ASSESSORS NOW
AT PIE COUNTER
Ask Council That Their Salaries
Be Increased to $4,000 a
Year

The assessors are now clamoring at
the salary pie-counter. In support or
their communication TO the council
asking that their salaries be increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, they have
prepared data showing the great IN
crease of work that has ben heaped
upon the three-man board as a result
OF the city's rapid growth. In 1904 the
assessed valuation OF the city was
$277,9S2.370. The 1914 assessed val
uation Is s525,S56,500, an increase OF
$247,S74,l30 in 10 years. Since 1906
DelrGy, Fairview. Springwells and por-
tons OF Greenfield and Hamtramck
have been annexed. Is square miles
beng added 10 the area OF the city.
"The board OF assessors stands to-
day the same as IL was In the begin
ming with three men doing the work"
said Assessor John Kohler. "Other
department heads have been granted
salary increases. The civil service
commissioners told now much work
they have to do. and now he would
like an opportunity TO tell how much
work we do and what long hours we
have to work, winter and summer. We
think we are entitled 10 salary In
crease and that is why we are frank
In asking for IL"
Last spring the assessors were more
modest in their request for salary
boosts. Then they told the aldermen
that $4,000 was the proper salary to
pay an assessor. Now they have
boosted the ante. Assessor Kohler
says the reason Is not the increased
cost Of living, but rather the spirit
OF the times. Under the recently
adopted charter amendment the coun'
Gil has granted salary increases to
several OF the department heads, max.

DEPL0RES LACK OF JEWS
IN HIGH u. S. OFFICES
Their Abilities Are More Recognized
in Other Countries, Says
Mr. Peyser.

Deploring the obscurity of the Jew in
politics in the United States. Julius l.
Peyser, Washington attorney, delivered
an address last night before the Collie
sfate Club on Judah P Benjamin: His
EVentful Life The Collegiate Club is
an organization composed of students
from various colleges throughout the
country, and Mr.. Peyser's address was
delivered at the home of the club, 1891
18th street northwest.
Mr.. Peyser said, in part:
1t Is strange and peculiar fact to
note that the intellect of the Jews has
never received the same recognition in
this country as has been given by Great
Britain and continental Europe with the
exception of Russia. England has given
honor to Benjamin Dsrael and Lord Bea-
contield and today she honors Sir Rufus
Isaacs as chief justice.
Switzerland. one of the smallest re-
publics in the world. consisting of people
with complex thoughts. has elected to the
highest office a Jew, President Hoffman
and an Italian prime minister. Luigi
LuZZatt. Jew. was recently elected to
the Academy of Science in Paris.
1t has been much lamented recently by
the Jewish press that there are no Jews
in the United States Senate, no Jews as
SoNSiiioi VI LetleIidll SbNcF D1 any
OF the states, and not a Jewish member
of the Presidents cabinet.
With the exception of Oscar Straus
former Secretary of Commerce and -abor
in President Roosevelts administration
the Jews in the United States have been
scantily considered. as far as political Of
fees are concerned
An article in the American Israelite of
Cincinnati states that the reason Mr.
Morgenthau, now ambassador to Turkey
was not appointed a member of the Presi-
dents cabinet was because his name was
being considered by women whose hus-
bands We're to comprise the cabinet and
theE protested against a Jewess being a
cabinet lady. 1t has been said that the
protest was strong enough to change the
purpose Of the administration, and Mr.
Morgenthau went to the Turkish empire
