DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING.

On Friday evening Senator Perry
Mitchell, Democratic candidate for
congress, and Frank L. Moore, candi-
date for the U, s., Senate, spoke at
the Isis. Mr.. Mitchell is not much
of a speaker and spent much of his
time telling his audience that he was
not going to talk long.
Mr.. Moore's voice was not in con-

vigorously into powers that be. and

Section 1892 defines the duties of

Section 17O6 defines the duties Of
the State Board of Equalization.
"Sec. 1905. The State Board shall
equalize the valuation of property
throughout the state as follows.
by classes as shown by the alb
stracts transmitted from the various
counties, county by county; in such
equalization said board shall have
power to increase the total valuation
of any class of property in the county
as shown by the abstracts from that
county when, in the opinion of the
board, the valuation of that class, ap-
pearing in said abstract, is not just
and equal as compared with the valu-
alton of other classes of property in
that county, or in other counties, be-
cause of it's being less than the valu-

power to decrease the valuation of
any class of property, when, in the
opinion of the board. the valuation of
that class of property, appearing in
the abstract is not just and equal, as

ties, because of it's being in excess of
the true valuation as determined by
such comparison.
Second the State Board shall
have power to add to, or deduct from
the aggregate valuation, as shown by
such abstracts, of all property in any
county, such percentage of such ag-
gregate valuation as may be neces-
sary in the opinion of the board, to
establish uniformity and equality of !

Namara dynamiting plot in the iron
workers strike against employment

jury within thirty-six hours or pos

the law, as to what testimony shall

jurors then will retire to deliverate
as to the testimony of the men, who,
headed by Frank NJ. Ryan, president
of the Information Association of
Bridge. and Structural Iron Workers,
We're brought here from cities scat
tered from Boston to Los Angeles, to
figure as defendants in what is said
to be the most important trial of it's
kind ever held in federal court.
The jury, to he asked to return a
separate verdict for each defeneant,
is CON posed of farmers or merchants
from rural districts of Indiana.
The fact that the jurors must vote
on each defendent after considering
the testimony, the court holds ap-
plicable to him, is the basis for a
belief that the jury will be unable to
return verdict in a day.
There are twenty-six counts
against each defendant. twenty-five
of which provide marimum penalty
of eighteen years in the penitentiary
and one of which provides a maxi
mum penalty of two years.
The government contends that the
penalty for the offenses charged are
cumulative, in the discretion of the
court or a total possible penalty Of
