indianapolis, July 16.-General Lew

of the National Anti-Imperialistic
League here Aug. ID to Il. He is be-
ing urged by correspondence to accept
the position, and it is believed that he
will accept. 1t is especially desired
that he preside because of his national
reputation and his avowed hostility to
the expansion policy of the present
administration. 1t is expected that if

On accepting the chair that will be
good campaign material for the anti
imperialists. The national leaders of
the Democracy are looking forward to
the coming meeting with 4 great deal
of interest. If they have their way the
league will adopt resolutions commit
ting anti-imperialists to the support of
the ticket nominated on the Demo-
cratic national platform, which en-
bodies the ideas for which the league
is contending. Such an Endorsement,
il is felt, would mean 3 great deal to
the Democratic cause.

The plan proposed by

ably. But their great earnings last
year amply justified such increases.
The Rock Island would have been re-

duction. The changes in the other trunk
lines would have been noteworthy.
.The assessment as fixed for this
year presents some highly entertaining
s.incongruities.' and do not believe
that they can be satisfactorily exc
planned to the public. It will be re-
called that the governor alleged that
the council has had general plan
which 1t has followed for a score of
years in assessing railroads turnout

present council refused to deviate from

strated that such general plan, II there
was any, must have been the assess

Let us examine the ratios of assess
ments to gross earnings for various
railroads as Shown by the late unfortu-
nate assessment. The average percent
age for the state of gross earnings
taken for assessment is 30 per cent. The
Northwestern was assessed at 20 per
cent. Taking the latter as a base line,
let US observe the percentages inflicted
on seven trunk lines and on nine of the
smaller roads as shown below:
