Springfield, Ill.,, Nov. 90. = Judges
Humphrey and Grosscup, in the United
States court, at noon today refused an
injunction to restrain the board of equal
iZation from assessing the capital stock
OF the Chicago Union Traction Company
and Union Traction for 1900.
No written opinion in the case was
filed. Judge Grosscup stated orally at
length the reasons for his decision,
explaining later that Judge Humprey
would file written opinion. The Iili-
nois laws, he said, had erected certain
machinery for the administration of
the taxing power. The initial ma
chinery was found in the local asses
sor. The duty of the state board of
equalization. generally speaking, is to
equalize the assessment with respect
to the whole state. This board pos
sesses final review power and is the
highest degree one of the tribunals of
the state and is meant to be an in
dependent tribunal. 1T has no
more right" said he. ito de-
part from the exercise of it's
own Judgment in the disposition

alton than court of law or equity
has right to depart from its own
conscience. The fact that boards may
possibly have existed that have had
bad alliances with important tax pay
ers, or that have not discharged their
duty impartially with respect to the
state at large does not, in itself. take
away from the dignity and indepen-
dence of that law contemplated for
this branch of the taxing power"
Immediately after the decision was
announced assessments aggregating
seventy-five millions and involving
over million in 1900 taxes made by the
board of equalization as fair cash
valuation of the capital stock OF trac-
ton companies over and above the as
sessment of their tangible property
was made to take the place three
and half millions valuations made last
year as representing fair cash value
of the property assessed. The teachers
Federation estimate was one hundred
and twenty five millions.

ARE AFTER HOPKINS.
Illinois Congressman Has Incurred Dis
pleasure of Constituents.

Elgin H., Nov. 22.-There is a cyclone
of public sentiment developing out here
in the dairy districts OF northern 1lli-
rois that is calculated. when once loosed.
to play havoc with the political schemes
of one William Lorimer, ex-congress-
man from Chicago. Under the debris.
according to political weather prophets,
also will be buried the hopes and the
future of Congressman Albert j. Hop
kins, of Aurora, who recently was taken
into political partnership by the Chicago
man.
Voters of dairy districts believe that
there is more behind this Lorimer-
Hopkins combination than the alleged
plan, cunningly given currency by the
former. to make the Aurora man Sena-
tor Mason's successor should the oppor-
tunity offer They contend that there Is
a silent partner In this alliance whose
name is not mentioned in the political
FIRMS public title This silent member,
close friends of Hopkins openly charge,
is the oenmargarine interest. To hang
on to political power so that as in the
past. he may aid this interest is, they
assert, one of the chief reasons why

Washington, Nov. 22.-The president
today made the following appoint
ments:
William Crozier. chief Of ordinances,
with the rank of brigadier general.
James Miller. colonel of infantry.
Francis W. Mansfield, Lieutenant col
onel of infantry.
James B. Jackson, major OF infantry.
ELI L. Huggins, colonel Of cavalry.

The appointment of Crozier was made
largely upon the recommendation Of
Secretary Root Crozier has denaon-4
strated his ability in nearly every de-
partment of ordnance and has shown a
wide knowledge of all affairs pertain
ing to his profession. He was military
member for the United States at The
Hague peace conference and was largely
in bringing about an
agreement finally reached for more
humane conduct of war; Some differ
ence of opinion exists among army Off
GERS as to whether Crozier's appoint
ment is permanent or whether 1t is de-
tail of four years under the army re-
law. The opinion of Judge
General Davis is the appoints
ment is permanent.
Crozier will not retire until 1919 and
if the contention is sustained that his
appointment is permanent his term as
chief of ordnance will be nearly eight
cen years and will preclude all possi-
bility of any ordinance officers who
have heretofore outranked him IN Sc
curing that grade before they retire.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
IClinton Herald. i


II member of the family of the edi-
tor of the Ottumwa Courier should un-
fortunately become insane or If by any
means he should be led to study the
best and worst methods of caring for
the insane. very likely he would soon
learn that the state offers the best care
and the county the poorest. No insane
person should be kept in any county
home or poor house. 1t is safe to say
that not supervisor of Wapello coun-
ty, or, for that matter any supervisor
in the state, has ever given five min
utes to thoughtful consideration of the
best means of caring for insane, except
the one question of cost The board Of
control is to be commended for its
plain and truthful description of the
horrors of the county care of insane.

Hopkins open alliance with Lorimer
has stirred up storm of denunciation
from one end to the other of this con-

This step, his own friends admit, has
set at naught his long service of more
than a dozen years in the lower house.
1t has resulted. further, in close-range
review of his acts during this period
with the result that charges are made
by those who have been his stanchest
supporters that this is not the first time
he has lined up with Lorimer to the in
jury of the dairy districts.
From end to end of the district this
revolt is on. 1t is the chief subject of

topic that appeals most strongly Just

of milk to market or pound of butter

NO HOPE FOR SHIPPING BILL.
Friends Of the Measure Think opposi-
tion Is Too Great.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 22.-Opposi-
tion to the ship subsidy bill has de-
veloped to such an extent during the
last sixty days that, in the opinion
OF fnany persons supposed to be posted.
no determined effort will be made at
this session of congress to pass the
measure. In fact, there is rumor
current tonight that a conference was
recently held between the active pro-
moters of the subsidy scheme at which
1t was practically decided to abandon
the whole project for the present. The
situation was carefully gone over, and
it was positively decided. it is said. that
1t would be impossible to put the sub
sidy scheme before the people as re-
publican party measure,
There was. 1t is believed. some diff
ference Of opinion among the promoters
ss TO whether the whole matter should
be dropped, but there was no question
as to the necessity of abandoning the
idea OF making 1t a party measure.
In the senate last year there was
at no time a real majority in favor
OF the ship subsidy bill. Many senators
had promised to vote for it before they
fully understood its provisions or be-
cause they considered it party pledge.
Many OF these men who would have
voted for the measure were really re-
sponsible for its failure to receive con-
sideration.
1t Is said that, at conference week
Or so ago, which was attended by G..
A. Griscom, Senator Frye and others.
1t was tacitly decided that the bill, in
Its original shape could not be passed.
n It was reported to the conference
that President Roosevelt would have
q paragraph on the upbuilding of the
merchant marine, but could not be in
duced to insert in his message any real
Endorsement of the ship subsidy
scheme. 1t was admitted at the con-
ference that the subsidy idea could
no longer become a caucus measure
ence 1t was decided that any general
campaign for the passage of the bill
comes up at all, it will be in the shape
OF an individual measure submitted on
Its merits.
It is said the conference considered
the feasibility of abandoning the or
isinal idea entirely, allowing the Mis-
sissippi valley members to introduce
their bill for subsidy based soley on
actual freight carried without regard
to time, and then pass separate bill
carrying large bonus for orrttransporting
the transatlantic and trsnspacific mail
Thts latter scheme would be exclu-
sively profitable to the American line
in the east and the Pacific Mail Com
pany in the west, which We're the two
corporations intended to be benefited by
the original ship subsidy scheme.
