Interest -. IS IS
1929 so
The point that seems to hurt Mr..
Cleary is the statement, in The Her
AIDS article, that the county is
charged the amount named for the
reassessment of these towns. He
says 1.-THE tax is paid by the towns,
and the county is not in any way
interested or liable" Not in
terested, Ell? Well, the county may
be reasonably considered interested
when it pays this amount of money
for the work in question. Ultimate
ly, of course, it is paid by the towns,
because they pay it to the county,
but the state collects it from the
county, and Mr.. Cleary's contention
is merely a bubble and is beside the
question. For that matter, since
when did the taxpayers Of these
towns cease to be taxpayers of
Grant county?
Mr.. Cleary gives figures to show
that the assessed valuation in those
towns for 1914 is much greater than
that of last year. This has nothing
to do with the point that was raised
by The Herald-namely, the apparent
ly high price changed by the state
for the service rendered. Whether or
rot the towns were assessed too low
in 1913 was a question not under dis
cussion, but it may be subject OF
interest later. However, notwith
standing the reassessment made last
year at Mr.. Cleary's instigation, at
this big expense. the apportionment
was made and the state and county
taxes land no doubt those of the
towns) made and collected upon the
FORMER assessment, and to which
he objected.
Justwhat has been accomplished in
the way of good, by that reassessment
seems rather vague, unless it was to
influence and serve as a guidance for
higher assessment this year.
In The Herald's article, attention
was called to the charge of $159.51
by the state, directly against the
county as a unit, upon the matter of
an appeal to the state tax commits
sion from the report of the apportion
ment committee of the county board
of supervisors, made at their annual
session last November. In February
Mr.. Lyons of the tax commission
came from Madison to Lancaster, as
sembled the members of the board,
held a preliminary hearing, made a
speech on taxation matters, and re-
turned to Madison the next day. That's
the last the county board or the
people have heard about it, except
this charge of $159.51 that the
county is asked to pay.
The law provides that the tax COM
mission, WITHIN FOUR MONTHS
from the making up of the issues
upon the preliminary hearing, shall
make it's determination upon such ap-
peal and file a certificate thereof,
signed by the members or majority
of the members of such commission
in the office of the county clerk. No
such report has ever been filed nor
heard of. Perhaps the commission
has been too busy looking after
political affairs to complete the
"making up of the issues" but it
evidently has had time to render a
good sized bill for the same.

TBy Gable 10 The Tribune.


London, June 1o.-John e. Redmond In
n letter to the Irish press takes the mo-
mentous step of giving the full counte-
nance of the Nationalist party TO the
National Volunteer movement as coun-
terbIast to the Ulster Volunteer move

Ireland will be shortly enrolled adding :

volunteer movement was somewhat pre-
mature. but the effect Of Sir Edward Car

eminent, together with the occurrences az
the Curraxh camp and tho successful gun
running in Ulster materially altered the
position, and the Irish party took steps
about six weeks ago TO INFORM It's

ion 1t was desirable 20 support the volun-
teer movement. AS result, It has spread
within the last six weeks like prairie

will shortly be enrolled"
Thus there are two opposing bodies or
volunteers now arming and drilling In Ire
land first, the Ulster Volunteers, with
100, 900 men enrolled, Of whom $4,000 have
modern Mauser rifles and complete or
ganization for battle, while the others are

ITALIAN STRIKE

Mob Tries to March on Quirinal-
Fierce Fighting in Streets
-VOlleys Fired.

Rome. June s-The general strike pro-
claimed yesterday as a protest against the
repressive measures taken by the govern
ment in connection with demonstrations
at Ancona on Sunday when several men
were shot down is spreading rapidly. The
resentment of the workmen has been
famed by the killing OF another striker
at Florence to-day.
The government views the movement
with anxiety, as il is believed to be sup
ported not only by the Socialists but by
the Radical party. which is anxious 20
embarrass the Salandra Ministry. The
Premier was subjected to strong criticism
in the Chamber for prohibiting anti-nii-
tarist meetings on June Z. In reply he
said there had been no trouble except at
Ancona and that none regretted more
than he the loss OF life. He said that the
policemen who fired the fatal shots would
be prosecuted, but he pointed out that,
according to the report OF the official sent
to make an investigation, the police at
! the time Ol TIE snOOLlUS were
by rioters and fired only after several Of
them had been struck down by bricks.
In Rome tonight a thousand strikers
tried TO march to the Quirinal and came
into violent contact with the troops and
police, who fired nine voleys in the air
before the mob gave way. A large num-
Der of soldiers and strikers were injured.
The strikers attempted TO reform their
shattered ranks and another fierce en-
gagement with the police took place be
fore they were dispersed.
From many parts of Italy come reports
OF disorders.
No newspapers appeared here to-day ex-
cept the ''Popolo Romano, which was
printed by non unionjst workmen.

the railroad tracks for short distance
outside this city, but the Army Engineer
Corps quickly repaired the damage.
