The impression seems to have been created in the minds of some of our people that the State Board of Equalization had raised the taxes on Bates county property ten per cent. This is an error. The assess | ment of Bates county was raised 10 per cent. Under the law there must be a fairness in the equalizing lof taxation and each county in the state must bear its just proportion In this respect if the assessors fail to do their duty in assessing real and personal property, making the county fall short of its just pro rata, then itis not only the duty, but obligatory upon the state board to adjust the assessments. The duties of the siate board are in line with the duties of the county boards of equalization, which meet once a year to equalize township as- sessments. To make each county in the state bear its equal propertion of taxes there must be some way fixed by law to get at the matter, and this is why boards of equalization and boards of appeals are created There- fore, if the board of this county has a grievance at the action of the state board for having raised the aseess- ment of this county on real and personal property, it bas its re- course before the state board of appeals, which meets later. The state board of equalization is com- posed of democrats, and if their action in raising ass-ssments was done ona political basis, they cer- tainly would not have picked out one of the strongest democratic counties in the state upon which to praetice imposition.

Washington, D. ©, April 10.— Daniel W. Voorhees of Indiana, for twenty years one of the most con- spicuous members of the United States Senate, died suddenly at 5| o’clock this morning at his Washing- ton residence, 105 Maryland avenue, southeast. The Senator had been in poor health for several years and for at least two years past had taken little part in the procsedings in the Sen- ate. He had been a constant sufferer from rheumatism of the heart, and his friends had come to expect that they might hear of his death sud- denly.

Many doctors say that consumption is incurable and necessarily fatal. Zkey are mistaken. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery will cure 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, if taken prompt- ly according to directions. It has cured thousands. It is quickly absorbed by the blood and searches out every disease germ in the body. It assists nature to throw off germs and all effete matter and restores the body to perfect health and strength.
