EQUALIZATION BOARD
HIT BY SUPERVISORS.

The state convention of county sup
ervisors, clerks and commissioners at
Joliet this week, which was attended
by q delegation from Rock Island
county, disapproved the methods of
the state board of equalization, de-
ciaring that it causes much useless
expense and unnecessary delay. A
resolution was adopted that theequal-
ization by the state board should ap-
ply only to the extension of taxes for
state purposes. and that all other
taxes should be extended on the valu-
ations as made by the county board
of review. The convention also de-
clared in favor of the repeal of the
sparrow bounty law, and that one
half of the inheritance tax should be
used for charitable purposes in the
county where collected. A committee
was named to appear before the legis-
lature and advocate the appointment
of state revenue commission.

Cotton Mill Oil lien Say Price of
Seed Will Not Be Cut
Next Season.

Prominent cotton oil mill men deny
that combine is being formed to low
err the price of cotton seed next year.
Stories to this effect have excited the
farmers. The cotton seed trade is in
an unsettled condition and the high
price demanded for the raw materials
has cut deeply in the profits of the
mills. When the price got to $2l mill
people claimed that it was financial
suicide to continue manufacturing at
that price and a number of plants were
closed down. One concern is said to
have purchased more than hundred
cars at that price, while other millers
said that the stuff would be manutact-
ured at dead loss where more than
$40 ton was paid, and this price was
considered high. New mills have been
established in all sections, and with no
sign of an agreement being reached
among the managers. 1t appears to
outsiders that it is a question OF one
mill cutting the throat of another with
the prices so high.
