SR Sp— . A Word From An Assessor. Since the discussion of the tax question has been opened here, a number of communications have been sent to the Pioneer with a re- quest to publish them, of which the following is one received from John Bakers, assessor of the Town of] Hagali and an old resident of Bel-| trami county. Mr. Baker’s letter, in its entirity, is as follows: To the Editor of the Bemidji Pioneer. Dear Sir:—I am one of the oldest settlers in this part of county and was, for three years, on| the town board of the Town of| Hagali. I was also clerk of the school district for two years. and| therefore should know something of | the value of real estate, and also the duties of the assessor, and I beg to say, sir, that it is not on account of| the low assessment of property, but,} as Mr. McVey says, it is the ex»‘? travagant disbursments of the funds | at the county officers disposal which is the primary and sole cause of our | country being, at the present time, in such a disgraceful condition. I say that it is a direct insult'to the| highly intellignt body of men who met Mr. McVey in Bemidji on May 2, men who were duly elected and} well known to the voters, and who| were all anxious to get instructions on every point from our state repre-| sentative, and who, I believe, are all“ trying their best to do their duty, | Beltrami We have made in our Hat Depar ladies, misses and a liberal discount UNDE to 75c, day Salei . cois vnes e One lot Gowns, val shown in Bemidji. A vi One lot, value up to $1.75, sale.................. according to their oath, and yet Messrs. Neal and McKusick say we are utterly incompetent to perform our work. I would ask what does Neal or Mckusick know about the value ot real estate more than we do? Our old friend Getchel knows some- thing about timber. Well so do we as we have gone through the mill— most of us. It is the opinion of a great many| people in the north part ot the county that Messrs, Neal, McKusick, Getchel and some others of the al- most-self appointed commission at St. Paul, are pushing the state to' order this re-assessment at the cost of $50,000, in order that they might get a fat and lucretive job on paid commissions, should it be appointed. | I believe that the opinion of every right minded voter in this county is that the first thing for the state commission to do is to make a thorough inquiry into the primary cauoe of our difficulty—stop the leaks, and things will, in time, right themselves, Yours for right, John Baker, Assessor, Tenstrike, Minn.

Parties owning real estate should bear in mind that taxes should be paid upon each description - on or before the 31st day of May. Owing to the fact that Saturday]| and Sunday, May 30 and 31, are legal holidays the tax payer will be obliged io make pamyent not later than May 29. Should payment not be made be- fore this date, a penalty of ten per- cent attaches on June 1 to all paid taxes. Those who wish to take advant- age of the law, which gives the tax- payer the privelege of paying one half of his real estate taxes before June 1, the balance payable in Oc- tober. In any event, one half the taxes should be paid be- fore it becomes delinquent, to avoid the penalty. We would suggest that parties living within the city limits or near the city pay their taxes as soon as possible, thus giving the treasurer an opportunity to take care of the farm- ers or other parties coming from a distance. un- Rainy River Bill Killed.
