British minister to Japan, who is return

cation at home, was a cabin passenger
on the steamship Campania which dock

the best interests of the tax payers I
think that the action should be taken
for the best interests of the borrowers
of money. A large per cent of the pro-
perty sold for taxes already carries a
mortgage This will work a hardship as
a man can borrow money at 8 and per
cent upon tax certificates to pay taxes
instead of paying the county 10 per cent
interest under this new rule.
This resolution will retard loan and
business as it will frightenr eastern in
vestorS. Tt makes their security less
certain. / don't suppose this board is
bound to take any action or decline to
take any action that will put money in
the pockets of the eastern investors but
believe it will hurt mOrtgagOrS in the
county by Fastening foreclosures. It
seems to me that it is the interests of
the mortgagor that you should look af
ter instead of the tax payers at large.
BY this resolution man will be COM
PEELED to pay is per cent interest ON de-
faulted taxes. I can't see how the mort
gagor is to be helped.
This introduces a great many uncer-
tainties into tax laws. At the end of
three years the tax titles will be faulty
and it will take years to go through the
courts before tax deeds can be made
good. This works a hardship the
borrower. His property is not only sold
but he has to pay 10 per cent As it is
now poor man whose property Is put
up has the chance of competitive bid
ding. He may have $50 acres of land,
one bidder says he will pay the taxes for
60 acres, another agrees to 40 acres, still
another to 20 acres and another to 10
acres That man has the benefit of COM
petitive bidding while this way the coun-
ty treasurer is the bidder at a fixed
price 1t is also question whether the
legislature has the right to take proper
ty and sell it without a public sale and
due process of law
Frank Thomas said: 1.-THE county mas
advertised to sell the land put up FOR

BIG STRIKE PREDICTED.
Expected That $4,000 Coal Miners
Will Stop Work.

Indianapolis, Sept. Tn my opinion
there will be a strike in the anthra-
cite region of Pennsylvania, and it will
be the biggest that the United States
has ever known" said President John
Midhall of the United Mine Workers of
America today.
I'VE have formulated our demands
for an advance Of about 20 per cent in
wages and the removal Of certain con-
ditions that exist in the anthracite re-
gion. Principal among these is. that
the operators in dealing with the miners
allow 3, 300 pounds to a ton and in SELL
ing coal sell 1000 pounds for a ton
IF the strike is ordered believe that
100000 men will come out. OF course,
do not mean that these men will lay
down their tools at once, but strike
spirit is like war spirit, it grows con-
tinuously and when once part of the
men are out in an effort to better their
condition the others will quickly follow.

1ieve that 5000 men will quit the first

The county commissioners listened to
arguments against their action in adopt
ing the resolution to have the county
treasurer bid in the delinquent tax lands
at next Tuesdays sale. No one so far
has championed the resolution except
the commissioners and all that the COM
missioners have heard in the way of ar
guments have been against the new
method, yet the commissioners refused
to reconsider their action. They have
not heard from the mass Of taxpayers
who will re benefited by the order.

announcing the annual tax sale has been
