ASSESSOR TAKES OFF BRAKES

The people OF the Carey tract are
not worrying over their assessments
for the reason that patents to their
lands were not issued until after
the date fixed by law when proper
ty becomes taxable. had passed For
this reason they believe their lands
will not be taxable at all. The Pres
hopes they are right. They nave
been doing a great work In redeem
ing waste land, and are entitled, as
the new dry land settlers also are
TO every consideration that can be
shown them. But whether their
lands are assessable this year or not
the time will soon roll around when
they will be, and everyone OF them
IL interested In such an adjustment
OF taxation as will not leave them
bearing an undue portion. as seems
TO be probable the course things are
taking. II they will assess new
lands on their net profits there Will
be NO further objection. But to as
sess them ut SO high a rate when
they are not sufficiently developed
