A. Nj. THOMAS

When you get next to q maH 8
pocket-book, you generally hear frem
him favorably or otherwise. Largely
because of this fact which enters 20
strongly into the everyday life Of oil
individuals, the Office of county assessor
is one of the hardest to fill People ere
inclined to blame the assessor for high
taxes, forgetting that the work Of the
assessor is controlled by rules and laws,
not of the assessors own making, but
handed down to him from higher suthor-
ity. And today the state tax commits
sion is stror z body which stands over
him and demands that certain assess
ments be made. In many cases in
Colorado, assessors have cut down the
assessments of their county, only to
have them raised by the tax commission.
People should realize this fact, and not
be so inclined to place full RESPONSE
biity at the doors of the assessor. 1t
is an easy matter for a man who has
never been in the assessors Office to
get out and tell the people how he will
lower assessments, but it must be re-
membered that this candidate, with all
of his glowing promises, will have some
laws, taxing bodies, and situations to
meet, if he is elected to office, which
will have more to do with his actual as
sessments than all of the promises that
he can make during his campaign.
A very important function of the
county assessor is to see that all of the
taxable property within the county gets
onto the tax schedules and shares its
proportion in support of the govern
ment, and, Furthermore that all are
treated alike without discrimination.
1t is the general opinion that A. M.
Thomas, as assessor, has fulfilled these
duties as honestly and fairly as any
person could.
Mr.. Thomas has been fair and consc-
entious, and has always been willing to
listen to complaints. He knows the
duties of the office and the peculiar con-
dltions which an assessor must face.
He Is apt to make fewer mistakes in
Judgment than is a man who does not
know the office. He is efficient, and is
just now in the midst of making the
changes in the assessors office which
are demanded IN every county by the
state tax commission. and at this time
It would not be wise to place in the
office an inexperienced man who thinks
that he can control the assessments at
will.

PARIS, Oct. 19-Although fighting
in the north continued at several
points. official reports reaching mill
tary headquarters here indicate that
the Germans are not IA sunicient
force TO penetrate the allied lines at
the extreme northwest just north
of the Belgian border. Little early
change IS looked for az this point
Between Arras and the ueighborhOod
of SCISSORS, the allies continue to
drive the enemy back and at points
have driven wedges into the German
line. which. Il is reported, here,
reaches TO the main line OF entrench-

II is believed here that the Ger

the French advance is proceeding
steadily near that point, the most
advanced Of the German positions on
the right. The French armies operat-
ing from Nancy and Tout continue
their efforts to penetrate the valley
of the MOselle, the objective assumed
~ being Metz.
Operations are being decidedly
hampered by the heavy rains and
cold weather. Official and unofficial
reports received from the north agree
that all OF the roads have been bad
" damaged by the transport OF
heavy guns and supply trains and
that they are difficult Of passage
while the fields generally are

and horses lounder

Reports that small torpedo boats ar

they confirmed.
The most severe fighting in progress
today was declared to be southwest o

tween Armentieres and Lille.
Although the most official commun
cations fail to make any definite claim
