The we'll and pump in the court
house yard cost about three hun
dred and fifty dollars. At that
time there were those in Grainer
county who predicted that this
enormous" appropriation of the
"peepul's money would bust the
county" When the Jail was built
at a cost of about fie thousand
dollars, another howl went up and
the county again went broke.
Next came the new Court house,
costing twenty-five thousand bucks
and this was the limit. The good
county of Granger once more
gave up the ghost, financially.
and to this good day, one may hea,
it said that the court house has
not been paid for, when in fact
the last installment on the debt
was paid ten ears ago, two years
before it became due. And then
came the pike road bonds-"this
was the most unkindest cut of
ALL and the poor, tax ridden
county died again, harder than
ever before. Now we are told that
when the quarterly court voted
to give eighteen thousand dollars
to aid in the construction OF
school buildings, it sent the tax
payers again to financial perdi.

is no cause for alarm. Just keep
cool The only mistake made was
that the school appropriation
should have been voted first. Had
it been, the county would have
been better prepared to pay the
other appropriations just men

On the first Thursday in August
next, the voters of Granger coun-
ty will elect the sheriff. a tax as
SCISSOR and a tructee. Also. men,
bers of the school board and con-
stables will be named for the sew
en- districts. No doubt at an early
date the majority party in the
county will nominate candidates
either in a primary or a conven-
ton. The pot is just beginning to
simmer and will doubtless reach
the boiling point within a short

The assessment law enacted by
the last legislature is a step to-
ward correct assessment of all
the states resources. While he
masse seem to see it otherwise,
yet there is no question but that
an increased valuation of property
means a lower rate of taxation.
With less han two million dollars
assessed, Granger County'h pro-
perry is worth more than eight
million. Then, if the assessed val
uation is one-fourth the actual
value, the rate when the new law
is applied will be ouly onefourth
the present figureh, or about 90
cents. Low assessments and high
rateh are a poor advertisement
for any county. The law also I'm
dertakeh to equalize the property
ashessments. Under the old law
as applied in u county. the bur-
den of taxation rests, compare
lively, upon the shoulders Of the
man with a hmall farm. and. nat
urally, with a small income. Not
until all property is assessed at
lbs actual cash value will the big
ma and the little man hhare
equally in the expenses Of the
state and county.
