EQUALIZATION
BOARD MEETS
Are Showing Citizens why Valuations
We're Increased

The equalization board is in session
today hearing the complaints Of prop
erty owners in regard to the raises
made in the assessments. It is pre-
haps the first time in the history Of
any municipality where the assess
ments were raised on every man, but
the complaints that are being made
are very rare. Some Of the heaviest
property owners Of the city were be-
fore this morning, almost all Of them
coming out Of the assessors office
saying they had no complain tc make.
The gentlemen Of the board are in
deed grateful to the public for the ap-
proval Of their work that has been exl
pressed by the citizens today. The in
creased amounts will stand in ma
jority Of cases, which means that the
rate will be materially reduced from
that Of former years. This will Be 4
great inducement to capital seeking
for investment.

IT MIKES THEM TIRED

Complaints are becoming general
in regard to the constant whistling Of

heard on the streets are backed up,
a warrant will be asked for soon.
"0f all the nuisances in the city

the corner Of Srd and Choctaw takes

for its ear splitting shrieks. it could
be overlooked by the suffering public.
By taking out the permit ia do the
business its management has complied
with the ordinance governing such
cases, but the license did not intend
that the peace of citizens should be
disturbed. Even as far out as con-

paid to be entertained for short
time.

ing business of this sort, by all means

WHAT THE

The action Of the supreme court in
sustaining the constitutional conven-
tion and dissolving the injunctions
meets with the approval Of the leading
republicans Of the city. While none
of them had seen the entire decision
and did not know upon what grounds
the decision had been rendered, the
fact that it opens the way for an cleo
ton to be held is the cpnsoling feature.
Commissioner Payne said: Il am
not particularly surprised at the de-
cision Of the court. The next thing
will Be to see what is the move Of
those responsible for the injunction.
The convention when It reconvenes
should modify the gerrymander. When
this is done and the constitution and

clamation will be forthcoming in a

A Novel Prison Reform.

Not so many years ago the place or
of a penal colony given over to the
banighcd criminals Of an older c!VlllZa-
tion. In later years it has become
land Of progress and enlightenment
and from il have come various impor-
tant civil reforms adopted in England
and in this country. The latest from
Australia is an entirely new departure
in criminnlogy and it is working s."
well in New South Wales that the
,.rienn authorities of conservative
England are giving it earnest study.
Heretofore the prisons Of New South
Wales were conducted in about the
, same manner as prisons elsewhere, but
the Injustice suffered by the prisoners

There is no trade in American-made

found that when pianos are manufac-

wood in the course of few months is
seriously affected by the dampness,
causing joints to open ana frequently
