GAIL LAUGHLIN IN THE CITY
Spends Several Hours at Headquarters
of Nebraska WOman's Suf-
frage Association.

Miss Gail Laughlin spent several hours
in the city yesterday at the headquarters
Of the Nebraska woman's Suffrage as
ISOLATION, leaving early in the afternoon
for the western part Of the state, where
she is to fill several lecture appointments,
returning to Omaha on Monday. Miss
Laughlin is on her way to Montana in the
interest OF the National American Woman's
Suffrage association, OF which she is one Of
the most prominent leaders, and her pres
ence in the state Is attracting special at
tention of the various women's and other
organizations interested in the betterment
Of Industrial conditions, owing to her re-
cent connection with the United States In
dustrial commission established by con-
gress in 1898 and expiring February 10,
1902. In addition TO her investigation of
domestic service, Miss Laughlin also ar
ranged the special reports and the volume
on manufacturing and general business OF
the commission's report.
Miss Laughlin is a graduate Of Cornell
Law school and won fame for winning the
prize in the debate open to the 1880 stu
dents OF Cornell, 1900 Of whom were men.
She was later made leader of the Cornell
team in its debate against the team of the
University of Pennsylvania, Cornell being
victorious.
On Monday evening Miss Laughlin will
speak at Unity church, her subject to be

dicated at this time. He has said that
certain of the revenue laws are unconstitu-
tional. and II this report is sustained by the
court II will make II almost obligatory on
that body to lay down rules for the assess
ment Of property covered by the act which
is rendered void.
IF the decision of the referee is sus-
tanned at this time without alteration IL
may mean that Omaha will have no assess
ment this year and that municipal work
will have to De suspended. The referee
has said, in effect, that the assessment is
illegal. If this is approved by the court
any taxpayer can enjoin the collection OF
taxes II the council should make the levy
and the treasurer attempt to make collec-
tions. Then there is another point. The
law specifies the time at which the levy
shall be made and unless the court should
max an order compelling the council to
make a levy at ZONE time other than that
specified by the law 1t Is possible that the
levy would also be illegal. In fact, the re-
port is full OF interesting possibilities.

SOLD ON EASY PAYMENTS.
People who purchase pianos generally
purchase them where they have the largest
stock of standard makes to select from and
where they get the lowest prices on well
known makes. This is the secret of the won
derful piano business we are doing. The
large quantities that we purchase in for
cash enables us to sell for less than what
other dealers have to pay for them, at the
same time leaving us a small margin OF
profit. We are showing more standard
makes than all the rest of the dealers to-
gether. Think of to be able to find the fol
we'll known makes in all the differ
ent styles and veneers on one floor: Chick

prayed. 1 consider the referees finding
victory for the REALTORS"
Chairman wead Talks, Too.

NNCoo AoAa AOOs
F. d. wead, chairman of the Real Estate
exchange tax committee, said: One of
the most gratifying features Of the report
OF the referee Is that section in which he
assesses the costs Of the litigation against
the couAcilmen who voted to make a hear
ing on the question impossible before the
Board OF Equalization. 1t will be a warn
ing to other public oficials who are in
clined to follow their own sentiments
rather than the letter and spirit OF the law.
II it were possible to hold oficlals in every
case personally responsible for their lapses
from the plain intent of the statute there
would be less complaint on the part Of the
citizens.
THE tax committee Of the exchange will
continue on its present line Of work until
the case is finally disposed Of, for the re-
port Of the referee is not hnal and we can
not tell what the outcome will be. In fact,
the committee has got more work on Its
hands than 1t expected, and as far as I
know every member is willing to carry the
matter through to it's logical conclusion.
When we were appointed 1t was simply for
the purpose of making an appeal to the city
Board Of Equalization upon the matter OF
corporation assessments. When we we're
tricked there we resolved to carry the
matter into the courts and made an appeal
to the taxpayers for funds with which to
prosecute the work. We were encouraged
by the response to our appeal and now ]
feel that while the referee has denied our
application for a writ he has made 1t pos
sible for us to work a complete revolution
in the system of making assessments In the
state. Every country assessor may be In
/ fuenced by the opinion of the court In this
matter. for the referee has raised points
which we did not have hope would be adtu-

already mentioned and the officers of the

we hope to reach next Wednesday and
where We shall make arrangements for the

rather, we shall pass on the arrangements
proposed by the people there. 1 do not
