Notes, Etc, Are Exempt.


The increase in Madison county as
sessments does not include bank
stock, notes and mortgages that were
given in at their face value. Likewise
there will be no increase on the indi-
vidual whose assessment had already
been increased personally by the as
SCISSOR.
These facts we're brought out by in
quiry of a Norfolk man who tele-
phoned County Clerk S. R. Mcfarland
regarding the matter.
Some of the taxpayers in Norfolk
who had given in notes and mortgages,
etc., at face value, to the assessor,
were considerably wrought up when
The News came out yesterday, show
ing that the board of equalization had
raised Norfolk's assessment 20 per-
cent. They pointed out that where
they had given in note at face value
25 percent increase was putting
more value into the document than
was there. So they felt relieved when
they telephoned and found out that
this class Of property, when given in
at face value, was exempt from the in
| crease.

TRADING IN STOCKS is DULL.
Effect Of Injunction Against Railways
Subsidies.


New York, June 25. - Exceedingly
dull stock markets with narrow but
generally firm price movements form
ed ample evidence last week of the
subsistence or excitement stirred up by
the governments injunction proceed
ings against the western railroads. 1t
has come to be recognized generally
that with all the preliminary fuss out
of the way, the future Of railroad in
vestments has narrowed down to the
workings of the railroad BILL" and
the pros and cons Of this measure,
therefore, absorbed to a large extent
the interest and attention Of the f.
nancial community.
President Ripley of the Atchison
continues to represent those who are
certain that irretrievable harm will be
worked to the countrys roads, but 1t
must be said that railroad executives
of his way Of thinking are either con-
tent to await hopefully the outcome
or feel assured that in its construction
of the terms of the new bill and its
resultant dealings with the railways
the interstate commerce commission
will display absolute fairness.
Untried as the provisions Of the bill
are, it is not surprising that conserva-
tism has ruled railroad circles, max
ing itself felt in the curtailment to a
certain extent of expenditures for new
| construction and new equipment
where these involved capital outlays
the carrying of which depended upon
the receipt of increased income from
the higher tariff rates which are now
subject to review and long postpone
ment at the hands Of the commission.
This power which the commission
has to hold up rates for ten months
under the terms of the bill is natural
ly Objectionable to railroad officials
but it would seem that the sensible
view to take of this matter is that the
commission will expediate its inves

Iaft,s Achievement.


Washington Post; The wisdom of
President Taft's policy of Cancellation
is being exemplified very clearly in
the last days of the Sixty-first con-
gress. Without the blare of trumpets,
the president has accomplished the
bulk of his legislative program, and
regulars and insurgents are now join
ing together in praising his achieve.
ment.
There are many persons who thought
that President Taft had made a great
mistake in outlining so definitely what
he hoped to accomplish in the course
of the Sixty-first congress. Had he
not expressed such great hopes, it was
pointed out, he would have been in a
position to claim victory, even
though only a few good laws were
enacted.
Periodically it was declared that the
legislative program was hopelessly
blocked; that this bill or that bill had
been dropped overheard, and that con-
gress would pass the railroad bill and
adjourn with half the program lost in
the shuttle. All kinds of criticism
were leveled against the president for
having bitten off more than he could
chew.
1t is now very evident to friends
and critics alike that President Taft
knew what he was doing. The admin.
istration took no chances. The bills
to which the republican national con-
vention pledged itself were drawn up
under the supervision of the president
himself.
With the exception of the anti-in
junction law, every single measure to
which Mr.. Taft pledged himself will
be passed before the close of the pres
ent congress. The railroad bill-ad
mitted by insurgents, democrats and
regular republicans alike to be one OF
the best measures ever given the coun
try-has already been signed by the
president. So has the statehood bill
which brings the number of states in
the union to forty-eight. The conser
walton measure has been passed by
the senate, and will be approved by
the house, going to the president fol
his signature in a few days.
All the bills, so frequently said tt
have been dropped overheard, have
on the contrary, been piloted safely
into port, and it would seem that the
president could take his vacation witt

There can be no question that Good
