TAX COMMISSIONERS
TOURING THE STATE
Their Plan Is to Visit Each of
the Counties.
PURPOSE is TO BE FAIR

The three appointive members of
the state board of tax commissioners
are now on the road attending the
meetings of the various county boards
of review which are equalizing tho as
sessment of real estate. They have
divided up the state for the purpose
of visiting every county before the
state board meets the latter part of
July to consider the matter of assess
ing land. This is one of the most i'm
Dortant features of the work of the
state tax board. 1t touches every land
owner in the state and is more vital
TO the masses than the assessment of
the corporations. 1t is very likely
that the assessment of lands, as a
general thing, will be somewhat high
er than II is right now, owing to the
fact that the value of property has in
creased steadily during the past four
years 1t is said, however, that there
will be no radical increases and that
the board will make a great effort to
fix the valuations so that they will be
fair to al. concerned.

NEW LAW REGARDING
cH|LOREN'S WORK
McAbee Says 1t Is Being
Closely Observed.
SAID TO BE ONE OF BEST

Factory Inspector McAbee and his
deputies say that the law governing
the employment of children is being
closely observed by managers of de-
partment stores and factories. but
that il is causing much heart-aches
and tears. Hardly a day passes but
some mother comes in with a girl or
boy under sixteen and asks for a spec
iai permit for them TO work. This is
the fearful time about the factory in
spector's department.. as many child
rem of poor parents are just ont OF
school and they want to work during
the summer vacation They cannot
however, unless their parents make a
false affidavit as to their age. which
few mothers are willing to do. Many
mothers come to the department with
pitiful story of how they need the
help of their children and how they
want to put them to work TO keep
them out of mischief, but the depart
ment can do nothing for them. 1t has
to enforce the law and is doing IT.
The child labor law in this state is
said to be one of the best in the world

A legal action, the result of which
will probably be of tremendous i'm
portance, has been started in Mime
sofa and will be taken at once to the
United States supreme court. 1t in
wolves the question of states rights in

ment of laws duly passed by state leg
islatures.
A federal court in Minnesota enjoin-
ed the attorney general from attempt
ing to enforce a certain measure. The
attorney general did not obey the in
junction and the federal judge arrested
fined him for contempt of court.
Now the attorney general will imme-
diately appeal to the United States SUI
preme court for a writ of habeas cor
pus, which will bring the whole ques-
ton before that high tribunal for ac-
ton.

law duly passed by a legislature shall
be considered binding until it is de-
clared otherwise by a court of last re-
sort, or whether 1t shall be considered

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.

1t is quite evident that New York is
having the worst shaking UP it has
had in many years financially. The
great financial center of the nation is
in financial straits. Its hnanciers are
having trouble meeting their obliga-
tons. The suspension Of the big
Knickerbocker Trust company yester-
day. after paying only 100000 of its
$50, 900, 900 deposits, shows how seri-
Gus the trouble is.
Whatever may be the immediate
cause of the collapse, primarily it is
the old story of reaping the whirl-
wind Wall Street has been doing
business or wind. and this is the re-
suit. It's supposed wealth is made up
largely of credit-and greatly inflated
credit at that. There was too little
actual wealth behind it. It's stocks
and securities did not represent real
values. As long as h flood of money
kept up from other parts of the coun-
try, this credit-these false values
was maintained, but when the regions
where the real wealth is made began
to keep their money at home for their
own use, Wall Streets house Of cards
tumbled.
That the producing parts of the
country are not greatly involved in
this New York financial trouble is in
dicated by the dispatches from all the
financial centers of the west. 1t is
likely that eastern cities may feel the
stringency which must naturally fol-
low this trouble in New York-for
banks and men with money will ex-
ercise greater care than ever in max
ing loans and investments. The west,
however, has an abundance of money
for its own needs, with some millions
left over for the east. Interest rates
may be higher, especially on eastern
commercial paper, but the farming
and mining and lumber regions, which
furnish the primary wealth of the ma
ton, will be little affected by the
troubles of New York's supposed
fnanciers in getting back to solid
earth and SOUND values.

NEW ENGLAND ALSO.

Who said the east is not for President
| Roosevelt's policies? If whoever is
guilty included New England as a part
of 1.-The east" he has another guess
coming.
Not only is New England for the
| presidents policies, but it is also over
whelmingIy for Taft for president, If
the figures produced by the Chicago
| Tribune can be relied upon The Trib-
une, which a few weeks g made a
poll of leading Republican officials and
editors in the Middle West to ascertain
something of public sentiment regard
ing the presidential question, has just
concluded a similar poll in the six New
England states, and it shows the sentt-
| nent there to be just about as it is in
the west.
Out of about 500 Republican congress
men. editors and party leaders heard
/ from, AL said they approve President
Roosevelt's progressive policies, and
only 81 said they do not. while IL were
non-committal. That does not look as
though New England is opposed to cor
poration regulation.
Not only that, but every one of the
six New England states declare over
whelmingly for Taft. OF the total num-
Der of Republican leaders heard from,
2S9 are for Taft for first choice; 139 are
for Hughes, and "a insist on having
Roosevelt again. OF the latter number
all but IL are for Taft If they can't get
Roosevelt again. The other candidates.
Cannon, Fairbanks, ct al, are in the
"also ran" class.
Vermont develops more Hughes SEN
timent than any other state. giving him
Al votes, yet it gives Taft 68, with %
more for Roosevelt which are nearly all
for Taft for second choice.
The Tribune is continuing its work
of polling the country. We hear a great
deal about New York being opposed to
Roosevelt's policies, but that noise may
all come from Wall Street and it's SUBJ
urbs. OF course, it will not be surpris-
ing IL New York is for Hughes for pres
ident, but thai would not mean that it
is against Roosevelt's policies. 1t looks
as though Wall Street and some of the
railroad magnates are alone in hat re-
spect, and even the latter are coming
Roosevelt's way on many propositions.
1t is certain that the Pacific coast will
be just as solid for Taft<as is the Mid
die West. Unless Mr.. Foraker can work
UP some anti-Taft sentiment in the
south, his boast hat he will yet beat
the big secretary Of war will get a most
