Tha State Board of Equalisation and As
sessment met this morning with Tax Com
missioner Fleming, City Attorney Wright
and T. J, M&honey of Omaha, at tha re
adiest of tha Utter, who desired an ex
pression from tha board as ta tha taxation
of credits and debits. Tha matter waa
discussed for soma time, tha decision from
th kmi-h K.inv thit it was none of It I
frir tn in th ram a at this time. The I
Jn embers further advised Mr. Fleming that
it waa In all nrnhahuitv hla duty to take
tha advice of the city attorney, of Omaha
tn tha matter. Mr. Wright's opinion was
that tha law In tha case meant for tha I
assessors to tax the net credits. J
Tha board will not ba a board officially I
until tha lth day of December, when It
Is supposed to meet and organise, conae-
fluently tha talk today waa merely lnfor-
mal. It is tha opinion of tha board, how-
aver, that the matter discussed waa afba
.local affair and It had nothing to do with
It anyhow. If the jobbers of Omaha don't

WHAT THE INDIAN NEEDS
Less Material aa More Spiritual Aid,
Saya an American Mia
slenary.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 21. Today's session
of ' the American Missionary association
was targely devoted to reports on ths
Chinese and Japaneae missions In church
work tn th south.
Th chief feature of these seasions was
the report on Indian snd Alaskan missions,
presented Dy Rev. Robert McLaughlin
of Grand Rapids, Mich. He emphasised
the fact that the Indians are relatively few
In number: Gather all the Indians, he
said, from the Gulf , to the Canadian line
and from the Atlantio to the Pacific toid
you will then have a city about the slie of
Milwaukee.
The negro question, numerically, la forty
times as great as the Indian question. Th
Indian reservations today, the speaker con
tinued, cover an area equal- to ull the New
England atates. Newi Tork. New Jersey and
half of Pennsylvania. The Indian .Suva In

divided equally among them and the 250,000
receiving it should go upon their aeparate
reserves aa a nation, they would constitute

of th arth.
Tne Indian possesses tne most elaborate
and extensive school system ever estab
lished by a "nation for its dependent chil
dren. He haa more school houses than he
knows what to do with. Viewed from th
standpoint of governmental administration,
I the problem today Is really how wisely to
I do less for him, how to givs him an appll-
I cation of his work, based upon his charac
I ter.
I It Is here, declared Mr. McLaughlin, that
I the United States government has failed,
I It has never found the real Indian. The
I Christian church can do for the Indian
I that what the civil government cannot do

As a result Mrs. Tlgard was readily per
suaded to com her to visit her slatsr,
Th meeting waa an affecting one. Th

peared. There Is bo trace whatsoever of
the other two boys. Mra Harrington has
no remembrance whatsoever of them. Mrs,
