Messrs. Charles Mathis and Hill
Thornton returned to the city Thurs
day morning after ten days tour OF
central Florida. They state that bust
ness conditions in Florida are only
fair at present, but promise to be eX-
ceptionally good in a month or so.
Nearly all the citrus growers say they
have a bumper crop and that prices
will be good.

AND
OUR WEATHER
By Prof. G. R. Petite

Our prediction last December that
most of the farm work would be done
in May this season generally over the
northwest, and in answer to numerous
inquiries that farm operations would
not begin before April 18TH, is being
fully verified and we look for consid-
cradle cold nights and raw chilly
winds for some time yet.
The storm periods for March and
April were well accounted for in most
parts of the country but of course
with the minimum amount of precipi-
tation in these regions.
The remaining storm periods for
April are central the 22nd., and 9th.
The storm periods for May are CEN
trail the 3rd, 9th, 18th, goth, 25th, and
31st. The combinations for the 3rd,
are weak but for the 9th, a little
stronger also for the 18th and 10th,
which are probably the only periods
that will develop any precipitation
here and these look light. There will
probably be pretty warm weather
around the middle of May as the
Earth, Sun, Mercury and Jupiter will
be nearly in line at this time, watch
and see.
We look for a cool growing season
and quite general rains from about
June 5h, to July 8th.

HONOR SYSTEM OF
ASSESSING SHOWS WHO ARE
THE HONEST TAXPAYERS

In better than so per cent of the
assessments coming from the country
these honest tOilers and tillers of the
soil have increased their personal
property and improvements assess
ments at least 40 per cent, and very
few assessments are below the
amounts turned in in 1922.
However, now that the assessors
force has had time to start in check
ing up on the city valuations an alto
gether different story is found in re-
gard to at least so per cent of these
citizens, as they have cut and left
out at least so per cent of the prop
erty which they We're assessed for in
1922. Most of them have reduced the
value of their improvements at least
so per cent and some of them have
reduced them as much as three hum
dred per cent, and this when they
have been put on their HONOR to
turn in their property at full and
true value.
In view of this fact the County As
SCISSOR says that unless these same par
ties show up and make an honest ac-
counting for this enormous difference
in valuations it will be necessary for
him to make a personal investigation
and in such instances he will assess
the difference between the true value
and the value which has been turned
/ into his Office at ten times the actual
value. If these men think they can
get away with any crOokedness In re-
porting their assessments they will
! find that they are badly mistaken.
There is another clas Of town peo-
pie who seem to be very conscientious
about it and seem willing to turn II
everything they have. One person
reported under Miscellaneous articles
Children's Toys S1500." Another re.
ported "Half a dozen silver plated
knives and forks $780," In spite Oi
this fact if the numerous tax dOdg
ers which have been located by the
County Assessor and which are town
residents, should be allowed to es
/ cape paying their just share of taxes
the town values would dePTeciate in
stead of increase. They are known
to the Assessor and before they ar,
through with the Assessor they viii
7 wish they had turned in everything
thev had at full and true values
) Some of them are already realizin|
} this and are calling or writing tn
Assessor to "Kindly correct my AS
sessment" and this is willingly done

WHAT THE DOCTORS
GOT In MARCH

To the business man who in these
depleted times, who is putting in
his time, keeping the sheriff from his
door. to the farmer who was unable
to pav his magnificent taxes for the
past two years, and who has read the
notice of sheriff's sale on his farm
during the past several months, and
has watched his children go shiveTing,
half clad to school to the actual
worker who is creating the wealth of
this county and lives in hOvel, 1t
will be interesting reading to peruse
what the doctors, the health officers
and the poor doctor pulled out of the
county Golfers for seven or eight
hours work or less during the month
of March, for it will be a variation
to them to know, and very diverting
to their minds, to read of some one
who is making lot of money with
very little work, so we publish here
an itemized report of their drag:
DR. Storkan, March Salary $4,000
DR.. Storkan, March
Fumigating -----------..-----------------S 1898
Storkan, Livery Hire,
20. M. Donaldson ----------------S 1000
DIR. Sells, March Salary ------------S1OO.OO
Nurse Braden, March Salary ---- $500
Total Cost to taxpayers ------------S368.95
1t is a fair estimate to make that
April will cost as much if not more
than March, plus the extra gift of
SIS which Com. Ibsen gave his friend
Sells amounting to 449.95, and costing
Sheridan county about $4,000 per
annum.
For what?
DR.. Hunter offered to give his en-
tire time to this work for $25000 per
month, or at a saving to the county
of S193.95 each month, or yearly
saving of about $240O per year, which
saving could we'll be used for other
purposes and for people who need II
worse than the doctors.
Mr.. Taxpayer! Are you getting
just little bit tired of supporting
these birds?

1t will be observed that Commits
sioner Ibsen, acting as Chairman,
signed and approved his own claim,
and signed his own warrant issued in
Foley's name, and it is reported that
Foley assigned the same to Com. Ib-
sen, which thing is in violation of the
law which prohibits an officer in deal
ing in warrants, and was sold by
Com. Ibsen to local bank.
True Com. Ibsen only broke the law
in the sum of $1,000, and he probably
earned his money-but the law pro-
hibits this very thing and Ibser
knows it. The moral turpitude is just
the same when involving $1,000 as il
is involving $1,000 or $4,000.
The case against Mr. Ibsen seems
to be made.
You taxpayers can think this mat
ter over and form your own conclu
sions as to the honesty, of Homes
Jens Ibsen.
This probably explains the reasoI
why Jens is so reticent about prose
cutting grafters, instead Of his paten
excuse of economy.
Jens is always economical when i
comes to prosecuting grafters an,
thieves, but he is very generous whel
it comes to paying Link mileage, 70
which there may be a reason, an
when it comes to making contract
with doctors and allowing doctor
claims for alleged services.
He can, however, with no guam
of conscience, refuse to pay Jen
GronvOld two months wages at nine
ty dollars per mOnth-money earne
by hard work and which he and hi
family needs badly.
Yes, Jens Ibsen is "as honest as tn
livelong day., if the above is a pei
sons idea of honesty.
