MAYOR QUIGLEY TRYING TO RUN THE ASSESSORS Shouts and Pounds His Desk at Conference With
 Two of Them.

Mayor George A. Quigley had mem bers of the board of assessors ion the carpet" in his office in the city building yesterday afternoon, the con- ference being punctuated by his hon. or banging his fist on his, desk and talking in loud tones that could be heard on West Main street. It is known that Mayor Quigley has been dissatisfied with the system in vogue in the assessors office for some time and he is said to favor a system that would make for better equalization of property values. His honor is believed to have been laying down the law to the assessors as he spoke in tones that he usually em- ployes when in a fiery mood
 What right Mayor Quigley has to interfere with the work of the asses- sors is not clear. He has no author ity under any charter provision to say what the assessors shall or shall not do but as he does not hold GUS tom sacred when it interferes with his plans it :s not thought that this will deter him from taking hold and try ing to run the board of assessors.
 Chairman August Burckhardt was asked this morning regarding the, cons ference and he replied that he and J. J. Watson talked over various matters With the mayor. He said Aaron Dam ielson was not present as he could not be located.
 The assessors have started out on their trips of inspection and are de- voting much of their attention to new buildings.

But what this Commission on Industrial
Relations could expect to accomplish, beyond
collecting their own salaries, is hard to see.
The whole country knows that it IS Wall
Street control of the Trusts that has given
The Trusts the advantage they now enjoy,
and nothing but legislation and enforcement
Of law Will change conditions.
These twenty story ofice-buiIding bankers
and promoters are not going to voluntarily
change system that robs the entire country
for their benefit, and Congress knows every
thing that the Industrial Commission may
make in any report.
These few men of wealth who own the big
industries are not going to ask q repeal Of the
tariff that shuts out all competition with
them-they are not going to surrender their
controlling interest in the railroads and other
transportation facilities Of the country, and
they are not going to dissolve their Money
Trust created by this Administration for
their special benefit.
A cart load Of Industrial Commission re-
ports will not amount to Thinkers DAM so
long as our laws remain what they are.
Hon Tom Hedin, of Alabama, is feeling
highly elated these days and believes that cot
ton will yet go to 20 cents per pound-if we
will only follow the simple rule of diversi-
flying our crops
From every section comes the report that
we are doing just what Mr.. Hefin thinks will
bring us the 20 cent cotton, SO if his prophecy
fails to come true it will not be the farmers
fault.
Diversifcation has been preached to us so
much lately that the farmer dreams Of it in
his sleep, and it is threatening to become such
a habit that the farmer may extend it little
further than agricultural crops.
We may get in such habit Of diversifying
cotton, corn, wheat and oats that we may try
it on some politicians to see how it works
4 little Investigation in the crop of Con
gressmen might produce Rural Credits crop
out of the same ground that has produced the
Money Trust, the increase in freight rates,
and the present tariff, under which the cost
Of living was to be SO greatly reduced.
In an interview given in Boston, Senator
Lodge charges the Administration with In
tending to buy the German ships now informed
in our ports and in this way materially aid
Germany in her fight against the Allies.
AS Mr.. Lodge points out:
ITO buy the German ships informed in these
ports and relieve their owners from the heavy
daily expense in caring for them and to hand
over for them $30000,0O0 to $4O,00OO0O be-
longing to the American people would be
great and direct assistance to one Of the bel
lgerents in the war now raging"
These German ships are now tied up in our
harbors (most Of them in New York; and
they are afraid to leave because they would
be captured by English and French war YES
sells outside Of the three mile limit
In their present condition they are a heavy
burden to their owners, because the owners
must keep crew on board to look after the
ship, although the ships cannot do thing to
bring in any return for the millions of dollars

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY y. ID. WATSON


CHAIRAIAN UNDERWOOD Of the House
- Ways and Means Committee, has refused
the request of Secretary McAdoo to have his
committee recommend legislation eliminating
the ten days clause in the Income Tax law, be-
cause it might create an obstacle which would
neceesltate an extra session of Congress-
In other Words Mr.. Underwood, the House
Leader, frankly tells the Secretary of the
Treasury that there will be no extra session
Of Congress, and that any legislation he de-
sires will have to wait until next December.
Contrast Mr.. Underwood's frankness with
Senator Hoze Smiths deception.
Tor months the Senator has been making
the people at home believe that he was moving
Heaven and earth to get Rural Credits bill
through-snce early last Fall he has been
telling Georgia farmers that bill providing
for everything they needed was fast being
perfecte&he is even now throwing dust in
their eyes by sending out statements from
Washington THAI an extra session of Congress
will be held to enact Rural Credits legislation.
This Administration does not intend to give
us any Rural Credits system, and all talk
about an extra session for that purpose is pure
buncomb
President Wilson has said we don't need it,
and he does not intend for us to have it,
The only fight that has been made for Ru-
raj Credits at this session has been made by
Republicans.

on strike, doing SO in quiet and law abiding
manner.
On the morning of the 10Th the men heard
that strike-breakers were to be brought in to
take their places, and they congregated at the
railroad station to persuade the incoming
strize-breakers to either return to their homes,
or join the ranks of the strikers.
This meeting of the strikers at the railway
station was quiet and orderly-there was no
loud talking, no drunkenness, no signs of even
drinking, not the sign of a pistol Or gun
among the strikers, and not threat being
made
Suddenly the gates of the Williams & Clark
Co. were seen to fly open and a gang Of fifty
thugs. under the guise Of deputy sheriffs,
rushed upon the gathering Of men at the rail
way station and began to shoot them down
like so many dogs
The strikers made no attempt to defend
themselves, but ran, while the thugs gave
chase and followed them into nearby swamps
and places of cover, continuing to shoot them
down SO long as there was a man in reach of
their guns.
J. w. Crane, Street Cleaning Commissioner
of Roosevelt, tells of one instance where he

These thugs were imported New York gun
men, imported over into New Jersey by the
fertilizer people to shoot down fifty unarmed

such lawlessness- they knew full we'll that
responsible officers of the law would not mo-

men!
s.
In testifying before the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations, Roger W.
Babson, we'll known statistician and econo-
mist, lays all of the trouble between labor
and capital to what he calls absent ownership
the control of the industries of the country
by bankers and capitalists who reside in New
York and whose only interest in the different
industries throughout the country is divi-
dends
Mr.. Babson states that so per cent Of owner
ship of our large industries is in the hands
Of these bankers and promoters who roost in
offices in twenty story buildings bordering
Wall Street. and that it is through this con
troll that such troubles as those in Massachu-
sets not long since arose.
According to Mr.. Babsons way of reason
ing the meeting Of stockholders Of our in
dustries, instead of being held at the factory
or plant where the owners and laborers would
come In some contact, are held In these New
York offices where nothing of conditions in
the factories are known, and that the manage
ment of them is guided entirely by the amount
Of dividends, and the quickness with which
the dividends come.
"Wall Street is interested in just one thing
dividends, and dividends as quickly as pos
sible," says Mr.. Babson, and "as long as divi-
dends come the office-building men let the
management alone. and as rule it makes lit
tie difference whether they come by fair means
or foul. But when dividends don't come
the office building men get busy on something
that will bring them. But they never think of
change so that labor may be paid more"
Mr.. Babson was corroborated by Hon.
Saml Untermyer, counsel for the Pujo Com
mittee that investigated the Money Trust,
and Mr.. Untermyer went more into detail,
showing that at present 100000 miles of the
railroads of the United States was under the
control of two groups of New York Bankers
the Kuhn-Loeb crowd and the Morgan
crowd-and that 16, 1000 more miles would soon
come under the same control

A Tainted Blood Puzzle

The Board of School Commissioners
of this county are considering knotty
nrohlem and somewhat novel PROPOSE
tion which has arisen in connection
with the refusal of the trustees of the
Aouasco district school to admit to the
classes Joseph Jerome Gardiner. son OF
Robert Gardiner, of Aquasco, upon the
ground that the young mans blood
is tainted.
Acting upon the orders of the -trus-
tees of the school, Miss Helen brlscoe.
the teacher, declined to admit young
Gardner, who is years old, and his
father petitioned the County School
commissioners to pass an order re
scinding the trustees edict. The petit
ton was filed January Is of this year,
and Tuesday of last week the School
Commissioners heard several witnesses
for and against the granting of the Pc
t;tion. It was in evidence that the
Gardiner boy had been admitted to the
white school at Woodville, and that no
question of his eligibility on account
of color had been raised. The testi-
mony covered Is typewriter pages,
and as soon as the Commissioners can
read and digest the material decision
will be rendered.
