The Clark‘county auditor had the assessors blanks distributed by the as­ sessors last year and in this manner found 876 new tax payers, which ad­ ded over a million to the duplicate.

The same plan in the city found 2.172 new tax payers that increased the city duplicate a million and a half, The combined gain was oyer 3,000 new tax. payers and over three million on the duplicate. Judge Geiger has re­ fused to let the Auditor send out the blanks in the same manner this year and.they will be mailed as re­ quired by law .Here was a casp whore the county auditor knew more how to get property listed for. taxation, than the legislature that is composed most­ ly o f politicians, WHAT THE COMMUN­ ITY CLUBREALLY IS.
