This demonstration of the inefficacy of econo- mics to oyertake the sfll in earnings of the railroads keeps attention centered on the problem of wage readjustments. The Wash ington estimates of $6o,00O, 900 deficit in the government revenues for the fiscal year ending tomorrow point to the necessity of early additional withdrawals of government deposits from the national banks. The prospect receives small attention however, in view of the bulk of the bank reserves and the wide margin of unemployed funds held by the banks.
 The crop news today was plentiful but was so far balanced in its promise from dif- ferent localities as to neutralize 1t as a stock market factor. Some of the demand which advanced prices as the day progress ed ws attributed to covering of shorts put out early last week.

$4,000 Omitted from Tax Roll.

Dodgeville Chronicle.
At the hearing before the rate com
mission the question of the amount of
taxes that was paid upon the electric
light company's plant came up, and
upon examination of the tax roll for
1907 it was found that in the assess
ment against DR.. Pearce 100000 Of
personal property was omitted from
the roll and the amount of his personal
assessment was only 100000 when it
should have been S., 10000. Upon ex-
animation of the assessors books it
seems that the figure "5' was out of
line and in copying into the tax roll it
was omitted altogether.
The omission was no fault of DR..
Pearce's, as in the years 1906 and 1907
he turned in to the assessor for taxa
ton the electric light plant, placing
the value Of it at S4, $4,000, and his
figures were not changed by the board
of review.
