TAFT APPROVES
DISMISSAL OF ADLER

Washington February 14.-President
Taft has approved the action of the
West Point authorities who recon-
mended the dismissal of Cadet Elmer
e. Adler from the Military Academy
for getting married. Cadet Adler was
a second class man and eloped last

tion on the part of the railway com
pany that the state tax commission had
assessed its property at more than 90
per cent of its fair value.
The state then attacked the consti=
tutionality of the section which pro-
vided for a SO per cent assessment,
maintaining that the section in ques-
ton was in conflict with the consti-
tuition and that property should be as
sessed at 100 per cent of its value.
The lower court decided against the
state and an appeal was taken to the
supreme court. Governor O'Neal au-
thorized the employment of special
counsel to represent the state in the
case and vigorous effort was made
to have the so per cent clause de-
clared invalid.
The question has been a live one in
official circles for the past few months
and has been the subject of consider
able discussion and speculation.
