ASSESSOR URGES RE-
APPRAE|NC OF LANDS

Reappraisment Of the land values
Of Weld County by board Of ap-
praisers under the direction Of the
County Assessor, Is advocated by
County Assessor H. F. Bedford.
Such an appraisment could stand
for a period Of at least four years.
In some states 1t ia used as q basis
for assessment for periods Of 10 years
There might be times. such as we
have experienced this spring with
high water. whom some changes
might te necessary.
"The State Law" says Bedford,
provides that the Assessor shall val
ue all real estate Of the County. In
a county the size Of Weld 1t almost
a physical impossibility for one per-
son to do this. But through board
of appraisers this can be done, and
should be done this fall. The Office
Is collecting data and gathering in
formation preparatory to doing this
work. Once this re-appraisment is
made the field work Of the office can
be done with at least one-thlrd Of
the expense. Not only will It be
saving to the county but believe
the taxpayers themselves will be
better satisfied and the number Of
complaints and petitions for rebate
will be cut to the minimum"
Leading farmers and business
men," SAYS the Assessor, "in all sec
tions Of the county are heartily In
favor of this plan, and are willing
to give considerable Of their time,
without charge, in helping with the
work"

NEED FOR UNIFORMITY
IN BUSINESS LAWS
How Collection Of lust Debts May
Be Prevented by Differing
state Statutes.

An effort to bring about better CO.
ordination and greater uniformity
among state laws dealing with bust.
ness and bankirr Is being made by
the American Bakers Association.
It is pointed out that. although the
country Is q unit commercially, and
citizens Of any one state may do bust.
ness that reaches all over the coun.
try, most laws governing business
transactions are made by the differ
ent states, with application limited
to their own local jurisdictions and
often In conflict with laws In other
states. It is held that state laws
should be uniform SO that the same
transaction will not be subject to
different sets Of rules according as
state laws differ.
To illustrate the disadvantages Of
conflicting laws, the following illus.
tration IL given: Mr.. Jones lives In
New York whore the statute Of limita.
tions outlaws a note In six years. He
falls into the error Of assuming that
the same rule prevails everywhere.
He visits Maryland and loans $1,000
to his friend, Mr.. 1m.tn, taking .
promissory note. As the note carries
interest Mr.. Jtn 5 Is In no hurry for
his money and be believes Smith to
be financially responsible. Finally II
the end Of four years Jones concludes
he has loaned Smith the money long
enough and seeks to collect the note
from him. But Smith can deny liabIl.
ity and point to the statute Of Mary.
land which Jones is surprised to
learn outlaws note after three
years.
Changes Recommended
The particular subjects Of legisla.
ton recommended by the association
for enactment by State legislatures
during 1898 include uniform acts on
negotiable instruments. bills Of lad.
Ing. warehouse receipts. stock trans.
fer, and dducisries.
Under the head Of laws for better
protection Of banks In particular
transactions are proposed measures
dealing with limiting liability on csr.
tiled check; instruments based on
gambling or usurious consideration;
time limit on stop payment: payment
Of stale check: adverse claim to bank
deposit; payment Of forged or raised
check; deposits In two names; de-
posits in trust; competency Of bank
and corporation notaries; non.pay.
msnt Of check through error; Satur.
day afternoon bank transactions, and
forwarding check direct to payof.
Under the Federal Reserve and
foreign banking are recommended
laws on membership Of state institu.
tons In Federal Reserve System, and
foreign banking. Penal laws pro.
posed deal with false statements for
credit; slander and libel Of bank:
checks or drafts without funds, and
burglary with explosives.
