REPUBLICANS ARE
SPLIT WIDE Open
After the Recent Speech of
Col. Roosevelt.
DOLLAR WITH STRING TO It
illustrates His Argument
He Stands for Nothing
Internationally.
CALEB POWERS N oUANDARY

Washington, Feb. 23.-No Ken
lucky Republicans and few Demo-
Gratis would consent to being inter-
viewed to-day on Colonel Roose-
velt's Columbus speech. Represen-
tatives John W. Langley and Caleb
Powers begged to be excused; SEN
ator Bradley said he would say
nothing until he had read the
speech in full.
Did YOU ever hear Of the old
trick of the silver dollar with a
hole in its middle and string tied
through it?" demanded Represen-
tative Harvey Helm. You reached
out for the money, and it was jerk
ed back, and you bruised your
hands. That's the Roosevelt speech
It's all false guarantees. He stands
for nothing Internationally. There's
string tied to everything he says
He's for the initiative and referen-
DUN --- under certain conditions.
He's for the recall-under some cir
cumstances. This is to catch the
West. The West knows about the
initiative, referendum and recall.
But the Colonel says something
else far more important, Monopo-
lies are here to stay, he said, and
he's for Government regulation Of
them. The West doesn't know
much about this, and passes it over
But Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Perkins
and Mr. Carnegie and Mr.. Gary
know all about it.. These are their
views, expressed before the Stanley
committee and elsewhere. The Col
onel, apparently making . radical
speech, gobbled in the West, but,
more important, he lined up Wall
street behind him."
Representative A. o. Stanley
said: THE speech splits the Re-
publican party wider open than
ever. if that is possible"
In declining to openly express
himself about the speech, Caleb
Powers betrayed nothing of the bat
tie raging within him. He is wrest-
ling with the problem of whether to
abandon his laisserfaire policy and
come out boldly for Taft or Roose-
welt in the Eleventh district. In
recent statement, he said that, while
he is for Taft, he will not take off
his coat. Powerful influences have
been at work on him, urging that
he do take off his coat for the Pres
ident He has been told that If he
remains passive, he is certain to be
defeated for denomination. while,
in making fight for Taft, he may
redeem himself

in HOTEL WITH
A YOUNG WOMAN
Police Arrest President
of Female College.
TRUSTEES DISMISS OFFICIAL
On Learning the FactS-He
Admits His Guilt and
Is Penitent.
HIS WIFE MAY STAND BY HIM

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 24.-Fallen
from the presidency OF a large fe-
male college to a cell in the police
station on the charge of improper
conduct-this is the panoramic
change in life that has been the fate
of w. F. Brown, OF Lagrange, Ca,
head of the Southern Female Col
lege, one of-~the oldest institutions
for girls in the South.
Before Judge Broyles this after
noon, President Brown pleaded gull
ty to the charge of taking Pauline
Reid, a pretty 19-year-old pupil of
the college, to an Atlanta hotel and
registering there with her as hus-
band and wife. Brown was heavily
fined on the charge of improper con-
duct and was bound over to the
States courts. The girl was released
with reprimand.
The college president and the
girl were arrested in room in the
hotel this morning. The girl was
returning to the college at La
grange from Chipley, Ga, where
she had been on short visit to her
parents, and President Brown met
her in Atlanta by previous engage
ment and took her to the hotel.
An Atlanta <|woman, who saw
Brown and the girl, suspected some
thing was wrong and notified the
police, who raided the room and
found the college president and the
girl in a room.
Taken to the police station, Pres
ident Brown admitted his guilt and
took the blame upon himself. He
says he was carried away by i'm
pulse and forgot his wife and three
children in Lagrange. He declared
he would go at once before the
board of trustees of the college and
resign the presidency.
But your wife," he was asked.
"Ah, my wife will stand by me
in this sad fall" ne answered. "She
will forgive when she knows how
penitent l am. A new start in life
will have to take now, but. thank
God, | have a faithful wife to keep
me straight. Guess I've risen too
fast. Well just start at the bottom
and rise again"
Pauline Reid, the girl in the
case, is a daughter of wealthy and
socially prominent family in West
ern Georgia.
Brown has been president of La
grange College for four years and
has been prominent in educational
and church matters. He is about
80 years old. Advices from La
grange tonight state the trustees
met and dismissed Brown. The
feeling there against Brown is bit
ter and it is said it will not be safe
for him to return.

MARY JAMES PIANO
(By Wago)

Mary Jane, little school girl, want
ed piano for three reasons: she was
fond of music; her playmates had a
piano, and Mary Jane often was teas
ed because she could not play note.
Mary James ma said her daughter
ought to have some musical education,
and Mary James pa agreed he posi-
bly, could spare $40 or SIS a month to
apply on payment of a piano.
Mary Jane liked the piano sold by a
merchant in her home town, AMI her
playmate's piano teacher said it was q
very good one. Mary James pa and
ma talked to the merchant about it.,
and he agreed to any terms they wish
ed to make. Pa and ma said. how
ever, they would let him know in a
day or two.
Mary Jane cried herself to sleep be-
cause they had not brought the piano
home that very day. To comfort her,
the fond parents promised they would
get it tomorrow
Mary Jane kissed her ma goodbye
as she started for school the next NOR
ming. At the door the little girl stop
ped and said: "Please, ma, tell pa to
get that piano today" Cali right,
dearie," was the reply.
Mary Jane came home and found no
piano. Why, ma, where is the pia-
ano?"
Nov, dearie, it surely will be here
in a few days. And, what a grand
one it will be! Much better than any
in town." Those were the somewhat
soothing words of the mother, who
added:

TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
BY REQUEST OF THE MINNESOTA TAX COMMISSION
CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION IS CORDIALLY INVITED

Any person feeling himself aggriev.
ed by an assessment so made agains.
him or any property owned by him
may appeal to the district court Of
the county in which such assessment
was made The procedure in an ap-
peal is very simple. The aggrieved
party files notice of such appeal
with the county auditor within 30
days after the making Of such assess
ment, specifying the grounds upon
which the appeal is made, and it at
once becomes effective. The appeal
is heard and determined by the dis
trict court in the same manner as
other tax matters are tried and de-
termined.
The compensation paid special as
SCISSORS and deputies is fixed by the
tax commission. The expense of
making reassessment is certified to
the state auditor and is paid out OF. the
state treasury in the first instance,
but in the end the district reassessed
pays the expenses. The state audi
tor notifies the county auditor of the
amount of such expense and the lat
ter levies a tax on all of the taxable
property of the district wherein such
reassessment was made, and when
collected, it is paid into the state
treasury.
The authority to cause reassess-
ments to be made is one of the most
important powers vested in the tax
commission. 1t permits the commits
sion, when any considerable amount
of property has been omitted from
the tax rolls in any district, or if as
sessed, it has been under-valued, to
correct the injustice by ordering re-
assessment of such district. While
or generalization may
be corrected by equalization, omitted
property can only be effectively
reached by reassessment

Equalization by Special Assessments

In the preceding article the author
ity vested in the tax commission, sit
ting as state board of equalization,
to raise or lower the assessed value
of real and personal property was full
ly explained In addition to these
powers, the commission may also
equalize assessments by causing a re-
assessment to be made of real and
personal property, or any class of per-
sonal property in any taxing district
of the state. Such reassessments may
be ordered on verified complaint Or
by the commission on it's own motion
and may include all or any of the
real or personal property in any dis
trict
When a reassessment. of district
is decided upon the tax commission
appoints a special assessor and such
deputies as may be necessary to
make such reassessment. The sp,
cial assessor and deputies need not
be residents of the district or county
wherein the reassessment is to be
made, but must be citizens of the
state.
The special assessor proceeds to
make a new assessment of the pro-
perty ordered reassessed, and when
completed, makes verified returns OF
the same to the tax commission. The
reassessment so returned is equalized
by the tax commission in order to
make it substantially conform with
like property in the same county, or
throughout the state. A verified
copy Of the reassessment is then
transmitted to the county auditor of
the county wherein such rerassess-
ment was made and becomes the Of
fetal assessment, superseding the Or
iginal assessment made by the regu-
lar assessor.

to find out what the trouble is"
| Mary Jane almost cried, but her pa
lrents intimated the teacher did not

amined the instrument minute, the
latter said:

cracked! Why, it's made Of cast iron,

To avoid remarks, the teacher pre-
pared to leave. Mary Jane pa said
the piano was worth $500, but the
J teacher said she would give five cents
for it and use the case for kindling
wood. Then Mary James ma became
angry and told Miss Teacher what the
agent had said, promised and guaran-
teed. The teacher departed.
