real aad personal property. - .
It the suggestion of one or two of tha
member, is acted upon, there will be a
meeting ot the as seniors with the exchange
before the work of these county representa
tives begins, and at thlt meeting the as
sessors will be told what is expected of
them by the exchsnge snd the most glaring
faults of their predecessors will be shown
as an illustration of what the exchange ob
jects to in the way of assessments. Some
expressions ot members ot the exchange are
here given:
John 8. Knox, Vice President of the Ex
change I think that the position, of The
Bee la well taken. I think that the assess
ments should be equalised, and for that pur
pose I would request each assessor of the
county to meet with the exchsnge on some
day between now and the time they start to
work. At that meeting I would show the
assessors wbst has beta done in the way
ot assessments In some of ths precincts,
particularly In the matter of corporation
assessments, and J. would dlscusa the ques
tion especially with those ' assessors who
have that class ot property within their
districts. We would then be certain that
the assessors know where the trouble lies
and that they could not plead ignorance
should they desire-to do so. I believe that
the assessors deslrs to do the right thing
and no one man is responsible tor the pres
ent condition. The work of assessing Is
difficult and the assessors should have as.
tlstancs and encouragement. When the
matter Is csHed directly to their attention
we may look for better things.
Caaaty Asaeaaaaeat Iaeqaltable.
H. W. Shrlver, Secretary of the Exchange
I think the matter should be taken up.
We had a committee appointed to look Into
the comparative standing and records of the
vsrlous assessors nominated last fall, but 1
remember no report having been made. As
I understand It, there Is relatively as much
discrimination in the ttats and county as
sessments between real and personal prop
erty aa there it in the city assessments.
Ths assessments which ars too low should
be raised and the whole matter equalised.
I do not know how this It going to be done,
but tome way thould be devised.
George H. Payna I certainly believe that
the exchange should take the matter up.
We could have a meeting with the assessors
and it would probably do much good. It
certainly could do no harm.
D. V. Sholet I believe that matter should
be attended to on election day and none
but competent and honest men chosen to
the office.. People cannot plead ignorance as
to ths character of assessors, ss the district
from which they are elected Is so small
that a man can easily learn the kind of
men that have been nominated. If we wlect
good assetiori there would be no reason for
Instructing them In their dutled. The prea
ent assessors may all be honest and compe
tent men' but It would do no harm to meet
and talk matters over.
H. T. Clarke The great trouble It that
assessors are considered by tome corpora.
tlona and tome Individuals, too, aa articles
of commerce. Some may command a good
price and tome give themselves away for a
song. I have knovtt such cases. Every
man .is at heart a tax dodger. He cannot
hide his real estate, and many who pay
large sums at tax upon rtal ettate, know.
Ing that they are paying more than they
thould under a Just system ot tsxatlon, be
lleve that they art only recovering some ot
their own money when they pay too little
pon their personal property. Others, own
Ing no real estate, see the figures and say
that in proportion their personal property
thould be assessed at a certain amount.
and so the unjust assessment Is continued.
Whst we need Is a tet of assessors who will
disregard previous assessments and use
their own Judgment.
Kidney complaint kills more people than
any other disease. This Is due to the dls
esss being so Insidious that It gets a good
hold on ths system before It is recognised.

Heavy Hair
A great many people want
long, heavy hair; but how to
get it, that is what puzzles
them.
The fact is, the hair needs
a little help now and then.
The roots require . feeding.
When the hair is starved, it
stops growing, loses its lus
ter, falls out, turns gray.
Ayer s Hair Vigor is a hair
help. It feeds the hair. The
hair grows, stops falling out,
and all the gray hairs are re
stored to the natural color.
Yoar Hair Vigor ia certainly wonderful. It
has made a great improvement in my hair, re
storing it to its natural color and promoting a
sew growth." -Emma Caldk. New York City.
