COUNTIES MUST PUT
BACK TAX VALUES
Nuckolls County Board One of Several
That Arbitrarily Reduced Total
Valuation of Taxable Property
From Saturday's Daily.
Acting under authority of an opin
ion from Attorney General Davis de
partment the state board of assess
ment and Secretary Dross of the fin
ance department may meet Friday af
ternoon and direct the county board
of Nuckolls county to reinstate the
assessed valuation of property in that
county which the board as a county,
board 0$ equalization arbitrarily
struck from the assessment rolls.
Two opinions from the attorney gen
eral's office have fceen given, the last
by Mason "Wheeler, holding that
countyboards have no power of pro
perty within a county. Such boards
are limited by law to equalization of
values as betveen precincts and in
dividuals. The state board alone
has power to increase or reduce the
total valuation of a county.
Nuckolls county is not the only
county that has reduced total assess
ed valuations. It is likely the state
board will ask counties that have
done this to reinstate the amount
stricken from the assessment rolls.
The state board may either do this
or restore the amount when it equal
izes the assessed valuation of all
counties in the state.
The opinion from the attorney
general was given at the request of
Secretary Dross of the department of
finance. Under the code bill the sec
retary of that department is given
considerable power in dealing with-
Real'Show-Down

out county boards of equalization and
assessors but his valuations are sub
ject to review by the sstate board of
assessment. For the first time there
are two state departments clothed
will assessing power. The secretary
of finance is given power similar to
that exercised in some other. states
by a tax commission, -but the state
board of equalization and assessment
has. the final decision on tax matters.
What the Law Provides.
The powers and duties of county
board, the state board and the secre
tary of finance, are set forth in the
following opinion by Assistant At
torney General Mason Wheeler given
in reply to questions from Secretary
Dross:
"In reply to your request contain--ed
in your letter of July 15, for an
opinion relative tot the action of the
county.board of equalization of Nuck
olls county in attempting to arbi
trarily revise the valuation of realty
in the county by reducing the asses
sor's valuation 20 per cent in four
teen precincts and 30 per cent in two
precincts.
"The power of the county board of
equalization was correctly stated in
the opinion rendered by Judge
Barnes of this department, June 18,
1920, to Mr. W. II. Osborne. The
function of the county board ol
equalization is to adjust the valua
tion as between individuals, classe?
of property and precincts. It has
neither power nor authority to at
tempt to raise or lower the general
valuation of the county. Such is the
function of the state board of equal
ization. The action of the Nuckolls
county board in lowering the valua
tion of two precincts 30 per cent and
the remainder of the county 20 per
cent is clearly an attempt to evade
the law as interpreted in this opin
ion. "Both the state board of equaliza
tion and yourself as secretary of fin
ance, have ample authority to nullify
such action by the county board o'
Nuckolls county.
"Section S4 47 of the revised sta
tutes grants the state board of equal
ization power to increase or decrease
the total assessed valuation of any
county and by so doing may increase
the aggregate valuation of all pro
perty in the state to an amount
greaier than that returned by the
various county assessors, by giving
notice to any county in which pro
perty is under valued and requiring
said county to appear and show cause
why its assessment should not be in
creased. After such hearing, the
state board may increase the valua
tion of such county on a per cen
tum basis to such afigure as will
constitute a just and equitable as
sessment of all state property. Such
notice should be served on the
county clerk, county assessor and
chairman of the county board of
equalization, at least five days before
the hearing.
The state board may adjust valua
tion as between counties without
such a hearing, providing that the
adjustment does not increase the ag
gregate valuation of the return from
all conuties.
"Section I, article IV, title I, chap
ter 190 of the laws of 1919, grants
the secretary of finance power and
authority.
"(1) Investigate the methods of
local assessors and county boards of
equalization in the assessment ,equal
ization and taxation of all property.
"(2) To require any county
board of equalization to make such
orders as the secretary shall dem
just and necessary" to order and di
rect ant' county board of cqualira
tion to raise or lower the valuation
of any classes of property and to do
and perform any act or to make any
order or direction to any county
board of equalization as to the valu
ation of any class of property in any
county which in the judgment of the
paid secretary of finance may, seem
just and necessary.
"(3) To exercise general super
vision over county boards of equali
zation, with the power to require as
sessors and boards to assess all pro
perty at one-fifth of its actual mar
ket value under penalty of forfeiture
and removal from office. Such pro
ceedings on the part of the secretarq
are subject to review by the state
board of equalization. "

perience with Doan's Kidney Pills
up to a couple of years ago. . I used
to have attacks when my back
would be so lame and weak it both
ered me a great deal to be around
on my feet. My kidneys would be
disordered at times, too, and I felt
miserable and had no ambition. A
member of my family who had used
Doan's Kidney Pills with - good re
sults advised me to try them and I
did so with the . best of results. In
a short time I felt like a different
woman. I get Doan's at Fricke &

ionally when I get tired in my back
and they always quickly relieve .me."

HARDING WORKS HARD
TO FINISH HIS SPEECH
Ck 0. P. Candidate to Accept Nom
ination in Fewer Words Than
Customary.
Marion, O., July 15. -Another full
work day, beginning at 8 o'clock and
stretching into the evening, was giv
en by Senator Harding today of his
speech of acceptance of the' republi
can nomination for president. To
night only the final touches remained
to be added before the manuscript
could be given to the printer.
The candidate put in one of the
most arduous days in the two weeks
since he returned to Marion, which
itself has been the busiest period he
has seen In years.' He turned aside
from the speech only once or twice
to dispose of urgent correspondence,
and he abbreviated his lunch period
and hurried through the brief daily
conference with his local managers.
The acceptance speech is expected
to be shorter than most addresses of
that character, occupying less than
four printed columns. The senator
hopes to have it ready by tomorrow
night for distribution in confidence
to the newspapers, and then after
Sunday's rest he will turn his atten
tion to other features of his cam
paign. Marion began to dress up today for
the notification. Foundations were
laid for a long court of honor made
of decorated wooden pillars and arch
es to stretch along Mount Vernon
avenue, on which the Haraings live.
At Garfield park, where the notifi
cation ceremonies will be held, paint
ers and carpenters are making over
the county fair auditorium, while the
city's whole commercial machinery,
from hotels to sandwich stands, is
overhauling on an undreamed " of
scale. Entertainment officials esti
mate that the number of visitors will
exceed 50,000. .
What to Do When Bilious
Eat no meals and lightly of other

Tablets to cleanse out your stomach
and tone up your liver. Do this and
within a day or two you should be

SPENT SAVINGS
OF A LIFE TIME
Searched for Relief from Rheuma
tism for Two Years Re
stored by Tanlac.
"It's a fact, I have not been able
to hit a lick of Work in two years,
but since taking Tanlac I have been
restored to complete health and am
feeling so fine I "am going back to
my old job -again," said Edward Ca
nute of 282 Girard avenue, North,
Minneapolis, Minn., recently.
"About two years ago, the rheuma
tism got the best of me and laid me
out completely and I had to give up
all work. The rheumatism was all
over my body, but it was worst in
my shoulders, arms, back, neck and
legs. My arms and shoulders pain
ed me just about all the time and
the muscles became so sore and stiff
that at times I was unable to raise
my hands to my head. Why, of morn
ings, it was all I could do to dress
myself. My back hurt me so that it
was agony for me to stoop down or
even bend over. Sometimes my legs
were swollen so I could hardly walk,
in fact, every move I made caused
me intense suffering. I could get no
ease either standing up, sitting down
or lying down and I don't remember
getting a single good night's rest
during the past two years. I was al
most helpless and was in pain of
some kind all the time and I knew I
couldn't hold out much longer. Noth
ing I tried did me any good and I
spent the savings of a life-time, but
it was all money thrown away.
"When I commenced taking Tan
lac I couldn't see how it could do me
much good after everything else had
failed, but I soon changed my mind
for it was only a few days until I
felt my pains easing up. In all I
took five bottles of Tanlac, and it's a
fact, I actuallly believe the rheuma
tism has left me for good, for I
never feel a sign of it. The swelling
has all gone from my legs and the
stiffness has left my joints and mus
cles and I haven't a pain of any kind.
I am stronger and more active than
I have been in many years and I am
feeling so fine I can't tell I ever had
any rheumatism at all. I am going
back to my old work again and I
wouldn't lake anything in the world
for the good Tanlac has done me."
