Compelled to Make a Cut to Compete With Water Rcutc From Facific Coast by Way of Panama Canal TO EXPOSE TAX SHIRKERS IS PLAN Publication of Values Urged by the State Tax Commissioner A f Most Successful Plan. .State Tax Commissioner W. II. Os borne lias written county clerks a letter urging them to publish the tax rolls in. their respective coun ties, lie recently addressed a similar request to county assessors. As a result lie now testifies that where ever the publicity plan has been tried it has enlarged the taxable valuation of the county and to that extent has more equally distributed the burden of taxation. County boards have option power under the law Jo cause the publica tion of each taxpayer's property valuation for taxation purposes. In some counties where tried it has opened the eyes of many to inequali ties and to much tax shirking. The state tax commissioner's let ter to county clerks says: "It is to be conceded by every one who is. in any way, connected with the administration of the tax laws of this state, that there is a consider able amount of property that is es caping its just burden of taxation. This can. in a measure, be remedied by concerted effort on the part of those whose duty it is to administer the laws and to that end an effort should be made to see to it that all property is listed for taxation and that none escapes. "In a circular letter directed to you under date of May 11. 1921. it was requested that you place before the county board the feasibility of the publication of the tax roles. In j counties where this has been tried.' rueh results have been accomplished as to clearly demonstrate that the plan is a success and is a real rein ed.', for some of the complaints with reference to high taxes. "I think we all confess a desire for a reduction in taxes, but it does litle good to complain where a remedy is not suggested. The one great trouble with the administration of the revenue law is our inability to compel nn equal listing of prop erty, and if by publishing the tax roli. it enlarges the taxable valua tion of your county, then just to that extent will the burden be more equitably distributed "It might seem that- .this was somewhat of a drastic provision, but if drastic provisions are necessary to compel the proper listing of prop erty for taxation, then I em con vinced that it should lie pursued. "I should like verv much that you ort to me the action of your coon I i.ard. after you have presented to them in y letter along tins hue under date of Mav 11. 121. and if you have already started publicity. I would appreciate it if you would ad-i vise nnetiy wnat me resun. na? been." Mr. and Mrs. John P. Sattler Enjoy Passing of Their Wedding Anni versary Sunday.

Reductions of i frc'ght rates on certain commodities; approximating 1'0 por cent has been derided on I y all transcontinen'a! railways west of Chicago, it was an nounced today by C. Luce, freight trallic manager of the Southern Fa cific railway. This decision was readier! at a meeting today of execu tive officers of all the roads affected. The reduction was decided up on to enable the roads to meet competi tion of the w;.ter lines operating through the Fanama canal. The westbound rate---, it was de clared, have been checked to supply from points in ea.icin defined trans continental territori i cs. groups "A" io "J", inclusive, ts. Facilic roast ter minals only. In addition to the con currence of eastern carriers, if will be necessary to file applications with the interstate commerce commission for authority to apply io rates to ter minal points only, which involves waiving of the long and short haul clause of the inte rstate commerce act. Hast hound rates checked in will apply from Facific coast terminals and intermediate points to eastern defined territories, groups "A" to "J" inclusive, and will be made effective as soon as concurrences are obtained. These rates will not be made to ter- I mnial and. therefore, it will not be necessary to make applications to the interstate commerce commission for waivure of the long and short haul. Tiie east-bound rates will apply to beans, peas, canned salmon, canned goods, condensed milk, drd fruit and other comm odi ; ie.;,. The pro posed west bour.d date? would af fect canned goods, oil cloth, drucs and medicines, cotton piece goods, I.fl'ing. roofing, sewing machines, soap and wa:-hing compounds and other commodities.

After a week's deliberation the board1 has arrived at tentative per centages which will cut the present rates from 10 to IT. per cent, accord ing to th1 das sof employes affected. No estimate of the number of em ployes affected nor of the to'al slice in the railroads payroll has yet been ruade by the board, but figures di 3-cufs-.d in railroad c.icies place the cut r.t between $350.000.o"0 and MANY COULD HAVE TRAINING FOR ASKING Opportunity For Persons Receiving Compensation From Government to Take Up Vocational Training The former service men who are drawing compensation from the fed eral government as the result of their service, whether it is large or small, comes under the provisions of 1 lie law providing for vocational training and theyl can very readily secure this by making the proper application, and in making this application they .-an be readily assisted by apphin.; at the nearest post of the American Le gion where their blanks can be filled out and thev put in line for receiving aid. A great many of the pr-o.os re ceiving compensation have felt that should they receive the vnsi ion a! training they would lose the compen sation that they have been drawing but such is not th" case as their com pensation will start in anew as soon as they have finished their courses in school and have fitted themselves for other activities in life. There are a vast number of the .ser vice men who have since returning home found that the toll of war on their condition has been bra vie" than they imagined and that they are phy sically unfit to take up the work that they were engaged in prior to the war and therefore they are operating under a handicap that is checking their progress and retarding them from taking their proper place in life that they are justly entitled to and which the government desires that they have. If there is any service men that is drawing compensation and feels that he is not able to carry on his present work he should endeavor to secure t-his vocational training at the first opportunity. Lincoln. May 2 4 - An appropria tion of over ?2,4"0 was slipped in to the big appropriation bill at the last minute unknown to ; number of the members of the legislature, according to Senator Walter V. Hoagland of North Fiatte. who has written to State Auditor George Marsh in re gard to what he terms a '"steal." Tii" appropriation was to cover a bill presented to the state last fall by J. L. Jacobs, an auditor of Chi cago, who was called by tJovern'T McKelvio to put t ho .code bill inio op eration. Jacobs sent in a bill for $.".0 a day and txpenses. The toUd amount was $2,220. State Auditor Marsh refused to pay the claim on the ground that it was grossly exces sive. Jacobs began suit against the : fate in 'lie Lancaster county district court. ie asked that the state audi tor be . rdsred by the court to pay the claim which has been approved by the governor and .-secretary of fi nance, and the suit is still pending. Hoagland with other.; had ben watching closely to keep the appro priation out ol the big expense bill, but it evidently was slipped "in dur ing 'lie great hurry on the last night -.f the ses--ioM while tin 1 .11 was si ill in conference committee, according to Hoagland. "A party brought a report to me thai it was intended to slip this ap propriation into the bill in the sen ate and I was watching for it," says Hoagland in his Utter. "I went to S-nutor Hashce. the chairman of the finance commit ite and asked him if the committee had put it in th' bill or if they were contemplating plac ing it in the bill. Sena'or Iu dice toid me he hail heard nothing of it but he knew nothing about it. that it was not in the hill and was r.at con templated as far as he knew.

He named thorn as a national bulletin for the di -semination of unbiased political news and party opinions, prohibition, re duction of taxes., proper aliening of monopolies and disarmament as a feature of world peace.

"We want a daily paper Io be issued by the government. who--" news columns shall bo non-partisan, but whoso edi torials shall be bi-partisan." On the i:suo of prohibition, Mr. F.rvan saidt "The democratic party can not avoid the part it ha- had in bringing prohibition. I am proud of its part. I'.ut I am not proud of the part it has played in Ohio." Discussing monopolies. lie sail that where there was any excuse for the existence of cue. it 'diould be taken over by the government.
