The assessment roll will be pub
lished if my budget will permit of
such an expense as soon as possible
after all assessments have been re-
ceived at this Office, and every tax
payer will receive a copy of this list
This will enable you to tell exactly
what each person is assessed for and
the values he or she turned in for
same. Should you find any incor-
rect report there, or values too low
it becomes your duty to report to this
office SO that a re-assessment car be
made. All such information will be
treated strictly confidential.
Also, if anyone has moved into
your ne~ighborhood since last spring
or has personal property which you
think may escape taxation, l am
asking you to please send me the
name and address, and section, town
ship and range on which such person
resides, so that I might look them
up and make an assessment. This
will also be considered confidential.
This assessment roll will include
all city and country assessments of
personal property with each article
itemized as to number and value,
such as horses, cattle, farm imple-
ments, merchandise, household fur
%niture, automobiles, store fixtures,
ETC., also farm lands and city lots
will be listed where there are i'm
~provements on it.
The assessment list will be mailed
to you on the first Monday of March
and the limit for making returns is
ten days so let me urge that you
make a return as this will save in
convenience to you and will, at the
same time be an accommodation to the
assessor and relieve us of the nee
essity of making an estimate of your
property, as the law provides that
must when returns are not made.
According to Sec. 2033 of the Re-
vised codes, any properly willfully
concealed, removed, transferred or
misrepresented by the owner or ag-
ent thereof to evade taxation, upon
discovery must be assessed at not ex-
ceeding ten times it's value and the
assessment so made not to be re-
duced by the Board of County Com
missioners.
I hope the taxpayers will realize
the need of the assessor getting
every dollars worth of assessable
property in the county and coop
crate with me in every respect.
L. M. CLAYTON,
County Assessor.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO


After carefully considering the
different systems one might use in
assessing this county, I have decided
to use the "Honor System" which
will be a saving to every taxpayer
In order that this might be a success
the assessor must have the co-opera-
ton of every taxpayer in the county
along with it. In doing this you are
only doing justice to yourself as well
as your neighbor. An equal distri-
button of the tax burden is one of
the greatest present needs in gov
eminent, and this may be brought
about to a great extent, so far as
Roosevelt county is concerned, by
the cooperation of the tax payers
with the assessor towards putting
every dollars worth of property on
the tax roll.
By the adoption of the "Honor
System in making returns, I feel
that a very great economy can be
accomplished by the decrease of our
field force, and with which the pub
LEGATION of the assessment roll fits
in nicely as a check upon these who
seek to evade a portion of the taxes
which should be assessed to them.

REAL BOYS YEAR IN
SIGHT FOR CLUB WORK

Many boys are lining up for club
work this year and the way appli-
cations are coming in it looks as
though this will be a real boys
year. The three Barnier boys, Clar-
ence, Edmond and Joseph, of Balm
vile, are the first to make applica-
ton and they are entering in corn,
hogs and latter on in sheep club
work and it is evident that if they
stay with their club work the way
the successful ones in the past have
they will develop a real farm bust
ness and profitable enterprise by the
time they get a little older.
Boys club work has developed so
many real farmers in Roosevelt
county, especially along the corn and
pig lines, and has been a source of
not only stimulating the development
of these stable diversified products
but also has been a foundation for
some of the best hog breeding stock
and best seed corn in the county
and in a number of cases the hog
club member has demonstrated to
his parent a profitable paying bust
ness that he had not before been
aware of.
Boys Lead the Way
The Boys club leads the way to
orn and hog production in Roose-
welt county; 1900 acres of corr in
1924, and "a carloads of hogs put
IN the market during the fall and
winter shipping season.
With the addition of poultry and
sheep clubs it is hoped to achieve
much in the development of these
farm ~by-product cash makers and
thus put Roosevelt county toward
a better agricultural county. Any
boy who wants to enter a corn, pig
SOW and litter, sheep or poultry club
a get information and an appli-
cation from the county agent.
