BOARD OF REVENUE IS STILL UNDECIDED ONDOCKET|NG CASES All Day Sessions Held Yes terday Discussing Proper
 Course to Take MOTION IS ASKED
 TO GIVE OPINION Rogers Reads Lengthy Legal Opinion Supporting His Attitude Against
 Docketing the Cases at
 This Time

Capt J. Y. Aliens s25,0Oo,ooo Jefferson county tax assessment increases still hang fire before the Jefferson county board of revenue.
 In spite of the statements by the mem bers of the board that they would come to an agreement shortly after converting yesterday morning, after two long ses- sions in hot. stuffy rooms in the basement of the county courthouse. 1t was an- nounced that after repeated balloting 1t was apparent no agreement could he reached yesterday and adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock this morning.
 Without doubt we will come to some kind of an agreement tomorrow morn ing" said Cleon B. Rogers. member of the board last night.
 We will come to some agreement in the morning or 'bustr ironically stated J. E. Haigler, another member.
 Other members of the board agreed in stating that some decision would he reached this morning and the cases would either be docketed or refused and turned back on MT. Allen, back tax commission CT of the county.
 Begin Early in Day Consideration of the tax assessment in- creases began about 10;30 o'clock yester- day morning At 10 o'clock the board went into executive session in considera- ton of some matters relative to a new bridge for one of the county roads. This lasted about half an hour and the mem bers then filed out into the open court room and the debate on the tax in- creases began.
 MT. Rogers was the first speaker and addressed the board in support on his views, which have already been published and which are to the effect that the pres ent cases submitted by Mir. Allen should not be doeketed now because MT Allen has not covered the entire county, having filed about 25CO increases when there are approximately 20000 taxpayers in the county. and the present list of increases Is therefore not proportionate nor equita- ble. MT. Allen was not present. There were only, the five members of the board of revenue and a couple of newspaper men present when the session began.
 MT Rogers said: The back tax commissioner admits that he has not

Motion. Personally I would rather fight my cases out before the board of revenue. But 1t would probably be better for the larger number of the 250O taxpayers whose assessments have been raised for the matter to be taken up by the state tax commission. Of course any case that was appealed from either the board of revenue or from the state tax commission would then go before a Jefferson county jury and feel toward a body of that kind the same as I do toward the board of rev. enue. They both would be home men and l am satisfied that he would bs used fairly.
 State Tax Commission
 "If these cases are not docketed tho state tax commission will take them up. But the state tax commission has already beon here nearly three weeks and have not completed the hearings on their TT raises What could they do with 25O0 more? They would have to ignore by far the larger part of them and these would be the parties benefited by that move Jefferson is just a unit of tho many counties in tho state. It Is not right that the taxes should be raised here and not all over the state. We want 70 pay our fair valuation but first we want to know that it is fair.
 That is very good argument" stated both Mir. Going and Dr. Vines Mir Co., ing then asked if there was any further discussion. The members said that they had nothing further 10 add to the argu- ments and that they were ready to vote. They retired Into executive session about 1i30 o'clock to ballot on the matter At 1:30 o'clock it was announced that they could not agree and would adjourn until 2:30 o'clock. The balloting was resumed at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon and about o'clock 1t was again announced that the members could not come to an agreement and adjournment was taken until ie o'clock this morning.
 The state tax commission was busy all day. Sessions were he'd In their rooms in the First National Bank building Sew eral cases were heard and all settled. it being stated that no appeals were taken during the day.
 At todaYs session of the state com mission the Birmingham Coal and Iron company and the Woodward Iron com pany cases will be considered. The Wood- ward Iron company is represented by Attorneys A. D and F. c. smith who are the attorneys for the Chamber of Commerce Tax Protesting committee.

their names. Judge Crow ordered more jurors summoned and 2 special subpoe- mas were issued Of this number only six showed up yesterday morning.
 still another list was drawn and six additional jurors summoned and secured in order to complete the panel.
 While in some instances the return of the sheriff showed that an intended juror had moved out of the county, in a great many instances the return of the sheriff showed that the subpoena had been prop erly served
 As to whether juror can Ignore a legal summons or not is up to the judge The law authorizes the issuance of at tachments for absent jurors. Judge Crow stated that this would be done in all cases where the returns showed service.

 It is the hope of the committee. how ever. that those who were addressed last Tuesday and who have not responded will talk 10 George B. Ward, treasurer, or t. me. over the telephone before 10 o'clock Thursday morning At the meeting of the committee, we will know just how much money we have. If any other funds are necessary we will organize ourseiy es into A flying squadron and go throughout the city.
 Tt has been estimated that to pay the band and pay for the decorations and make other preparations for the nomina- ton of Underwood 5000 will be necessary.

If the information which comes to the state fair commission is correct Pennsylvania is likely to acquire fame a producer of something else than milliona;res and political bosses. Its latest cuosity is a pacing bull.
 Honest, anyhow that's what the commission say; and the commission has been conducting an investigation. Its d real, live, animated bovine that can do a milo in less than three minutes

A bull in harness speeding around PhOenix's celebrated mile track will be a sight worth seeing.
 The bull investigation is one thing the commission took up at a meeting held at the secretary's office under the Phoenix National bank yesterday. Al so. there was some other business. It was decided that about $8,000 or $8,500 will be spent on extending the grand stand. constructing the subway, and in other Improvements.
 The grand stand will be extended to the sOSSth in accordance with the orig nal plans The extension will measure 50 feet and there will be another row of boxes.
