LEGISLATURE will tackle. Gov. Miller Is
expected within the next week to send
to the Legislature a direct primary mes
sage. lie favors the repeal OF many pro-
visions of the present law and the res
toration Of the convention system Of
making nominations of ut least the more
important OF public officials

Charles e. Walton Of Ulster county re-
etoreg conventions for the nomination Of
state aud judicial officials. II is the
same bill that was introduced last year
and backed by the Republican state
organization.
Al the request Of the Citizens Union
Assemblyman Stcnberg Of New York
city to-day introduced ii direct primary
bill based on the committee designating
system for which Gov. Hughes fought In
1919 II is virtually the same as the
famous Hinman-Green bill Of that year.
Walter r. Arndt. secretary Of the Citi-
zens Union, said that the measure is
designed to eliminate many of the most
serious objections 10 the present pri-
mary law and emphasize party response

There is certain to be a stiff fight over
direct primary legislation. The Demo-
Gratis and many Republicans object to
any interference with the present law
while the Citizens Union bill will have
many supporters.

large extra assessment has been made on any property.
 The 22 mill tax rate will be an increase of two mills over last year The 20 mill rate of last year was a mill increase over the Is mill rate of 1919. There was a great deal of discussion by the local property own CTS in 1920 when the mill rate was increased from Is to 20 mills. When told of the probable 22 mill tax rate many of the local taxpayers this morning stated that. in their opinion. it was all right and the people should be willing to accept it. This matter however will he thrashed out at the adjourned town meeting which will be held in A' town hall on the first Wednesday in March.
 The increased valtiation in the town from the assessors report for the 1920 list is in round numbers s4O0,0O which brought the grand list up to s4,224,091. Last year the list was increased from approximately s2,- 800. 900 to- 8, ,S0O,00o. This was an increase of about q million dollars.
 The board of relief will meet from 2 until o'clock in the afternoons of February l, 8. Is and 21 to hear ap- peals from the local taxpayers from the doing Of the assessors for the list of 1920. It is not though that many will make an appeal as most of the property has been assessed for the same as it was last year with few increases.
