ings of the year was held last night
at the Commercial Club rooms, a Joint
meeting Of the Commercial Club and
Board of Trade, to take steps in pro.
motion of the Monday night meeting
in the interest OF the Deep Waterway
movement. The attendance was not
large, but those present were deeply
in earnest and what they did and will
do is sure to make the Monday night
meeting all that could be desired.
Purpose of Meeting.

by Mayor Parsons and he was chosen
chairman, with Chas. r, Stuart secre'

promoters of the deep waterway move

of the Deep Waterways committee.
He had been in telephone communi.
cation with Mr., Indy who had urged
that the people of Cairo and Alexander
county attend this meeting, because
matters would be presented in which
they had direct and deep interest
Mr.. Lorlmer will be the principal
speaker He will have charts to illus.
trate the project and he will explain
the proposed twenty million dollar
bond issue. The mayor called for sug.
gestions from those present as to the
measures to be taken to insure a

distinguished visitors Monday.
Cairo on The Map.
John S. Aisthorpe said the chief
question in connection with the propo-
sition was the bond issue. 1t was this
which the people had to decide upon
and vote upon, and it was important
that they should be thoroughly inform.
ed upon the subject. This Mr.. Lori.
mer was able to 10. People In the
larger cities of the state had sent out
favorable expressions and it was de
srable to reach the voters in the
country precincts. He suggested that
crulars be sent to voters informing
them of the meeting to be held here
and inviting them IN attand Mr. Ais.
thorpe said Cairo was on the map in
this matter and would derive as much
benefit from the Improvement as any
city on the rivers. He was forcibly
reminded that Cairo was rising in
the estimation of people outside by
the sign board he had seen along the
Illinois Central the other day which
read 1927 miles to Cairo. II was the
first of this kind he had ever seen and
he felt like taking off his hat and
greeting it with shout, as indicating
that advertisers were beginning to be
awake to the fact that Cairo was a
point of more than ordinary import

Chas. r. Stuart moved that the opera

A question was raised as to the pos.
sibility of securing the opera house
in view of the fact that 1t Is leased
for moving picture performances.
Dan l.. Williamson was called into
consultation and while he had leased
the opera house to Mr.. Eichenberger
for the summer season and would
have to consult Manager Phil Saup

Mr.. Williamson also agreed to try to
secure some appropriate films for the

Some doubt was expressed as to the
of having a picture show
as it would attract too many children.

not be the case as the meeting was to

tors lands and it's improvements,
the lumbermen's lands, his timber,
his logs and his lumber, and the
merchants buildings and stock of
goods, are always in sight and can
not escape taxation in some amount,
but the thousands and thousands of
dollars in the shape of notes, land

never IN sight so far as the tax
gatherer is concerned and does not
bear it's proper share of the burden

to remedy this the Tax League was

There ought not to be on the part
of any person any objection to the
Tax League laying before the State
Tax Commission any facts relating
to the valuation of property, both
real and personal, subject to taxa
ton in this county, or any fact relat-
ing to whether or not it has been
taxed, but I deem it my duty to
contradict statements made before
the State Tax Commission which
were not in fact true, and if any
similar statements are in the future
presented to the State Tax Commits
sion, or any other statement which
is not based upon the facts, I, as a
citizen of Beltramii county indepand-
ent of any retainer that I may have,
not only deem it my privilege, but
feel it my duty, to advise the State
Commission of the incorrect .ess of
that statement, and lay before that
Tax Commission the facts as I know
them to be.
I enjoy the distinction, 1 believe,
of being the only citizen in Beltrami
