OFFICE SEEKING
GOODS ARE, ACTIVE
SENIOR POLITICS sTIRs STRIFE
ON CAMPUS.
Three Fair Candidates for Glass secre-
taryship Make Things So Warm that
Their Brethren Run When They See
Them or Lie Uheerfully When Asked
for Support. 49, r,< A.

Three co.eds, running for the same
Office, has disrupted the peace of the
senior class at the University of Min
nesota. They have turned the, campus
combines and have sent the male vot-
ers into hiding. The election for the
class of 1907 will be held Oct. 6, and
there are other officers besides secre-
tary, who, by tradition, must be a girl,
to be elected, but for the excitement Of
the fight over the secretaryship inter-
est in the other offices is lacking. y,
Miss Rose. Marie schaller,, the present
posing her are Miss Grace Weisel and
Miss Irene Dunn, both Of whom are
popular and have strong backing.
Men Have Hunted Look.
The efforts Of the three candidates
to- capture the masculine vote is the
cause OF much worry and CONSERVATION
among the men of the class. q
All the candidates have hosts of girl
friends who are hard at work button
holing possible voters. Their activity
has largely decreased the number Of
seniors who usually spend their idle
hours in the library srotunda.
When an active worker now comes
around the corner to group Of senior
men there is a sudden retreat. Timid
voters flee; conscientious voters make
enemies, and wise voters lie cheerfully
and freely promise their support to all
the candidates.
For the other offices no candida ties
have yet announced themselves with
the exception of Oliver Lee, who will
run for president.
Precedent Is Endangered.
Unless a change in the organization
of the senior class is made at a meet.
ing next Tuesday the class Of 1907 will
break all former precedents and gradu-
ate under separate organizations. The
seniors in the academic and engineer.
ing colleges at present are organized
jointly under different constitutions
and officers. --
; A meeting will be held Tuesday by
the seniors of the academic department
to decide whether a union with the en-
gineers is desirable or not. AS the

HEARING FOR PUBLIC
SERVICE CORPORATIONS

Public service corporations are to
have hearing before the state board
Of equalization next Tuesday morning.
The committee Of .the board having this
subject in hand, has issued orders to
the street railway companies, the cleo
trio and gas light, companies, to show
cause Tuesday why their assessments
as returned by the board should not be
increased. The committee has made a
careful study of the assessments of the
big corporation as returned to the
board this year. ]; It is understood, the
gaslight companies are especially
looked upon as in need of increased
valuation for taxation purposes. In the
case Of the street railway companies,
the board is inclined to be a little more
lenient than boards have been for sew
eral years. Last year the street rail
ways taxes were increased from
$S,000,000 to $l0:OOO,0OO by the board.
The assessment as returned to the
board this year is $10,244, 900, a volun-
tary increase of $244,0o0 absve the
100000 increase of one year ago.
The board Of equalization did not
meet today, practically all of the mem
bers having gone home to spend Sun
day.

BY JoBBERs AND RETAILERS
Statement Made to the Board Of Tag
Levy.

After sitting for five days listening
to urgent demands for increased appro-
priations from nearly every municipal
department. and requests for higher pay
for tn Q schoolteachers, flremen and
policemen, the board Of tax levy has
heard in no uncertain sound from a. rep
posed principally Of members Of the
tions, who appeared before the board
late yesterday. - 4
They insisted that inasmuch as there
had been a big increase in valuations
there should be corresponding de-
crease in the rate Of taxation, as the
property owners had been assured that
there would be no increase in the
taxes. It was the general opinion that
the appropriations should be sufficient
ly large to secure good schools and sat-
isfactory police and fire protection, and
maintain the business Of the city in a
beftting manner. The tax levy board,
however, should exercise the same care
in its work as tho the members were
conducting their private business. The
question was not to decide what was
desirable, but what the taxpayers could
afford.
Among the speakers were W. L. Har-
ris, w. W. Hefelinger, J. L. McCaull
George D. Dayton, F. G.. Winston, j.
F. Conklin, and C. F.. Gordon.
Immediately afterward the real
! estate dealers asked for an appropria.
ton Of $4,000, with which to adver.

officers asked to have their pay in
