TAX REVIEWERS
MAKE A DENIAL
Say There Was no Mistake
in Report.
MYSTIFIED BY SALARY cur
Believe Disgruntled Office
Seeker Does 1t.
Members of Board of Review Seek
Explanation of False Reports-Say
Their Figures Were Correct-An-
nounccment of Salary Cut Comes
AS Big Surprise.

why is the wherefor of this cruel
thing? That is the question, or one
something near akin to it, that mem
bers of the Marion board of review
are asking one another this morn
ing. The members of this valuable
board have had their salaries cut
from $500 a day to $3.50 and just
why the cut was made they are un-
able to state. They suspect however,
that the head of some disappointed
politician turks back of the deal.
Those composing the board are G..
II. Foster, l.. b. McNeal and $. T..
DeWolfe. They say that no one had
ever intlmated to them the possi-
bility of the county commissioners
lowering their salaries. The announce
ment came as suddenly and with as
much force as bolt from the clear
sky.
A local paper published the state
ment that the commissioners order
ed this salary cut because the board
of review had made mistake of
$47, 900 I'm its annual report to the
county auditor. This rs absolutely un-
true, members of the board say. and
they would like to know the exact
origin Of the story.
THAT is rap at me and not at
any member of the board" states
George Geran, clerk of the board. 81
copied the report In full, and 1 know
positively that there was no mistake
made. The report was not sent back
to us by the county auditor, as has
| been enormously published"
Members of the board of commits
sioners were not In the city today
and could not be seen In regard to
the matter. 1t is stated by persons
closely connected with the board,
however, that the commissioners have
been considering this cut in the tax
reviewers salaries for several months.
| When the board of quadrennial APP
| pralsers was elected and II came To
fixing their salaries, they complained
at being paid only $3.50 a day. They
stated that the members of the board
Of review were paid $500 day and
since they received their jobs through
appointment, had no campaign ex-
pensos TO pay. The quadrennial APP
praisers were forced TO meet the eX-
penses of campaign and yet receiv-
ed $3.50 a day less.
This is what brought the matter
TO the attention of the commissioners
in he first place, 1t Is said. Persons
connected with the commissioners af-
fairs say that the alleged mistake in
the board of reviews report If there
really was mistake, had nothing
whatever to do with the salary cut
But the board of review Is convin-
ced that some disgruntled politician
had something TO do with the affaiI
and it Is likely the members will
have to be shown otherwise before
their views are altered.
The board Of review Is still al
work getting its figures on the taS
duplicate and sending notices tC
property owners who may have haC
valuations changed.

PLEASES SCHURMAN
Cornell President Sees Good in
Big Philanthropy Scheme.
Believes Congress Should Grant Re-
quest for National Charter
Would Change Only Ono
Small Detail.

Ithaca, N. Y. = In an address
before the Council congress on
Friday night President Jacob Gould
Schurman of Cornell commended the
scheme for the Rockefeller foundation
for which congress has been asked
for national charter. President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
of several thousand words to this sub
ject and in summing up he said:
IL recognize that section No. 2 OF the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say. morals and religion, art
and science, manners and social inter-
course, and all that concerns the po-
litical. economic. and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is vast field for the exercise OF
philanthropy.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has conceived
a vast scheme of philanthropy, for the
benefit of his fellow citizens and man
kind. His character, ability and or.
ganizing skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully. with incal.
culable benefit and blessing to man.
kind. 1t is in the interest of the ma
tion that he be given a free hand In
the EXCISE of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benefi-
cence, which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
The only change I would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination Of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left close
corporation, II Mr.. Rockefeller SO de-
sires, for a generation. But after that
time l am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of a democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi-
dent of the United States. with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peo-
pie of the United States, whose well
fare is the primary object of the i'm
mense and glorious benefaction."
