The price of every commodity con creased tax levy in liepunlic county this year. In the issue of Nov. 17th, that distinguish patriot told the good people that it was owing to $150,000 ol unpaid bills that the Populist legislation left as a legacy for the Republicans to pay, but liuding that he could not get, the people to swallow such a palpable lie. he now tries to play the magician, "now you see it, and now you don't see it," the taxes are raised, and the taxes are not raised, according to the gospel by Saint James. Now let us see how logical the learned gentleman is in his reasoning, and how strictly he adheres to the truth.

James says: "At the meeting of the Commissioners in June, as a board of equaliza'lou, it was easily seen that the assessment of personal property was not as high as it should have been. Consequently they concluded to sligh ly increase it, which no sane man will question their legal authority to do so. and accordingly they made a new departure in the matter of the J200 exemption provided for by the constitution of the state. It is and has always, we believe, been the practice of the assessors in this county to assess properly of all kinds at only one-third of its actual value, for which there trolled by trusts is rapidly advancing Mauy articles not the product of trust II ACCURATE. jXVom the Favorite" to our mos expensive Ideal." 4 Tna IDEAL No.

The people of this county want the commissioners as such to defend their action in regard to raising the assessment, and unless they can show good cause for such action they will be held responsible. Other may defend the board all they please, but such defense will have no weight with the people If the County Commissioners only did their duty in the matter of raising the assessor's then every man who has held the position of commissioner therefore is guilty of a violation of his official oath.

Bat the increase does not stop with the personal property. We learn that there Is an average increase of at leaft 86. on every quarter section ia the county, which amounts to about 918,000, more added to the 8300,000 would make 8318,000. rhaps some of the tax payers would like to know why there shobld be such an increase in the taxes this year, we confess that we don't know, unless the county officials are trying to work np another bank failure, or think tbey may need a little change during the campaign. The only reason given by the distinguished gentleman from Canada is, that we have not been paying so much taxes aa Jewell, Washington, Cloud and Clay comities.

We have a copy of the Auditor of State's report which shows that we have been paying from 10 to 30 pei cent mora on the valuation than either of those counties. Another peculiar feature or the explanation is that on the recommetida-tion of County Clerk Wilson, the Sta made no increase in the taxes of any town property in this county. Now we fail to see why town property should be exempt from its proper share of taxes, unless it be that the Kail-roads, Banks and other corporations own a large amount of property In the towns, and that they either contribate largely to the republican slush fond, or are too poor to pay taxes We would suggest that Canada Jim np republican headquarters once more and see if they eau't furnish him some tetter excuse for that increased tax levy in Republic county. tne 'jider vinegar, maae ny PUBLISHED ON Geo.
