TAX COMMISSION BUSY
Boosts Wooster Electric Plant Nearly
1000 Per Cent.

Columbus, o., Aug 5.-Onlce and
mercantile buildings that supply
themselves with power and sell
surplus to surrounding customers are
being listed by the state tax commits
sion as public utilities, and are ap-
praised on that basis.
The latest example is the Schofeld
building in Cleveland. Heretofore 1t
has never been appraised except as
so much real estate, but the state
tax commission put 1t on for $4,000
as a pubic lighting and power con-
cern, for the reason that II sells cur
rent to surrounding patrons.
The commission gave out tentative
figures fer y additional lighting and
power plants throughout the state.
The biggest increase in valuation
was made in connection with the
Wooster Electric company. which the
commission raised from $S.777 10
$4,000, practically 1000 per cent.

Morgan.
New York, Aug. 5.-The United
States Steel corporation, the steel
trust, must produce its cost sheets
for the benefit Of the congressional
probers.
That was decided at an executive
session of the Stanley congressional
Investigation committee following the
statement by Charles NJ. schwab.
head of the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany, that the committee coald have
his sheets and he saw no reason why
any company should want them kept
secret. tttt
Schwab told of the formation OF
the trust and insisted that the pres
ent tariff on steel was not too high.
In the fall OF 1899 Schwab said he
had discussed the advisabillty of the
formation OF some sort of steel or
ganization. At that time he was
given a dinner at the University club
by steel manufacturers. he being
president Of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany
Some 20 or so big flnanciers. Mr..
Morgan. NJ. Hartman and others
were present" he said. II pointed
out the advantage of a central organ
ization, first because of economy in
manufacture; second, because OF
economy in distribution.

change ccst sheets and | recommend
ed at the recent Brussels conference
that all independent manufacturers
in this country do the same thing"
What" interrupted Chairman Stan
ley. "would you recommend that each
concern lay bare the very detail OF
its cost 70 it's business rivals? Could
they do .hat?"
They not only could do il. but
they do do H." answered Schwap.
Morgan asked me IL could get
price from Carnegie to put his prop
critics into the. combination" said
Schwab. "A week later | told Car
negle that, in view of his age and
his desire to devote his Ike to philan-
thropic work, he ought to leave the
steel business. He finally agreed to
sell. ! took his price TO Moraan and
that ended my connection with the
affair.
Throughout the negotiations laid
stress to Morgan that any consolda-
tlon which was founded on the false
basis OF restricting output or main,
tanning prices was bound TO fail"

Mr. Underwood Democratic leader

Mr.. Underwood had dihiculty in
getting even 20 per cent duty on raw
wool In the house, while Mr. LaFol-
lette did not find II easy TO bring all
the lnsurgent Republicans down to

the possibility Of getting the bill
