For four days the state tax COM

help matters much now. The tax
commission is in hurry.
Today the tax commission issued its
order in the Labette county assess
ment case. Labette county in the
process of equalization, had its as
sessed value raised about five mill
lions of dollars by the tax commission.
There was big protest. The county
attorney and about thirty deputy as
SCISSORS came to Topeka and put in a
whole day talking il over with the tax
commission. AS result, they con-
WINGED the commission that the condi-
tons In that county were not exactly
the same as in other counties because
of the extraordinary growth of Par
sons. So the tax commission made a
readJustment, and fixed new per-
centages of increase and decrease for
| the various classes of real estate. The
real estate in Parsons and Mound
Valley was increased. That of Alta
mont, Bartlett, Chetopa, Edna, and
Oswego was decreased. But for the
whole county the equalized assessment
was left at S34,2sS.554, which is only
a few thousand dollars less than il
| was before the recent changes were
made.
Certain special increases were made
| in about 10000 acres of mineral lands
| in Cherokee county. The assessment of
| this land was raised $40 an acre by an
order of the board issued today This
| means an increased valuation in the
county of about 100000.

Let Michigan Be Noted
For Its Water Wagons.
Say, Candidate Tracy

Let this state be noted not alone
for the building of the best automo-
biles. but for the building OF the best
water wagons"
This is the way that Joseph p.
Tracy, candidate OF the Michigan
Prohibitionists for president OF the
United States. summed up his argu-
ment for a strong prohibition cam
paign In this state In an address in
the Y NJ G.. A. Tuesday evening on
the liquor question That he is not
a oneidea man, however, was shown
by his arguments in regard to other
Issues
The greed OF the paper trust he de-
nounced, and he also spoke for gov
eminent banking system. He would
have government banks established
all over the country. paying two per
cent interest
With regard to the army, Tracy's
views are striking. He would have
the soldiers receive better pay than
s13 per month and favors having a
trade school and farm attached TO
each army post. that the men may be
taught occupations that will be for
their good after they leave the army.
In discussing the liquor question. he
treated IL mainly as a matter OF profit
and loss to the nation The twobil-
lion-dollar drink bill OF the nation
would restore prosperity, he argued,
and the abolition of the traffic would
increase the industrial efficiency OF
the nation. Speaking Of the statement
made that there is saloon to every
90 voters In Michigan, he inquired. lis
