pacific and which sold for
$4,000 was taxed but 81 an acre be-
speaks the need of an investigation
into MIR. Fischer's methods of serv-
ing the public and the railroads.
AIR. Fischer failed to explain why
he had shown such marked favor to
the corporations Of this state In his
dealings with them and to the aver
age citizen whose property which ad-
Joins the Union Pacific coal lands Is
assessed at customary valuation, 1t
looks like the plain case of value
given for value received" between
Fischer and the railroads.
And after they have found these
glaring discrepancies, the state board
OF equalization ordered MIR. Fischer
to return home and make out q new
report, assessing the Union Pacific
coal lands at somewhere near their
Just valuation.
The case was one of the most un-
usual impositions on the public con-
fidence which has ever been suffered
in this county. Mr.. Fischer was
given the trust OF his Office by the
people of Weld county and MIR. Fis-
cher has repaid this confidence plac-
ed in him by accepting favors from
the Union Pacific railroad and in
turn by assessing their lands at
nominal value.
known all their findings against Mr..
Fischer. The fact that one member
of that body stated that the history
of Weld county, SO far as Mr.. Fis-
cher's alleged graft Is concerned
would shame that of Sanchez OF
Huerfano. shows to what extent Mr..
Fischer has gone in the abuse of
the public confidence.
1t will be interesting to note the
difference between the amended re-
port which Mr.. Fischer has been
forced to make to the state board
and that which was so lax that IT
called for rigid investigation on the
part of the state.

Rat Killer Popular Official

Greeley's chief rat killer. Milt
Seaman. is the most popular man in
town, that Is If mans popularity
may be gauged from the standpoint
of correspondence he obtains.
People from every part of the
country have written to Mr.. Seaman
asking for remedies which are sure
to do away with rodents and MT.
Seaman Is always there with reply.
Within the past two weeks exactly
456 rats have been killed in Greeley
by the art killer and his assistants
and there is no chance whatever for
an honest rodent to earn livelihood
in Greeley since the installation of
the chief rat killer and his worthy
band of assistants.
It's death to all rats" now and an
occasional cat or two have paid the
penalty OF being around when the
rat killers are on the job.
The killing OF rats has been TRIM
med down to science in Greeley
and inquiries are coming from every
part OF the country from those who
would know how the Job is done.

N. A. Young, of Eveleth, now as
sistant county superintendent of
schools, is candidate for the Office
of superintendent and he hopes to
secure the active support of the
public in his effort to secure the
nomination and election.
Mr.. Young was graduated from
the Illinois State Normal Univers-
ity in 1902, and since that time has
been actively engaged in school
work in St. Louis county. For five
years he was principal of the
schools at Soudan, Minnesota, and
for two and half years he was at
the head of the schools at Aurora,
Minnesota. The latter position he
resigned on the first day of last
February in order to take up the
work in the county superintendent
Office. His professional training to.
gether with his years of experience
in teaching ought to fit him well
for the work of the position for
which he asks.

His Stock is Booming.

The candidacy stock of John r.
Meining for sheriff is apparently
booming, if one my be permitted to
judge fran the sentiments of those
in the pit.
And John is not going to be dis
pleased if he gets the nomination,
to which himself and friends feel
that he is 80 much entitled. He has
always been consistent, working
repu blican, has always helped the
other fellow politically, and feels
that in asking the support of the
voters he is not asking more than
should be received.
He has twice before been a can
didate for the nomination, but in
each instance others were in the
field aside from himself and Mr..
Bates, making the fight consider
ably harder one, but despite this
fact two years ago the majority re-
ceived by Mr.. Bates was an exceed.
ingly small one. This year the fight
between the twain is closed corp
Grafton, with no leeches to draw
from either, aud that Mr.. Meining
will have the best of the argument
at the close seems apparent.
Mr.. Bates has been sheriff for six
years past, and previously to that
time was for many years an EN-
ploye of the sher1ff's Office, and the
fact Of his long tenure of office is
becoming factor against him at
this time.

New School Needed

In conversation with a resident of
the Township of Great Scott on
Wednesday we were informed that
new school is badly needed in the
district comprising the north half
of that township, where we are told
are a mum Der of children of school
age living 80 far from the only
school in the district that attend
ance is precluded, with the result
that children of twelve or thirteen
years of age have never as yet had
a day of schooling and are unable
to tell their own name in the Eng
lish language.
In this advanced age, and in a
state where the boast is made of
the immense school fund, and where
in the settled communities no bet
ter educational advantages are Of
fered the young anywhere, it would
seem a condition such as depicted
should have a remedy and a speedy
one. 1t ia told to US that the condi-
ton has been called to the attention
of the proper district and county
authorities, without avail. If az
portrayed, it should be taken to a
higher source-to the state super
1ntendent of public instruction-in
the endeavor to have adequate facil-
tiles furnished.
Next to good roads, good schools
are the greatest factor in the devel-
opment of any section, aud it would
appear to be poor policy for such
conditions to be allowed to exist in
the very heart of section that con-
tributes such enormous amounts
to the state school fund.
Let the matter be sifted, and if
conditions as portrayed are right
let the matter be righted-and let
the blame for the existence of such
conditions become public and be
properly placed.
