While here Mr. Anthes took up the mat ter with E. B. Oaddls, member of the new tax commission, and discussed mat ters pertaining to the inequalities of the present methods and Its inability to meet the present needs. Ho said that there were only two cities in the country out side of Omaha that were assessed onlv 30 per cent of their value and he believes that something will have to be done In Douglas county to bring about a different method of taxation In order to meet the bond issues coming due very soon. Mr. Anthes said that in the opinion of Mr. Gaddls, the new commission had a problem before them to solve which would take a lot of Btudy and hard work to meet. Mr. Gaddls has made the taxation business a study for years and he be lleves that with the assistance of the other members of the board that a plan can be devised which will be of great value to the state in the way of raising revenue and raising it so that all sections and all taxed will bear an equitable share.

IT PAYS I PROGRESSIVE WOODMEN MEET!& Perfect State Organization to Be Known as Progressives. F. C. NICHOLSON IS PRESIDENT Ilranlatlon Adopted Set Forth the Objections of the Irour'l vm to the l'rmriit State of A f fnlrn. , Progressives, as they choose to call themselves, representing several state camps of the Modern Woodmen of Amer ica, have perfected a new organization to be known as a progressive body. Officers were elected as follows: Presi dent, F .C. Nicholson, Nebraska City; secretary, W. D. Wood, Omaha; treas urer, C. H. Puis, Omaha. Executive committee: II. M. Bushnell, Lincoln; C. A. Smith, Tllden; J. C. Peter sen, York; E. A. Wallroth, Osceola; It. J. Sutton, Omaha; H. C. Stafford, Omaha. The following resolutions were adoptod and show the nature of the organization: Whereas, The executive council of our society has referred the question of rate readjustment to the camps and members of the Jurisdiction, asking them to In struct tfielr delegates In regard to what action, t any, they deSIro the 1914 head camp to take, and, Attains! Xnv nates. Whereas, While we believe our Ne braska membership aro largely opposed to the re-enactment of the so-called "Chicago rates" In the next head cump, still It Is apparent that the great ma jority realize that a substantial Increase In the rates of assessment Is necessary to avoid the pitfalls Into which other orders have fallen, and. Whereas, We aro convinced that the ccntinuutioi! of the orluhml iMirront cot. pest mortem plan, which only provided for as many aHseiuimrnts as were neces rary to meet death losses, carrying with that plan rioubln-nender assessments in later yeurs to offset the InrrouHlng death rate, would be decidedly detrimental.

TRY HAYDEN'S FIRST of forty years, currying with it a largely iuob ; w jvuin it i j v l I v in nun uimioihd increased death loss, tms increase, in fact, being so pronounced that for four Huccesslve months this year, the monthly death claims hnvo exceeded tho amount collected from the monthly assessments, this deficiency amounting tn several hundred thousand dollars, which experi ence convinces us that eventually thn death losres will increase still more tapldly and will require a considerable additional sum to meet such losses, and, rrolunic I'resrnt Conditions. Whereas. The Indefinite) postponement of a solution of this perplexing problem, or even for another three-yeur period, will of necessity prolong the present un ratlsfactory condition, thereby effectually Interfering with the growth and develop ment of our society, so much desired by every loyal member. Thereforo bo It Itesolved, That some compromise propo sition should be presented to the ramps and members, go-king a solution of this question In the next head camp In a manner satisfactory to the membership, and with a desire to create harmony and rencli a conclusion satisfactory to all, Itesolved, Further, That wo favor a SO per cent Increase over thn present rates of asseKsment on all ages ut date of entry, and that such proposal of Increase be submitted to the camps and members of this state for their consideration in compliance with the recently enacted Ini tiative and referendum law in our state. Itesolved, Further, That we should and wo do hereby petition the executive council to call an advisory referendum vote through the official paper on tho question of rates, as herein proposed.

Superintendent Kelso of the Nebraska and Kansas lines of the Itock Island, with headquarters at Falrbury Is not Inclined to believe that small grain has been materially damaged by the warm and dry weather of tho last ten days, oxceptlng 'perhaps In western KanHas. He has Just completed a trip over all of the lines west of Omaha and summing p tho situation, says: "In my Judgment, take the entire coun try from Omaha to Phllllpsburg, Kan., for 24S miles, conditions are quite satis factory. It think It Is safe to place the average yield at eighteen 1 bijshels per acre for wheat. West of Phllllpsburg tho crop will be short, but out thore a crop Is never by any means certain. Over tha J eountry from Phllllpsburg east to Falr bury the yield may not exceed fifteen bushels per acre. However, east of Falrbury and all through southern Ne braska conditions are very much bettor and many of tho fields will run as high as twenty-riva bushels. In northern Kansus the harvest Is pretty well along and everywhere the quality of the wheat Is perfect. Through tho southern counties of Nebraska con siderable of the wheat has been out and In mobt Instances is coming up to ex pectations of the farmers. There the quality Is of tho best.
