BASEBALL WAR COMING

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1S.-It is
learned today that the state base
ball league is considering the ad.
visibility of breaking into the local
baseball field. which would mean
war between the Pacific Coast and
State leagues and plenty of good
ball

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-The an

crease of $10.000.O00 in profits OF
the Southern and Union Pacific
roads created furry in financial
circles here today. Such depre-
citation was unexpected.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. Aug. 1s.-At
joint meeting of the chamber OF

the Businessmen association,
strong resolution was adopted to-
day denouncing rioting and assur-

which has taken up It's time it will
be necessary to have night sessions
probably Thursday, Friday and Sa-
turday. The board has only until
Saturday to complete it's entire
work. AS soon as all the complaints
and requests for adjustment have
been received. the board will re-
tire into executive session to
equallze all of the valuations.
Another element enters strongly
into the boards deliberations as to
granting the Taxpayers league re-
auctions. If reductions are made
on business property, then it will
be necessary to equalize the fig
ures all down the line. 1t will
mean a change in every valuation
placed by the assessor, and
amounts to job which Auditor
Greene's force is incapable of ac-
complishing in time for the meet
ing of the state board of eQualiza-
ton.
81 shall simply demand more
time stated Auditor Greene. my
men are fast at calculation and ac-
curate, but this proposed reduction
will amount to too large an under
taking to accomplish in time for
the meeting of the state board
The state board sets certain
dates for the counties, and Auditor
Greene intends to ask that Spo-
kane be set at the last of the list.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-08-18

According to Chairman George
Collin of the board of equalizers,
substantial reductions will be made
in the assessors valuations all
down the line. 1t was expected
some time ago that the influences
exerted by the Taxpayers league
would lead to reductions practically
as the league members desired.
= The league asked a general re-
duction, but the board withheld
promises until an opinion could oe
obtained from County Attorney
Barnhart as to violating the state
law requiring a 60 per cent assess
ment. But no opinion has been
returned as yet. Instead the Tax
payers league attorneys advised a
sliding scale OF reductions so that
the board could keep within the
sense Of its name-board of equali-
cation. Consequently the league
has submitted a new scale of re-
ductions-30 per cent for business
property, 20 per cent for semi
business property, Is per cent to
10 per cent on farm and residence
property.
These figures and the private at
torneys' opinions undoubtedly will
be followed to great extent by the
board in arriving at its final equali-
cation.

THE TRUTH REVEALED

Here are the results of some
actual Investigations made by
Woman's Home Companion in its
campaign for clean grocery stores:
81 asked the grocer whose GUS
toners could not afford to buy
package goods how he sold the
best grade of rice in his stock. He
weighed out a pound of large,
plump-grained rice at sixteen
cents. | duplicated that pound at
another store in a dust
proof package ut fifteen cents.
"He did have both the bulk and
package oatmeal. | bought a
pound Of bulk at five cents, and
two-pcund package of Il recognize
ed brand At ten cents. On reach
ing home | weighed both. The
bulk. poured into the scales,
weighed an ounce less than a
pound. The package weighed ex-
actly two pounds when poured out
of the carton. The honest grocer
handles package goods that weigh
as much as advertised without the

ENGLISH VIEW OF OUR NAVY.

1t is responsible to assume
that criticism of our navy
made by English naval ex-
perts in a friendly spirit are
of more value and Importance
than the criticisms of our
ma gazine writer's. These ex-
perts, dealing with the re-
cent sensational articles writ
ten by Mr.. Reuterdahl, de-
clare that the question of
proper construction of battle
ships cannot be settled except
by test in actual warfare,
while one point, they say,
which Reuterdahl has over
looked, constitutes the true
weakness Of the United
States navy.
This point is the lack of
a mercantile marine to fur
nish coal carriers in time of
war, and what is Of greater
Importance, train seaman to
man both the auxiliary and
the fighting ships. "A fleet

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAfIC.

i Have you asked your Rep'bli-
can neighbors how they like this
business depression and b. ak
down Of the guaranteed Re-
publican prosperity? Ii the pro-
tective tariff is such sure curr for
hard times and Republican Fl an
cial policies are necessar. TO
prevent panics how can they ex-
plain present conditions? | is
nonsense to say that this WIS a
Wall Street panic, brought on for
political purposes, for the finan-
ciers who run Wall Street affairs
are too smart to ruin themselves
and they have suffered enormously.
Panicy conditions have reached
the most stable and distant fields.
Judge Sinclair. of Nebraska, when
in Washington recently declar-
ed that, "the West is we'll fixed
financially. None Of the banks in
his town was pressed for cash dur
ing the recent furry" but added
this Republican authority: "They
adopted limited payments, bu, diG
not need to do it." Now any bank
that adopted ''limited payments"
which is another way of saying it
stopped cash payments, was
certainly helping the panic, and
making it more distressing and
was more to blame than the frenzi-
ed fnanciers of Wall Street who
were actually unable to meet the
demands of their depositors. 1t
is almost a certainty that those
banks at Kearney, Nebraska, for
that is the home of the Republican
politician who favors the country
with his extraordinary statement
above quoted-are run by Re-
publicans. Were those Nebraska
Bankers in league with the New
York banks to produce and pro-
long the panic? If they refused to
pay their depositors when they
were not oppressed for cash." they
committed it nota crime against
the banking laws of the United
States, most despicable outrage
against their deposi.ors and the
people generally. AS the banks
generally refused to pay cash to
their depositors were they also in
collision with the New York banks
to help indicate to the people that
certain policies of the Roosevelt
Administration were panic breed
ers? In any event there is no
escape for the Republican party,
whatever produced the panic.
The coming Republican National
Convention will endorse Roosevelt
and all his doings, it will endorse
Republican policies and point with
pride to the prosperity of the
trusts and corporations as one of
the most conspicuous merits OF
Republican ascendency. But still |
the glaring fact will have to be
explained by our Republican
friends, why the panic occurred
under Republican policies, with |
all Departments of the govern
ment under their full control for
the past ten years. What as
surance can the Republican party |
offer that further panics will not
follow, if they are aoain entrusted |
with power? AND with what face |
can they again declare that Re-
publican policies are ''panic
proof?"

Advocates of currency re-
form may well throw up their
hands in utter despair over
the bill which has just been
introduced in the United
States Senate. So far from
meeting, even in the slightest
degree, the views Of those
who have given years Of
study to this question, the
Aldrich bill goes to the other
extreme of providing for just
the sort of currency system
which they have constantly
exhorted congress to abiure.
The Aldrich bill is worse than
a mere makeshift: it is one Of
the most vicious pieces Of
proposed currency Legislation
that have claimed the at
tentiOn of the national law
body in the past
twelve years. The Lord
knows we need currency re-
form, need it badly and need
it as soon as We can get it,
but if this is a sample of the
kind We must accept, then by
all means let us get along
without any at all. The chief
objection to the bill is that it
perpetuates the principal
defect in our present bank
note circulation, namely, the
feature of bond security, and
it is the one feature which
makes against the element of
''elasticity,'' which. it is to
be presumed, is the object
the trainers of the bill
are striving to attain. Boston

FRAUD IS CHARGED
IN A REALTY DEAL

C. D, Harding brought suit against
William Cederlof in the Third district
court, Friday, for $1,000 damages,
charging Cederlof with fraud End mis-
representation in the sale of plot of
land in Emigration canyon to him.
Cederlof misrepresented the boundary
line, Harding says, pointing out to him
before the sale that there was public
road for q distance Of forty rods along
the north boundary limo which afforded
easy egress and ingress.
The fact is, Harding SAYS, that the
land is SO situated that 1T leaves only a
strip cf land ranging in width from one
foot to seventy feet north of the true
boundary line and the wagon road, pre-
venting egress from and. mgr SIS t. the
land foI half of its distance. 1he CON
