COUNTY VALUED
AT 20 MILLIONS
Board Asked To Lift Equalized
Assessment

Assessment
The report of the equalization
committee was presented to the
board of supervisors at Thurs
days session, but action on the
acceptance Of the report was de-
ferred until Friday.
At the request of the state
equalization board, the equalized
valuation of the county was in
creased from $59,O0O,OO0 to $7O,-
$4,000. Members of the board
state that the increase in the
equalized valuation will not make
much difference in the tax rate
in the majority of the townships,
as last years tax rate was based
on an equalized valuation of
$70,000,000.
In the equalized figures as to-
day presented, practically every
precinct in the county is in
creased about Is per cent in it's
equalized valuation, and in some
of the precincts the increase ex-
ceeds the percentage.
The state tax commission rec
commended that the assessed valu-
alton Of st, Clair couny be placed
at about $94,000,000 but when the
state board Of equalization met
few months ago the represen-
tatives of the board of supervis-
ors succeeded in having the state
equalizing committee place the
equalized value of the county at
SI0.612,000
The report of the equalization
committee of the board of super
visors placed the county equali-
zation value at $70,388,000 which
it is believed will meet with the
approval of the state tax officials,
The report of the committee on
equalization as submitted to the
supervisors is summarized. for
the county as follows: Number
of acres, 1885; real estate as
assessed, S773, ,728,584; personal
as assessed, S10,49S,0s6; total as
assessed, 684,226,670; real estate
as equalized, $59,989,914; person
al S10,498,086; total as equalized,
$70,388,000.
The supervisors instructed the
chairman and secretary of the
board to arrange for the loan of
100000 to meet the current ex-
penses of the county for the COM
ing six months. This loan is
made necessary by the fact that
many property owners are delin-
quent in the payment of their tax
es. The total of delinquent taxes
is estimated at more than 500.
900. The loan will be made on
three notes of $4,000 each.
Thursday noon the supervisors
went to Community park at Good
ellis to inspect the park and hold
an outing.

be asked to take over the Lake
Shore park, now owned by the
county, as a result of action tax
en- last week by the board of sup
ervisors, resolution to that eff
feet having been adopted.
1t was stated that the appro-

improvements to the park, and
that better results could be OBJ
tanned by having the state park
commission take it over. The park
is located on the lake shore few
miles north of Lakeport.

BANNER CROWD ATTENDS AND ALL ENJOY
THE PROGRAM AT DRIVING PARK.

AS per our item in last weeks
EXpositor, "all roads" seemed to
lead to Yale for the Glorious 4th
of July, and by the time the pro-
gram was scheduled to start at
riverside Park, one of the largest
crowds that ever congregated at
this popular sporting place was
assembled to enjoy the afternoon.
1t is roughly estimated that over
1000 people passed through the
gates.
There were plenty of race hors-
es, too, to make every event full of
interest, and every heat was a
race. Below we publish the re-

While the races were going on
the gang who preferred the big
National game were being enter
tanned to it's heart content at the
base ball diamond. opposite the
grand stand. Fargo had its fast
playing bunch of ball tossers here
and they Inundated our home
team to the tune of 6 to 3 with
the aid of a pitcher borrowed
from the disbanded Mohawk
team and an unusually raw UNI
pire, who used to be in great de-
mand when the kids played two
old-cat. The former addition
was sure the most interesting part
of the game. He pitched his team
mates to victory-in fact, with
the exception of two or three
plays made in the garden, he was
the whole thing. And he's nice
clean player, too. The only thing
the, Yale boys can say about the
latter gent is for him to take n
course from some good correspon-
dence school before he gets out
in some game where they hand
out the rough stuff. He's liable
to get hurt some time,
But then, there was not much
more than the usual amount of
rag chewing at these celebration
games. The contest went to the
finish, and everybody got their
moneys worth.
From the interest shown by the
people of this vicinity it will be
safe to wager that the newly
formed racing association will
give us a two or three day meet
some time this fall.

CUT TING OF EXPENSES
is MOST IMPORTANT
JOB OF LEGISLATORS
RuEELlx E. RRuNER

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 1S.-Cut ex.
penses!
Nearly every member Of the Indiana
legislature is coming to Indianapolis
next month with this in view as the
most important thing to come before
the assembly
Every member was asked what they
considered the most important prob
lie to be solved.
Seventy per cent of those who an
swered declared the reduction of ex-
penses and of taxation is the most inn
portant problem. Expenses must be
cut and the burden of taxation removed
from the shoulders of the people, they
declared. Theys insisted there must
be no new legislation that will make
taxes and governmental expenses more
OF burden. The one exception to
this rule in the minds of many was the
soldier bonus.
Second in the list of the most i'm
portant' problems outlined by the legis-
lators themselves are education and
the reduction of the number of gov
ernmental bureaus and departments.
The latter proposal was linked with
the proposal to- cut expenses in most
cases, but other members said they
believed there is too much centraliza-
ton of power in the state government.
Those who stressed education as the
most important subject failed in most
cases to Indicate what changes would
be advocated.
Other Subjects
Other subjects considered by mem
bers to be of paramount Importance
included
l. The repeal or amendment of the
primary election law.
2. The establishment of tax on
gasoline.
9. Adjustment of the public service
commission.
4. Placing motor buses under con
troll OF the public service commission.
5. Taking public schools out of the
hands of township trustees.
6. Amendment of the motor vehicle
license laws.
Z. Enactment of laws regulating
public health.
s. Enactment of highway legisla
ton.
Some of these proposals come up a
every session. Others are new. One
of the principal contests in the las
session was over repeal Of the primary
law. An effort was also made to abol
ish the public service commission
Some of the other proposed measures
are new and some of them it is indi
Gated will have considerable support
Notable among these is the proposed
tax on gasoline. 1t is understood Gov
ernor McCray will recommend this il

A majority of the assembly indicated
that they favor passage of a soldie
bonus. This bill is being backed b,
the Veterans of Foreign Wars AM
other veterans. Most of those VIII
favored the measure were hazy as t.
how the money could be raised ant
many of them said they would be 70

Ring out, wild bells. to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring happy bells, across the snow;
The year IS going. let him go:
Ringout the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the brief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more:
Ring out the feud of rich and poor:
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms OF party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes OF life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and
blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love OF truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes Of foul disease.
Ring out the narrowing lust OF gold
Ring out the thousand wars Of old.
Ring in the thousand years OF peace.
