OF the governor, removed from
office for cause. They are to de,
vote their entire time to the gath.
ering of information and data fol
and to the making of an assess.
ment of the entire county, 3.
It is believed that such an as.
SCISSOR, secure in a long official
term and with a reasonable sal,
airy, and being free from local al
we'll as political influences, will
be able to make a better and
fairer assessment for each taxing
district than is possible under the
existing system. Devoting his
entire time to the work of his
office, he is expected to familiar
ize himself with all property, real
and personal, in his county and
the values thereof. He is also
expected to be constantly gather
ing the facts and data upon which
to predicate his assessment.
Real estate. farms and city lots
can be mapped and plated, the
improvements thereon fairly as
certained, and valuations made
approximating accuracy. Tangi-
BILE personal property can SINH
larly be inventoried and CLASH
fed; and possibly a better glimpse
can be caught Of the evanescent
intangibles which rarely appear
upon the tax lists.
With a few years. experience
such an assessor will become
somewhat of an expert in valua-
tions, the system of averages will
be eliminated and every taxpayer
will have the satisfaction of know
ing that his property as we'll as
that of his neighbors is valued &C.
cordlng to it's merits and not as a.
matter of favoritism or mere guess
work.
The county assessor system is
not new. In one form or another
it prevails in twenty nine states of
the union. In the state of Kansas
it seems to have been at least
fairly successful and to have re-
suited in a much better assessment
than under the local assessor sys-
tenn.
The commission is Of the opin-
ion that upon the whole the cost
of making an assessment Of the
entire county by county assessor
will not very materially exceed
the cost of making the assessment
by local assessors under the exist
ing system, and that the work will
be done much more thorough
and satisfactory than at present.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

So much has been said in favor
Of direct nomination and election
Of United States senator's by the
people that it seems hardly neces-
sary to say anything more on the
subject. We cannot resist the
temptation, however, of calling
attention to the situation in New
York state where two opposing
factions of Wall Street are lined
up in battle array in an endeavor
to secure the seat to be vacated
by Senator Depew on March 4,
for the representative of their
faction. If there ever was con
vincing argument for a change in
the system Of electing United
States senators the strife going
on between the factions of the
interests represented by Sheehan
and Shepard is very strong proof.
Truly this is a battle royal be-
tween the Glow brows'' and the
"silk stockings as to who will
secure the plumber. To read the
daily papers one would believe
there were not 5000, 600 people
in New York state who have any.
choice in this matter, they having
abdicated in favor Of the inter.
ests. Let the good work go on.

COUNTY ASSESSOR.

In another column appears a
list of the recommendations made
to the governor and legislature
by the Minnesota tax commits
sion.
Among other improvements
proposed is that providing for a
county assessor and the abolition
OF the present corps of assessors.
Briefly stated, the proposition
is the adjustment of the local
assessors Except in cities where
the same exist by special law or
charter) and the substitution in
their place of county assessors.
These county assessors in the first
instance are to be appointed by
the county boards, and hold office
until the general election in 1916,
when and every four years there
after such assessors are to be
elected by the people of the re-
spective counties. p.
Where necessary, and with GER
tain restrictions specified, the
county assessor can appoint dep
uties to assist in his work. Such
assessor is to receive reasonable
salary, and is: prohibited from
taking an active part in partisan
politics. All assessors are sub
ject to the direction and super
vision Of the tax commission, and
may be by it, with the approval

COMPENSATION FOR IN.
JURIES.

1t is a well known fact that
statistics from the courts through
out the nation prove that of thoss
injured by modern industrialism
not over Is per cent have a cause
of action under our present sys-
tenn for the injuries they have re-
ceived, because not over Is per
cent Of those injured, according
to the decisions Of the courts, are
due to the negligence of the. en-
ployer.
About Is per cent are due to
the negligence of fellow servants,
and the balance fall in the class
af risks incident to the trade or
contributory negligence.
Consequently, under our pres
ent system of legal procedure,
with all of it's inadequacies, with
all Of it's delays and all it's rules
which seek apparently to prevent
recovery, there exists no hope for
compensation in over Is per cent
of the cases.
At least so per cent of the en-
ployers Of this country are pro-
tected by what are known as ac-
cident liability policies, and dur
ing the course Of the last five
years they have paid to the &C.
cident or to the liability insur-
ance companies $95,oo0,000, and
during that time the insurance
companies only paid to those who
were injured $40,00O,000.
The result was pure loss to
this country of $55, 100000, which
went to the insurance companies
to pay the expenses of admin
istration, or went as court costs
or attorneys fees in resisting the
claims of those who brought suits
against employers. Five million
dollars more was received and
kept by the insurance companies
than was paid to those who were
actually hurt.
Of the $4o,0 900 that actually
went, or was supposed to 60 to
the man who suffered the injury,
not over So per cent actually
reached him, because the ex-
penses Of litigation and the attor.
neys' fees consumed so per cent.

5,s III ~ &N&N II. M
Hon, Robert g. Dunn, SO we'll
and favorably known TO all the
people Of Northern Minnesota,
gives his views On reapportion-
ment Is follows:
1t looks bad for reapportion-
ment in the senate, Some people
blame the liquor interests which,
having gone to a good deal Of
trouble and expense to secure the
election Of a senate which would
not judge them too harshly, don't
like. the idea Of having two
years hence TODD the job all over
again. J.. ~ -.
Others attribute the reluctance
of senators to vote themselves out
Of office to their own selfishness.
They don't want so soon to give
up jobs they had hard work to
get. Still others attribute the
opposition to reapportionment to
the reluctance Of the people of
small districts to sacrifice their
representation.
I question whether, if one got
back to the people themselves,
any great cause would be found
for attributing to them serious
opposition to such fair reap
portionment of the state as would
give all the people a square deal.
There is another reason ad-
vanced, namely the fear that, un-
der any plan Of reapportionment
on a basis Of population, the rep
resentation of the populous coun-
ties would be so great as to prove
a menace to the state at large.
Personally I regard this as a.
special plea invented for the &C.
casion, and I think that an in
quiry into the part many of the
senator's now opposed to reap
portionment have taken in the
past, in affiliation with the SEN
ators from the large centers,
would indicate that they have not
the horror Of the schemes Of the
special interests which their pres
ent attitude would imply.
An investigation made subse-
quent to the vote shows that, &C.
cording to the present population
Of the state, the senator's who
voted for the resolution repre-
sented 1,279,492: inhabitants of
the state, while those who voted
against the resolution. and dc
feated it represented but 723,o26
inhabitants Of the state.
This indicates that the major
ity of the people are represented
by a minority of senators, a con-
dition which no .fair-minded man
would wish to see perpetuated.
It has also been pointed out
that the assessed valuation of the
districts represented by minor
ity of the senators is $795, 49,
532, while the valuation of the
districts represented by the ma
jority of the senators voting
against reapportionment is $685.

However, men govern in this
state, or should, and not mere
wealth. To concede anything
else would be to take the govern

committee was held at Washington
hall Wednesday evening, it was large
ly attended. all members of the vari-

large and interested crowd in the
galleries. Rev. r. B. Urmy said

Mr.. Brinley called for reports, but
w. w. Cutler asked permission to
say few words and he said There
are many thanks due to the ladies',
who have done so much for this COM
mittee, and for the association dur
ing this week, but above all to the
president of the Ladies' Auxiliary,
and on their behalf l take pleasure
in presenting to Mrs. Tompkins a
slight token from the association" /"
He then presented Mrs. Tompkins
with beautiful bouquet.
Mr.. Ward then spoke, stating that
he could see that the amount was
going to be raised as the teams had
all done SO well to-day, and he felt
sure that many of the team captains
would be able to report better later
in the evening. Several mmbers of
the various teams then made use of
the telephone and reported various
amounts which they had received con
ditional ON the amount being raised.
At ten o'clock the teams came to-
gether again, and reported the vari-
GUS amounts which brought the grand
total up to $135, 5,613.25, and leaving a
balance of $14,387 to be raised, to be
balance of $14,3S7 to be raised as a
memorial to DIR. Stephen Pierson
Resolutions were passed thanking
the papers for the work they had
done in helping to advertise this
campaign. Also thanking Mr. Ward
and Mr.. Coburn for the work they
had done in assisting in this cam
paign.
w. w. Cutler made short speech
in which he said he felt as il every
one connected with this campaign
should feel great cause for congratu-
iation, and that they deserved the
thanks of the people of Morristown.
Messrs. Ward, Honey, Coburn, Watts
and others were called upon and all
congratulated the citizens of the town
on what had been accomplished and
asked for hearty cooperation in the
work of the association.
There were about 1400 subscribers
in all of whom fifty-six gave sums
of $500 and over.

Basket ball has begun to take
hold as the weather gets cooler, it
is expected that many contests for
supremacy will take place during the
season.
Tennis has been enjoyed by quite
a few and some excellent players
amongst the smaller boys have been
developed.
THE work of the boys and girls
in gymnastics Is progressing and a
contest will be given during October,
for which they are all priming them
selves.
Through the cooperation of Mr..
Travell, superintendent of public
schools, the children have enjoyed
and been benefited by the out-of-
door exercises which have been held
in the playground every good day
since September 18th. The children
have been marched to the playground
by grades so the work could be given
suitable to the age of the children.
All of the teachers that have accom-
panied their class to these exercises
have been very much pleased and
heartily endorse the splendid work.
Many letters from these teachers
have been received, all praising the
work, not one expressing any dis
approval.
IF the parents that object to the
children coming down would make a
visit to the playground any afternoon
between the hours of 230 and $50
and see just how the work is con-
Quoted, and that only the children
in classes are allowed in at that hour
all others being kept out till $3.50,
they would withdraw their objection.
Some parents are afraid that there
may be germs lurking on the diff
ferent apparatus but the galvanized
steel structure of the gymnasium wit
chains instead Of ropes and rings
and bars of the same material it will
be readily understood that with the
rain and sunshine pouring down on
this apparatus it could not harbor
any germs whatever.
