MERIDIAN PLEASED
WITH TAX SHOWING
Valuation Increases Nearly
Two Million in the
Past Year

Meridian, Miss. November 13.-(Special }
Since the announcement made yesterday
that the city tax valuation had increased
nearly 100000 during the past year. the
demand for the adoption OF the Somers
system of equalization is not so great
and the people are disposed to give the
new city government a chance to make
good in this respect without paying a
foreign corporation to come here and tell
the people what their own property is
worth.
mission form of government and the plan
adopted has not been haphazard one.
The city tax assessor, e. B. McRaven,
is man of the highest honor and is
thoroughly familiar with the value of ev-
cry piece of property In the city. When
there was to be an increase of maybe 100
per cent in the valuation of any mans
property, he was called in and shown
that the assessment was an equitable one
and that adjoining property had been
raised in the same proportion, there was
no kick and the owned went away sat-
isfied.
Mr.. McRaven, after completing his as
sessment, called to his aid the members
of the city council and each and every
piece of property assessed was consid-
cred separately and the value placed ac-
cording to the actual knowledge of the
members of the council, and In this way
an actual average was obtained as a
basis for the levy. The people are very
much pleased with the showing made.

New York, November 1s-Gen j.
Santos Zelaya, former, President of Mic

he said, he had many in this city. He
reiterated that he had experienced no

Schedules Anpulled

New Orleans, November 13.-Two pas
senger and three freight trains of the
Southern Pacific, scheduled to start from
New Orleans tonight, were annulled be-
cause of the strike of train and engine-
men called tonight at o'clock. An eff
fort will be made to run a passenger train
which is supposed to leave here at ,
o. clock Friday morning.
Judging from reports received by union
officers at Algiers. Just across the Missis-
sippi river from New Orleans, the strike
order was obeyed by nearly every man
on the New Orleans-Lafayette division
of the road. Tonight traffic seems para
lyzed. 1t is reported that every engine
and trainman at the Algiers terminus
quit work. The shops will be operated
by non-unon men, who have been work
ing in place of striking shop men for sew
eral months. At the Lafayette terminus
1t is reported that the order was generally
obeyed.
Trains Out on Lines
A rule of the trainmens and engine
mems union is that trains shall be run
to terminal stations whenever a strike is
called. Some trains are out on the line
OF the New Orleans-Lafayette division,
but 1t is believed the men win quit when
they complete their runs. One feright
train was left between Algiers and Gret-
ma, La tonight. but as the distance be-
tween the two towns is only two and a
half miles, and all of 1t practically rail-
way yards, this Is not viewed as breaking
the rules.
No strike breakers were in evidence at
Algiers early tonight, although it is re-
ported some are the way there. AS
Southern Pacific engines are oil burners,
strikers say the company will have diff
Guilty in finding men capable of operating
them.

largest producer OF sugar in Louisiana,
late tonight telegraphed President Will
