PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA,

A!SM."Ui:.T, IH7.
Tlie annual a'es-ment oi the cou.-.ty
will show ar increase over ast year,
whic-.U viIJ demonstrate the value ot rail
road.s even to their most determined
enemies. V"e are toll that the vole of
the A xscs.ors.at their meeting thi week,
plain the valuation of land in this pre
cinct at loo per cent over the valuation
last year. We did not learn '.he estimate 1
value of the southern precin'.fs, but
pose they w'll lJ advanced proportional
ly, not so high as here, hut that they
will all be advanced from '2o to 0 per
cent. Add to this the incrca-e of settle
ments, the in flux ofcapi'al, and the val
ue of improvements!, and wo think the
valuation of the entire county will come
pretty closely t- $-LX).0h. We hope
the Assessor will bear in mind the circu
lar lately i.vmed by the Slate Auditor, and
their own oaths. The real value tdiould
be ascertained by all moans.
X C05FTK ACT WITH A C'O.VIUTIOX !
It appears that while tho contractors
on the Midland l'aeiric It. It. nr.; bound
to complete the construction of that rail- t
way in one yearfiom the Tlth of May, j
1SI1P-, there is a 'Ymi ''' attached
whereby the contractors 'Vt-i.V not be
vompdled to famish tlie iron ami equip
rtfuts for slid ro'ul up til thr said niort
fart' IhuhIx xcdl m il for 70 crati on the
dollar." This sentence, so full of mean
ing, occurs in the t oitdilion whu-h pro
viocs for the issuance an 1 payment of
mortgage bonds. We are sorry to as
certain this fact, s it cripples the pros
pects of the road, and will be injurious
to the interests, not only of tlie termini
of the road, but also to thoso gentlemen
who undertook to secure the building of
the road. To draw it mildly, ii ii ex
ceedingly unfortunate.
THE IN't'O.IIK TAX KO;i 1B.
Under the laws .-f the I'nited State? it
is the duty of (irty j-rr.ion on or before
the first day of March in each ye.ir, to
make a return of his income, gains and
profita to the Assistant .- sor of the
District wherein he reside. As all of j
the Assessor's Districts in Nebraska
c-omprise everal counties, it is as a mat
ter of course impossible for them to trav
el all over their district by the time spe
cified ; but. we are informed that Dc.
ltonner, the Assisstant Assessor for
Otoe and Cass counties will be here on
Monday next and in readiness to receive
the income ret un.s during business hours
until Saturday Much lth at the office
D. II. Wheeler & Co.
Kvery person failing to make Fuch re
turns during the next week will be liable
1 be assessed by the Assistant Assessor
according to the l est information which
he can obtain ; and in such ease the As
sessor will add fifty per cent to the
amount of the tax and for the valuation
and enumeration so made there can be i.o
appeal.
Any person re'using or i.cieei'n. t-
make return or who bhall deliver to the
assessor any false or fraudulent list, or
statement, with intent to defeat or evade
tiki valuation or enumeration required
hy law, is also liable to a criminal pro
secution. TUT. ESIMKRATIOS,
We have a law on our statutes which
empowers and rr-jiiire the Commis
pioners of every county in the State to
cithc the precinct assessors of their re
spective counties to make a careful enu
meration, but for some reason or other
without reason, our commissioners, act
ing under the advice of certain parties
hsive refused to obey the law in this
county. There is no choice f r them in
this matter.- They must obey the law.
If the Commissioners set the example
to their fellow citizens of defying the law
they 5ict unlawfully an .1 should be held
to a strict accountability.
We have not the time to-d y to dis
cuss the question to its legitimate re
sults, but wc hold that neither the Com
missioners nor any of the county officers
should set so flagrant an exatnp'o of dis
obedience to law r.s they have in this in
stance. At no time in the history of
this State would the enumeration of its
inhabitants prove of such incalculable.
advantage as this very spring. With
but little additional labor the assessors
could have furnished nn exact return of
all our inhabitants, but without cau-e '
and without reason Cas County has been
made a stumbling block to a correct enu
meration. Wo call the attention of he
people of Cae.s to this uir.variantabie as
sumption, on tlie part of our . ounty au
thorities, to the end that if they have
any reason, it may be bsvuht forth,
and that they show cause why I hoy re
fuse to obey the law in this in-fanee.
All the blanks for the ei.uutciation are
in their possession, why have they not
caused the assessor to cany out the law ?
Who is responsible for this conduct
who were the advisers of the Commis-
-.a tf W1 .Ki r I
