BOOST VALUATION
FOR HENNEPIN co,
TOTAL THIS YEAR WILL EXCEED
1eo4's CONSIDERABLY.
Increases Already Made by the State
Board More Than Make UP for Re-
duction on Merchandise Public
Service Corporations Will Make In
crease a Good One.

.Hennepin county's assessed valuation
will exceed last years when the state
board of equalization has finished it's
work. The reduction on merchandise
will be more than made up by other
raises. Real estate is not assessed this
year, but $2,900,O0O has been added
for new buildings. ePrsonal property
was taxed last year on a valuation of
at approximately $34,5OO,0O0. Lester B.
Elwood, the Minneapolis member OF the
state board, figures that there has al
ready been raised $1,900,0O0. The pub
lie service corporations are to be raised,
which will add considerably, but al
ready the valuation is higher than last
year by million and half. It will
likely be $3.OO0,0OO greater when the
board has finished it's work.
Freight line companies appeared be-
fore the board today The Armour line
was decreased from $4,000 to $4,000,
and the Pittsburg Coal company s
$4,000 assessment was stricken off. The
Union Tank line, the Standard Oil
service, will pay on $4,000; Street IS
Western Stable Car line, on $l7,700;
the Swift Refining and Transportation
company, on $13, 800; the Cudahy line
on $500, and the Merchants Dis.
patch on $1,000.

SAY UNION LABEL MUST GO
MINNEAPOLIS TYPOTHETAE Is
SUE BULLETIN REGARDING
MATTER HEADED "THE DE-
sTRUCTION OF PROPERTY

The Minneapolis Typothetae, in q
bulletin head "The Destruction of
PROPERTY issued today, announce that
hereafter the union label, which has
been a prominent feature of all public
printing and especially Of all political
cards and literature, will be practically
discarded in Minneapolis.
The few printing establishments using
it will be those known as "one-man
shops'' or "parlor shops AS a result
Of the strike the union label will have
to 90, according to the statement OF the
employers, all Of whom have been using
it. In this connection the same bulletin
says: ..-s.
AS evidence that even property rights
are to be disregarded by the leaders in
the coming difficulty, the following docu-
ment is being sent out by the union:
ITO Chairmen-You are hereby noti-
fed to appear at the union rooms Friday
evening, Sept. 20, at o'clock. Every
chairman must be present. You will
please have in your possession every
Labels or electrotypes must be destroyed
Fraternally, N. C. OConnor
The electrotypes now owned by en-
ploying printers are to be mutilated by
the chairmen of the chapel, and the time
thus spent is to be paid for by the en-
ployers who own the electrotypt plates
There is no objection to the taking away
of the label cuts, but there is decided
objection to the destruction of property
at the request of the secretary Of the
local typographical union. 81 sos
In reply to this a representative of
the union says: "That assertion is
absolutely absurd. The labels and la
bel. cuts are all furnished by the union
are copyrighted and are our property
If the employers have more expensive
standing that they shall in case OF
trouble become the property of the
union. Our label is copyrighted and
| cannot be used without our consent. -
