Must Name The Assessors
And Appraisers
VINO May Never FIJI Office
To Which They Are Elected
Politicians Over The. State
To Act Al Once

Discovery was made Monday that
IL will be necessary to make nominar
tions and elect personal property as.
SCISSORS in each ward in the city and
county, also quadrennial appraisers
CT real estate in spite Of both boards
having been abolished in the recent
legislative session.
Immediate steps were taken Mon
day by Democratic and Republican or
ganization leaders to arrange for NIL
ing such offices. Great difficulty is
anticipated in securing capable men
to run because Of the uncertainty az
to whether they will ever serve.
Necessity for assessors and quad.
rennial appraisers being nominated
and elected lies in the possibility OF
the referendum defeating the new
Warnes deputy state tax commission
law. This is not only applicable to
Mt. Vernon and Knox county, but to
every other city and county In the
state.
Voters will cast ballots ON the
Warnes bill referendum on the same
date they vote for assessors and aD-
praisers-- regular November elec'
tion day.
The Warnes law abolishes the pres
ent elected assessor system Of fixing
valuations on personal property and
the quadrennial appraisers who each
four years revise land values through
out the state.
In place, deputy state tax commits
sioners are created In each county
with power to fix and revise valua'
tions on both personal and real prop
erty. The Warnes law also reor'
sanizes all other taxing machinery Of
the counties and cities In Ohio.
In the event the referendum, d.
rected by the state board Of COM
merce, the Ohio Equity association
and other Ohio business interests, de-
icats the Warnes law, tax laws would
be back where they were before be-
ing revised by the last session OF the
legislature.
It is to provide against the posi-
HE carrying of this referendum tha'
assessors and quadrennial appraisers
must be nominated and elected nex'
fall in every city, village, townshiT
and county In the state.
Real estate in Mt. Vernon and al
parts Of the state must be reappraiset
next year whether the referendum Of
the Warnes bill carries or not.
Ii the referendum fails and the Law
stands as adopted by the legislature
the deputy state tax commissioner
in each county, with the aid OF tn
machinery created by the Warnes law
will make the new real estate appraia
al. Otherwise the quadrenniai ap
praisers. provided for by statute
law, must proceed under the old rule
which is repealed under the Warne

WATER VALLEY,
YALoBUsHA COUNTY. Miss.

In one of its sanest moments an
exchange sets forth this incontro-
vertible truth. 1t is powerfully
true:
"It is better to have the reputa-
ton of paying your honest debts
than of being leader in society.
All the glory of social life cannot
compensate for the ignominy of
getting through on false pretenses.
The wretchedness of man or wo-
man who, for the sake of display,
is hunted day and night by credl-
tors. who almost fear to walk the
streets, is pitiable. There must be
be an end to him and bitter one.
Character IS worth more than
clothes and independence than the
social swim. 1t may not cut as
great sweep or attract as much
attention, but it will last longer
and bring them much reward in
the end"

Just to Keep Things Straight.

While the subject of prisons and
convicts is being generally discuss
ed, let us pause long enough to
remark that there is only one news
paper man in the Mississippi
penetentiary, and he is there be
cause he married not wisely, but
too often, says the jackson News.
An examination of the prison ros-
ter shows half dozen doctors, an
equal number of lawyers, nine
preachers, and three bank cashiers
with dozen or so of the latter
class headed in that direction, and
more who ought to be on the way.
And it makes one shudder to think
of the number of lawyers who are
on the outside chiefly because they
know the devious paths of the law.
We don't mention this by way
of unpleasant comparison, but
merely to keep the record straight.
