Ntidcd Reforms.
F.cgesi City, May 6th. 188a
Editor Guard: In last week's is
sue we suggested some thoughts how to
stop tome of the big leaks in our county
taxes. The fact in evident to every
fair mind, that tho clerks and sheriffs
are paid too much according to the la
bor done, and the only remedy is to es
tablish salaries, pay them according to
the labor done like any business man,
and require them to collect all foes ia
civil cases, recording deeds, mortgages,
dec., and pay tho same into the county
treasury. This will save thousands of
dollars every year to almost every
county in the State. It would not
only saves thousands of dollars each
year to the taxpayers, but it would ef
fectually prevent this great struggle in
tho different counties in both political
parties for the nomination of clerk or
sheriff, and would take away the great
inducement for corruption to secure
these fat offices. The objection is
urged by some that if the clerks and
sheriffs were given salaries instead of
foes they would not perform the labor
required of them, but would become
lazy, negligent and allow important
matters to go undone. That matter
could easily bo remedied; the law could
be made so that .any carelessness or
negligenco on the part of tho officer,
would work a forf.ture of his office.
That would always spur him up to do
his duty. But there are plenty of men
who would do their duty, just the same
as they do now, Let every representa
tive vote for a law tliat will stop
these big leaks in our county taxes and
men can be easily found to fill tho offi
ces who will faithfully perform all tho
duties imposed.
Another important matter directly
connected with the people needs legis
lation, and that is the assessment of
property and collection of taxes. The
present law in many instances is un
equitable and unjust; besides the ma
chinery of law, so to speak, is not what
it ought to lie. At present an assessor
is elected in each county at each cleo
tion, and ho is required to make an
assessment of all tho property in his'
county. To do that it requires from
six to seven months, and ho is neces
sarily compelled to travel from four to
six thousand miles to perform the la
bor. Any one roust seo that ho cannot
perform the labor required but imper
fectly. It is almost impossible for him
to liecomo perfectly acquainted in every
part of the county, bo that he can make
a fair and equal assessment'of the prop
erty, especially in tho country. His
work is so vast to be done in a limited
time it must of necessity, be crude, im
perfect and unequal. And then the
valuation of all the property in tho
county is left to the judgment of one
man, who is unacquainted with the ac
tual value of very much of the prop
erty, and cannot bo acquainted with
the circumstances of each man as ho
should. There is another serious ob
jection to our present system of assess
ing property, and that is this: by the
sjuteKHments made now. some counties
do not pay their fair proportion of the
state taxes. The county assessors are
instructed when they commence the as
sessment by the county court of some
counties to put tho land down low, aud
the Court will add a few more mills for
county purposes, and thereby the State
will be wronged out of thousands of
dollars, and the county that ha been
assessed as it should will pay more than
it fair proportion of State taxes. For
instance, the assessor in Marion county
is instructed to assess the good wheat
land in that county for $10 and $15
per acre, when the land is actually
worth $30 and $40 per acre, and the
assessor of Lane county being unin
structed assesses the same kind of land
in this county at $20 and $25 per acre;
by tliat measure Lane county is made
to pay very nearly double it propor
tion of the state tftxes. And there is
no power to prevent it This is unequal,
unfair and ought to be amended by all
mean.
There is another evil or leak in the
collection of taxes. After the assess
ment roll is turned over to the sheriff
for collecting he ha until April
1st, when he is required to return a
delinquent list, and then long a he
is so pleased to let them go uncollected, I
and some timet he ia pleased to let
them go for a year, especially when an
election is at hand, and he ia a candi
date. Now tho Sheriff cannot be all
over these large counties and watch
every man and hence a great many
transient or loose men, and soiuo who
should .pay tax slip out of the
county and do no not pay a ceut of
taxes. Tho counties lco hundreds and
thousands of dollars this way; and not
only lose tho amount of taxes, but they
are compelled to pay the State taxes
on these delinquent who slip away in
various ways without paying a cent.
This is a big leak and ought to be
stopped.
And how shall these evils bo reme
died? We answer by amending the
law on assessment, collection of taxes,
and instead of haviig one man to mako
the assessment, and one man to col
lect the taxes, let tho county court of
each county appoint a good, competent
man in each voting precinct in
tho county to assess all the property in
tho precinct; and also appoint a good
and competent man in each precinct to
collect the tax in the precinct Let
the law bo made so tliat the precinct
assessors aro required to moct annually
on the first Monday in March, to equal
ize the valuation of all personal prop
erty, cattlo, horses, sheep, k&, and ro
ceive from the county clerk blanks for
making the assessment rolls; when equal
ized the precint assessor to make and
return to tho county clerk the asess
rucnt of their precinct by tho first Mon
day in June, and require the clerk to
make a copy of tho same and return
tho assessment rolls to the precinct col
lector by the first Monday ,in Septem
ber. The precinct colloctor before re
ceiving the assessment roll should be
required to give a good and sufficient
bond, to be approved by the county
judge, to pay the taxes over to the
county treasurer promptly, as collected.
The law should roquire the precinct
collector to collect and pay over all the
taxes collectable by the first Mon
day in November, r.nd at the same time
return his delinquent list The
county court at its session in Novem
ber should be authorized to issuo a war
rant to tho precinct collectors requiring
them to oollect all delinquent taxes in
their precinct by law and sale of prop
erty, and make a full return of the
same by tho first Monday in January.
The taxes by this plan can all be col
lected and paid into the county treas
ury by the first Monday in January, at
a less expense than they are now, and
the counties would save hundreds and
thousands of dollars in delinquent tax
es that are lost now. A precinct asses
sor would lie a better judge of the value
of the land in his precinct than a
county assessor, and would know more
men's business than the county assess
or and hence be better qualified to
make tho assessment Tho precinct
collector would watch every man in his
precinct and none would escape paying
taxes.
But Mr. Editor, this art'e'o is get
ting too long, and I must beg your in
dulgenco in the next week's issue to fin

up another equally important to the

Aaron McKenny, who died recently
in Maine at tho ago of one hundred
and two years, was a most remarkable
example of vigorous health and conser
vatism. He was able to take care of
himself to the very last Up to a
few weeks before his death he shaved
himself and chopped his own wood. He
knocked down a man who had suggest
ed the appointing of a guardian for
him, which brought on his first lawsuit
wherein he acted as his own counsel,
earnestly defending himself. He hod
never been out of the town of Saco save
on one occasion, when he followed a
horse-thief into New Hampshire and
caught him. He had never been on a
railroad train, and had never sent or
received a telegraphic despatch. He
had never tasted liquor, except at some
patriotic celebration like the 4th of
July, which he always obwrved, and
he had never taken medicine until he
had passed one hundred years. Al
though ft life-long Democrat, he had
never Ix-en a candidate for any office,
and once, when appointed by the Gov
ernor a justice of the peaco, had pro
em ptorily refused to serve.

City of Mexico Cor. N. Y. Sun.
The Mexican Government has exert-1
ed in a hundred other ways to amuse)
and honor Grant and to show their re
spect for the American people. Un
fortunately Gen. Grant is not endowed
with pleasant manners, or with that
sauviter in modo which goes so far to
pleoso people and to make the recipient
of so many honors appear thankful It
secmB impossible for either the General
or the members of his suite to refrain
from making insulting remarks and
hurting the feelings of people who are
doing their best to entertain them. Aa
instanco of this reckless disregard of .
the feelings of others occurred at the
little review which was given in the
ex-President' honor. Several Mexi
cans, who were riding on horseback,
approached the General's carriage, prob
ably from motives of curiosity to see
the "conqueror of Richmond." Young
Grant, without a reasonable cause, ex
claimed loud enough to be heard by
several by-standers, "If those people
were in the States we would soon nave
them in the guard house." Half aa
hour later this speech was repeated ia
every club and cafe in tho city, and a
may be imagined, with most uncompli
mentary strictures.
Gen. Sheridan committed ft similar
stupidity upon the night of the arrival.
The Committee who had charge of the
reception had placed ft telegraphic in.
strument in the smoking room of the
house prepared for Gen Grant, so that
he could telegraph privately whenever
ho wished The members of the Com
mittee were anxious to send a message
to New York or Chicago signed by
Grant and merely announcing his safe
arrival. "Sheridan," said Grant, "they
want mo to sign a telegram; what shall
I dol-
"Oh, tell them to go to h 1!" wa
the reply. One of the Committee, whe
stood beside Grant when this speech
was made, spoke English as well ft
Grant or Sheridan.
