VALUATIONS
SLASHED

When the board of equalization
adjourned on Saturday total Of
242 kicks had been registered and
disposed of so far as board Of
equalization authority goes. Deputy
County Auditor George F. Whit
more as clerk Of the board, will
have several days of work In work
ing out the statement of changes
made and the ultimate result as
regards comparison with the total
figures Of the assessor. BY no
means were all of the protests al.
lowed, but many were, and 1t will
take some time to check up and
annotate the total amount of reduc-
ton made, because 1t Is quite Ger.
tain that the reductions will be
greater than the raises made by the
board. This work will have to be-
done by the first of the coming
month, by which time the certifica-
ton should be in the hands of the
state board of equalization.
The taxable valuation of the Spo-
kane Press was fixed at $1,000; the
Chronicle at s2515, and the Spokes-
man-Review at s41,245.
A general reduction was made on
assessments of the stock of princi-
pal banks of the city. bringing the
figures down to what the board con-
sidered 60 per cent valuation.

TO CUT OFF
DEADHEADS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The
railroad rate law, which was ap
proved by President Roosevelt on
June 30, goes into effect tomorrow
Although the railroads have been
granted an extension of time for
the enforcement of some of the
provisions of the law, the compan
les have found it quite convenient
to enforce the provision which pro
hibits the issuing of free passes and
terminates the validity of those al
ready issued. After today the rail
roads will refuse to acknowledge
the validity of passes over any OF
their lines.
