NINETEEN MILLS
IS VINITA'S LEVY
State Board of Equalization Springs
Surprise BY Making State Levy
Mills instead of 81 Mills.

The tax levy in Vinita for all pur-
poses this year will be nineteen mills,
according to County Clerk Nix. The
city, county and school leyies had
been previously announced and last
night the state board of equalization
wired the amount of the state levy.
Instead of fixing the state levy at
the highest legal rate, three and one
half or at three mills, as had been gen.
orally expected, the state board of
equalization after an all day session,
Monday, set the levy at only two mills.
At the two mill rate, the board esti-
mates, enough money will be raised TO
defray the current expenses of the
state government for the coming year
and provide for the public schools the
levy for the former purposes being
one and three-fourths mills with one
four of one mill for school purposes.
Absolutely no provision was made
in the levy for the deficit inherited
llOlu inc lOi hiSl SSaloI anu tiS pO"i VI
will recommend to the legislature that
the question of issuing funding bonds
to take care of this deficiency be left
to the people of the state for vote.
The deficiency is more than $2,000,000.
The legislature at its last session
made an appropriation of $2,537 SAG
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1912. 1t was estimated that 20 per
cent of the taxes would be delinquent,
making it necessary to add to that
amount $507 569 to the appropriation,
making total of $3,045,415. to be
provided for. Aside from direct tax
alton, however, the estimated revenues
of the state are $722,O67.27, leaving a
balance of $2,323, ,35S.S3 to be derived
from direct taxation.
The total property valuation of the
state is 1927 ,527, ,S93 and on this sum
the two mill levy will raise $2,655 055.-
I7S, of which one-eighth goes to the
school fund and the balance to the
ordinary current expenses of the state
government.
Out of the total amount raised, there
will be paid $741037, appropriated by
the legislature for the current expenses
of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911,
which was not paid and consequently
will come from this years revenues.
When the board met, Monday morn
| ing, a resolution was offered fixing the
levy for general purposes at one and
one-fourth mills. for school purposes
at one-fourth mill with an additional
mill to apply on the old deficit, making
three mills in all. After much dis
cussion the resolution was lost, and
the levy, as proposed by State Auditor
Meyer, was adopted

NOTES FROM LABOR UNIONS.

The fatal accident rate in the Min
nesota mines has steadily fallen from
7.25 for each one thousand men en-
ployed in 1906 to 405 for each one
thousand in 1910, in spite of the rapid
development of the industry and the
large importation of unskilled mine
labor into the state.
The Associated Iron Molders of Scot
land have increased their membership
to eight thousand and report an ar
rangement whereby piece workers Sc
cured an increase of 2 1-2 per cent in
piece wages, an dan increase of 25
cents weekly for all workers drawing
less than $500 per week.
The padrone system, against which
the United States immigration author
tiles and various philantropic and re-
form bodies have contended for many
years, prevails among the Greek boot
blacks of Detroit, according to the
findings of a young Greek investiga-
tor employed by the state labor COM
missioner
Tenant farmers in the state of
Texas, who, according to statistics, till
about 80 per cent Of the soil, have
caught the organizing spirit of the
times and have begun the formation
of renters union, which will hold a
state convention at Waco, Tex, next
month All land renters and farm lab
|orers are invited to join.
The organization of the Brotherhood
of Timber Workers in western Louis
lana and eastern Texas, to remedy
evils which have grower up in that
work, mainly the company store and
the "check" system of payment, has
been met by the Southern Sawmill
Operators Association by shutting
down twenty-four of the largest plants
and discharge of all men and the
statement that other mills will be clos
ed as fast as organizers get busy with
the men. The men claim that the
system employed by the mill owners
is reducing them to a condition of
peonage, and that now is as good a
time as any to bring about change
of conditions

KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.
]. A. Rickart. Correspondent.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct q
The cattle market turned out better
last week than it looked from the
viewpoint of last Monday, for the rea-
son that receipts dropped down sharp
ly after Tuesday, thus enabling sales
men to completely regain the slight
loss of Monday before the end of the
week. This week is starting out ex-
actly like last week, a heavy run all
around, $4,000 here, including $500
calves, market steady to 10 lower.
Dealers have been expecting a bigger
run of cattle tina nhas appeared, and
reports from the grazingf sections in
dicate that the cattle are pretty we'll
run out, at least no great big number
remains. August showed big short
age at all points from last year same
month, and September figures are even
more impressive, sixty thousand cat
tie short here from September last
year At Chicago so far this season
10000 rangers have been received,
| the smallest number in ten years for
the period to date, and $4,000 less than
| last year. Yet prices do not advance,
which proves two things, slack out
let for the beef, and great caution on
the part of country buyers. Both of
these conditions might change for the
better any time, they are not apt to
get any worse. The upper 20 per cent
of the cattle in all classes are selling
fully steady today the balance weak
to 10 lower Prime beef steers are
worth up to $500, short fed steers
S5.75 to 1925, native grass steers
1926 to $500, western grass beef
steers $3.50 to S5.75, Old Mexicos
$3.50 to $40. quarantine steers $3.50
to $3.50, native and western grass
cows $500 to $4S5. veal calves $3.50
to $7,75, which is % to Is cents lower
than a week ago. Stock steers bring
$3.75 to $5.35, feeders $425 to $500.
Hogs lost 90 to 25 cents last week
/ Uul tUGY CIOSbu the week Win Il SuS~
picion of strength Pigs made an ac-
tual gain of 25 cents for the week,
but they still sell at ruinous rates,
s4OO to $500. Supply today is $500
head, rather light for Monday market
strong to 5 higher, top $3.50 bulk
1925 and $645. These prices are
$3.50 lower than a year ago, and about
so cents higher than lowest point
reached this spring. Cholera in the
country continues to drive in world
of light stuff. Average weight of hogs
in Chicago last week was so lbs lighter
than a year ago same week The diff
ference here was less, standing at 20
