OPPOSES CENSORSHIP
Mississippi Congressman Objects ia
Presidents Silence Order.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Reading the
order Of President Taft of November
26 last, forbidding officials of the
government from giving information
to members of congress except
through the head of the department
in which they were employed, Repre-
sentative Sisson of Mississippi today
pointed to the many dangers that he
said might arise from such an order.
IF this order goes without chal-
lenge." asked MIR. Sisson, "does it as
sumo that the president has a right
to control any information congress-
men can get?"
The question arose, he said, wheth-
er information was to be censored be-
fore congressman was to get it.
Information" he added, should
be had for the asking as a matter of
right and not as a matter of favor"

Paris, Jan. 2S.-The boiling water
of the Seine were still rising at noon
today at the rate of an inch and a
quarter an hour. There is a steacy
down-pour Of rain. The temperature
is falling. Every where the situation
is apprecialy worse than yesterday.
When the day broke over Paris and
the submerged provinces surround
ing, the prospect was cheerless one.
A heavy rain had set in and a brisk
breeze out of the north served to
drive the flood to points which here
tofore had escaped its invasion. Dur
Ing the night there was a little en-
couragement but with the early hours
today came decided change for the
worse.
Telegraphic communication with
the outside world was extremely de-
fective today and at time wholly in
terrupted. There is no direct COM
munication between this city and
England and messages for central
Europe generally were diverted
through indirect routes. 1t was fear
ed this morning that it might be I'M
possible after little to transmit any
great amount of press matter with
which the Offices of the telegraph and
cable companies were heavily bur.
dened. Early today the French Cable
company announced that the COM
munication between this city and the
provinces was difficult and at times
interrupted, causing great delay.
The morning found a great force
of masons still at work in the erec-
ton of the wall, which it. was hoped
would divert the food from this his

THE CALAMITY
DID NOT CONE
Democratic Predictions of Dire
Tariff Results Return to
Haunt Them

Washington, Jan. 2S-An animated
political debate with the tariff as its
chief feature entertained the house
iof representatives today. The agri-
cultural appropriation bill was un-
der consideration and speaking on it
Representative Boutell of Illinois up
held the Payne-Aldrich tariff law as
one that would be eminently salts
factory to the country and especially
to the southern states.
MIR. Boutell created great amuse-
ment by reading Democratic predic-
itions Of disaster after the passage of
the Dingley act, all of which were
dissipated. he said. by the actual re-
suits. Paying especial attention to
criticisms of Senator Bailey of the
Dingley and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
laws, Mr.. Boutell produced a bundle
Iof Texas newspapers of recent issue
and read from them predictins of un-
usual prosperity for Texas during the
Iyear.
Texas" interposed Representative
Slayden of that state, "is prosperous,
but it is in spite of and not because
of the Republican tariff, and if the
government is successful in its crimi-
nal prosecutions of the distinguished
Republicans, the big four trust, times
will lbe much more prosperous in Tex
as
Upon being interrupted by Repersen-
tative Henry OF Texas, Mr.. Boutell
asked that member whether he thought
prices were too high.
Certainly l think prices are too
high" replied Mr.. Fenry.
Prices of what-do you want low
er prices of cotton?" asked Mr.. Bou-
tell. and Mr.. Henry's reply was drown
ed Iii the uproar of applause from the
Republicans, which followed.
Mr.. Henry inquired whether the H.
linois member had heard that children
of Chicago went to school without
their breakfast.
ITO that l simply give the reply of
Jane Adams, who says there is no
truth in that statement" replied Mr.,
Boutell.
Mr.. Boutell then read of the increase
of prices Of articles upon which the
tariff had been reduced in the Payne-
Aldrich law.
If reduction of seventy-five cents
a hundred on lu-- Der puts the price
up he added, II wonder how high
it would go if placed on the free list" !"
High prices on raw materials, he
said. could not be maintained without
putting up the prices on the manu-
factured articles. He then read a
statistical reports to show the in
crease Of manufacturing enterprises
in the southern states.

Prices Falling

Baltimore. Jan. 2S-For the first
time since the meat boycott was start
ed here last week, the beef market has
shown a weak tendency and there was
today a decline of twenty-five cents

price of pork has continued to fail un-
TIL that commodity is today selling
for 81 less per hundred pounds than

of the larger dealers report that their
sales have fallen of fully thirty-five
per cent since the crusade against
high prices began.

FARMERS DECIDE TO SELL NO
PRODUCE FOR SIXTY DAYS
Missouri Organization VIII Seek to En-.
list all Farmers Organizations IN
the United States in the Plan-0ld
Records on the Cost Of Eggs.

New York, Jan. 2S-The effects Of
the anti-meat campaign were still
strongly reflected in the local mar
kets today. While the accessions to
the lists Of no meat for thirty days
families are perhaps less numerous.
the impetus of the initial movement is
still strong enough to influence the
prices which continue to drop some-
what at the wholesale and to q great
er degree in the retail shops. Retail
ers are cutting figures on all kinds Of
provisions and today it was predict
ed that Saturday marketers would find
themselves able to replentsh their
larders at from ten to twenty per cent
less cost than week ago.
The wholesale price Of beef has
dropped in Brooklyn cent and half
from the ''"h prices asked early last
week and owing to the boycott, the
retail meat business has fallen of at
least twenty-five per cent. Large re-
tail markets noted secline of from
twenty to twenty-five per cent in
sales.
In Manhattan the agitation is less
general and business remains more
nearly normal. Nevertheless numer-
GUS declines are noted. Butter to-
day is from four to six cents pound
cheaper than last week. Eggs in soma
cases are four cents dozen cheaper.
Lamb chops, ork chops and other
retail cuts have all declined frac-
tionally.
An interesting comparison between
current prices and those of nearly
hundred years ago was unearthsi
today from the old ledger of a gener-
al merchant for the years 1917. 1918
and 1919. In those days eggs sold
regularly for cent apiece, with t
slight appreciation in prices for the
winter months. Chickens were eight
cents a pound. dressed, as against
thirty cents here now. Veal brought
five cents pound.

the abstract of assessment of real es-
tate has been disposed of the abstract
of assessment ia taken up for per-
sonal property and under this we have
forty-nine separate classifications.
Counties Represented.
"A great many Of the counties in
the state are represented at the meet
ing of the state board by the county
auditor, an assessor. or a county COM
missioner. who is well acquainted
with the condition in the county he
represents. 1t is the object of this
representative to furnish the state
board with any information relative
to assessment of property in his coun-
ty. The information furnished the
board by these representatives is of
great value to the board, and with
out the information which they can
give the work Of the state board would
not be SO easy to dispose of.
'The assessment of railway proper
ty and the apportionment of the valu-
alton to the counties according to
mileage is one of the difficult prob
lens of the board. The law requires
that railway property shall be as
sessed separately on the following
items: roadway. roadbed, franchise,
rails and rolling stock. The valua-
tion for these items per mile will be
different for branch line than for
main line. The side tracks of a rail-
way company are not assessed ac-
cording to the items as mentioned,
but is assessed at so much per mile.
1t Is difficult to decide what the valu-
alton Of railway property shall be and
usually several DAYS is given uD to
hearing the arguments of the attor-
neys and tax commissioners who ap-
pear before the hoard relative to the
assessment of their respective lines.

One Of Jenries' closest friends declared
yesterday that the fight with Johnson
would surely take place in san Francisco

Salt Lake City and Nevada, and had
made up his mind long ago that Cali

The boilermaker had some experience
in Nevada when he helped 10 train Cor
belt TO fight Fitzsimmons at Carson City.
and ever since ne has favored California,
where he won battles with Corbett, Fitz-
simmons, and others.
Furthermore, Jenries wants 70 fight
Johnson where he is sure Of a big crowd,
for he does not care to run the risk OF
losing the winners share OF the purse
by default caused by a lack of gate
money. The big fellow knows that
Frisco can provide a crowd. Jefs
friend stated that the boilermaker no-i-
fed Promoter Gleason last November
that he would not agree TO meet johnson
outside Of California. no matter what
might be the inducement.
