1899 the railroads in Cook county
paid $640,O00 less in taxes than in
1898, and they will pay less this year
than last.
The Chicago Federation Of Teach
ers has fought these legal battles
with very little outside aid in the way
of contributions; the expense has
been borne by the members them
selves. Membership in the fedora
ton is confined to classroom teach
ers, superintendent, principals and
special teachers not being eligible to
membership. And there are over
1000 teachers in the federation. We
are fighting a battle that has at
tracted wide attention and, as re-
suit, similar federations of grade
teachers have been organized in other
cities. 1t seems inevitable that this
movement shall result in strong ma
tional organization along parallel
lines. MARGARET A. HALEY.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1902-01-30

assessed the franchises at $12, 100000,
and adjourned. Even this low assess
ment was a point in our favor, for by
this action the board acknowledged
that franchises were assescsable. We
pursued the matter in the courts to
compel the full assessment, with the
result that on November %, 1901, in
obedience to the order of the supreme
court, the state board of equallza-
ton reassessed the franchises of
these five corpora tions at full value
of $172, 900 for the year 1900. For
the year 1901 the board fixed the same
franchise values at about half that
figure. While important results in
the matter of esta blished precedent
have been achieved, the schools have
not as yet benefited by the cash re-
suits which should have followed. The
corporations have appealed to the
United States court for an injunction
against the collection of the taxes
ordered by the state supreme court.
That injunction, if granted, will tie
up the 2,O00,0 900 of back taxes Sc
cured as the result of the supreme
court decision. So much for the skel-
eton outline of our work to date.
Now we have accomplished some
