EQUAL zATI0N BOARD NOW READY To
HEAR THE TAX PAYERS BIG KICK

The board of equalization COM
menced its session this morning.
There were present the three
county commissioners, Collin, Dean
and Connolly and Councilmen Gray
ad Stimmel, Councilman L. G.
Brown not putting in an appear
ance at the morning session. The
board orgaized with Chairman Col
lin Of the county board as chair
man. Stenographer J. H. Lelletier
was engaged to report the testi-
mony and George F. Whittemore
was clerk, representing County
Auditor Stewart.
A larger amount of scrapping
than usual is anticipated, owing to
the raise made by Assessor Stew
art on business property. Even the
book secured for entering the pro-
ceedings is larger by far than that
of previous years.
The first kick registered was
that by Division Manager Reynolds
of the Pacific States Telephone &
Telegraph company. He objected
to the advance made from $4,000
to $4,000 for franchise, basing his
objection upon the fact that now
his franchise has but one year to
run. He also kicked on the assess
ment for the item of wire, the as
SCISSOR having advanced that from
5000 to $24, 0S0. A clerical error is
said to have been responsible for
the latter raise. Mr.. Reynolds
simply filed his application for
reduction, and it will be considered
by the board later in the session,
when days will be set apart for
hearing kicks from corporations
according to schedule.
The board passed the customary
resolution providing for none but
interested parties being present
during the entry of protest and ar
gument thereon on any specified
item. AS soon as protests are filed

MORE POINTERS ON WHAT IS HAPPENING TO TRUST
THAT WORKED THE ICE HOLD UP

WASHINGTON, August 6.-All
over the United States Mr.. Com.
mon People is looking round for a
rock with which to smite the Ice
Baron. Fifty cities already have
taken some sort of step toward
busting the ice trust-a case of
brutal ingratitude when it is known
that the trust is paternally doing
everything 1t can to ameliorate the
suffering Of humanity.
In only a few cases has Mr.. G.
People thrown the dornick. There
have been indictments in Washing
ton, Toledo, Cleveland and Jackson
vile, Fla, while in ST. Louis and
Hartford, Conn, suits have been
filed to take away the charters of
ice companies. In Toledo only has
there been trial resulting in con-
viction. Jacksonville is after them
for the second time.
The first and for a long time the
only defense made by the ice COM
bines was that there was a short
age in the natural crop. This lame
excuse was expected to serve even
in the vast territory where natural
ice is totally Insignificant as a COM
modify.
Now the trusts have changed
their tune. They are whining.
They have elected to play the baby
act. Their spokesman discover
that ice has been cheaper, that it
costs more to produce ice, that
there will be a famine if the deal
ers do not stint the supply on the
market in some way. that the
profits are smaller, and other rea-
sons that are as unconvicing as
they are far fetched.
In the meantime the wave of re-
sentiment against extortion has
swept the country. Here are the

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Nine out of
10 people who have read Of the
fighting in Zululand have charac-
terized the affair as an ordinary
uprising of a native race against
the British rule. Instead, it IS a
constitutional stand of down.
trodden people against their OPP
pressors. The natives were not
the aggressors in this matter.
The cause of the present dis
turbances dates back from last
year. Then the Natal government
levied a poll tax Of SIS on every
unmarried Zulu. 1t was to become
due on January 1. 1906, but was
not to be enforced until the end
Of May.
The natives took exactly the
same stand as the American col
onists in the war of independence
If they were taxed they demanded
to be represented IN he Natal par
Lament. But instead OF this they
remain chattels before the law.
In many cases payne NJ Of this
tax was an impossi5..ity. The
Zulu's wealth is recOned i'll cat
tie, and their herd Is held by the
members of a family in common.
Individual property scarcely exists.
The tax, therefore, fell not upon
one man, but upon his whole fam
lily. And its severity can be Judged
from the fact that IS represents
more or less the earnings Of an
able bodied zulu for 10 weeks.
The government knew this. And
my opinion is that lbs tax was
deliberately put SO higa that the
Zulu would be quite unable to pay
it, working under ordl1Arv ag1i-
cultural conditions.
The reason for this lay close at
hand. The gold mi 1es--the curse
of South Africa, cded labor. The
mineowners feared the liberal gov
eminent in England would dispense
with the Chinese cheap labor. They
knew that the natives would not
work for the slave wages paid the
Chinese, and consequently they de-
vised some plan to induce the ma
tives to work whsther they like or
not. The poll tax seemed to pro
vide this incentive. Apparently
the government and the mineown-
ers played into one another's
hands.
l have pointed out that the tax
was not to be cole ,ted until May
81. But a police force was sent
down to collect it a, the beginning
of February, four months before it
became due. This illegal process
was carried out. One native-a viii
lage Hampden-protested he was
shot. Thereupon the natives
thought they were being attacked
under no pretext whatever, aud in
selfdefense, as they thought. they
attacked the police, AMI an Eng
lishman, Inspector Hunt, was killed.

:. McCLEARY RETIRED.

One Of the very gratifying re-
suits Of the election is the defeat
of Congressman McCleary in the
Second district. It would have
been better if he could have been
beaten at the primaries by a re-
publican, but since the scourge
must be by a democrat at the
general election, so let it be.
McCleary is not a bad fellow or
a bad congressman; in fact, he is
one of the big men in congress;
but he has the misfortune to
hold views on tariff revision ex.
actly the opposite of the majority
of his constituents. This in
itself is not such an unsurmount-
able obstacle to return to Office;
men have been known to be at
outs with their districts before,
and to experience a sudden
change of heart just before the
election. But be it said to the
credit of McCleary, he is not
made of that kind of stuff. In
stead of changing his views on
tariff revision, McCleary made
up his mind to change the views
of his constituents, and he has
been at it for several years.

day. W. S. Hammond of St.
