Regardless of the fact that the val

million dollars, the state tax commls-
sivn was required to increase the tax
levy to meet expenses of the state ad-
ministration. Property valuations,

istration, the levy remained at l.
mills. once or twice during that time,
there was a slump in the property
valuations of the state. This year the
growth was the greatest ever reported
by the ssessors-$79, 527, 44S- Except
for the phenomenal boost IN property
valuations, a further increase IN the
state tax levy would have been neces-
sary.
Under the levy as made by the state
tax commission, the state will collect
in taxes a total of $3,6O5, 42S-
The big increase in valuations was
made bv the returns on personal prop
erty, which climbed from $525, 462, Us

the triumphant entrance of the Ger
man emperor, accompanied by his
consort.
With Warsaw captured, it is pre-
dicted here that the armies of the CEN
trail powers will then seek to force a
period of trench warfare in the east,
meanwhile throwing a great weight OF
men and guns to the west, with the
idea of resuming the battering to-
wards Calais !. and perhaps towards
Paris.
Lloyd-George Sounds Alarm.
In the west just now there has been
little worthy of note to break the
monotony of mining and bombing
from the North sea to the Swiss from
tier.
The British public is so little i'm
pressed with the events in the east,
that David Lloyd-George, the minis
ter of munitions, in a speech yester-
day, apparently thought it necessary
to drive home the gravity of the sit
uation in the minds of those inclined
to over-optimism, reminding them
that reverses in Russia would mean
increased pressure on the western al
lies. He summed up his opinion with
the admonition that the situation is
serious, if not perilouS.'

THREATEN REVOLT.


campaign chiefly characterized by
Islander and villification of the Repub-
Guiding Mr.. Capper. This time he was
elected governor by a decisive ma
jority.
"A blind man ought to be able to
read the true lesson of these two cleo
tons, namely, that Mr.. Capper was
defeated in 1912 because the Repub-
licans of the state had lost faith in
his party loyalty, and that he was
elected governor in 1914 because these
same Republicans decided to take him
at his word, and entrust the leader
ship of the party to him. 1t has been
we'll said that 1T is an implied ca
Iamity to be twice caught in the same
snare and L venture the opinion that
the Republicans of this state are not
in a mood to be deceived again IN
1916. The party courageously raced
defeat in the national election OF 1917,
rather than desert it's tried leader and
the Interchangeable principles of good
and sound government for which 1t
has always stood. 1t still has the
courage of its conviction.
Return of the Wanderers.
american politics never afforded
a more wholesome spectacle than the
return to the Republican party of the
masses who were deceived by the false
enthusiasm, amounting almost to
religious fervor' of the reactionary
Progressive propaganda. 1t remains
for a few 'unreconStructed' leaders
of that movement of which, am sorry
to say, the governor of our state
seems to be shining example, to
continue the mistaken and the
groundIess crusade against Republican
leaders and Republican measures.
1.-The editorial columns of the Cap
ital TEEN with attacks upon such loyal
and splendid leaders of the party as
Mr. Taft and Mr.. Root, ascrib1ng to
them unpatriotic motives and corrupt
intentions, charging that they are in
the control of the interests thus evil
IDENTIFY attempting to create popular
sentiment unfavoraDle to the most
loyal and wisest of Republican lead
ers in advance of the national con-
vention. One would expect such b1atil-
ering nonsense in the editorial column
of the Appeal to Reason, but for a
Republican to be daily confronted
with SUCH silly chatter in the editorial
columns of his party organ, certainly
exceeds the limit of good humored
liberation.
81 have no doubt that the next Re-
publican national convention Will
choose a loyal and sound Republican
for it's standard bearer in its campaign
in 1916. Moreover, it's candidate will
be elected, Notwithstanding the puerile
attempts of few nominal Republican
papers to discount such a nomination.

TODAY'S Market REPORT.

Chicago, July 0.-WHEAT-Heavy rains
in the southwest and prediction of show
ers in all sections tended today to lift the
wheat market here; some buying was also
brought about result of opinions that
late wheat was still in danger from black
rust Besides country offerings were
scarce, and. it was said, world shipments
would be light. After opening lie off to
1A6Ac up, quotations advanced to well
above last nights level all around, but
then underwent Il reaction.
Subsequently, assertions by a leading
EXPERT that a serious visitation of rust APP
peared now to be improbable and that the
spring crop was likely to exceed the big
fluence The effect. however. failed to last.
Prices closed firm, Ac to 3s@Ac above last
night.
CORN-Corn hardened with wheat. The
somewhat unsettled weather counted also
against the bears. Opening prices which
varied from the same as last night to Ac
higher, were followed by moderate gen.
eral upturn-
Price temporarily receded later when
wheat turned weak. The close was steady
unchanged, to 1Ac higher.
OATS-Oats merely reflected the firm
ness of other grain. Fluctuations were mar

The father talked rather freely
and asserted that his daughter is
of the charge. He de-
clared that her character would
show that she was not capable of
committing the crime with which
she is charged.
He made the plea that as it was
a young girl the authorities ought
to be willing to acc ept $1,000 as
bond, which he said ne could make.
Magistrate LYDIA stated that though
he felt sorry for the defendant and
her family he could not afford to
make such small bond. but that
he would take $4,000 as bail for, her
appearance to answer the black
mailing charge, That was the only
one upon which she was arrested.
The other two alleged participants
IN the conspiracy are charged with
arson in connection with the burn
ing about two weeks ago of Mr..
Lance's warehouse and contents,
entailing loss of approximately
$4,000.
According to the officers who
laid the trap along the Arden and
old Salem road, which resulted in

the very hour set for Mr.. Lance to
deposit the money in the road at a
