How the State Board of Equalization Sue
cessfully Turned All the Corners.
The Bismarck Tribune says: The &C.
lions of the state board of equalization
will meet with general approval. The
question Of taxation and equalization of
assessments is a very difficult problem
and in the present instance the question
was made more complicated by the fact
that the last legislature failed to make a
tax levy rs required by the constitution,
leaving the board without any authority
whatever to lexy a tax-except that Of
public policy, the action to be ratified
was the question of railroad taxation,
a question that has always been in dis.
pute. and the further problem of how to
obtain sufficient revenue to run the
state even under the maximum tax lew
allowed by the constitution. The board
got around all the A compro
mise was effected with the Northern
Pacific whereby that company will pay
upon its land and roadbed, promptly
and without litigation. 1t will pay on
this years assessment something like
$l65,000. The Great Northern and
other roads, paying on gross earnings,
will bring the railroad tax in the state
up to 1926, 600. The total valuation of
the state is 500, 000, 600 in round figures
and the levy as fixed by the board will
bring $3.50, 900 for the general fund and
$45, 900 for interest fund. This is out
side o fexpress licenses, elevator licenses,
etc. 1t is believed the total revenue
will equal $4O0, 900, which will run tbs
state and maintain all her institutions
in proper shape.

Mr.. Webb Testifes.

CHICAGO, Sept. 8.-The second great
strike of the carpenters in this year has
gone into effect. OF the 5000 members
of the craft in the city, less than 1000
resumed work, and by night it is ex-
pected that most of these will have
Joined the strikers. The strike is much
more general than had been anticipated
by either of the employing associations,
and far more unanimous than the pro-
motors had hoped for. The men de-
mand the eight-hour day and 374 cents
an hour and arbitration of all disputes.
The strike differs from the one inaugu-
rated last May in that any contractor
that comedies the terms demanded will
be furnished men by the Carpenters
council. Last spring the carpenters re-
fused to treat with the contractors ex-
cent as IN association.

The PRESS was the first to point
out the advantages to be gained by
bonding the school district and erect
ing a school building in keeping with
the prosperity and growth of the
town, instead of spending money to
remodel and enlarge the old building.
Its views have been adopted by the
board and the town will have a school
building, to which the people may
point with pride, Notwithstanding
the dense ignorance and opposition
displayed by charley wilson, whose
whole taxes for school purposes would
not purchase a spelling book. The
blatant blatherskite, whose vacant
stare brands him as a BOBBY, bellows
like a bull because he could not, by
his opposition, block the desire of
the people, and says the PRESS is op.
posed to public enterprise. Now that
the stand taken by the PRESS has been
endorsed by the board it must make
the bigoted blow.hard feel very
small.

Carpenters Nearly All Back to Work.
Unemployed Ones Protest.
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Ihe carpenters
strike inaugurated Tuesday, is, to all ap-
pearances already ended. At the head
quarters of the strike committee of the
carpenters council it was stated that
fully 1000 men have returned to work
at the rate of pay and terms demanded
and that not over 600 men are now idle
on account of the strike.
This Looks Different.
A committee was appointed to visit
the Carpenters council and vigorously
protest against any of the men being
allowed to return to work until all the
men receive the assurance from their
employers that the union scale of figures
would be paid. There is confusion and
chaos in the rank and file, and consterE-
alton among the leaders. The employ
ers claim that they have all the men
they want.

PrrTsBURa, Sept. 2.-The German flag
was pulled down, torn to shreds and
trampled under foot in Allegheny by
Junior o. U. A.. M. men. 1t vas car
ried by the bakers contingent in the
labor parade. At Rich street and North
avenue II aide vas prevailed on by
some members of the Junior Order Of
United American Mechanics to order
the obnoxious flag hauled down. The
bearer refused and raised the banner
higher and unfurled it to the wind. The
aide rode off and the spectators began to
jeer. There were a large number of
Junior order men around and they were
particularly incensed They called back
the aide and insisted that
The German Flag BE Removed.
The officer thus urged rode into the
ranks aud took hold Of the banner. He
tried to take it away from the men who
carried but the men in the ranks quickly
surrounded the aide and essayed to beat
him eff. Policeman Diebold, of the
Allegheny force, dashed into the thick
of the fight and beat the horse and rider
with his mace. For a time it seemed
that the champions of the flag would
win. Therefore the Junior O. U. A. M.
who had encouraged the aide to remove
the flag took part.
Canes and Fists Were Used,
resulting in black eyes and torn clothes.
Policeman Diebold was roughly ham
died. Despite the efforts of the bakers
and the policemen the flag came down.
The Junior Order mon then secured the
banner and in about a minute all SEM
blance to a country's emblem was gone.
The silk was torn to shreds and the men
trampled them under foot. Having
won the victory they shouted america
for Americans;' "the Stars and Stripes
the only banner on our Streets" and
other patriotic sentiments. They re-
tired and the bakers closed up their
ranks and proceeded on their way.
They threaten vengeance. No arrests
We're made.
