I'll. TURNER.
OF the Martin Mail Tells
Something of Him self
in Ills Own Paper.

E0itor Turner in the Martin
Mail Of August 2Sth has this to
tsay Of himself. We clip the
facts OF the article and leave out
the fAncies ON which Editor
Turner reverses himself as an
independent and allies himself
with the Howse--Crump--Lui-
gsrt, ct al crowd in support of
Rye over Hooper.
| Now listen to the facts:
He has always been a Demo-
erat, and because, he voted for
Governor Hooper he did not
change his politics and become
Republican. He was az Demo
crat, and is still one. He voted
for Hooper because Governor
Hooper stood for all that which
was good and true 10 the govern
ment ofthe state, and the DEM
ocratic party did not. The edi-
tor of:.this sheetis not yellow
dog Democrat. He stands for
honesty and integrity 10 the par
ty, and when the party bows its
knee to other interests than
those for the good Of the state
he does not follow. He truckles
to no party or men. He is q
man of his own convictions and
own mind. He is the preserver
of his own integrity, the voter cf
his own ballot, the follower Of
no man or set of men at his or
their beck and call. He believes
that man should be as honest
in politics as he is in his every
day vocation. Be what he ia,
stand for what he considers
right. He does not regret cast
ing his vote for Governor Hoop
er, and would do it again under
the same circumstances. He
did not vote for Benton McMil.

that the Democratic platform
favored the whisky interests Of

TAX APPEALS MUST
Be MADE IN WRITING
Assessors Office Thronged With
Persons Seeking lnforma-
ton on Tax Changes.

From this date all appeals from the
Assessment placed upon property in the
District for the triennial period begin
ming in 1915, must be made in writing.
Assessor William P. Richards and his
assistants will furnish information. as
heretofore. as to the new ratings. but
n will be impossible for them TO as
sist taxpayers in the preparation Of ap-
pesls.
This order was rendered necessary by
reason of the congestion in the office
o. the assessor. following the announce
ment that the tax bills which are now
in the hands Of property holders are
based upon the old assessment and not
upon the new. as many had supposed.
1t was this misconception OF the situa-
tion, as now appears, that prevented
many from filins appeals. believing, as
they did. that there had been no in
crease in the amount they we're taxed.
Deluge of Inquiries.
The throng OF inquirers In the office
of the assessor was almost as great
today as yesterday. with indications
that the office force will have its hands
fun furnishing information from now
until June !, when, under the law. the
last appeals can be received.
Appeals must be submitted in writing,
and should set forth the grounds upon
which a lower rate is claimed furnish
ing a statement Of such offers as may
have been made on the property and
such other data Is will enable the board
OF equalization and review to arrive at
an accurate estimate of its "aluc. OPP
portuHity may be granted appellants to
appear before the board later.
With the exception of certain read
justments on corner properties, prac-
ticalIy. no changes have been made by
the new assessment in the valuations of
property in the northeast. southeast,
and southwest sections OF the city, and
fe wchanges have been made in the
Georgetown district, with the exception
OF business properties on 4 and VI
streets. 1t is probable that in making
edualizations reductions may be made
on some of the residential properties in
this district.
Where Changes Were Made.
Practically no increases have been
made in the section north of Aiassachu-
setts avenue, bounded by Seventh and
Fourteenth streets, but some reductions
have been made and others are contem-
plated. The same is true of the LeDroit
Park and Bloomingdale districts, and of
the area west of Twentieth street and
south of NJ street in the city limits.
The greatest increases upon property
In residential sections have been made
in the suburban districts, and in the
greater number of these cases appeals
already have been submitted, assessor
Richards says.
