THE ASSESSMENT.
Wo fear that the attendance of
Ffounty Solicitor Mlnoguo at tho Cltl"
Eens meetlug Thursday night did not
ILave a very favorable ellect. Air.
Mlnoguo was, at times, more vigorous
fin the use of language than the occa
sion required. 'TIb true that the law
must he respected, but the people have
Tk right at all times to protest against
Rtrhat they may deem an unjust action
Sou the part of those who apply tho
slaw, niui even nave a rigur, to protest
CacaluBt the law Itself. His remark
- . ......
feUhat "the present Commissioners will
not listen to mob law, violence,
threats," and that "force must be met
ikwlth fprce," were wholly uncalled for,
iTho meeting Mr. Mlnoguo addressed
comprised some of the most promt'
i nent, influential and intelligent men I
fin the county, gentlemen who do not
1 countenance mob law, violence or
threats, and who stand ready at nil
times to check those who resort to
such measures. They are gentlemen
who do not consider the assessment
order of the Commissioners u Just one
and they met to formulate a protest-
not to defy or break the law?. Whether
or not this protest is a well grounded
une can better bo determined when
o assessors, tho committee and
sounty Commissioners get together
Bid if the latter should fall to reeog-
Ezo that which is right they and
'Mr. Mlnoguo will learn that there Is a
higher power to appeal to. It Is hoped
that if Mr. Mlnoguo lsjat hand when
the protest Is presented ho will make
more consistent arguments than he did
Thursday night. He has maintained
that the cost of a property shall be
taken as a basis of value in making
an assessment. A proporty that cost
$30,000 years ago and which has de
preciated to $10,000 by reason of wear
and tear and the cfl'ect of mine work
ingslinderneath must be assessed at

$30,000. And yet h Hays "If tho val
uation of your properties decreases in
three years, your assessment will de
crease," How does tho learned gen
tleman roconclle these two statements?
Again, he practically tells tho as
sessors to disregard thela oaths. The
oath soya that properties must bo as
sessed at what they would bring at a
bona. fide Bale, and this fits the case
the people intend to make through
their protest. The lest prescribed by
the oath seems to be the only prac
ticable one.
Mr. Mlnogue's cost theory Is as clear
us mud. If ho- means that the assess
ment Is to bo based on the cost of the
property to the party holding It at the
time the assessment is made he points
out an excellent means by which the
countv can bo made bankrupt. What
is thero in the law to prevent a man
when purchasing a property, having
the purchase price llxed at any sum
from ono dollar up? What would be
the basts of assessment then ? Barely
Mr. Mlnogue would not cling to his
cost theory.
We understand that our assessors
this year, with the aid of a committee
appointed by Council, have made i
fair and equitable assessment by tak
ing into consideration the size and
location of the land, the general con
structlon and appearance of tho houses
upon it; and the income from rentals
If they have done this, nothing more
can be expected of them, and we be
lieve that if the Commissioners' at
tempt to enforce Mr. Mlnogue's cost
rule the court will promptly sit down
upon them, if appealed to.

Says Thoro Is a Ring.
Editou IIkiiald : Permit mo to offer
suggestion for tho organization of the now
Council. I agree witli "Michael" In om
soneo and disagroo with him in another. 1
bellevo that now material Is ncoded In some
of the departments, but4f any changes arc
made I do not think that nationality
should bo considered. 1 suggest that some
thing bo dono to break up tho ring that
now exists. Let some of tho Citizens and
Democrats got together and caucus for a
ticket Irrespective of nationality or politics.
Olvo tho pcoplo a good corps of officers.
Give us men who can stand upon their
morits and not political influence. This
can bo done with proprioty. No mombor
of Council can (ay ho can't go Into such
a caucus because ho is a ltepubllcan.
Republicanism was wiped out for this year
by tho primaries and elections. Tho He
publicans stood no show in tho primaries
and tho only Republicans who won in the
election wero thoeo who hitchod on to the
Democratic kito tall. Such mon will not
dare to chargo a ltepubllcan or Democrat
who may ontor into tho kind of caucus J
suggest with being traitors to their parties.
I hope we have enough eonsiblo Council-
men to soo my point and act upon my
suggestion. Tho ringsbould bo broken by
all means and the men who havo tho
courago to do it will command tho respect
of tho intelligent voters of both parties.
