trend OF all modern Legislation on

TO increase the assessment 10 per
cent An ideal system, such as pre-
walls in some of the States, REQUIRES
only sufficient assessment to keen
out cranks and prevent the undue
multiplication OF candidates to confuse
the voters. In some States none at
All is required, Just as none is neces-
sary for candidate at a general cleo
ton. Surely. II a candidate is to be
penalized at all, the amount should
be as reasonable as 1t can be made.
The committee also proposes that in
cases OF candidates for Offices whose
compensation is paid partly in salary
and partly in fees the party commit
tees may determine the assessment.
These Offices are numerous and. If this
amendment is adopted, the evils of
excessive assessments by committees,
which nave been so. loudly arI so
justly complained of. will be retained.

County Treasurer on the
Proposed Five Mill Tax

Rock Island, ILL.,, Oct 1O.-Editor
The Argus: | have been asked 10
write an article for the papers giving
my views on the proposed 5-mill tax
and why it is necessary AS to the
necessity ould say the reason is that
the law OF Illinois does not perinlt the
supervisors to make a levy for coun-
in this county high enough to meet
curl ent expenses. This is true POW
and Ey going back 40 years 10 1872,
find that it has been true in the
past. Between that date and 1895,
II special tax was voted three differ
ert times TO help out the regular
levy and pay off accumulated debt, but
since the court house was built l6
years age no special tax has been
levied and the debt which wds Gre
ated when the court house was buiit
still stands This debt / understand
was caused partly by changes in spec
ifcations of building the court house,
a copper roof was substituted for a
felt roof and the marble wainscOt WAS
G'l'-Su. IHe SIdulLS Vi Tic ydlhi ne"
SIDE walks, the paving of the streets
on dll sides of the square, $4,000
donation to secure the building of the
state hospital at Watertown and fire
at the county farm, which destroyed
the principal building there. These
items / believe caused this debt. J he
expenses of the county increase with
tie population, and laws that have
been enacted by the legislature have
caused some expense. The primary
law costs about $4,000 per year, the
jurors are paid SO per day instead of
s. The Offices of probate judge, pro,
late clerk and recorder have been
added All this without the legislat.
uIe making provision for the raising
of cent more by any form of taxa
ton and the consequence is that the
SUP ervisors and especially the finance
committee have had hard struggle to
! fcld anywhere near even. There is
one remark you often hear, that is
the board of supervisors are incompe
tent and grafters, etc. Now this is a
