Assessment Records.
The more one delves into the
assessment records the more
positive becomes the belief that
the constitutional pTovision that
all taxes shall bo uniform is en
tirely lost sight of. This is not
a matter of intent upon the men
doing the assessing, but is a pro
duct of the system. People in
stinctively object to paying a per
sonal tax, and many of them make
no secret of the fact that they do
not report their holdings in full.
The result is that those who make
a complete disclosure are penaliz
ed for their frankness by being
compelled to pay more than their
share of taxes. Real estate ought
to be assessed by men with an ex
pert knowledge of values. Many
unequalities result from the
present plan. Some pay on as
low as 40 per cent of the value of
their realty, while others pay al
most full value. Farm property
is assessed in Lancaster county
at about 60 per cent of its value,
and men on the borders of Cass.
Seward and Otoe counties, who
own property on both sides of the
line, assert that the assessed
valuation in this county is a third
more than in the others. But
there isn't anything you can do
about it under the present laws.

Shears Sheep by Auto.
It is generally supposed that an
automobile is intended lo bo used
exclusively to rido in, but Leo Mc
Coy of Silver City does not think
so, as ho has put his to a differ
ent use. Leo is an expert Bhcep
shearer, but in this age of prog
ress tho old way of running the
clippers by hand is too slow for
him. So ho Jacks tho hind end of
his car off the ground, takes off
a wheel and puts a pully in place
of it, runs a belt from the pully
to a power clipper, starts the
"snort wagon" and can clip the
wool off a sheep before it can
"baa" twice. Lee has sheared his
own sheep and those of John II.
Speer in this manner. Silver
