Show '- ASSESSORS SHOULD H :' BE JUST ABsessors should not only bo rca- Bhb ' sonable. thoy should be Just. It Is Bl i their duty or course to perform tho Hi I' duties of their office In accordance BJ with law, but It is ovident from cus- BJ toms established that In the matter BJ of Improvements much discretion Is BBl permitted. Now wo have hundreds of BJ acres or tho best orchard land that BJ can be found right hero In this v.U- BJ ley, and It ought to bo planted to BBl trees. Men should bo encouraged to BJ plant orchards, because tho raising BJ of fruit advertises your county ns be- BJ lng worth something, attracts home- BJ seekers, Invites capital, and gives BJ work and employment to hundreds of BJ men and women. In our opinion or- JH chards should bo given a right of way BJ free from assessments ns Improve- BJ ments, at least until thoy begin to JH bear fruit. Such a policy will encour- M age tho building nnd beautifying of m homes and streets, tho planting of or- B charils, and other Improvements or B our lands, In order that our county B will grow nnd bo known for all that B Is good and rich In the earth should B be pursued. Glvo tho fellow who HBf loads up on vacant lots, and broad B acres that ho permits to He m unproductive, and unimproved until M his neighbors, through toll and ox- H penso, makes It possible for him to BJ reap tho harvest of their labors, a BJ . chance at the assessment wagon. Let BJ, him pay tribute for being permitted Bj to sit Idly by and watch his neigh- J ' bor work and spend money. Tho mp.n J who works, spends his money, and Br. builds up tho country should recelvo j his reward. BBrV .t |
