DECLINES TO SERVE
W. l. Mckinney Has Had One Round of Equalization Board and
 Says He's Immune.

W. I. Mckinney, who was recent iy named by Governor Donaghey as one of the members of the Equali- zation Board for Polk county, has written to the governor declining the appointment.
 As an explanation for refusing to serve, Mir. Mckinney states that he served on the board once. At that time he found some instances where property which was worth Si,000 was assessed at S200. He caused it to be raised to $500 according to the % per cent rate, and made some lasting enemies by so doing.
 While this may be part of n mans duty to his state. MT. Me- kinney thinks that like measles. humps, etc., fellow should be let oif after having it once.

table remedy. 1t is a tonic, a
strengthened and regulator of the
liver, kidneys and blood.
