FIX STREETCAR
VALUATIONS

Tax Commissioners Rockwell
and Frost arrived from Olympia
last night and this morning began
work with Assessor Galbraith on
street railway valuations. The
assessor has not attempted to ar
rive at valuation himself. Mr.
Rockwell said
1--WE want to arrive at reason
able valuation of this property in
proportion to the valuation placed
on other property"
He would not be quoted further.
After they are through with the
streetcar property commissioners
will cheek up valuations placed on
other property. Regarding the cry
of the Taxpayers league against
the assessor, Mr.. Rockwell said:
"The league has not gone about
1t right 1t does not make the
claim that the valuations are not
true valuations, but merely pro-
tests that they are higher than last
year."

DRAW
OUT OF LEAGUE

The Hardwood team in the
Amateur league has drawn out be-
cause it was not released from the
schedule tomorrow calling for a
game with the s. A. A. c. The
Hazelwoods wanted to go to St.
Maries instead of playing the regu-
lar game. Occur d'Alene wants ad-
mission to the league and team
from that city will be admitted to
fill the vacancy.
This will elevate the Amateur
league from a purely local organi-
cation to an interstate baseball
league, which is going some for a
league that has been in existence
only this season.

FOURTH WARD TO
TALK BRIDGES

The question of issuing bonds
and building bridges will be taken
up by the Northwest Civic I'M
provement club Monday evening at
a meeting called for 8 O'Clock in
Justice Suckers room at the
courthouse. The matter of day la
Dor or contract will also be dis
cussed. This club is representa-
tive of that part of the city most
interested in getting a new bridge
at Monroe st.
United action is desired there to
see that a bridge is actually con-
structed this time If another bond
issue is authorized, and the club
meeting is open to all who are con-
cerned with the project, which is
of direct Importance to all resi-
dents of the Fourth ward.

City Attorney Hamblen will have
a formidable array of counsel to
face in the fight to make the w.
w. P. Co. pay something toward
maintenance of bridges it has worn
out.
In the Monroe st. bridge case the
company is represented by. George
Turner, H. M. Stephens and Frank
T. Post. The city Is suing to col
lect $23,S66 for repairs to the
bridge since 1t passed to the city.
The company is evidently fight
ing more to establish the principle
that it should pay nothing what
ever for public privileges than for
the sum sued for, as the attorney
bill will probably equal that
amount before the matter is
settled
In answer to the suit filed by the
city, the company pleads an al
legged mistake in the bridge deed
by which the company claims ex.
elusive franchise on any and all
bridges that may be built at Mon
roe St.

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, July 1o.-This cam
paign we are going to know who
furnishes the money for conduct
ing the monster organizations of
the big political parties.
Bryan suggested this some time
ago in a message to Taft, Just
prior to the adjournment of con-
gress, urging his assistance In Sc
curing the passage of the bill max
ing compulsory the publicity Of
campaign contributions.
Taft promptly responded that
he had urged upon Senator Bur-
rows. chairman of the elections
committee, that he use every pos
sible influence in passing the
measure.
Still the bill didn't pass.
Now, however, Geo. r. Sheldon,
treasurer of the republican nation
al committee, declares for the pub
licity of campaign contributions.
The democratic organization has
made early announcement to the
same effect, carrying out the spirit
of their platform declaration.
Sheldon will have his head
quarters in New York. with a
branch headquarters in Chicago.
New York has a state law requir-
ing the publication OF all campaign
contributions.
The democratic headquarters
probably will be in Chicago. There
is no such law in Illinois. but the
plan Is to make everything public
anyway.
Sheldon says that all contribu-
lions will be handled directly
through the New York headquar-
ters; there will be no lodging pub
licity by switching the campaign
offerings to Chicago.
Conservative estimates place the
amount of money necessary for
the republican needs at $4,000 900.
Sheldon has already started on a
still hunt for the 100000.
