j CLEARFIELD, Ta.
WKDXESDAT MORNINO, OCT. 19, I87S.
i Ulnsalhned Spirit.
The political economist who pro
idc8 over the columns of tho Osceola
JtcveilU eeems to bold aomo antipathy
siguinst our county prison. Well,
there are no doubt otbers liko bim. I'
it a torror to ovil doors gonorally.
Tbe bigh taxes troublo bimwondor
fully, too. A glance nt tbe duplicates
rovoaU the fuct that he has paid with
in tho past tbroo years two dollars
and sixty cents county tax, and when
.discounted averages about oighty-two
cants a year. If his otbor taxes are
.'high hb should lay tho blamo "at tho
right ofllco door," and not insinuate
that the County Commissioners and
tho Assessors are tbe authors of high
taxes. If yonr borough, road, sohool
and poor taxos aro high, treat it as a
question of your own household and
quit growling about those who have
no control over tho question. 150 fair
. in a business way if possible. Fur
tbor on in bis growl he remarks :
"In defonce of our position we will cite to ono
tract of land, which has como under our notice,
aod which will serve for all purposes. It con
tains four hundred and odd aoros, and the Mo.
ebannon eroek divides it equally, one half in
Clearfield county, the other in Centre : In IS7Q
the portion on tho Clearfield sido was taxed '6.03
and in 1871, (41.62, although lu tho Interim tho
rate had boon reduced and the pine taken off. In
consideration of the pine being taken off, a re-
duetinn in valuation WAR olaiuicd,'ard after some
difficulty, obtained. Had the timber been per
mitted to remain on it, ai waa the ease with otbor
traoti dote by, the valuation would not have
been reduced, nnd taxation would have quad
rupled from 18711 to 1871. In the satne time, the
Usee paid on the one half of this traot lying in
Centre oouoty waa tit.H in 1870, and in 1371,
SJ.68."
That is a business statement, but
it roust bo enlarged beforo it can be
dobated intelligently. Now, if the
editor will give us the name of tho
warranteo of tho ahovo tract of land
nnd say frankly what tho land was
worth per acre in tho winter of 1871
and what it is worth now, wo will go
to tho troublo of examining tho rcc
ords and soo who has been imposed
upon. We aro no advocate of high
taxes, but wo will go as far as any in
dividual can go to assist in bringing
about equality in taxation.
Again, the abovo comparison bo
twecn tbe tax rates in Centre and tbis
county is no ovidonco that the Asses
or and Commissioners of Centre
countv are right or ours wrong. If
tho ofllcors in the former county eco
fit to assess but 85 per tract on un
soated lands, that is no reason that
the officers in our county should do
the s.tmo thing, because it might raise
a very serious question bolwoon tho
seated land owners and the officers, if
(brought to the notico of tbo former,
which would bo altogether likely.
' Tho individual is a fool who seeks
to bring about bigh taxation, but
quite the reverso in striving to produce
squnlily.
Again the editor says:
"There U no one who peye Uxei so dnmb ai
not to aee that tbe increnso in the valuation, th'o
the rates are reduced, ia greatly adding to
thoir taxei; and the attempt of the Commission
re u hoodwink tbe tax payer, gaio ore.dit fur
themselves and shift the responsibility upon tbo
assessors, Is too transparent
VTe know tl.e editor
to bo a rood
printer and gonorally a pretty sliurp
fellow, but when ho gets into tho as
sessing and taxation business ho is
cut of bis elcmont. Tho abovo quo
tation proves this. When tho, County
Commissioners, School Directors, Su
pervisors or Overseers of tbo Toor,
proceed to ley thoir unnual tux rato,
tbe assessment Is asccondnry consider
ation. How much money do wo wantf
That is a proper and tho first inquiry
to muke. ftomobody says $2,000. It
is agroed to. Second, now, what is
the aggregate vulue of the property
in tlx) county, or township, or tho bor
ough of Osceola J Somebody again
says $173,000, in tho lattor. The third
and lust question, and the ono which
makes either bigh or low taxes, no
JiiTcrenee how high or bow low tho
propot ly is assessed, is the number of
mills. Tbo mills and the amount of
money required Is what rogulittee tho
question. But to tbo point. ' Will ton
mills raise tho necessary amount of
money f asks ono. Another remarks,
ao, that will only give us 81,7U0.OO
and leave us short $270.00, put on two
wills more and wo will havo a lilllo
over, making $2,070.00; bottoralitllo
too much than not enough. .
We again say, it makes no differ
enco what the value of tbe property
is flxod at, tbe sum needed and tho
mills laid regulate tbo subject. And
in that light it must be viowed. And
if so, then the abovo extract is falla
cious in fuct and unfair toward the
Commissioners, and looks liko either
ignoranco or malice on the part of tbo
.Author.
Hut give us tho valuo of the tract
Inetioaled above and we will try and
elucidate the point between Centre
and Clonr6eld.

The lHitoor Oath.
Aa tbe assessing season approaches,
we dop;u it but proper that tbe rela
tion between tho assessor and tho tax
payer should be kept before nil. Too
many persons aro prone to abuse this
officer without knowing what his du
ties are or tho obligations bo has as
sumed. Wo therefore lay the oath
beforo our rondors which each Asses
sor and assistant Assessor must take
bofore entering upon his official duties.
Tbis document reads as follows :

Grand Jury, at Pittfburgh last week,
found three true bills against cx-Post
Mastor Stowurt, of thut city. Ono is
for cmbozslomont, another for forg

should say that is piling it on pretty
well. There is no doubt of bis guilt,
but will bo ever be tried f Wo say
no. Tho Administration daro not try
Its big criminals. It has let too many
such cases pass without a trial, nnd
to try the bravo Col. Slowitrt., who
has so faithfully served his country,
would raiso a fuss in the loyal family.
Had ho defrauded the government out
of $200 or less bo would be pro

U Sertre Arraignment.
The late Liboral Itupublican Con
vention of Now York was presided
over by Col. Frederick A. Conkling, a
brother of Sonator Conkling, and
formerly an ardeut iiopublioan, and a
warm supporlor of Grant when he
was first ft candidato. The following
extract from bis speooh upon assum
ing tho chair of the Convention, ia ono
of the most scathing reviews of tbe
Jtadical party that we have soon for a
long time, and only the moro sovoro
bocttiiBO of its truthfulnoss :
Whilo so many of tho early Icadors
and soldiers of the Republican party
have withdrawn from the scone, poli Il
eal cowboys usurp thoir placos. Tho
sutlers and cump-followois, they who
thrivo by tho pillage of the slain, now
publish themselves ns the mon who
fought the battles. Venal men, mado
rich by shoddy contracts and othor ex
tortions, are high in favor, tho rcpre
sontalivo men of the Grant Adminis
tration, As might bo expected, cm-
ber.r.lomonts,defulcations, and breaches
of official trust havo bocomo matters
of daily and almost hourly occuroncc.
Hirelings ot tho credit .iiobilior, fos
tering with corroption and covered
with perjuries as tho begi.ur Lazarus
was with sores load iu Congress and
ii Council, and a isumnor is made to
"ivo place to a Cameron. J he J udlct
ury is prostilutcd. Tbo bench of the
Supromo Court has been pinked to
procure a majority Hint would dccluro
un unconstitutional enactment consti
tutional. Atrocious Judges like Du-
rell, peculators liko Sherman, nnd
Irtinkurds liko Dulahay are retained
in tho positions which they dishonor
No liarir or administration ever be
foro so allied itsolf to tbo corrupt ver
min that idlest high piuces, or has
dieploycd such a preference for im
proper persons to represent it in otiice.
Tho worst cbargos ever brought
against tho Tammany King aro oust
into tho shndo by tho enormities ol mo
Kings wuicu sustain anu are enricneu
by the men in power In Washington.
The local government of tho District
of Columbia surpasses in prodigulily
and inlumy tho outrages ot tho lam
many gang in tho city of Now York.
In a word, our country and its free in
slitutions aro nt this momont in groat
er dancer from the corruption w hich
fiorvades every department ol the puo
io servieo, and from tbo decay of pub
lio and privute virtuo than they evor
were in the darkost period ot the re
bellion. Nor will thero bo reform in
Government, in morals or in monetary
affairs, while tho present Adminislruv
tion remains in power. It would be
hoping against hope to expect it.
A prosperous country merchant has
for bis motto, "Early to bed and early to rise
never got tight, and advertise; let yonr warts be
known if you are wise.
