days ago Judge Turner. the democrat
ic candidate for United States senator,
lauded the vacilating tactics Of Presi-

lack of policy, and warmly commended
him for keeping the country out of

take when his condemnation Of the
lamented President Mckinley, at the
time of the breaking out OF the Spanish
American war, is taken into cOnsid-
Grafton. At that time Judge Turner was
serving as a democratic United States
senator. and he was vehomently shout

The last valuation represents the
present ADMINISTRATORS re-classifica-
ltion work; the former values, previous
assessors.
For the further information of those
interested will say that reduction of
approximately rs per cent was made
for the north side Of Oroville, while q
larger reduction was made for the
south side purely on a merited basis.
In fact the entire town, as all towns,
received the most careful attention
this year and an earnest effort was
made to give each town and in fact
leach lot a square deal. Please note the
approximate reduction Of AZ per cent
|forelot OF course you will appreciate
|also, that the assessor has absolutely
inc jurisdiction over the levies, ind
therefore cannot legitimately be held
accountable for high or low taxes.
Reasonable values are the extent of
the assessors duties.
In closing will say that where JUS
|tice is measured out there can be no
discord, and with kind personal re-
CARDS and best wishes, I beg to remain,
Very truly yours,

LETTER OF EXPLANATION.

This office is in receipt of the follow
ing letter from G. H. KnosLer, the
present assessor and the gentleman
who will do the assessing fer the next
tive years. When men :ioa was ma !u in
these columns of The remarkable in
crease Of taxation on Il vacant lot In
this tow? we felt confident that a mis-
take hah Teen mad It seems that we
were mistaken. No mistake was made
The increase of taxation was the re-
suit of increased assessment, and the
steady and shocking increase of tax
levy, Notwithstanding the increase of
valuation. Mr. Knosher was in no way
responsible for either the increase
assessment or increase levy. That re-
|sponsibility rests on the shoulders of
former assessors and the board of
county commissioners. And while We
are upon the subject we desire to es-
Ipecially call the attention of the tax
payers to the steadily increased tax
levy. 1t is enough to take ones breath
away, and it is only question of time
until 1t will take about every mans
property away. A jump from Al mills
in 1910 to 81 mills in 1915, with the
assessment of the county probably
doubled, Is eOnugh to give one pause.
There has not been an increase in pop
ulation or business in the county to
justify such an increase bill of ex-
penses requiring the raising by tax
alton of so vast sum as was collected
under the last tax levy. This whole
taxation is a text for sermonizing, but
let Mr.. Knosher present the cold facts
and the reader can draw his own con-
clusions:
| September %, 1916.
Mr.. F. NJ. Dallam,
| Editor Oroville Gazette.
Dear Sir:-Referring to the item in
your late issue, pertaining to the
seemingly unwarranted increase in
taxes and more particularly as in tEs
case of lot 6, block 6, during the years
1910 to 1915, the writer is compelled tC
make the following comment. Please
understand that there is no desire on
1.-THE part Of the writer to reflect dis
|credit or criticism upon the former
assessors, neither a desire to justify
the fluctuation of assessed values as
prevailed during the said years. Fur
thermore. there is no desire to rush
vindicative lines. A plain statement OF
facts, however may be appreciated by
those most interested:

The Brewster Review states that it
cost NJ. B. Howe $3S1.75 in his CAM
paign for Joint senator, and that J. w.
Faulkner spent only 1922, inteding
the statement of expenses as reflec-
ton upon Mr.. Howe. The Review failed
to state that Faulkner had no OPPOSE
ton upon his ticket, and hence was not
forced to go to the expense of cam
paigning. Furthermore the Review
failed to state that Faulkner, either
through intent or ignorance-and in
