ration Counsel John j. Delany, ard a
speech was made by Charles W. An
derson, Collector of Internal Revenue
of this city.
J. C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds of
Washington, D. c., responded. He
said that it was the purpose Of the
Council to call men back to their rea-
son, not to go down and blow up the
South. He orephesied that unless the
American people get back to their
principles another government would
have to be organized.
Bishop G. W. Clinton, D. D., of
Charlotte, n. c., said that in this day
Of the survival Of the fittest the negro
cannot hope to succeed except
through a struggle. He condemned
the indammatory speeches Of Senator
Tillman and referred to Thomas Dix
on, writer of "The Clansman," as a
"vile and arch leader Of race preju-
dice" ]. C. Thomas, D. Macon Web
ster, E. P. Roberts, all Of New York,
and others also spoke.
The meetings today will be held at
Mount Olivet Baptist Church, in
Fifty-third street. The session this
evening will be at Cooper Union,
where the general subject, "Lynching
and It's Remedy" will be discussed.
The meetings tomorrow will be at Mt.
Zion Church on Eighty-ninth street.
Among the speakers at the evening
session will be ex-Gov. Frank S..
Black and Booker T. Washington.
In his annual address at last nights
session Bishop Walters, president Of
the council, said that the ignoble
work of disfranchisement moves
steadily on. "If it continues much
longer ne said, "a terrible conflict
is sure to come. It will bring business
stagnation and desolation, but it will
come, for the sense Of justice is no
more dead now than it was before the
Civil War broke out No one knows
this better than Senator Tillman, and
if such men as he stir up war in
which the color Of the skin is a death
warrant. the Nation will cease to be
patient. 1t will certainly act.
The object of our enemies is to
make us serfs 1t is nonsense to cry
peace when there is no peace. We are
determined to rise or die in the at
tempt to obtain our rights. We are
determined to leave a heritage to our
children which will save them from
serfdom. 1t is silly and wicked to
see our people die when action could
save them.
Bishop Walters added: Gwen in
the prize ring we have our Joe Gans."
The speakers voice was lost in the
cheers that went up from the congre-
CATION, which completely filled the
church.
Bishop Walters advocated a law
which would place the punishment
for mob violence under Federal con-
,rol

APPEALs 10 ROCK ISLAND.
Carr Taylor Asks Road TO Relieve the
Coal Shortage In Southwest.

Carr Taylor Asks Road to Relieve the
Coal Shortage In Southwest.
Topeka, Dec. 2O.-Carr Taylor, at
torney for the state board Of railroad
commissioners, today appealed to the
Rock Island railroad to send a train
load OF coal to southwestern Kansas
points The efforts OF Governor Hoch
to force the Rock Island to supply
the towns on that line with coal
seems to have been unavailing.
Carr Taylor this morning received
the following telegram from the
Farmers Elevator company at Lang
don, Reno county:
Town is out Of fuel. Please take
steps to have a supply sent here at
once"
The complaint recently received by
Governor HOch was from the town
Of Meade, which is also on this line
Of the Rock Island. The indications
are that the Rock Island has not been
sending coal enough into that section
Of the state.
Carr Taylor said this morning: 'It
certainly looks as though there must
be some sort OF mismanag cement when
a railroad company fails to get a coal
supply into the towns along that line
The company has had plenty OF warn
ing OF the impending and actual
shortage, and IL ought to take more
radical steps to meet the demand

me Currency Reform Pan
Washington, Dec 18.-The house
committee on banking and currency
decided today TO make a favorable re
port on q credit currency bill, which
Is only slightly different from the
measure advocated BY the American
Bankers association Ten republi-
cans attended the committee meeting
and all supported the measure. while
the four democrats opposed it
In the bill advocated by the bank
ers II was provided that a tax OF 2 y
per cent should be paid by national
banks on credit currency equal to 25
per cent OF their capital The com
mittee increased the tax on such
bank notes TO per cent. Another
change made by the committee is one
providing that national banking asso-
ciations desiring to take out credit
notes and having notes outstanding in
excess OF 62H per cent OF their paid
up capital may redeem such excess
without reference to the Limitation OF
three million dollars each month pre-
scribed by the act OF July u, 1882.
The bill as reported extends the
privilege OF issuing credit currency
only to national banking Institutions
which have been in business one year
and have a surplus equal to 20 per
cent OF their capital Bankers esti-
mate the amount OF additional cur
rency which the measure would af-
ford at 200 million dollars.

washington, Dec. 2I.-The farm
-alue Of the principal crops Of the
LEited States in 1906 (not including
ratfor1 Is I72 million dollars greater
t1an the total value OF the crops OF
1905 and last years figures far ex-

is the showing OF the final report Of
the statistical bureau Of the depart
nent OF agriculture. The farm value
of grain potatoes, hay and haxseed
raised this year amounts up to enOT-
nous total OF 2,926 million dollars
The total quantity OF the grain
crops Is 4,S54 million bushels, enough,
IL It were all hauled to market to Ill
three times as many freight cars as
all the railroads OF the country pos
sess, and to make a train that would
extend nine times across the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The corn crop is 2,927 million bush
els, 220 million bushels greater than
that Of last year, which was the great
est ever raised up to that time The
Tield OF wheat is slightly below the
itrgest crop ever raised, and four mill
ilVn bushels below preliminary esti-
mates. The oats crop as finally re-
pcrted, turns out to be 100 million
Bushels greater than the preliminary
Estimate, and eleven million bushels
isrsater than the crop or 1905, which

COMPLAIN OF HIGH TAXES.
People Of GOodIand Say Taxes are Too
High-BIame COmmfssiOners.

Htgh-Blam6 Commissioners
Since people have begun to pay
their taxes for the year 1906 they
have invariably been astonished to
find that their taxes are higher than
/ they have been for q long time and
naturally put the responsibility some
where Complaint has been made
/ that the county commissioners have
made the taxes higher, which, in q
moment, viii be seen to be an un-
I true statement
The county commissioners, while
they directly lay levy for the rais-
ing OF funds for the support OF the
county and for the raising OF money
for state taxes, simply check up vari-
Gus leVies Of the school district, Good
land city, and miscellaneous leVfeS, to
the county clerk so that he may have
authority for making up his tax rolls
from the authoritative schedule OF
Ievies. The board OF county commits
siOners has no power to alter or
change a levy OF GOOdand city or a
school district, except in case where
such levy might be in excess OF the
provisions Of the Kansas statue.
The fact Of the matter Is. the coun-
ty commissioners, composed OF J. ".
Klauer, W A SeXsOn and n E Al
bertsOn, have lowered the levy OF the
county and state taxes. In 1905 the
lar and this year II IS only z mills
The state lev was likewise reduced
from six mills IN 1905 to five mills in
1906; and the high school levy was
reduced from one and One-half mills
in 1905 to one mill in 1906. The rise
in taxes generally throughout the
county is not, therefore, due to the
action Of the county commissioners
but to the high valuation which has
been put on both real and personal
property.
The assessors from the different
townships Of the county meet each
year and establish a new valuation for
all personal property and every two
years assess real estate
The high taxes in GOOdland city
comes from the large amount OfmOney
that has to be raised to keep up the
city expenses, and the money neCes-
sary to carry on the GoOdland schools
is likewise considerable; so that both
the city and city's schools have been
forced to put the levy to the limit
The total amount Of levy against prop
erty in GOOdland is 771z mills or
more than Z y per cent on every dol
lar Of valuation, but the county com
missioners are in no wise to blame be-
cause taxes are high They have
record Of economy and are careful In
handling every business interest Of
Sherman county.
