At 2:30 yesterday afternoon members Of the
Omaha Real Estate exchange received word
from Lincoln that the State Board Of Equal
iEation has given Douglas county what the
exchange asked-a levy Of 40 mifis. The
state levy last year was 1875 mills.
The county levy this year is 10 mills. as
against l7.2 last year, so that II the
report from Lincoln be true the total levy
Is 1875 mills against "a 23-40 last year, or
practically a reduction of mills. The
city levy was reduced from SS mills to 30
Douglas county had a delegation before
the state board both Monday and Tuesday.
1t comprised Attorney ]. II. Mcintosh,
County Attorney George Shields and. as
witnesses, F. H. Myers Of the Benson
Myers arm, Thomas S. Boyd. formerly land
examiner for the Anthony Loan and Trust
company, and F. j. Fitzgerald Of the r. @.
Peters company, these three as experts on
farm lands; Fred ,Wead, w. G.. Ure and
John N. Frenzer as experts on city lots.
The testimony OF these, each OF the hrst
three being obliged to go over the state
map county by county and answer half a
dozen questions each from members OF
the board. occupied most OF the
first day. The second day afndavits from
residents Of four different counties were
read, and Deputy State Labor Commits
sioner Watson called to strengthen the
| showing that Douglas county Is assessed
on a one-sIxth value while others are as
sessed only on tenth. and that It should,
therefore, have a 40 per cent less levy.
After the testimony Shields briefly and
Mcintosh fully discussed the propriety OF
this course, showing that an equalization
board must equalize. regardless OF whether
| or not the revenue to the state prove sde-
/ quate. They showed how manifestly un-
fair It would be to hold up Douglas county
just for the benefit Of the state treasury.
One of the delegation says that the state
board was very chilly and somewhat scorn-
full at first, but was won over in the
/ course Of the second day.

these two forces effect junction II is ex-
pected they will take the offensive against
President Castro. The situation Of the gov
ernment is far from clear, regardless Of the
fact that the revolution seems lacking in
decision. In a sense President Castro holds
the situation, and single defeat Of the rev.
olutionists would probably render him ar
