dent Of public instruction. The total

ONE MAN COM MISSION.

NO better argument could be fOunC
for a one man tax commission thar
the opening paragraph of the house
committees report on the present
body. 1t finds:
"Your committee learned that
the work Of placing such proper.
ty upon such assessment rolls is
nearly all done by the secretary
of the commission, the chief
clerk and n stenographer. The
cost of this part of their busi-
ness amounts to the sum of 3d.
958.69. It is very plain that lit
tie time was devoted to placing
property upon the assessment
rolls.
Can anyone imagine a more serious
indictment of the present commission
than these findings. 1t is mere SUD.
terfuge to contend that the members
OF the commission spend their time
in defending tax suits and gathering
statistics.
The house report shows that the
tax commission has spent most of its
time on matters only incidental to
taxation business of the state. A tax
commission is supposed to employ
most of its time in disclosing taxable
property. This duty, it seems, has
been left to the secretary. a chief
clerk and enc stenographer.
There is nothing in the house or
senate reports to justify three tax
commissioners for North Dakota.
When it is admitted in the house re.
port that one mar can do the work.
why three?
Practically all the property claim
ed to have been added to the rolls by
the tax commission would have found
it's way there without the efforts of
the present tax commission. Many
county auditors have declared that
property claimed to have been added
to the assessment rolls by the COM
mission was either on the rolls then
or about to be added through the &C.
tion of the local taxing authorities.
Much of the property added by the
tax commission is now a subject of
litigation, with prospects of little of
it standing the fire of the courts.

GOATS. Eliminating guesses By coun.
ty auditors and deducting evenue
claimed to have been created by the
tax commission, but which would
have found its way naturally to the
tax rolls, the commission has been a

point of dollars and cents.
While the reports are without rec
concentrations. they show clearly
that a one man tax commission can
perform as effectively and more eco
nOmically the work of three commits

Must Accompany Regiments.

It is not generally known that
clergy who have accepted British
army chaplaincies in time of peace
cannot refuse to accompany their
regiments when On active service,
however strong the claims of their
parishes may be, The bishop Of Lon
don has been criticized for his readi-
ness to leave his diocese for six weeks
to accompany the London Rifle bril-
gade wherever they may be sent, but
he really has no choice in the matter,
having accepted the chaplaincy. If
he refused he would be liable to ar
rest and trial by court-martial.

The determination on the part OF
Town Council of Milford to stop wagons
loaded with fish from standing upon the
business streets of Milford for hours at a
time, is all right; but it brings up the
suggestion that a fresh fish market
which can be flushed once or twice each
day is needed badly in the town. Captain
Murphy has established fish market in
Jumps Block, North Milford. where
they can be had at all times, but fish
market over the river at Walnut Street
Bridge would solve the problem.
