TAX
 MUDDLE IN COURT
Judge J. D. Shaver Thursday Granted Temporary Injunction Restrain
 ing County Clerk From
 Changing Assessments.

Judge James D. Shaver of the Chancery CourtThursday granted temporary injunction and re- straining order to prevent A. B. Little, county clerk of Miller county, from changing the assess ment books in accordance with the reductions made by orders of the county court.
 Judge l.. A. Byrne, who, rep reseuiing the head of equalizs ion of Miller county came before Judge Shaver asking the iniunc- tiou, was joined in the suit by Attorney General Norwood, rep reseniiug the state.
 The alleg are to the eff feet that the county judge, in lowering the assessments as made by the assessor, was partial to corporations and wealthy taxpay- CTS, reducing the taxable valua- ton of their property in some in- stances to not exceed 25 per cent of real value, while the great m . ioritv stand assessed in a 50 per cent basis, as decided upon as 8 i fair basis for the entire state.
 It is stated the county clerk has not as yet changed the assessment books to conform to these reduc- tions, but soon will do so unless enjoiued from carrying out tn ? orders of the county court.
 On the showing made Judge Shaver granted temporary in- junction, as asked, at the same tune giving any person, partner ship or corporation feeling them selves aggrieved the right to be- come a party to the suit.
 The next regular term of Chancery Court here is in March, but it may be that this case will be brought up sooner.
 It will be remembered that when Judge J. E. Hampton, chairman of the State T X Com mission, was in Mena, he stated that Miller county, in which IS Texarkana, was one of the worst assessessed counties in the state, in that it was paying taxes on [ basis of not much over 20 per cent while others were paying on 5l per cent and over.
 This suit will probably be ol vast importance to the state being probably a test case tha will have much to do with the effort to bring about equal and fair methods of assessment ant taxation.
 Jndge Byrne returned to Texar kama Friday and it is probable that the filing of the injunction will be somewhat of surprise, a. we'll as a shock, to some of thos' most interest.

ROOSEVELT MAY
 TAKE A HAND
It VIII not Be at all Surprising if the Ex-President Takes Active Interest in Defense of Man Who Is Try-
 ing to Enforce His Policies.

Washing ton, D. C., December 27. The proposed investigation of Ballinger and his conduct of the general land office is the big gest and most rteutious thing that nas hppeued under the Taft regime.
 Inasmuch as the fate of one of mainstay policies of Theodore Roosevelt Is involved ;n gne con- iroversy, it IS not at all improb- able that the ex-president him. self will take an active hand in the proceedings. There is every liklihood that Roosevelt will be on America's soil before the in- vestigation can be completed, , which will probably not be with in a year, partic i.arly should the ,nvestig ating committee make a trip to Alaska.
 Simmered down, the Pinchot- Ballinser feud is quarrel be tween Roosevelt and Taft, and is so regarded in all well-informed circles in Washington, Roosevelt is sqaarely behind Pinchot. Taft is just as firmly supporting Bal finger. Tn. fight which has de. veloped to this loInt is one in- volving the principles of govern meut which President Roosevelt e ia a5lshed. and those which the opponents of Rooseyeltism would substitute.
 The investigation is to be one not alone of Secretary of the In- terior Balliuger, but of c fford Pinchot and the Forestry Bureau. The general impression among Washington newspaper core & pondents is tbat the object of the investigation IS to whitewash Billinger and develop some pre- text to bring about the dismissal ot Pinchot. That the outcome of the investigation will be an im- portant crisis in the Taft admin istration, particularly from Do litical standpoint, is admitted by all.
 Because he tried to follow out the Roosevelt policies Pinchot has been most unpopular with the new administration. Only re gently an attempt was made tc play clever trick on Pinchot. Those who would like to see him out of the government service succeeded iu having him offered a professorship at Ann Arbor, but he refused to uIbble at the bait which was dingled before him.
 Friends of Pinchot are particu' larly anxious to know the per sonnel of tue committee that is tc do the investigating. Senator Gore offered a resolution tc tho Senate which provided for an in vestigatiou of the conduct of tn, general land office and bureau ol forestry with respect to stone anC timber lands, coal lands, and otk CT mineral lands, water-powei sites, railway rights of way, auo the public domain generally II the states and territories of th, United States, including Alaska The measure provided for com mittee of eight members of eacl house, and named the following senators: Nelson, Deliver, Lodge Bristow, Root, TiIIman, Ston and Owen.

Will Lose Nearly SIO,OOO.

Hon. George ". Atkinson, the " ealthy Calabasas rancher and stockraiser. came up from the ranch yesterday and spent the day pleasantly here with friends.
 Mir. Atkinson says things are mighty dry down Calabasas-way, but he don't believe his losses this year will reach $1O,OOO. The gentle man says it now looks very bad for settlers on the Baca Float, all of whom will one of this days wake up, and realize that if they don't get a move on, they'll have to move off the land where for many years they have resided When that day comes, Mir. Atkin- son gays he will bring up the rear with a brass band. Land down Calahasasway is valued at $1OO. That's what the Tucson and Noga- les Railroad Company paid some of the settlers for the right-of-way.
