proxies, so lost out on this rule. 1t
is true the convention had adopted
the rule. but II thought it was merely
adopting an amendment.
In the South Benton precinct Henry
Hollins had promised to split the vote
between Barry and Wyatt, but he
went back on the promise. He had
made 1t in, the presence OF Chairman
Fisher.
Cries Of "Be man, Stand by your
agreement" were heard. An appeal
was made to Fisher but he was afraid
to say how the vote should be, and
SO votes were cast for Wyatt. The
balance were held up. Suppressed
Kisses were heard for the chair.

Ray moved that no candidate be de-
clared nominated until he received
4.S61. w. A. Berry appealed to the
chair, who sustained his objection.
The credentials committee, by
Chairman Graham. this morning re-
ported seating Burt Elsey. OF West
|Bardwell. an anti-Barry delegate,
whose credentials were signed by the
precinct chairman; r. Howell, of
Bandana. anti-Barry delegate and
w. N. Warren. an Eaton delegate
from Gallman's precinct, whose ere
dentials were not signed by the pre-
cinct Committeeman. The committee
also reported that Mr.. Jones, the
Barry delegate from Massac precinct,
this county, with ia votes, and John
Younker. Of Hendren, who cast his
1873 votes for T. u. Gardner for tenn
porary chairman, did not have any
credentials. They both said they
handed their credentials in yester-
day.
This report was made when Tenn
porary Chairman Jack Fisher called
the convention to order at 10 o'clock
and w. A. Berry again assumed the
role OF floor manager and moved the
adoption OF the report. He and NJ. Z.
Gilbert demanded recognition at the
same time, Gilbert moving to lay the
motion on the table and Berry cali

insisted that the original question
cut on all debate. Jack Fisher looked
as II he wanted to say that, too, and
While Jack was trying to say 1t,
Gilbert managed to declare that some
one had stolen the credentials, that II
was an attempt at political robbery.
and asked II the chair intended to sit
supine and allow the whisky ring and
a lot OF buns TO run over the people
OF the district. He was wildly
cheered.

Quincy in yesterdays Waterford Quincy
game and it was his initial appearance
in Central Association game. He
will probably take part in one Of the
games tomorrow.
The second no-hit game Of the sea-
son in the Central Association was
twirled yesterday by Turkey Boyd
Of Burlington against the Jacksonville
club. He did not allow hit In nine
innings. The other occasion was
when Fennell of Ottumwa pitched a
no hit game against Burlington.
The Gate City must have had the
right "hunch" on Yeager when It
mentioned that the Quincy second
baseman had not been disposed Of to
another club. The Journal says: A
number of rumors have been afioat
during the past few days regarding
Pop Yeager. one of them being that
he had been sold to Monmouth, of the
I'm. league, and another that he had
been disposed of to Waterloo. How
ever, neither Of the runlors is correct,
and no disposition will be made OF
the "old man" for a time at least Or

Tax Communication Rap. Personal Prop

Tax Commi.sfon Raps Personal Prop
erty Levy.
Personal property is assessed ut
less than one-half of its true value" is
one of the striking statements in the
report of the State tax commission, sub
mitted to the Legislature the other, day.
The laws relating to assessments have
not been changed in any material re-
spect since the act of 1908, resulting in
the exemption of mortgages, but assess
ments of personal property falling off
from 56.2 per cent to 1875 per cent OF
the true value during that period. This
constantly increasing omission from the
assessment rolls of personal property,
or the differentiation of such as find
their way to the rules seems to have
the tacit approval of the local taxpay-
ers; very rarely criticism of the asses
sors comes from them. 1t ii quite APP
parent that we are fast drifting away
from the assessment of personal prop
erty and toward a tax ON land only"
The report further declares that while
the State assessment more than doubles
the value of the personal property of
the State as assessed locally, the root
o. the evj IS not reached as long as
no additional property is placed on the
local rolls. The larger the amount of
property omitted by the local assessor,
the heavier is the burden on the prop
erty, which he places ON the rolls"
says the report. The nearer he comes
TO placing all taxable property upon the
rolls at full value, the lower the rate
and the greater the relief to those per-
sons who under careless assessment
find their property on the rolls" Re
ferring to monies and credits, the re-
port shows that most assessors seem to
