Lower Counties Can Not Longer

i, Especial Dispatch 10 The CalIl

7 OS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-South-
ern California has lined up for
- battle with the state board OF
equalization. The members of the
board reached Los Angeles today, but
= report, apparently we'll authenti-
Gated, that a general and generous in
crease IN the assessments in this part
OF the state was contemplated had pre-
cedcd them
1t is known that gross discrepancies
have been discovered in the figures OF
the assessors Of the lower counties
II was also established beyond doubt
today that Los Angeles would take
the lead IN resisting any advance over
the figures of its own officials.

state board said today that he and his
colleagues desired to put into effect
an equitable assessment and that
changes would be made wherever
necessary. With Brown are: J. Harry
Scott. the San Francisco member; Rich
ard F. Collins. the member from Red
ding; A. B. Nye. state controller and ex-
eficio member, and Secretary Thomas

Throws Burden on North

The revelations which have already
become public show that the southern
counties are assessed on a basis far
below that of the northern counties.
The effect OF this, it is manifest, IS
10 throw upon the north the burden
of the expense of the state govern
ment.
An estimate from unofficial sources
tends to show that through the pro-
cess of undervaluation property in the
southern counties to the amount OF
nearly s2oo, 100000 has escaped taxa
ton. At the 40 cent rate that pre-
vailed last year this would amount to
SsOo,00O in revenue which should have
come from the region south of Te-
hachapi, but which was drawn from
the northern counties.

WANTS AID FOR
CRITTENTON HOME
ELIZABETH c, BRIGGS is GET.
TING HELP FOR THE uNFoR-
TuNATE GIRLS.

Devils Lake, ". D., Sept 21.--Miss
u. @. Briggs, of Washington, D. c.,
who is a national solicitor for the
Florence Crittenton homes, is in the
city for a couple of days seeking sub
scriptions to carry on the work of the
Fargo home Of the establishment The
Crittenton homes are organized and
carried on to help unfortunate girls
and their babies. There are seventy
eight of the homes scattered in cities
all over the United States, and all of
them are crowded. They keep the
girls who have been turned out of
house and home until they can get
them places to work in which they
can support themselves and their chill
dren. The girls are of all ages UP
from sixteen and most of them are
not too hardened by their experience
to become unseful members of society
and wives.
The Fargo home is in bad shape fin-
ancially just now, as it is so over
crowded that some Of the inmates have
to sleep on the porches. Some $1,000
was raised in that city last week to
help supply the deficit, and Miss Briggs
is now at work over the state to raise
enough to put them on their feet. The
work is one that deserves and will re-
ceive the utmost aid from Devils Lake

IRREGULARITIES CLAIMED.

tract FOR Ramsey County Jail.
Grand Forks, N d., Sept. 21.-The
Devils Lake Jail question is still agi-
tating the minds of the people of Ram
sey county who are watching for an
early decision in the matter. AS has
been previously stated, the question
Is now in the hands of Judge Knee
shaw, but he cannot hand down a.
decision until he receives the briefs.
The question seems to rest upon the
legality of the board of commission
ers' action in providing funds for the
new building. 1t is claimed that an
appropriation was made previous to
the letting of the contract in antici
patton of the act, and that by so do
ing the board has acted illegally. An
other matter that has been brought
up is that of the employment of an
architect to prepare plans Two bids
on the work were received one for
two per cent and the other for two
and a half per cent of the building.

the fall term as advertised on Tues
day, one week from today, Sept Is.
The rumor that is being generally

without foundation. The contractor
has the heating fixtures within the
building far enough along that 1t can
be used. Two boilers have been set
In the new plant and by laying a
temporary connecting pipe along the

ing plant to the buildings, enough
heat can be secured for some weeks
to come, or until such time as the
plant is entirely completed.
Everything will be in readiness for
the opening next week.
