GRAYsoN TAXES
Personal Property Books Again show
Low Valuations.


Low Valuations.
III spite of all that has been printed
and argued about Grayson county
which makes such ridiculously low re-
turns of property for taxation that its
hgures are held up to scorn all over
the United States, shows no signs OF
Improvement this year. The property
books have been received a. the Audi
tors office. and a glance at the sum-
mary prepared BY Clerk Parr shows
the usual state OF affairs. The utmost
efforts have failed to induce the com
missioners of the revenue to assess
certain classes of property or TO put
anything more than the merest frac-
t!onal value on that which they do
assess.
For instance. capitation taxes TO
the number OF 1858 are returned for
this year. These are made pretty
fully, since the men of Grayson like
to vote. Only l2i Of these are colored
men. The personal property vaIua-
lions show that the entire county of
Grayson will pay to the State this
year only sl.l39.26. or about 81 cents
ior each voter In other words. the
entire belongings OF the average men
In Grayson. including the rich with
the poor, do not reach 500 In value.
The increase of State tax over last
year is only $3.50.

BE THE BIGGEST YET
Two Authorized by Bill That Passes
House May Have 10000 Tons
Displacement.

Washington, Feb. 22.--The naval
appropriation bill~passed the house to-
day. 1t proyides for two battIeships
as well as several smaller vessels.
The two battleshIps are to be the
largest ever constructed in this coun-
try, and, while the authorization fixes
the displacement of super-dread
at $4,000 tons, there is prob
ability they may go up to 10000 tons.
The new battleships will have II
14-inch rifles, the heaviest battery
ever placed on a ship in this country
or in the world. These guns will be
arranged in four turrets. This ar
is new. Russia is building
such a ship, however, and Japan has
ordered a battleship cruiser carrying
a similar battery.

Washington. Feb. 22.-That the pro

they can TO obtain one was indicated
today at q meeting for the purpose of

at least four votes in this session and
the popular election measure will be

NORRIS MAKES
STRONG DEFENSE
Secretary of Newspaper Pub
fishers Assn. Upholds Pulp
and Paper Clause
OF THE RECIPROCITY ACT
Shows That Newspapers Have Been
Held Up by Manufacturers
Under Present Tariff.

Washington, Feb. 2z.-The pulp and
paper clause OF the Canadian agree
ment was defended before the senate
finance committee today by Chairman
Publishers association committee. He
elaborated the argument which he
presented in the same behalf before
the ways and means committee of
the house, declaring ne spoke for the
daily newspapers which pay $55 5,000,-
600 per annum for their print paper :
s6,00O,O 900 more they would pay if nor
nal conditions were permitted"
MADE MANY POINTS.
He dwelt especially upon the in
crease of $3.50 a ton in the price of
print paper by the papermakers since
the enactment of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, Notwithstanding a reduction of
S2.25 a ton in duty; the increase OF
price from S32 TO $45 per ton since
80 mills were merged as the Interna-
tional Paper company; the alleged ef-
fort of papermakers to "starve the
market" and increase prices: the
complete dependence upon Canada for
pulp wood to keep American paper
mills going; the ability of the Ameri-
can mills make paper cheaper than
can the Canadian; the failure of bull
doing methods to obtain pulp wood
from Canada.
Norris submitted an extensive ar
ray of exhibits in support of his argu-
ments

left would have received the unani-
nous party vote. Lorimer said that
instead of being his candidate Shurt-
left was hopkins candidate and was
chosen by Hopkins friends. Lorimer
dwelt upon the case of Lee O'Neil

no influence in making him minority

Speaking of Deneen's candidacy Lor-
inner said if the l. Deneen voters had

Lorimer said the day before his
election an effort was made to agree
upon a candidate for whom sll fac
tions could unite; that he urged De
neen to be that candidate, and under
stood him TO consent. but later one Of
the governors friends notified him

10 elect"
CAME AS SURPRISE.
Many other names were then sug.
gested. continued Lorimer. At this
juncture his own name was mentioned.
Influential men were consulted, among
them the editor of the Chicago Record
Herald. 1t was this editor, Lorimer
declared. who observed that Lorimer
was the one republican in Illinois who
could afford to be elevated to the SEN
ate with the aid of democratic votes;
this on the ground that Lorimer had
lived in a democratic community and
had been elected to congress repeated
ly through the assistance of democrats
THE SIMPLE TRUTH.
THAT is a true statement of facts
said Lorimer, "a true history of the
senatorial election in Illinois. Does It
show that months before the election.
l was conjuring upon scheme for
the election of a henchman as speaker
and through the powers of the office
to foist myself upon this
body?"
He insisted men often before were
elected by the votes of the opposite
party, and upon this he seemed to
justify the vote he received.
