TAX Commissioner
RAISES VALUATION
GoOdsOn Increases Property
in Conecuh Approx
mately $1,50O,OOO

Evergreen, July 24.-(Special 81. b.
Goodson, as tax commissioner of CO.
necuh county. has raised the valuation
of property in this county to the
amount of approximately one and half
million dollars. There Is great com
plant at the action Of Mr. Goodson, and
nearly all the people who are affected
are earnestly protesting against the
raises; but the tax commissioner says
he Is amply justified in what he has
done, and will stand by his raise.
There is said by those who are most
seriously affected that there are am
pie fundsznow in the treasury to meet
all the obligations. and the raise was
arbitrary and unjust. Property hold
ers have been cited to meet Saturday,
the second day of August. to pass upon
the question.
1t is certainly not popular move;
but Mr.. Goodson, in reply to that, says
that he is not seeking popularity, and
that his whole purpose Is to equalize
the burdens borne by the different own
ers of property.

ATTERbURY GIVES
RAILROAD CASE
Pennsylvania Method Is
to Pay Employees for
Fair Days Work

New York, July 24.--w. W. After
bury. vice president of the Pennsyl,
vania railroad. was the principal wit.
ness today before the committee which
will pass upon demands of the locono-
tive engineers on all eastern roads for
| increased pay His testimony present
ed the whole case of the railroads Sc
clearly that he held the boards close
attention for the three hours he was
on the stand.
Mr.. Atterbury said the Pennsyl-
vania's methods of arriving at a basis
of pay for Its employees has been "a
for a fair days work" Te produced
a tab'e showing the hours worked and
miles made.
To grant the demands now made by
the engineers would, the witness said,
add to the operating expense of the
road the sum of $911,5S0 a year, and
If proportionate increases are made in
the pay of all other employees the cost
would be s11.s7s ess, which he de-
clared would wipe out the surplus of
the Pennsylvania railroad in one year.
Mr.. Atterbury said the engineers had
been given an advance of 10 per cent
in wages In 1902, a 10 per cent in
crease In 1906, certain adjustments In
1907, flat per cent increase in 1910
and later in the same year an adjust
ment OF wages following the New York
Central arbitration case.
I'VE did that" said Mr.. Atterbury,
mot because we thought our men had
earned an increase, but because we
have taken the position that we want
ed our men as we'll paid as those OF
our competitors"
Mr.. Atterbury then took up several
phases of the question of steam en-
gines. taking up the work on the cleo
trio motors. in which he said demands
of the men could hardly be met.
Mr.. Atterbury said that while it is
the practice to take care of employees
when railroad is purchased, he would
not consider that there is any moral
or legal obligation to do so.
The hearing will be resumed tomor-
row.
Steam engineers can qualify for cleo
trical service in three days time, de-
clared operating officials today
This was In direct contradiction to
testimony offered for the engineers.
