ABANDON CASH VALUE.

The cash valuation assessment
plan. so far as the state board OF
equalization Is concerned, will be
abandonded, Secretary of State
Clifford and State Treasurer Allen
have publicly stated that they would
join Auditor Taylor in re%considerine
the action of the board ordering the
assessors OF assess at full cash value
This is the sensible thing TO do.
Any other course carries the pre-.
sumption that state and county
boards of equalization, county com
missioners and directors of school
districts al arbitrarily change laws
or read into them something which
was neever put there. While it is
an ignoring OF the law to assess at
less than cash value. the enforce
ment Of this law would make neces-
sary the violation of a number of
laws and lead to endless confusion,
When Governor Hawley signed the
new school code, which says that
the commissioners of each county
shall levy nc tmore than ten mills
nor less than five, for the general
school fund. he could not have had
cash valuation in mind, especially
so when the same law provides
that the trustees of every school dis
trict In the state must make a spec
ial levy of ten mills, or exclude dis
tricts which fail to do so. to par
ticipation in a division 70 any Of the
state and counyt school moneys
Neither could he have thought of
cash valuation assessment when he
signed the appropriations bills for
the support of the state Institutions
wherein fixed mill levies are made.
The logic of the governor in de-
handing cash value assessments is
that the courts would not permit
the raising of unnecessary money by
taxation. II SO, which laws would
the courts hold valid. II they held
the law relating to levies invalid,
would they presume to decree
hat were just. If not, and
II Is not reasonable to suppose that
our courts would enter the domains
legislation. then the state would
be up against a government of
men rather than of law. And a
government of men IL hostile to the
principles of our gov
'rnmeut. The people OF this com
nunity, no matter what sentiment.
n other communities may be. are
to comforting upon any
'ody of men other than the legisla-
ure. the power to fix tax levies,
10 body of men sitting at the state
can have Information broad
noueh TO hermit them To make inst
evies. The popularity of Governor
has suffered greatly. and if
e PERSISTS In this matter. he will
ecome the most unpopular COVER
or the state has ever known.

COMMISSIONERS ADDRESS
Setting Forth the Reasons Why 4
a Bond Election Was Called.

In submitting the question to the
people of Oneida county whether or
not We shall bond the county for the
sum OF money sufficient to enable
5 to accomplish a considerable
oe1ount of much needed improve
ments in bridges and roads. we
1eel that 1t is due to the people
whom we represent in the business
affairs of the county that we should
make clear the conditions that i'm
PEELED us to take III the bond uues-
tion and the reasons why we favor
bonding.
An unusual amount of road and
bridge Improvement is made neces-
sary on account of the unusual con-
ditions. During the floods of last
winter many bridges were washed
cut and will have to be replaced
either by good permanent struc-
lures or with temporary bridges.
We favor doing the work well in
the first place and feel certain that
this plan will result eventually in
Il considerable saving to the county.
Another feature that has created
an unusual demand for roads and
bridges is the rapid growth in GER
tain sections of the county. Hun
dreds of people have come here to
make their homes. They have filed
OF homesteads and are doing a
great work for the industrial devel-
opment of II county. and we feel
that We would be lax in the per-
Torrance of our duties as commits
sioners if we failed to provide these
people with the best possible high
ways that the funds of the county
will permit.
To accomplish the work outlined
at the present time will cost about
s25, 200. 90 which amount can only
be raised by bonding the county. If
the people give their approval to
the bond proposition the payment of
money can be scattered over
a period of at least ten years and
therefore will O become burden
at any time. but on the other
hand. should we attempt to do this
work by direct tax the levy would
nave to be raised to the limit and
then it would take two or
more ears to accomplish il. The
of taxation would be greater
we feel justified in imposing
)n the people.
After giving this question much
consideration it is ON opin-
ion that to bond the county is the
only feasible way to accomplish
This work without imposing a very
great burden upon the taxpayers of
the county, and We are now asking
the people to give their approval in

The county commissioners are
up against a hard proposition. They
found a warrant indebtedness offs 39,
900 when they assumed office, and
road work during the quarter end
ing January 81 last, amounting to
S11, 900 in round numbers. On top
OF that came calamity of the Feb
rnary floods, calling for heavier roa
aud bridge expenditures than the
county has yer had to meet. The
Press Is not eriticiisng the old board
for increasing the warrant indebt-
edness, nor for contracting $1,000
of road work in the last quarter Of
their administration. but merely call
ing attention to them in order to
relieve the present board from re-
sponsibility for things for which
they are not responsible. The causes
which seen to make a bond issue
necessary can not be traced to the
present board. They did not have
anything to do with the increased
warrant Indebtedness, neither did
they the floods. They Inherit
ed the Indebtedness and the floods
came unbidden. leaving them to
face serious conditions. The people
who pay the taxes may be disposed
without thinking. to criticize the
present board, when they get their

taxes win be high. Theyshould con-

The Press is glad to be corrected
IA to the provisions OF the new code.
The provisions of the code were con
fused with the circular sent out by
the superintendent of this county,
which stated that IL would be nee
essary for every school district In

cial tax. The Press will not recede'
however, from the position taken
that the new code and the cash val
ne plan will not work together.
Had the trainers of the code been
apprfsed that the basis of assess
ment was TO be changed they would
have made a change in he levies
fixed by Il. as a little figuring will
clearly show. To make this plain
let us apply the apportionment undo
