A DAY OF RECKONING AHEAD.

[lndianapolis News, Bepublican.] Beports from over the State indicate that the new tax assessment law is not being faithfully obeyed. In some counties it has not received the support of the newspapers. Property owners have been encouraged to believe that it was not to be taken at its full meaning, and, as under the old law, they are to be allowed large latitude in determining values for taxation The sinister influence of politics has been brought to bear against it. A fear for the responsibility of higher taxes and a desire to gain political advantage by making the law odious or unpopular, combined with the natural antipathy to anv measure that reaches into people’s pocket-books, and the unscrupulonsness of a large conscienceless class who always try to evade paying taxes, have operated powerfully against it. All this, ooupled with a premature attempt to put it into force before people could become acquainted with its requirements, has made the law, if not a failure, not a success. As a result the inequalities of the tax burden are probably greatly aggravated rather than diminished. If the provisions of the law are not strictly carred into force and itß Densities inflicted upon violators, those who have honestly complied with its requirements will suffer most unjustly. There is, however, a day of reckoning ahead The law may be evaded and violated with apparent impunity in the month of April, 1891, but it remains to be seen how the corrective power within the law will assert itself in the months following. It must not be forgotten that there is a State tax commission and that it is the high and solemn duty of the tax commission to seek out the evasions and violations of the law, make right where it is wrong, equalize where there are inequalities, and prosecute where punishment is deserved. There is no reason for presuming that these officers will not perform their duty. On the contrary, it is to be expected that they will and that they will do it vigorously and impartially. If they do not they will be called to account.

The Bepublican is one of those papers whioh “desire to gain political advantage by making the law odious or unpopular, by continuous mirepresentation. The fact is that while the state tax will be un-

RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY, MAY I 1891 s

disputedly higher, connty, township and other taxes will be reduced to an extent that will more than ofiset the increased tax for State purposes; besides, a vast amount of property heretofore hidden from the assessor will be brought to the surface and be required to bear its proportion, and thus the honest tax-payer will find his taxes reduced below that under the old law, while the dishonest taxpayer who has heretofore hidden property from taxation will find his increased. The assessed valuation of property in Jasper county for 1890, under the old method of assessment was $3,838,925. Let ns say the levy on that amount for county, township and other purposes was $2 on the SIOO valuation. If, under the now, the assessed valuation for 1891 shall donble that of 1890, and the same am’t as that of last year be required by the county then the levy will be but one-half —sl on the SIOO valuation. Under the law now in force the.farmer’s work-horse valued at SIOO will not pay the same tax as the fine bred SSOO and SI,OOO as heretofore, but each will pay its just proportion according to value. So with all other property. The efforts of the republican editors to alarm the tax-payers and misrepresent the law will react disastrously upon their party.

ADVERTIBED .LETTERS — Mr. Orange Brewer, Mr. John Shide, 2, Mr. Steve J. Davis, Mr. Walter Talbert, 2, Mrs. Sam Bandall, Miss Nora Dunham, Patent Gate Co. Persons calling for letters in the above list will please say they are advertised. Ed. Rhoades. Horace Peacock is filling up his new shop on Washington street, opposite the Nowels House, with a large stock of harness, bridles, halters, etc., etc., of his own manufacture, and made from the best material in the market. Prices reasonable. Those in want of goods in his line are respectfully invited to give him a call. He solicits an inspection of his work before going elsewhere. At Wolcott, last Thursday, Martin Ferrick, an old railroad hand, shot Jeff. Bunnell, of that place, and then shot himself thiough the heart., Bunnell has since died. No caU mPR assigned, but from the well known character of Ferrick as a good, peaceable citizen the deed is attributed to insanity. Messrs. George H. Brown, Frank M. Parker, John Waymire and other leading farmers of Jasper county authorize us to quote them as saying that in the work for which they are intended, the Morgan Spading Harrow is the most perfect farming tool they have ever used; and especially in working sod they have no equal.

Miss Bell Barkley is on the siok list. Receipts of the Temperanoe entertainment—s2o. Lew Day will soon resume citizenship in Rensselaer. G. O. Phegley has returned to Rensselaer to reside. ' The County Board of Education is in session to-day. The Denton-Culp ditch case goes up to the Supreme Court. Wednesday last the milk delivery at the creamery reaohed 8,000 pounds. J. A. Sharp and wife are giving instruction in crayon, at Remington. Three prisoners from Newton connty are now domioiled in the Jasper county jail. Mrs. Mary Parkison. of Pleasant Grove, is visiting relatives and friends in Rensselaer. The Monon Company has employed W. B. Austin to attend to their legal business in Jasper county. Mrs. L. A. Moss and daughter Nellie returned Tuesdas from a winter’s visit to Omaha, Neb. John Kohler is manufacturing drain in vast quantity since placing his new machinery in position. A son of George Cooper, of Barkley townshiu, died of scailet fever, Saturday last, aged about five years.

Geo. B. Parkison, near Pleasant Bidge, last Saturday invested in one of those nice carriages kept on sale by the Hammond Bros. On Tuesday last Mr. Henry C. Pierson and Miss Anna L. Knight were married at the residence of the officiating clergyman, Bev. U. M. McGuire. We note our old-time friend John Wi Bandall is one of the proptietors of the Newton County Enterprise. Aside from his political color, we wish|Johnnie all the prosperity and suocess imaginable. If you want harness, bridles, halters or anything in that line of trade you will consult your interests by inspecting goods and ascertaining prices at Horace Peacock’s, opposit the Nowels House. John A. Kent, had up to last Saturday, received 1400 head of osttle at his Banch in Colfax Township for the season. It is said that John has one of the finest Cattle Benches in Northern Indiana.—Newton County Enterprise. The Kentland Enterprise succeeds the Kentlaud Gazette. The Enterprise is a 7-column quarto. 2 pages home print, Davis <fc Bandall, proprietors, John G. Davie, editor. Barring its politics, we wish the Enterprise success. f The Hammond Bros, are hustlers in the implement business. They seek to reach all pnrebasers by addressing the readers of all papers. Therefore we suggest to the friends of the Bentinel that they go where they are invited.□ If your patronage is thought not worth the asking for do not give it unsolicited. The Democratic Town Ticket is a good one. The candidates for Tr steesare all gentlemen of ability, enterprise, honesty and of careful habits. If eleoted, they will carefully see to it that expenditures are not unwarranted. Messrs. Tuteur, for Treasurer; Healy, for Clerk, and Barney, for Marshal, are all well fitted for the positions they are pnt forward to fill. Mr. Barney is an old soldier, with health broken in the service. The office asked for would aid him in securing a comfortable livelihood. We rge nothing against his competitor, only reminding the voter that he is a young man with unbroken health and can well afford to bide his time.

Death of D. M. Nelson.

Ex-County Superintendent Nelson died in Chicago on Wednesday morning last at 3 o’clock. Ht had gone to that city on business Monday of last week, and although ailing som what at the time did not suppose that it would prove serious. But the disease assumed aggravated form and his wife was sent for, A telegram called Dr Hartscll to his bedside Monday. but he found him beyond reach of medical skill. The remains were brought to the residence of John W. Paxton yesterday. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church in the afternoon with large attendance. Mr. Nelson was a gentleman in all that the word implies, and his demise is deeply deplored.
