CONGRESSMAN Miller is being
brought to task by his opposition
because he did not come out and
rant his head off for the head of the
tickets, one or the other. There is
one thing, Mr.. Miller will not be
compelled to repudiate any alliances
formed in the heat of the campaign.
He says he is Republican and
that should be sufficient guarantee
of his worthiness. The Republican
party is it in this country and is
considerable larger than any in
dividual. The principles of parties
are considered by the voters and
not the avordupois of any candi-
date. Mr.. Miller was busy in
Washington doing the work he was
elected to do for his district. And
he did it while others were putting
in their time making presidential
candidates.

TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
THE FOLLOWING is ONE OF SERIES OF AT SCIES PUBLISHED
BY REQUEST OF THE MINNESOTA TAX COMMISSION
CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION IS CORDIALLY INVITED
(Thirty-sevedth Article,
The County Assessor Bill

area of the county. II may be said
generally that such salary will be
little less than the present salary of
the county auditor or county
treasurer. The compensation of
deputies is to be determined by the
county board.
Such are the most important pro-
visions of the bill. 1t is believed
that such an assessor, secure in a
long official term with reasonable
salary, being free from local in
fluences and not intimately con-
nected or associated with the per-
sons whose property he is to assess,
will be able to make a fairer and
better assessment for each town and
for the county as whole than can
be made under the existing system.
Devoting his entire time to the
work of his Office he will be con-
stantly gathering the facts and data
upon which to base his assessment,
and will familiarize himself with
the property, real and personal, of
his county and with the value
thereof. Real estate, farms, and
city lots can be mapped and plated;
the character of the soil and the
nature of the improvements fairly
ascertained, and valuations made
approximating accuracy. Tangible
personally can be similarly in
ventoried and classified. With a
| few years experience such an as
SCISSOR, if man of ordinary intelli-
gence, will become an expert in
valuations, and every taxpayer will
have the satisfaction of knowing
that his property as we'll as that of
his neighbors is assessed according
to its merits, and not as a matter OF
| favoritism or mere guess work.
]. AS before stated, the object OF
the proposed bill is not to secure a
. higher or lower assessment, but a
fair and uniform assessment. The
important thing is that all taxable
property be put upon the tax list;
that it all be measured by the same
. yardstick and valued upon the same
basis so that one mans property
. shall not be overvalued and
another's undervalued; that he who
has been paying to much tax shall
pay less, and he who has been
paying too little shall pay his full
share.

The bill establishing a county
assessor in each county, in place OF
the $500 or more local assessors,
which was submitted to the last
two legislatures, and will be again
submitted to the next legislature,
is two voluminous to be here set
forth in detail. Many verbal, but
otherwise immaterial, changes in
the existing laws are necessary to
make them conform to the proposed
measure, and most of the sections
of the bill are of that nature.
The salient and most important
features of the bill are as follows:
1st. The abolition of the office of
local assessor Except in cities
where it exists by virtue of special
law or charter and the substitution
| in its place of the Office of county
assessor in each county. These
county assessors in the first instance
are to be appointed by the county
boards of the respective counties at
their regular meeting in July 1913,
and hold their Office until the
general election in 1918, when,
and every four years thereafter
such assessors are to be elected by
popular vote the same as other
county officers are elected. But
cities which retain city assessor
under their charters cannot partlcl-
pate in the election of county as
SCISSOR.
End. Such county assessors must
be a resident of the county, and
must give a bond for the faithful
discharge of his duties.
3rd. Where necessary, and under
proper restrictions, the county as
SCISSOR with the consent of the tax
commission can appoint deputies tt
assist him, not exceeding one
deputy for each 5000 of the popula
ton of the county excluding the
cities aforesaid. All assessors ano
deputies are to be under the direc'
ton and supervision of the taa
commission. =.
| 4th. The assessor must devote
| his entire time to the gathering o.
information and data for and to the
making of his assessment. HI
cannot hold any other Office moi
engage in any other business.
/ 5th. He is to receive reason
able salary which is based both up

Better Attendance Deserved
COMMUNICATED

The lecture "How to Make
Home Happy" given by Miss San
ford Monday evening at the High
School, was a rare treat to those
who heard it. The fact that so
few attended is most deplorable,
and casts reflection upon Our
city, So let us hope that the next
time one so distinguished comes to
our very doors, as it were, we will
make it our business, every one of
us, to welcome that person with
open ears; and after that the
hearty hand clasp.
SYNoPsIs-The lecture begins
with tests in the selection of a
master and mistress for the home.

ONE of the important constitu-
tional amendments to come up for
the consideration of the voters at
the November election is the Dunn
one mill road tax. The Miner has
previously called the attention of
its readers to this measure. If it
becomes law, and we sincerely
hope it will, it should prove very
admirable and commendable adj
dition to our state constitution, and
ultimately work out to the direct
benefit of every section of the state.
We hope our readers may give
the amendment proper considera-
ton, and favor it at the polls

EVEN Mr.. LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin is saying the Republican party
is his party. He feels he would
like to improve it according to his
ideas but he is not trying to bury
it which goes to show that LaFol-
lette is a much bigger man than
others we could name. The Re-
publican party still lives and will
be alive for some time to come.
Teddy cannot put it out of business
neither can Mr.. Wilson. The
record of the party will keep it
alive. Perhaps the party will be
defeated at the polls next month.
This has happened before but long
before the next election rolls around
you will see thousands on their
knees begging for chance to vote
for it again. This has also hap
pened before. Ask the miners on
the ranges what they got the last
time the Democrats had the whip in
hand. They will tell you that 75c
and a dollar a day was good pay.
1t took Mckinley and the Republi-
can party in 1896 to put the country
on its feet again after the soup
house time of Democracy. These
are the things that count and you
don't for a minute think the miner
will vote for the 75c a day in lieu
of the $2.75 and $500 he is now
getting. There may be enough OF
them fooled to bring on these times
again but we doubt it. We were
stung good and hard then and we
doubt very much whether enough
can be bambooZled for another dose
of that kind. Don't think you
will put all the corporations and
trusts on the hummer by turning
the country over to the Democrates
The big fellows have money enough
to tide over. several years of hard.
ship. How about yourself? Think
it over carefully before you 60 to

STIRRING OF YOUNG MANHOOD
Fathers Idea Of Teaching Little Son
Lesson Didn't Seem to Turn
Out Just Right.

The little three-year-old son Of a
proud North side father and mother
became so greatly interested In a pho.
nograph belonging to one of the neigh.
bors that he quite forgot to go home
at his accustomed bedtime.
Tell you what wen do" said his
father to his mother. "We1l put out
the lights and pretend we've gone to
bed. That will teach Master Bonnie a
lesson"
When the little chap hurried home,
about eight o'clock, he stopped in con-
sternation at the gate on noticing that
the place bore a dark and gloomy as
pect.
He called several times before his
mother, too kind-hearted to keep him
waiting any longer, answered him In
make-believe sleepy tones
What is 1t. my childT asked the
mother.
With trembling voice the youngster
replied:
Mother, will you please tell Benja-
minis father that his son Is out here
and wants to come in?"
Next morning at breakfast the par.
ents, who were prepared to hear their
little son excuse his conduct OF the
evening before, were astonished to
hear him exclaim:
