POLICE JUDGES FAVORED.
COmmissioners May Urge Abolition
of Excise Board.

The Commissioners yesterday announc-
ed that unless better plans are advanced
they will recommend to Congress the
abolition Of the present excise board and
the appointment of a board consisting of
two Police Court judges and probably the
judge of the Juvenile Court to handle
the Districts liquor troubles. The plan
has received the Endorsement of District
Assessor Richards.
According to the present plan, mem
bers of the new excise board will hold
Office for life, or during good behavior.
Because of this provision, II is likely the
Commissioners also will recommend that
the Police Court judges hold office dur
ing life.
Recommendation probably will be made
that the judges OF the Police Court and
the judge of the Juvenile Court, II he
is made a member Of the board, receive
5000 a year. The Police Court Judges
now receive $500 per annum.

WOULD IT BE WRONG?

i there any reason why the official
books OF Pemiscot county should not
be gone over? l, there amy reason
VIII! the hooks of every county in the
state should not bc Inspected?
This would be only simple husi-
ness proposition.
Suppose the iiayti Herald was own
ed by company don't YOU believe
the company would take an occasion
al inventory and IA peep at the books?
of course the people of Pemiscot
county have confidence in our county
officials or they would not elect them
they have been selected from among
the best people in Pemiscot county.
Now, If the books are found in good
shape, then every official should feel
IA just pride, and the confidence and
esteem of the people who elected them
would be increased. Every county Of
fetal should gladly welcome and de-
nand an inspection, in order to stop
the much idle talk that has been in
dulged in since the old courthouse at
GayoSo was burned.
All large business concerns audit
their books. Our banks and ia ailrOads
have regular auditors, simply as a
matter of business safety and pre-
caution against errors. Bat no dis
credit or lack of confidence is meant.
1t simply means absolute safety ana
accuracy, which every one should
strive for.
This is our humble opinion. Are
we wrong?

No wonder our county and some of
our towns are not growing.
Can people from otter counties af
taxes are as high as paying interest?
There is something radically wrong
and whatever it is and wherever it is.
it should be discovered and remedied {.
Can it he that the vast and valuable
holding in our county are underasses-
sed, and that the poor people are over
assessed, and thereby made to bear
the burden of taxation?
If all the property in PemiScot coun-
ty shOald be ASSESSED at its actual
value, rich and poor alike, and at the
present rate of taxation, many large
landhOlders and other, would have to
borrow money to pay their taxes. so
the rate would have to he lowered, and
the rich and poor would snare an
equal burden.
AS rule, the rich are expert tax
dodgers, and 10y giving in their pro-
burden OF an extremely high rate,
while the poor man. knowing that he
has but little, gives it in at its value,
and hears the burden.
II has been customary to assess pro-
pcrty at 10 per cent OF its ualuc, bat
the assessor may not always do this.
In the a.ove case the assessor was
given the actual value and expected to
assess ii at 40 per cent, which instead
of 500. would he S2J6, and instead of
paying the enormous sum of Sl3..D,
81. 36 would have been tie correct sum.
SO in this instance Il poor person has
paid S9.O3 more taxes than he should
have paid.
All poor people should figure out
their holdings carefully, and SCI,
that it |, listed at ~ per cent OF It's
value. This is the rule to figure by.
Then SEE to it.
