The EQUALIZATION
OF ASSESSMENTS
The Strong Stand Taken by w.
n. Wallace, Our Member of
Equalizing Board.

from Baton Rouge to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat which
a number of our readers will be
glad TO see.
Baton Rouge, Aug. 9.-The
State Board of Equalization
adjourned to-day to meet on
Monday. The feature of this
mornings work was the session
of the timber committee, which
was attended by many of the
board, and at which appeared
Mr.. S. 7. Woodring, the manager
Of the Long Leaf Lumber Co..
Of Lake Charles. Mr.. Woodrine
was subjected to severe cross
examination by Chairman Wal
lace, who is himself a lumberman
Ia VIM Parish. Mr.. Woodring
stated before a committee that
No. common was selling as low
Is $40 per thousand f. o. b. mill.
this year he also stated that no
stumpage in Calcasieu parish was
worth over $3.50 per thousand,
aud that timber lands in Cal
casieu were of the same grade as
lands in Vernon, Winn. Grant
and Catahoula and compared
favorabIy with any. 10 the State.
He admitted, under cross exam-
ination by Chairman Wallace,
that they had carried stumpage
on their books at 81 per thousand
last year and this year at So. 1t
was the impression of some of
the members of the boar'l that
some of Mr.. Woodring's state
ments were at variance with the
asses sor of Calcasieu. Both Mr..
Woodring and Mr.. Richard, the
assessor, admitted that the small
farmers were being assessed 1T
loo cents on the dollar.
Members of the board stated
this evening that the Long Bell
Lumber Company is among those
timber concerns most pronounced
against the increased assessment
on Numbered lands in, the State.
They say a large proportion of
che sawmilI men of the State are
willing to pay their proportion OF
the taxes and do not consider
stunpage at $3.50 per thousand
90 be fair value on which to
base estimates for the purpose of

In UppeT New York State.

Albany, n. Y, Nov. 6.-The Repuh-
licans won in both Albany city and
county against fusion of the Demo
Gratis and Independence League and
the Citizens Union. Mayor Charles
H. Gaus was elected over Edward A.
Durant for a fourth term, and with
him the entire Republican city ticket
wins by plurality OF about 1000. The
Republican county ticket is elected by
a plurality of about 5000. For the
first time in fourteen years the Repub-
licans elected a mayor in Utica and
for the first time in seventeen years
the Democrats carried Newburgh.
The Republicans were victorious IN
Ulster county and elected their candi-
date for mayor in Kingston. In Roch-
ester the Republicans elected the may
or, but the Democrats carried the COM
mon council. Despite the protests Of
the united clergy, the Democrats elect
ed a brewer for mayor. In Troy May
or Ellis Mann was reelected by the
Republicans with a plurality of $50.
The Independence League vote up

CINCINNATPS NEW DEAL
Veteran German Editor Elected Mayor
by Decisive Plurality.

Cincinnati, Nov. 6-By a decisive
plurality and a clear majority over all
four competitors, Colonel Leopold
Markbreit. the veteran German editor
and former United States minister to
Bolivia, was elected mayor of Cincin-
natl on the Republican ticket. and car
ried with him the entire Republican
ticket. The campaign had been a Wig
orous one, but the fact that Mayor
Dempsey. who was elected two years
ago by a combination OF Democrats
and municipal party was this year
a candidate of the Democrats only and
was opposed by many former support
ers. gave the Republicans additional
support in their claims that the Demp-
sey administration had been a failure.

straight -DamocrdciC TICKET: ne n1c-
pendence League ticket for associate
justices or the court OF appeals was
overwhelmingly beaten by the identi-
cal tickets of the Republicans and
Democrats; and there will be slight
change in the makeup OF the state
assembly. In New York city the In
dependence League court of appeals
ticket was defeated 4 TO ! and the
league vote up state was light.
In the city interest centered in the
county fight in which the Republican
and Independence League forces op-
posed the Tammany ticket. James W.
Gerard was elected to the supreme
court with a wide margin over l.. Y.
Bruce. Thomas F. Foley defeated for
the sheriff's Office the fusion candi-
date, Max F. Ihmsen of the lndepen-

Bartlett. nominated BY both Republi-
cans and Democrats. were elected to
the court of appeals over Ruben r.
LYON, former Bryan Democrat. and
John I. McDonougb, a former Repuh-
lican. both of whom were nominated
bt the Independence League.
The election was unusually quiet
and the vote light. There were con-
siderable number of arrests for illegal
voting.
Chairman Parsons Of the Republi
can county committee, who was cred
tied with having arranged the fusion,
expressed surprise at the result and
placed the responsibility on the finan-
cial situation and repeaters. Leaders
of the Independence League wing of
the fusion unreservedly declared it's
defeat due to a fraud.
In Kings county (Brooklyn) the Re
publicans were generally successful,
though the Democrats elected District
Attorney Clark.
The Republicans lost few mem.
bers Of the assembly, probably six
Republicans swept all the candi-
dates with one exception in Office at
Buffalo.
Elmira returned TO the Democratic
column so far as the mayOralty was
concerned. Republicans elected a city
and a county ticket in Albany.

cannot be generally claimed as such,
