She will visit for a couple months

in the fall. Grandma Pyme is
eighty-four years old and is still
hale and hearty.
The primary teachers and children
gave Mrs. Emma Cuff a surprise
social at Amusement Hall Wednes-
day afternoon. About a hundred
and fifty children were in the hall
when Mrs. Cuff was ushered in on
some pretex. The little ones well
coined her with a hearty applause
and she was almost overcome for
some minutes. A few simple games
were played and a nice program
was carried out by the children.
Mrs. Cuff was presented with a
nice picture, as token of the ap-
probation in which she was held by
the children. Refreshments were
served and all had a good time.
A large crowd left for Utah on
Sunday mornings train. Mr.. and
Mrs. E. M. w. Jones went to spend

per acre.
did Mr.. Bishop do this to injure
the farmers, or is he in the employ
Q { the corporations, trying to keep
their valuations from being raised.
He knows the railroad should be as
sessed at $1,000 per mile, but has
the Bulletin ever advocated it.
Of course, his statement Of the
high price of land in the valley is
not correct, and in order to counter
act the effect this will have with the
board. in increasing the price OF
land, the assessor informs us that he
has prepared a schedule, showing
the valuation of land in the valley.
which shows that his assessed valu-
alton is about one-half the actual
average valuation of land. The cor
porations should pay on the same
valuation.
Mr.. Bishop could not help show
ing again his hatred of the Nor
mons, by jumping on to j. A. Woods.
The assessor tells us that while he
never offered Mr.. Woods any finan-
cial assistance, he has always said,
and still says, that Mr.. Woods should
hold the office of school superintend-
ent, if other officers hold their posi-
tons under the enabling act. Mr..
Woods proved himself to be a school
superintendent that all lovers of
good schools can be proud of, Mr..
Bishop to the contrary, notwith-
standing.

SHALL THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Be ALOR|CHzED?

The fight is on! Shall the dem
ocratic national convention of 1912
be controlled by an Aldrich democ.
racy or shall it represent real dem.
ocratic sentiment?
Although the democratic party
has not controlled administrations
in recent years it's democratic plat,
forms have given it power pos,
sessed by no other party in
history--the power to compel
opposing parties to recognize the
righteousness of its platforms.
This advantage has been won by
the party's persistent fight for the
people during the past l6 years.
Today the American people are
looking to the democratic party as
the leader in real reforms.
Can the democratic party be
trusted. The democratic national
conventional for 1912 will provide
the answer.
The special interests that have
wrecked the republican party are
seeking to gain control of the
democratice party.
If they find that the progressive
sentiment is too strong to be
entirely ignored they will take
someone who has been progressive
enough to furnish them something
to talk about but not progressive
enough to fight the interests.
After long fight the progress
sive policies which aroused the
opposition of all the predatory in.
terests in 1896 are becoming the
accepted policies of the country,
but the interests will do their best
to nominate a candidate who is not |
in sympathy with them and who
tried to retard their progress.
The work of a democratic presi-
lent will be no easy work. 1t will
.equire strength of body, strength

of mind and unflinching mora
purpose. The times require stall
wart, fearless, progressive leader.
Congress will largely shape the
issue and may develop the man,
but whether he. comes from the
senate or the house, or from a
state position or from private life,
he must measure up to the require
ments OF the occasion and be able
to summon the progressive hosts
to his banner. He must be posi-
tive and progressive if he is to win
the confidence of those who are
seeking remedial legislation.
If you believe the democratic
party should be true to it's name
you may help win the. fight to pro-
tect its national convention from the
invading forces of those who would
make the party the laughing stock
of real democrats.
Mr.. Bryan will do his part in the
effort to protect the democratic
party from "Aldrichism." On the
stump and through his paper, The
Commoner, he will insist that the
progress made by the party during
the past sixteen years shall not be
thrown away; that the special inter-
ests shall not control the conven-
ton; that its platform shall be hon.
est and unequivocal and its can
didates devoted to genuine demo-
cratic doctrine.

The work ~ the assessors in the County show
but little improvement over last year just why
they persist in making an assessment Of the
property of the county at a 90 per cent valuation,
do not know. The idea that a low assessment
makes low taxes is so utterly absurd and ridicul-
Gus that no intelligent person any longer contends
for it.
So much money must be raised by taxation.
The assessment is made for basis for the distri-
button Of that money and the nearer the assessors
get to the true value Of the property, the more
equitable win be that distribution, in the county
and in each assessment district

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR or ASSESS
MENT.
Office Of Supervisor Of Assessment, Iowa County
Wisconsin. Mineral Point, Wis, Oct. II, 1911.
Gentlemen of the County Board: ] herewith
present to you my fourth annual report.
Ny assistant Mr.. Joiner, has prepared under
my direction the comprehensive tables, which are
the material part of the report. He has calculated
the market value Of the real estate of the county
from a list Of 999 sales Of real estate, made during
the five years previous to July LIST, 1911; q list
selected by us from much larger list of sales.
This selected list we considered gave line on
the values Of real estate, as shown by the selling
prices. From the values so calculated, reduced to
value per acre, ] have fixed an acre value in the
several assessment districts, which in my ludg-
ment more nearly approaches the true cash value
undisturbed by sudden fluctuations of prices
caused by the temporary activity of real estate
transactions in certain localities.
We append in Special Form D. on the last page
Of the Statistical report, a comparison of the real
estate relative values as calculated by the State
Tax Commission. with the relative real estate
values as calculated by US. You viii notice con-
siderable variation in those values. 1t is for you
Gentlemen, who have the final word IN this matter
TO so adjust your equalized values, that nc injus-
tce shall be done to any part Of the County
The acre value which we have calculated from
the list of sales is given in Table of the Statisti
cal Report. 1t Is obvious, from an inspection of
