tax commission studiously avoided
raising the value of the property as
appraised in October above what il was
in May.
But. the idea OF assessing forty acres
of land ADJOINING property that is ac-
knowledged to contain 400. 900 tons

criminal discrimination. Why. the

The discovery Of the work OF the

ATTACKS T. R. AND TAFT

Washington, July 1.-Senator
Works, of California, today made
an attack upon both President
Taft and ex-President Roosevelt
from the floor of the senate this
afternoon.
Works, who is Republican, de-
nounced the Chicago convention,
and declared that Taft had secur-
ed the denomination by fraudu-
lent and illegal means.
Il cannot support the president,
he said.
Works also said he did not
favor a new party, and praised the
work of William Jennings Bryan
at Baltimore, saying it was in the
interest of "civic righteousness"

then that if a new union were
formed in Chicago under the aus
pices of the international, he,
Straube, would see to it that a
new international were formed,
the chief feature of which would
be the absence of James J. Freel
as an officer.
Straube then made,a trip across
the entire country, visiting local
unions, telling them the true sit
uation in Chicago, and getting
their support.
This action has so frightened
Freel that he has made no at
tempt to carry out his czar-like
order for the formation of a new
union; nor is Freel likely to do so.

The locked out and striking

as delegate to the stereotypers'
convention, there to carry his

ternational president of the
union, to the floor of the conven-
ton.
Freel had revoked the charter
of the local union, because it had
refused to work alongside Scab

conference with the trust publish

Freel defeated Straube with his
own vote as presiding officer. He

PROPOSED BUDGET
FOR RECREATION
Richmond's Work Compared
With That in Other Cities,
Especially in South.

The Fairgrounds Committee makes
the following statement:
The proposal for extending the re-
creation work IN Richmond calls for
an appropriation OF $500 for next
year. The question which is being
discussed by those who are interested
in the movement in the city is whether
this is the right sum for the extension
proposed
While the sum il larger than ever
before suggested for supervision. car
taking. equipment and supplies, II Is
not large in comparison with the
amount OF work to be done. II Is eN-
.ceted that under the system OF super
vision proposed from five 20 eight
times as much work will be done
counting hours the grounds are open
and months OF the year used-as under
the arrangement hitherto. This means
a per capita saving Of at least one
half in the cost OF recreation fur-
Iished.
