Some days ago Mr.. Geo. NJ. Jacobs,
clerk of the County Court of Marion

sage from Tax Commissioner Dillon:
Dear sir-Tf YOU have not already
done SO, please do not extend your
State levies on land books, as the

will be notified soon as to whether
there viii be any change. Yours
truly,
c. w. DILLON,

1t now develops that the reason. for
ordering the delay Is that there viii
be further reduction in the State tax
rate. Tie, Legislature reduced the
rate from 80 cents on the 800 to "a
cents, but empowered the State board
of public works to make further re-
auctions If 1t saw fit. II has developed
that the revenues from the license
law and from the corporation law have
been greater than was estimated, and
the State board of public works has
practically decided that the owners of
real and personal property shall be
given the benefit of the excess. In
other words it will not be necessary
to raise as much money for State ex-
penses from property this year as was

Chicago, May 15.-Unless compro-

and labor now in progress in this city,
the transfers strike will spread many
fold during the next 4s hours.
The refusal of the teamsters' Joint
council, representing 35,COO union
drivers, to accede to the demands of
the Chicago Teamowners' association
to handle merchandise for all business
houses having contracts with the mem
bers of the owners organization has
brought the controversy to a point
where, lest a speedy settlement is
made, one of the worst industrial up
heavals in history will be the result
Hopes that such settlement will be
effected are based on the decision Of
the Team Owners association to give
the teamsters' joint council more time
to consider the proposition.
At first it was the intention of the
owners to put their ulimatum into eff
feet this morning, but, believing that
the teamssers could be induced to
change their minds, they were given
until Tuesday to make final answer

Jerome Hart The German text is
ugly, and when printed from small
