LIABLE TO MAKE MANY CHANGES Poeallsta an Democrats Propose to Make a Test of Rutins; of Attorney- General an the Primer r I-arr. (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July .-8pecial.) The Btate Board of Equalization la going Into the matter of assessment, probably more thor oughly than any board ha ever done. The resolve to do this Is the reault of an ap parent dropping off In the Increase and an apparent gradual falling; off or a failure to keep up with the vigorous values of 1304. Members of the 'boar 4 fear there Is a dis position on the part of assessors and equal ising boards to drop back In the old days of the old revenue law, when about as much property escaped taxutlon aa was taxed. While It Is Impossible for the board to secure the Individual schedules In all caws, a few will be sent for and exam ined. Another matter that Is going to occupy the attention of the board Is the different values placed on the same Item of property by counties which are In the same territory. Members of the board realise there may be a reason for this, but on the face of the abstracts no reason Is shown. For Instance hogs are valued at considerable leas In some counties than In adjoining territory. This may be caused by different Judgment on the part of as sessors or It may be the large hogs In some comities are few In number and small pigs numerous In other counties, which brings down the average value. A few blooded animals In one county may bring up the average, while the absence of blooded stock may make the other county's stock seem valued too low. In one county bicycles havo been assessed at 45 cents each, while In the adjoining county bicycles are as sessed at $C each. Hoard members say there may be some excuse for this, but they don't know Just what the excuse Is. As It rSU be Impossible for the board to have all the assessors come In and explain these things, a number of Individual assess ments will be sent for and these used as far as possible as a basis upon which to work.' Secretary Bennett Is preparing a table, showing the counties by groups. Comparisons will be made of counties In the various groups. The board will meet again Monday morning. Test of Primary Law. The candidacy of John L. Sundean of Wuhoo for regent of thn state university will be the basis of a suit to test the opinion of the attorney general holding fusion could not be permitted under the state primary law. Sundonn filed his name today with the secretary of staie to go on the populist ticket as a candi date. Immediately thereafter T. S. Alleu and twenty-five other democrats filed a petition that he also be placed on the democratic ticket. Secretary of State Junktn refused to place the name on both tickets, and application will be made to the supremo court Monday for a man damus to compel the secretary to do so. Judge Sedgwick or Barnes will hear the case Tuesday. ' New State 'Depository. The Klrst National bank of Dodge, In Dodge county, has qualified as a state depository and today was given $7,501' deposit which has heretofore been In the First National bank of Fremont. The Podge bank filed a surety bond for 7,&00. The two bonks are In the same county, and the Fremont institution refused to pay the 3 per cent Interest asked by the state treasurer. . Uruphnphone for Commissioners. . The State Railway commission Is now about in shape to do something, having thus today equipped Its office with a now graphophono. Not the kind that saws the air with southern melodies as sung by a chorus, but one of those which ahsorbs things that are said, to be ground out later at the instance of the commissioners. Toduy the stenographer to the commis sioner, who took the testimony In the cose where the cltlsons of Lincoln are trying to get six street car fares for 25 cents, Is reading her notea Into the thing, and at her leisure she will have1 her own voice tossed back at her, when she will put the stuff on the typewriter. Or It the transcript Is not needed until the present stenographer has outlived her usefulness, some other person may listen to her voice and do the transcribing. A member of the commission said the graphophone would be useful because the notes of a stenographer are hard to read after they have been In the archives for some time and anyone could write dictated words, such aa come from this machine. Incidentally this street car hearing will probably occupy several days next week. It was thought at first thts hearing would be of Importance to the state, but It will not, because If any other city wants to get six fares for 26 cents it will have to ge through the same performance. And yet the time of the commission will be taken up for at least a solid week, by which time It likely will be too late to get out a grain rate In time to 'help the farmers. Look Ins After Pass Holders. The State Railway commissioners have truck on an Idea which they believe will wipe out the pass evil In Nebraska forever. The anti-pass law provides that employes of railroad entitled to passes must be em ployed for the greater portion of their time. The commission has the names of all the pasaholders. It Is considering now tyinglng In several of the attorneys and asking them If they are employed for the greater portion of their time and If they devote the greater portion of their time to looking after railroad business. Then they will ask the attorney what he does. It Is not at all unlikely that an order to this effect will be issued shortly. Just at this time the commission has not figured out how to proceed tq get the lawyers and doctors on the carpet, but by the first of the week a plan will be adopted. That la unless Lincoln's demand for stx street car fares for a quarter takes up all the time of the state commission. Hehre.ak.ans Dark from Convention. Superintendent McBrten has returned from his trip to Ios Angeles, where he attended the meting of the National Edu cational association.

(Special.) despite the predictions of many, the copious rains and torrid weather of the past two weeks have been productive of much good, especially In forcing the growth of the main cereal, corn. The corn fields during the last ten days have shnwr. marvelous growth the condition of the crop being fully up to the average of other years, many early fields showing the tassels. Winter wheat is exceptionally good, as Is also oats. The first harvesting of winter wheat in the county was done on the farm of John Mclxiughlln, lost Saturday. Early oats and rye are now ready for the binder. The hay crop Is going to be heavy, but the wet weather prevailing so far has prevented the farmers from cutting, except In rare Instances. FOOTPRINTS LEAD TO RIVER Girl Ties Ribbon to Tree and Is Sup posed to Have Drowned Herself, SCHUYLER. Neb., July 30.-(Speclal Tele gram.)

Cltl sens of Glltner have organised the Glltner Commercial club. The first matter taken up by the club after organizing, was the fact that there Is a discrimination between Glltner and Harvard In the matter of prices paid for grain. The freight rate from Har vard to Omaha Is a cent more per 100 on wheat than from Glltner to Omaha, and It la generally known that Harvard has been allowed to pay 1 to 4 cents more a bushel than the buyers In Glltner, and aa a con sequence a great deal of trade Is lost by this town every year for this reason. It looks as though the buyers here could be allowed to pay a cent more than at Har vard when the freight rates are taken Into consideration. The matter has already been taken up with tho commission and a satisfactory adjustment is expected. Rescued from Drowning;. PLAINVIKW. Neb., July 20 (Special.) Friday the three-year-old son of O. B. Aykers was playing on the walk near the depot and In some way slipped and fell headlong Into about three feet of water. The little fellow went down twice, when he was rescued by a farmer.

SOUTHERN RATES REDUCED Grain Charter o Galveston Are Found lTnreasona.ble by Com nilanlunrr Proaty. WASHINGTON, July 20. Cases Involving the freight rates on grain from points of produetion In Kansas to Kansas City, Mo.; Kansas City, Kan., and Galveston, Tex., were decided today by the Interstate Com merce commission, the opinion being ren dered, by Commissioner Prouty. The cases were those of the Farmers, Marchants and Shippers' club of Kansas City against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and the Gulf, Colorado A Santa Fe, and against the Chi cago. Rock Island ft Pacinc and other lines. The complntnt put In Issue the reasona bleness of defendants' rates on grain from Wichita and other shipping points 1n Kan sas to Kansas City, Mo., and to Galveston, Tex., for export, and to various destina tions In Texas for domestic consumption. The commission found that the rates to Galveston for export and to the various t di-sllnations In Texas for domestic con sumption are unreasonable of themselves nnd ordered reductions ranging from i to 6 cents per 100 pounds to be made. It appeared that the rates from the ship ping points must be the same to Kansas City, Mo., and to Kansas City, Kan., and that after the complaint was died tho leg islature of Kansas reduced 15 per cent the rates to the latter point, whereupon de fendants, after accepting the reductions, reduced correspondingly the rates to Kan sas City, Mo. For these reasons the com mission took no action concerning the lat ter rates. The destination points In Texas are divided Into groups, numbered 1, 2, I and 4; at the hearing representatives of the city of Lancaster contended that that city should be transformed from group 2 to group 1, and the commission upheld this contention. Vndue discrimination against the shipping points In favor of Kansas City, Mo., was alleged, but the commission refused to sustain that feature of the complaint. BRYAN BACKS UP ON ONE ISSUE ays Government Osarnblp Will Wot Be laWted Into .tit Campaign. LINCOLN. July !0. -(Special.) W. J. Bryun.

Mr. Brpan fully agrees with those who believe that It would be unwise to turn attention from regulation, on which the people are reaily to act, t government ownership, upon which the people art not ready to act. To Inject the government ownership question Into the next campaign would simply give representatives of the railroads a chance to dodge the Issue of regulation and de ceive the public. Bo far, the railroads have been success ful In preventing effective federal regula tion, and state regulation has, as a rule, been restrained by the United States courts.
