they want to vote have started club

prosecuted, it seems singular that
American women will not be satisfied
to do without hideous feather or

LITTLE CUT IN TAXES.
State Tax Board Caused Surprise by
Not Making Reduction in Valua-
ton.

Considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed because the board OF state
tax commissioners did not make as
large reduction in the valuation oi
property which it assessed this year
as had been expected. 1t was believ-
ed that the board would reduce the
total assessed valuation of corporate
property IN the state at least $10,OOO,-
600, but when the compilation OF the
figures was completed it was found
that the total reduction was only ST.
1903. 1t is said that the reduction
hat were made were due to the fact
that railroads earned less money lass
year than usually and that telephone
companies suffered heavy losses last
year by storms, Thus decreasing the
value OF their properties.
The assessment of steam road
properties resulted in loss of $3,-
7O2,657, the total valuation for all

being $l94,17s,625, as against the

business as dull genrally as did the
steam roads, due to their business
restricted largely to passenger traf-

ness is not so extensive or of such a
