THE TRUTH ABOUT TOE ASSESSMENT IN MOTROE COIIftTT. The Bloomincton Saturday Cou rier of October 15, 1892, published under the title of "Solid Facts" certain statements about the County Board of Review increasing the val nation of real and personal prop erty in such manner as to account for the increase in taxes under the new Democratic tax law, notwithstanding the fact chat the same sheet baa always insisted that taxes are really no higher. The intention of the "solid facts" article was to miHlead the readers, and cast reflections on parties who were simply trying to fulfill the requirements of the infamous Democratic tax law, wince in part the statements made are false, and in other parts misleading. We qoote the following: 'In Richland tp. 5 per cent, wa added to the assessment on ail lands and improvements by the Republican Board of Review," when the truth is no increase of any kind was made on the improvements in said townships, aa the records show. "In Van Buren and Perry tps. they added ten per cent, to the improvements on real estate." This statement is misthe troth is that tne Hoard did in crease the valuation of improvements ten per cent., which amounted to $7,849, hut at the came time decreased the asscsment on the real estate 5 percent., or $24,023, making a decrease iu the assessment of I aaid township of $16,174, instead f n increase of $7,849 as the Conner would have us believe. The above fact can be best illustrated by taking t lie assessment ot a few o the h-ading farmers of Paid township and allowing just how the increase and reduction work's. The township ases.or assessed the property of Nathan Smith as follows: improvements $900, land. $7,795: total 8.695. Under the order ot the county board hia assessment Mould be 10pr cent, on improvements $90; or ?!0; o per cent, deducied from ; lands 389:75, $7,405:25; totsl asgessment $8,395:25; a net reduction of $299:75. John Stipp was assessed by township assessor on im provements $1,900, and land $25,675; total $27,575. Add ten per cent., or S190 to imprnvements,and we have $2,090, an increase of $1 90; deduct 5 per cent from real estate, or i,za3:75, and we have 524. 391:25, a decrease of $1,283:75; malting a total assessment of $26, 481:25, or a decrease of $1,093:75. Tbe township assessor assessed the improvements on Aaron Gordon's land at $950, and the County Boaad added $95, which is five per cent., making $1,045. The township as sessor assessed Aaronuoraon's land at $4,600, and tbe County Board deducted o per cent., or $230, mak ing bis assessment on land $4,370 ; to this add $1,045, and we have 0,41d as against 5,&o0, or a net reduction of $135. The above facts are a matter of record, and go to snow tne attitude ul the Courier iu telling the truth. The causes lend ing to the action of the County Board are well known to many, but can be explained again, for the good or Humanity : After Robert C. Foster, the County Assessor, bad examined and corrected the assessments returned by tbe various township assessors, the entire assessment was submitted to the State Tax Commission, er, Mr. Owin of New Albany, who is a Democrat. In his opinion h stated that the assessment for Monroe county whs not satisfactory, stating that said county was Worth more than tbe assessment showed, whereupon Robert Poster begun to inquire ot many of the leading men of the varions townships concerning tbe assessment as returned by tbe various assessors, and to consider all objections to valuations, which investigation resulted in a written report to the County Hoard, which report was adopted bv said board. ! this board being composed of Robert C j ??ter' J- H- Gaston and Win. T. Blair, who acted as secretary of the board. Tbe honest purpose of tbe board was to adjust the-assessment of the county so that it would meet the approval of the Democratic State Board which was to meet in August of 1891. After the assessment as returned by the uoonty Assessor ana aaoptea by tne County Board had been submitted to the State Board of Review, whiol: was and ia now Democratic, Wm.T. Blair received a written notice from the Secretary of toe oiaie ooara oi Tax uommissleners, stating tbe fact that the State Board con sidered the assessment entirely too low as compared witb other eounties, and that it had added 16 per cent, to tho value of all tbe farm lands in Monroe county, and that Monroe county would be given aenanee witnin ten days to abow cause why such aa increase should not stand. This fact was made known by publication in tbe newspapers, and yet not a single one of the Democratic stump speaker of thia campaign ever so much aa offered his assistance to convince the Ux t'ommiffiioners that adding is per caul.

to tbe present valuation of farm lands in the county would be unjust. But the county did have a man in the poraon of Wm.'T. Blair who had the mind and jourage to enter his protest in the name of Monroe county to the increase mode by the State Board at Indianapolis. We will now give a table ot figures showingjust bow the 15 per cent, increase affected the value of the land in

each township in the county : Value by JVrf inerrate Totmshipt. Bean B lossom, Washington, Marion, Benton, Bloomincton. Co.

After all obtoctions bad been submitted both orally and in writing tbe Board did conclude that their action was unjust and the increase was reduced from $356,385 75 to 1 18,795.25, or a net savins of $23".590.50. The average rate of taxation of all the townships in 1891 was 1.63 and comput ing tbe tax on $237, 690.50 at tbe above rate will give $3,937.12, the actual amount of money saved the farmers of the county. it any person ia entitled to tbe credit tor bringing about the above result It is cer tainly due to the present County Auditor, and our cand idate for re-election. OREGON MARES. TO HIGHEST BIDDER. I will be in Bloomington on next Saturday, Oct. 29, with a lot of Oregon Mares, from 2 to 5 years old ; a number broke. Out of native mares and standard breed horses. Bargains for everybody. W. P. WOOD. Remember that the election is on November 8th, and that vou will have an opportunity to vote fur Wils. Adams, one ot the men who helped to save the Union. Wils. was a soldier in the late war, and a good one. Keen that in mind as you go t the polls. George Welch, the candidate for County Aaiusor, will 1 elected by a satisfactory majority. Don't forest to add your vn'n to the othnrs, and you will feel wall satisfied with the result. In the suit ot Mrs. Palsy Arn old against H. C. Rhorer to get possession of $80 in silvor coin, found upon the premiers of the latter, a jury in circuit court found for Rhorer. Some two years ago this money was dug up on the Kherer larm and Mrs. Arnold made claim to ,lt as the surviving heir of the man whom the claimed had hidden it fifty years ago. But the jury couldn't see it that Way; hence the verdict. Co. H had the weather fixed up for their especial benefit last week. Some thief with more daring than judgment invaded the residences of Judge Miers and James D. Shownra Monday night of last week and searched the rooms for money, it was evidently money the thief was after, as silverware, jewelry, etc., were examined but were not carried away. As the money received at tne concert tnat evening was IRaen charge of by Mrs. Micrs and Mrs. Showers, it la reasonable to suppose that was the incentive. At Judge Miers' residence entrance was effected by sawing out the screen in one of tho lower story windows, and t hen the thief proceeded to the apartments occupied by Mrs. Hester. Judge Miers was awakened by the noise made by the would-be thief as he jumped from a window carrying the screen in his leap. There wag a fine gold watoh, diamonds, etc., in Mrs. Hester's room, but these were passed by. At the Showers residence the paper around sonic silverwaro was removed, and a ooiit belonging to James D. Showers was found on the porch, where it had evidently been carried and searched . The New Albany Ledger says: "Prof. Clark's University Extension lec ture on tne "Miracle l'lay. ' last night, at DePauw Colloge, was listened to with delight by tho very large class assembled. Prof. Clark ia a clear and forcible anoakor and his subject a moat interesting one " Surgeon Gen. Moore and wife of Washington City, have been on a visit to the Doctor's eistor in this place. Mrs. Vote for Wils. Adams for Sheriff and you will know then that you have done your duty.

In Wro. T. Blair you have one of the best efScera who has ever held the: poiitionof County Auditor. He is competent, prompt, agreeable, and can always be dependad upon to render tbe services required ef him. When you have such a man in office It is not beat to swap him off for one who is untried. One day last winter Chas. Ousler's fast horse Cap. was killed on the track near John U. Whianand's farm, south of town, aad suit was brought againot the Monon company for damigea The tioree had exhibited phenomenal speed and bottom, and gave promise of better work. He was believed to be worth two or three thousand dollars, and witnesses testified to hie value m $1,580. A jury gave Ousler a verdict for $700. The Workingmen's Building Association tiaa paid out scries five in five yeara and six montha instead of aix years.

"For Sheriff, Wilson Adams," is the way your ballot should read. Adams is one of the old soldier boys, who braved the hardships of war and camp to help to keep the flag waving aa free as it does to-day in all the States of this great Nation. Wils. will fill the office of Sheriff in a satisfactory manner, and he should receive a lnriro vote.
