COMPRESS PREPARES
FOR BUMPER CROP

With the expectation of handling
this year the largest crop of cotton
ever produced in Faulkner county, ad-
ditional platform storage room for
about 1,500 bales is being provided by
the Conway Compress Co. at their
plant in the southern part of the city
Manager w. j. Murrell is getting ev-
erything in readiness at the compress
for the opening of the cotton season
and the plant will begin operations
within few weeks.
The destruction by fire of the Gulf
Compress Co.'S plant at Little Rock,
which has not been rebuilt, is expected
to cause the Conway compress to han
die some additional outside business
this year from points on the Iron
Mountain west of Conway, as it is be-
lieved the big crop will be too much
for the present compress facilities at
Little Rock to handle.

ASSESSMENTS OF
PUBLIC UTILITIES
VALUES AL MOST DOUBL ED
WAY is GIVEN A BIG
INCREASE.


sas Tax Commission, which was given
the exclusive power to assess the
property of the public utility corpora
tons, is busily engaged on the work
of making the assessments for the
year 1918. 1t is estimated that the
aggregate assessments of these cor
porations will be almost doubled over
| that of last year, and that the increas-
! ed revenue to be derived in taxes will
be about 100000.
The Little Rock Railway and Elec-
trict Company is assessed $1,800,0O0.
In 1908, when the commission entered
office, the company was. assessed at
$3.50, 900. In 1911 it was assessed at
S753,000, the Board of Equalization
raised it to 81 100000, and the county
court reduced it to S1,O62, 900. In
1912 it was assessed $1,042,000, the
board raised it to $2,0S2,00 and the
court reduced it to S1,174,000. Now,
in 1913, the only taxing authority
fixes the assessment at $1,800,000.
This assessment" said Commits
sioner D. a. Gates, I'VE consider Ill
tra-conservative"
The Arkansas Water Company last
year assessed at 100000, is this year
raised to S6S4.00O,
The Little Rock Fuel and Light
Company is assessed at $350,000, an
increase of about $4,000 over last
year.
The Darlng cross bridge. which is
owned by an independent corporation,
and leased to the Missouri Pacific at
an annual rental of $4,000, has been
assessed at about S108,000 in recent
years, but this year the assessment
has been advanced to $225,000.
The Cotton Belt railroad, assessed
in 1909 at about 100000, and last
year at $12,574,59 will this year pay
taxes on S14,087 900, being doubled in
four years
The property of the corporation
owning the street railway, gas distri-
button and electric light systems of
Fort Smith is assessed 81 100000, as
with an assessment of
$161 900 in 1909, and $1,05O,0OO last
year. The advances until this year
were secured by the tax commission
through the Board of Equalization.
The Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone Company property is as
sessed at S2,31O,O00. No ineligible
comparison can be made of this prop
erty since the company has greatly
increased it's holdings every year.
The Hot Springs company owning
the street railway, gas distribution,
waterworks and electric light systems,
is increased from $3.50 900 to 1885,
600.
The Texarkana street railway, cleo
trio light and gas distribution plants
are raised from about 100000 to
$170,450
The Pine Bluff waterworks, electric
light, and street railway are assessed
$41S,796.
The Helena electric light and gas
company is raised from $50, 1000 to
$175,000..
The franchise tax, which is a tax
commission measure, will yield this
year about $175,000, as compared with
an old tax that did not exceed $64 900.
This is distinct from the property tax

CROP CONDITIONS.

or course, it may a little early to
talk about crop conditions, but The
Tribune has been in receipt Of several
letters recently in which there is d
strain of optimism that is hard to get
rid Of. e.. '.a .
Everyone seems to have idea that
conditions during the winter have
been just right for the starting or
the crop this spring. There is only
one drawback mentioned in any. OF
the letters and that is the fact that
there has been only a small amount
of blowing done and the crop in some
instances may be late in getting into
the ground.
The late snow this spring seems to
have been considered a good thing
for the crops and the fact that the
frost is down so deep IS surely a good
thing for the start and if there is only
a normal amount of rainfall during
the growing season there is no ques-
ton but that the state will have an
other good crop this all.

to tsee that the city is getting the best
deal possible?
The statement of taxes given in the
address to voters on it's last page,
gives sundry items about certain peo-
pie whose taxes have been Increased
the past. few years. Perhaps they
were not taxed enough in the first
place., and then again it is Just as
easy to find people on the tax list
whose taxes have been Lowered in the
past few years, pooE pafm4s' taxes at
that No@matterho3 cad Jul ! Eoard

creep in discrepancies in the values.
The Board only has a few days to go
over the thousands OF items on the
list and any man who thinks the job
is a picnic, let him try it once.v
Mr.. Lucas has always been d public
spirited citizen. He has always been
a liberal donor in, time and money to
any object for the betterment of the
city. He has lived amongst, IS for
many years. He is proud of his rec
ord and is willing to stand on it as
a man and as a citizen. Don't blame
all the mistakes of the Board of City
Commissioners onto him. He has done
we'll. He is not a newcomer in vi
midst. We ally know him and we
know tina tshe Will do the best that is
in him for Bismarck. we don't know
his chief opponent for the Office very
well. He may be all right, but there
is no way in which to prove it. He
has not done anything especially to
warrant his receiving Bismarck's
chiefest gift from the hands of it's
citizens. We have not a word to say
against him as a man, but we do have
many words to say for Mr.. Lucas.
Vote for A. W. Lucas for President.
AS to Mr.. Batty, just remember that
he occupies the same position with
the same company as did Mr.. Geier-
man. That ought to be some recon.
mendation for him.
1t was q cute political trick on the
part of the authors of the Saturday
night lodged tonget it out so late that
there would scarcely be time to reply
to 1t. 1t is full of untruths and half
truths, and as we stated before, none
OF the facts are really very damaging
to anyone but it is filled with innuen-
dos and differences which make it look
much worse than it is.
Vote for Lucas, Bat4y and Bertsch
and you will vote right.

REGISTERING FARM NAMES.

There seems to be an idea prevail
ent among some that the law which
passed the last session of the leg!s-
lature and was signed by the governor
providing for the registration OF farm
names requires that the registration
be made with the secretary of state,
but that is a mistaken impression.
The register of deeds in each coun-
ty is the proper official before whom
the matter should be presested.
There are a good many farm own
ers who have taken advantage of the
law and there will be more as soon as
the provisions of the bill are more
generally known. The idea of having
a same for the farm seems to be a
good one, whether there is any finan-
cial benefit or not. It would seem
that it would %engender a spirit OF
pride in the members Of the family
living on the farm and that they
would take more interest in the work
and life OF the farm. OF course, where
one makes a specially of any particu-
lar line of farm work, dairy, fancy
stock, or anything else, the name and
especially one that is registered is of
inestimable value.
There should not be a duplication
Of names in the same county, or at
least not by owners of farms who re-
ceive their mail at the same p~ostofice,
and there is no need of it. There
plenty of appropriate names for a
farm home, in many instances the To-
cation proving an inspiration for the
selection of a name and in others the
peculiar line Of business conducted,
while in some cases there are family

n CITY ELECTION.

The election OF a. w. Lucas as
president of the city commission to-
day will mean that Bismarck is to
have a good business administration
for the time Mr.. Lucas serves.
During the entire campaign there
has not been a statement made thar
would 20 to prove that Mr.. Lucas was
not in every way capable and the
Tribune believes that the citizens Will
make no mistake in naming him to
heaAithc City commission. f,
Z I~tdi8iGtossible there. are others who
could dd';is we'll but II" taking Nj.
Lucas we are getting a man who mas
been tried and found to ne capable,
honest and conscientious. Mr.. Lucas
has announced his platform and all
the things he stands for are things
that are needed in the city.
Bismarck is in a position just at
the present time where the most care
full administration of the affairs OF the
city is needed and we need successful
business men at the head Of affairs.
The Tribune. also lbelives that re.
Battey and Ghristfh Bertsch will be
good men to nanetas-members Of the
city commission. They with the mem-
hers who will hold oyer assure the
city of Bismarck Of a commission that
will do things that will be for the

Railroads Viii Appeal.

The board of railroad commission

the Great Northern and 500 lines with
a notice Of appeal from the commits
sion's recent order to- those compa-
MES to either establish physical con-
nections between the two lines J at
points where the roads intersect on
the 500 wheat line" or institute a
freight rate equal to the short haul
rate. The notice of appeal sets up
that the law under which the commits
sion has acted in
asmuch as IT. ffaepEifes; the appellants

uncertain that it would be impossible
to comply with the same, The, case
will be heard before the district court
Of Ward county, April 8, at! which

Of Kenmare for the institution by the
commission of the snort haul rate on
he Great Northern for shipments Of
ignite coal to points on Great North
2rn branches which could more cheap
~ be reached via the wheat line" if
yves at intersecting points were in
stalled. At the hearing which, follow
ed, last February, the Great Northern
resisted both the installation of wyes
and the institution of the short haul
rate on the ground that the law was
unconstitutional, but as the law was
plain, the commission made the order
which is now being contested in court.
The case is a very important one,
as it affects every railroad crossing
in the state where the installation OF
wyes or institution Of short haul rates
would make. easier the shipment OF
merchandise from one road to another
and thus greatly benefit shippers gen.
orally, SO naturally the outcome will
be awaited with interest.
