THE TAX LAW PROBLEM. County Auditor Cook Shows Why Assessm- ill^ Should ho .Hade Not by the Tax payer llimsell. Cor. News and Courier. Lancaster, Jan 31 ?The hill for revising the tax laws of the State is attracting some attention here, as well as elsewhere The consensus of opinion here I is that the proposed changes do not promise much, if any, improvement in the present laws Among those with whom your correspondent has discussed the matter is County Auditor Cook, who is one of the most intelli gent and etticient public officials in the State Though a young man lie has had several years' experience as county auditor, and having been raised on a farm, and being a succesful farmer himself, he is well equipped to look at this troublesome tax and assessment business from both sides?that is to say, from the standpoint pf a farmer and taxpayer and as a public official, whose duty it is to see that all property is properly assessed for taxation. In the interview your correspondent had with him Mr Cook said : "Yes 1 have read the general tax bill as reported by the ways and means committee, and in my judgment, it should be amended in several important prrticulars, especial ly in the matter of taking the tflvn.iirpi'a rohirna Tn rrr\* of ' ** ? WI u ? v v V* I ?*" < V K < > V the actual valuation of property It would be much better to have appointed for that purpose three of the best business men ?land owners?in each township, and provide them with the hooks, as mentioned, for the Comptroller (leneral to furnish. And let the three men so appointed cjo on every taxpayer's / farm in thoir territory, and, in the presence of the owner, assess his lands, buildings, and personal property then and there. The chairman of each township board should be a member of the county board of equalization Tho duty of the latter beard should be to hear grievances of taxpayers assessed by the township boards. "Where the county board of equalization approves tho as sessments made by the township assessors such board should turn same over to the county auditor, in order that he may thereby make up his duplicates and cal culate the taxes from the assess meuts made by the townships assessors and approved by the county board "I am confident that tho bill as reported will not give satisfaction. It requires, for instance, that the township as sessors shall meet with the county auditor at certain places in the township and assess a man's property that neither the audi tor nor the board of assessors has ever seen. For example : A has a very poor sand hill farm e i i ? i ui uik- miliaria acres, nor actually worth more than three dollars on acre, and he has a 'rip' of a mule worth about twentyfive dollars Never having seen the land nor the mule, would it be right for the township assessors to assess such land at six dollars tin acre and such mule at seventy-five dollars? Now as to the assessment of property in the month of August and September, 1 do not see how auditors could attend to such work at that time of the ye^r. During those two months auditors are very busy calculating the taxes and making up the dupli rates for the treasurers to collect the taxes by. ult is clear to my mind that if we are to have anything like equality in assessment and taxa tion that the Legislature will have to provide, as 1 have suggested, tor the appointment of mree men in each township, whoso duty it shall ho to visit in person each man's farm and assess his lands and personal property at what they believe to he their real market value " Auditor Cook's view accord exactly with those of other intelligent citizens here. The prevailing idea is that if there is to he equality and fairness in the assessment of property and collection of taxes the assessment must be made, not by the taxpayer himself, but by hone-t, disinterested citizen in the same community, who makes a personal inspection and examination cf every man's property in their jurisdiction Caught in the Act. A woman suspected that her husband was in the habit of kissing the servant girl and resolved to detect him in the act. On Saturday night she Haw him quietely j pass into the kitchen. The servj ant girl was out and the kitchen was dark. The jealous wile took a few matches in her hand, and hastily placing a shawl over her head, as the girl often did, entered the back door, and immediately she was seized and kissed and embraced in an ardent manner. With heart almost bursting the wife prepared to administer a ter rible rebuke to t he faithless spouse and tearing herself away fiom his fond embrace, she struck a match and stood face to face with ?the gardener. it' ? v-?r> i.i r* 4ii ?

The remains of Christophe Columbus were recently placed in the cathedral at Seville. Referring to this tact, the Seville correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle says: "It is especially appropriate that Christopher Columbus should lie in Seville cathedral, it being the last rest nig place ot Ferdinand III, of Castile, who sent the discoverer forth to sail to India, and the Italian's son also named Ferdinand. This is the sixth time that the body of Columbus has been buried. He died at Valladolid, in Spain, and his remains found a resting place there. In 1513 they were dug up again and car ried off to Santo Domingo, in Cuba, and once more committed to the earth. The year 1790 saw them disinterred again, to be placed in the cathedral at Ila vana, and 100 years later they were exhumed once more and brought back to Spain." /Mysterious Circumstance.
