Rock County Tax Middle.

Fifteen towns and cities in Rock
county paid S11, 1892 less taxes last
wear than they should have paid, and
must make it up in this years tax
levies. Twelve towns were overtaxed
an equal amount and their tax bills
will be proportionately reduced next
January. This is the gist of a decision
of the state tax commission Tuesday.
The following towns and cities under
taxed last year by the board of equal
ization will have their taxes increased
by the following amounts next year:
Avon town, S478; town of Center,
SAB. 65; town of Harmony, $46.22; town
of GAINESVILLE, S434. SO; town of Lima,
1854. 80; town of Magnolia, $:01.27;
town of Milton, $434. "a; town of Ply
mouth, 1922. 88; town of Turtle, $3.50. "a !;
city of Beloit, $5.71O.87; village of
Clinton, $28. Sc; city of Edgerton, $33. "a !;
city of GAINESVILLE, So, 1877. SO; village of
Milton, $1O97; village of Orfordville,
1868.
The following towns were overtaxed
last year and will be credited with the
following amounts in next years tax
bills: Town of Beloit, So, 707. SO; town
of Bradford, $685.. So; town of Clinton,
9IOO.Uo, COWH VI ulIOn, P0O0.0A, Town
of Johnstown, $618.46; town of La
Prairie, $22. 33; town of Newark, ST.
400. SO; town of Porter, $485.85: town
of Rock, 1888. 80; town of Spring VAL
ley, $61O.72; town of Union, $578. IS;
city of Evansville, $216.02.
The muddle as we understand it came
about through the county equalizing
committee accepting the figures sent
down by the tax commission as the
proper apportionment of taxation to
be adopted. The commission fell down
by using the sales of real estate as a
basis for figuring the equalization. If
our highest authority on taxation
makes as bad a mess as this with all
the experts at their command, the in
efficiency of the commission is pretty
we'll demonstrated and they have out
grown their usefulness.

No PROPHET is needed to interpret
the real meaning of the republican
meeting held in the court house last
Saturday, or explain the outpouring OF
people. The convention, like similar
gatherings that have been held in many
places throughout the state, speaks for
itself. Saturday was busy time for
business men and farmers alike. The
day was extremely warm, yet almost
without solicitation republicans came in
delegations from all parts of the county
and filled the court house almost to suf-
location. All who could get into the
room were there when the convention
was called to order, and they remained
almost to man until the convention
adjourned. And it was a representa-
tive gathering. Business man and
farmer, young man and old, stood Shout
der to shoulder There was that keen
interest and enthusiasm that has been
so lacking for some years past. Diff
