Shall the Water Works Bonds of Jasper Be Paid? The above is a problem for the Trustees to solve. No tax has ever been levied, as the law provides, to meet either interest or principal of the debt. Sec. 3283, R. S. 1881, the statute under which the water works were constructed, enforces a levy of taxes to pay principal and interest as follows : "For the purpose of paying the principal and interest on the money borrowed for the erection and completion of anv
water works or for the extension ami
improvement of such works, a tax of Butiicient amount shall te assessed on ah the taxable property of the city or incorporated town, and collected, each and every year, in the usual manner of levying and collecting taxes in the city or town : Provided, always, The additional special tax hereby authorized shall not, in any year, exceed fifty cents on each one hundred dollars of taxable property and one dollar ou each poll." This section was amended in 1897 so that the levy should not exceed 40 cents on each 1100. The legislature of 1891 provided in regard to debts as follows : 8bc. 27. "No incorporated town under this act shall have power to borrow
money or :ucur any debt or liability un-
50.00
225.00
Total
less a majority of the resident owners of the taxable real estate of said town shall petition the Board of Trustees to contract such debt or loan. Such petition shall have attached thereto an affidavit verifying the genuineness of the signatures to the same. An 1 for anv debt created thereby the Tnistees shall add to the tax duplicate of each year sun ess ively a levy sufficient to pay the annual interest on such debt or loan, with an addition of not less than five cents on the hundred dollars, to create a sinking fund for the liquidation of the principal thereof." The contracts made by the lust year's trustees, restrict the oppor tunities of the present trustees effecting much public improvement-. The law also provides that not over 15 cents on each $100 shall be levied to pay for public lighting. The $575 allowed for the last six months exceeds that considerably. If in all particulars the Hoard would adhere to the law strictly it would be better for our citizens genetnlly.

A motion was filed by a majority of the resident property owners on said proposed street to reject Unreport, and dismiss the petition, because of incorrect descriptions of lot-, ami unfair appraisement, and variance between report and precept for appraisement. After fearing arguments on each side the board by a vote of Ph. Kastner, John M. Schmitt and A. Sprauer, being a majority of the trustees, rejected said motion, and accepted the report of the Commissioners as above, and appropriated the tracts doooribod for the street. C. Doane then tiled a written notice of appeal from the order of the trustees. It took two nights to get through with the business. The Treasurer reported only $628.11 of general fund in the Treasury, and by agreement with President Bietl the Electric Light Co. agreed to wait for the payment of $391.75 of its order, until more money comes in the treasury.

The blank- w re compared withla-t yar, ami it was found that the hlankt oooaparad favorably with Last year, ami would be about eiptal when omitted is added, and the assessment was accepted as returned by Asscssi r. Friday I'atoka Tp. was taken up, and found to be very unequally a-se-s,.,i in comparison with l'.tii. The Assessor was present and explained that the h- ;i- in gram, and -mile large -aw null- have moved out of the Township. Some individual! were raised up to la-t year. Saturday-Ferdinand Tp. wa- taken up, and it wa- found that said towoahip waa aaaeaied about 830, tNMi less in personal than last year, and it was tound that about SO ta payers did not -wcarto their blanks, even sonic that only listed a poll and dog would not -wear to their blanks. These mm swearers were notified to be present, and a num
ber of them called and made a sworn itatenaenl to the Board of their property, w Inch w as accepted, and others were rai-ed 50 per cent ly the board upon good authority. They were warned that hereafter tin y must swear to the blanks, or they would be rained 100 per cent, next year. Monday, July 20. The Hoar.' ordered that lumber in the hands of dealers, and at planing mills, and factories, should be assessed $7.00 p. r 1,000 feet. The Hoard ordered that hereafter the township assessor should aeeen local corporations as individuals, by Scheduling their personal property, and then require the officers, to make a separate statement to auditor. The Hoard worked very carefully and diligently this year, and the i i j i i
wore couia nav oeen verv much
lightened, If the township Aeteeaon had had a more perltet under -landing among themselves. The Hoard cannot pa.-s by townships that are ataeeiea 60 per oent. leaa on the same class of property as the neighboring townships, just because the aseeator ia of a neglectful disposi
tion, or doing it for personal favor itian or political effect. The Hoard want- to do justice to all taxpayers in the OOUntjT, and it ought to be
understood that if the assess
ments are lower than last year, the levy must be higher, and then Un
taxes would be the same anvwavs.
riierefore it is to the interest of each
citi.en that all property should be
assessed, and the assessment -leuiM
be equal, and oitixeni all over the
countv should call on the Board
when in session and help it do
its dutv.
The assessor's work is not cotntleted until the board gets through
revising it, and even then should it be much lower than last year the
Mate Hoard can raise the whole a--sessment.
The Hoard adjourned Tuesday ine die, after adding to the duplicate, in the aggregate, about $50,

Bryan on Trusts. The Hon. William J, Bryan is
telling the people of California Something about the evils of trusts !
tnd the remedy for them. He said
in a recent speech :
In the olden days if I man start-
in a business, had sutlieient capital, bail sutlieient industry and had suilieirnt integrity, you might expect
him to make a inooeas of bnsiness. Not necessarily ho to-day. A man may bave sufficient capital ; a man maybe industrious; he may be honest; he may have business experience; yet in a moment he may find his capital dissipated, lie may Und himself bankrupt, why? B -cause the trust will come to him and hold out before him two propositions either ask him to become I a member of the trust, a oonsp4rator against bis fellows, or threaten him with bankruptcy on the other hand. If he prefers his independence, he is given death. If it escapes death, it means simple servitude to the trust to which he attaches himself. It is the province of wise men to foresee. It is the sign of intelligent men to prepare for danger before it conies immediately upon them, and I think the American people ought to arise in their might, ami through state legislation, a-well as national, drive the tru ts out of exi-tem . and
Kie ii warning never again to SOC foot on Americ an soil. It otO be done by the vnforcement of the laws
that now exist. If new lav s are
nece.-.-ary. they must he devised; and if the supreme court finds that our constitution prevents the extermination of the trust, then the time has come when we must so change the constitution as to permit the
