GRiNNELL GIRLS SING.
alee Club Girls Annual Home Concert
To Appreciative
AudiAneA
Audiences.

Grinnell, April 26.-(SpeciaD The
Girls Glee club of Grinnell college
gave their annual home concert be-
fore small but enthusiastic and ap-
preciative audience of students and
townspeople. The club showed, in
their singing, marked Improvement
over former years, and the careful
training given them by Professor
Pierce was very evident. The work of
the club was supplemented by the
quartet. The cello numbers of Miss
Frances Parkinson and the piano
selection by Miss Sarah Macdonald
we're both of high order. Miss Leila
Snyder. the accomplished contralto OF
the club sang two well chosen num-
bers.
The climax came when eight girls
with cords of many tiny colored light
bulbs gave charming drill in which
the sparkling lights in the darkness OF
the chapel seemed like so many fit
ting stars or fire flies. Finally the
cords were held back and as the back
ground appeared, huge &c" in CLEAN
Ing red lights, while the club sang,
70. Hail to the Scarlet and Black"

CARNATIoN DAY
At CENTERv|LLE
BOOSTER LADIES PLAN UNIQUE
AFFAIR FOR SATURDAY
APRIL so.

Centerville, April 26.--The Booster
Ladies are planning an unique affair
for next Saturday, April 80, when
pretty young girls will be on the
public square offering carnations for
sale, the proceeds to be used by the
ladies in carrying forward the work
of identifying the city. As in the
case of Tag day, the flower girls will
be chaperoned by matrons.
Carnations will be sold at 10
cents each and everybody will be ex-
pected to purchase at least one
buttoniere, while there will also be
prices for dozen lots. The difference
between this and tag day is that you
get something for your money this
time. In addition to this the cause
is a worthy one and no one can we'll
begrudge the purchase Of one, or
even a number Of the pretty blossoms.

Unknown GREELEY MAN
KILLED IN FLORIDA

Who is S. F. Hart, killed recently
hv a locomotive engineer in Tampa.

Word has come to Marshal VIII

trical engineer in Tampa, who states
that Hart remarked before his death
that he had valuable papers worth
many thousands OF dollars in bank
Greeley.
His property is said to include
mining stock and oil stock papers be-
side cash and other belongings.
1t is likewise stated by HIM that
there was a will left in the same bank
making disposition of harts prop
erty
Marshal Williams and his men IN

have thus far failed to gain any trace
of the property of Hart or to ma
anyone acquainted with such man
II is believed that Hart did have
valuable belongings in Weld county

town and efforts will be made to ind
them.
The fact that he was dying when
he made the statement may account
for lack of exactness in information.

| ing Governor BuchtelS adm1nlStra-
tion the legislature appropriated
$2,6S7,SO1.7S, and the legislature
during Governor Shafroth's admin
istration made appropriations in the
sum OF $3,S93,747.S7. While this
last appropriation exceeds the form
er appropriations by sl,20O,000, l
will show you later in my talk that
approximately million dollars was
for improvements and permanent
buildings.
That the state is able to meet its
bills Is due to the fact that it is an
assessment concern. Like the horse
leech its continual cry is more,
and saps the very life blood of our
financial labor.
want to give you an illustration
of the state board of equalizations'
assessments on what is known as
corporation property:
In the year 1904 the valuation
was $50. .S64.71S.
In the year 1905 the valuation
was s5l.622,794.
In the year 1906 the valuation
was $51 ,370,254
In the year 1907 the valuation
was $50. 977,527.
In the year 1905 the valuation
|, was S52,07S, S,1S7.
In the year 1909 the democratic
board assessed the corporate prop
erty OF this state at $50, 5,S51 1923. In
the year 1910 the same board asses
sed the corporate property of this
state at 5S.476.935; 9 per cent in
crease OF. Sc, 400, 900 more than the
highest assessment made in six
/, years by the republican boards. This
amount not only gave to the state a
large revenue on corporate prop
erty, but it also gave to the public
schools and for county purposes an
increase OF . per cent greater than
| they had in any former years. We
have discovered that in some places
the consciences of some OF our re-
publican boards of county commits
sioners were SO warped that they
had not only reduced the valuation
for county purposes, but stated IT
was too high for state purposes. We
! may be able to appear before you
and tell you people that those men
| are in Jail for perpetrating such In
fanny. not only upon the property
owners, but upon the school children
ms we'll, by depriving them Of moneys
| that belonged to them to give them
an education so that they might be
| able for the battle of life.
| Every useless expenditure Is an
extravaganza of the peoples money,
and 1t 10 our duty to put stop to 1t.
For any Indebtedness belonging to
this period. Treasurer Galigan has
made arrangements with the banks
whereby they will not charge inter-
est on borrowed money where the
amount on deposit equals or exceeds
the amount borrowed. At the close
of this period these institutions will
not owe cent to the banks or any
one else.
