ASSESSMENT BILLS AMENDED

forts to kill the equalization Of assess
ment bills by delay and unable to de-.
feat them on a square-cut fight, the
opposition cabal in the Senate succeed.
ed in getting into the bills amend.
ments which in effect mean their
death.
Desertion of four Senators who
have heretofore stood out for assess.
ment reform accomplished the trick.
These Senators were in favor Of both
the Roberts rural and the Manion ur-
ban assessment bills as a whole, but
were induced to support the amend
ments on varioGs grounds. The argu-
ments ranged from harmony to "the
success OF the bills.
The Manion bill was amended to pro
vide as follows:
That it should not apply to cities
under 5000 except that cities Of from
1000 to 5000 might apply it by ordi'
nance of their governing authority.
That It should not apply to any city
unless the voters Of that city should
first have voted to come In under it,
provisions at a referendum election
called for the purpose. Signatures O
33 1-3 per cent of the registered voters
are necessary to call such an cleo
