JOB HUNTERS
MAKE MAYORS
LIFE MISERABLE
Marx Fairly Iiounded in Office
and Home, and Even
on Street
APPLICANTS FRIENDS
AID IN IMPORTANTLY
Secretary Already Has Desk
Filled With Letters From Men
Who Would Serve City

Political job hunters are making
Mayor Marks life q burden. For al
most "a hours In the day the mayor
is bounded by persons wanting peu-
tions for themselves or their friends.
They call on the mayor at his home
yen Mt. Elliott-ave., al all hours OF the
day and night; they keep the bell OF
his private telephone constantly jing
ling; they lounge around his once In
the city hall; they hold him up on
the street.
1t requires all the tact and patience
that Marx and his secretary, Edward
Fitzgerald, can muster to deal with
the job situation. None of present
city office-holders is anxious to quit,
consequently q thousand wires are
being pulled and they all lead TO the
mayors office.
Commissioner Croul, Commissioner
Haarer, Commissioner Hurlbut and
Iother important ofice-holders would
like to hold over under MARKS ad-
ministration. The mayor has II i'm
portant appointments to make There
are several candidates for each posi-
ton and every candidate has a small
army OF friends pulling wires for him.
The mayor Is still struggling with
the police commissionership problem
His hrst campaign debt Is TO his cam
paign manager, John Gillespie. APP
parently Gillespie wants TO be police
commissioner. Strong pressure has
been brought to bear on the mayor
by prominent Detroiters TO have
Croul retained. This Is perhaps the
AL sAk ~ ~
mayor has to solve.
Then there Is Commissioner Haarer.
The board OF public works organiza-
ton put up a splendid fight for Marx
last fall. and the mayor has got to
thank somebody for the work done by
the boys. Jake" Haarer does not
want TO retire from the ONCE, which
means more trouble ahead for Marx.
Even Commissioner Hurlbut, OF
the parks and boulevards department,
whose term expires next June, has
hopes Of remaining on the job. The
commissioner and his friends are do
ing all they can to impress Marx
with Hurlbut's worth as q park com
missioner.
Controller David E. Heineman is
one Republican appointe in the city
hall who is not giving Marx any
trouble. Heineman was appointed by
Breitmeyer four years ago. The con
ltroller can hardly walt until his term
expires next July, when he will leave
the cares OF q city Job and enjoy a
long vacation on the other side OF the
ocean.
Mayor Marx IL also being pestered
by small Job hunters. Some OF the
worst pests are city hall Job holders
who want to "cinch" their places for
another two years. These men haunt
the mayors once daily, spending
more time peeking through the door
OF the mayors once than they do
over their work At every opportunity
they "button-hole" tie mayor.
Secretary Fitzgerald haO two big
drawers in his desk filed with let
tiers from job hunters. The mayor
has not even seen this batch OF let
ters as yet and II IL not likely that
he will bother himself over minor
appointments before he settles . few
OF the big ones.

that they were implicated in the Shoot
Ing. He testified that Nick Tomas, one
OF the defendants, asked the witness II
II would not be possible TO secure enough

WESTERN UNION IS

Cannot Escape Levied Tax,
Says Court, on Ground of
Alleged Excessiveness.

BOISE. Ida. April 1.-THE Western
Union Telegraph company lost its suit
In the federal court for the jurisdiction
Of Idaho against the state board Of
equalization for an injunction to prevent
the state from collecting the 19l1-1912
taxes assessed against its property. In
an opinion handed down today, Judge
Frank s, Dietrich ordered the suit dis
missed
The Western Union has served notice
1t VIII appeal from the decision to the
supreme court of the United States.
The county assessors of Idaho In 1911
assessed the property OF the Western
Union on It's full cash value. The COM
pany made q tender to the assessors of
the amount of taxes II believed repre-
sented fair assessment The assessors
refused the tender and the state board
Of equaliza ton upheld them. Because
the company refused TO pay its taxes, the
assessors threatened under the law to
confiscate It's property. To prevent this
the Western Union secured a temporary
injunction and brought suit to make the
injunction permanent. Governor Haw-
ley, the members of the state board Of
equalization and the assessors OF the
various counties were made defendants.
The suit has been pending for two years
and tied up thousands OF dollars In rev.
enue from use by the state The com
pany attacked the boards power In tho
matter OF assessment.
Judge Dietrich holds it is idle to specu~
late on the powers OF the board, for the
legislature gives 1t the absolute right TO
assess and euualize taxes of either pri-
vate individuals or corporations.
