Investigators Assert That Deduction
of Four Sulliest Votes Still
Leaves Lorimer IA Majority.

Characterizing as blackmailer
Charles A. White, the member of the
illinois legislature who first charged
that William Lorimer, the blond
boss of Chicago, had been elected to
the United States senate by bribery
the committee on privileges and cleo
tons of which Senator Burrows of
Michigan is chairman, presented the
report on its inquiry
The report says that the investiga-
ton chiefly was directed to the claim
that several members of the legis-
lature were bribed to vote for Mr..
Lorimer and whether, if these
charges were established, "a sufficient
number were bribed to vote for Sen
ator Lorimer to render his election to
that Office invalid" The committee
says that it took into account the
demeanor of witnesses while testify
ing, their apparent candor or want OF
candor and other indicia of the truth
or falsity of the stories they were
telling. The report says:
-Four members of the general as
sembly which elected Mr.. Lorimer
testified to receiving money as con-
sideration for their votes The mem
bers who thus confessed their own
infamy were Charles A. White, Mich
ael Link. II. J. c. Beckemeyer and
Daniel w. Holstlaw."
The report goes on to name White
as ''the chief of those self-accusers
and the one on whose testimony the
whole fabric of the accusations large
~ depends" and accuses him directly
of corruption throughout his legis-
iative career. 1t is stated that White
appears to have conceived the plan
of claiming to have been bribed in
connection with the senatorial cleo
ton as basis for extorting money
from Senator Lorimer."

State Board of Equalization.
Mansfield Journald.l

An effort will be made to shake up the
State Board of Equalization during the
present session of the Legislature. What
effect the shaking will have remains to be
seen, but many landowners hope that it
will result in the repeal of the law creating
the board.
The board was created to equalize assess
ments throughout the State, but this has
not been done satisfactorily. The most
that can be said in favor of the board is
that it has raised the assessments on GER
tain kind of property. But it has utterly
failed to equalize assessments in adjoining
parishes even. The dissatisfaction existing
throughout the State caused by rulings of
the board is proof of this statement.
There never was real demand for the
existence of the board, which has shown
itself to be merely perfunctory body.
The Police Juries are the proper bodies to
pass upon the assessments. The members
of these bodies are familiar with values in
their respective parishes are supposed to be
representative citizens, capable and honest.
There are too many State Boards any
how. The tax payers are tired of some of
them, and the interests for which they
were created would not suffer by their
abolition. They are expensive, at times
extravaganza, and yet they fail to do what
is expected of them. Cheaper methods
to accomplish the ends for which they were
established can be found, and they should
be found.
