FAIRNESS
FOR TROLLEY
SYSTEM

After the preliminary part of the
program for the state assessors con-
/ vention had been concluded, the in
stIuctive features were brought forth.
James Stafford, a specialist on val
uations, was to have read a paper,
but wrote Wiley NJ. Weaver that it
vas impossible to be present at the
session today, but would probably ar
rive this evening. 1t is very likely
hat Mr.. Stafford will address the
convention some time tomorrow
Taxation on Motor Vehicles in Call
ifornia" was the subject of a paper
read by w. V. Hill. The speaker took
g his text the relation of the jitney
hus to the electric lines of the state.
Throughout the paper it was evident
that Mr.. Hill had conjured remedial
/ legislation for the electric transit COM
ranies. This was not in the nature
of brief for the trolley corpora
tions, but rather a desire for fair
N.
"The jitney bus has evaded taxation
with the exception Of state motor We
kicle and municipal licenses. The street
railway is compelled to pave between
its tracks and portion of the street
on each side. The jitney bus uses
the paving as built by the railway
~ hr1t lN,tfn t.N
the original cost or to maintenance"
declared Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Hill bluntly asked the audience
if the street railway corporations
were receiving a square deal. Judging
from the applause granted the speak
{" it was evident that a miscue had
resulted somewhere.
"The legislature should provide an
equitable tax on the jitney business,
and if it don't it is problematical as
to how long the California electric
railways can weather the Storm" con-
cluded Mr.. Hill.
George G. Tunnel, tax and bond
expert in the employ of the Santa Fe
railroad, had written a paper on the
relation of the state to bond issues,
his being read by E. A. Decamp.
Mr.. TunnelPs paper was given out
last September at meeting held in
New Mexico and was considered so
pertinent that Mr.. Decamp produced
t here.
The paper deplored ruthless issuing
of bonds and hoped the day would
come when the state had jurisdiction
over all county, city and municipal
subdivision bond issues. He believed
that better prices would result were
the state to superintend preliminary
proceedisgs in bond issuance. Not ex-
octly guaranteeing the payment of in
terest, but rather lending the name
of the state as surety for intent
would produce a better market, was
one of the points in Mr.. Tunnell's
argument.

SAYS WILSON MAY
Be DIFFERENT NOW

Berlin, Nov. 15.-"With campaign
worries off his mind and his election
assured, President Wilson may
prove an altogether different presi-
dent and see an opportunity when the
moment arrives to help Europe obtain
peace" So declared Count Apponyi,
one of the most prominent Hungarian
leaders in the world, who argued be-
fore the war in peace arbitration.
"I'm sure of peace" he said. 81 90
not think peace will come next week,
or even in the next two months, but
the foundations for peace are now
be ing laid. l think that if President
Wilson is elected and no longer wor-
res over the campaign he may prove
to be a different president

R. R. MANAGERS AND
BROTHERHOOD TALK

New York, Nov. 15.-Managers
re presenting the greatest of the ma
tion's railway lines dug deeply again
into the Adamson eight-hour meas
une. Their purpose was not only to
get the intricacies cleared up, but
10 establish, if possible, the basis for
operation.
While only one case may be used
as test case all roads will be like
wise involved so the penalty clause
may not react against them.
All the Brotherhood managers had
quit New York, but indications point
&c to the willingness of the man.

SFAVfY'S TALK
IS EAGERLY
AWAITED

Tomorrow is expected to be the big
day on the program of the assessors
convention in session at the Barbara
Worth hotel.
In the morning Clyde L. Seavey
chairman of the state tax commits
sion, is to deliver an address, and it
is predicted that his talk will con-
SIT of extracts from the state tax
commissions report which is to be
handed to the state legislature.
The state tax commission has been
employed for many nInths in compil.
ing data to be used in framing new
legislation as regards budgets ano
taxes in the State of California. This
material has been gathered by eX
perts and hammered into shape by
Mr.. Seavey.
The commissions report, of course
has not yet been made public, and
the contents no doubt will prove high
" interesting in view of the fact that
future revenue bills in the state vii
likely be based on the recommends
tions of this commission.
Mr.. Seavey did not arrive in Ell Cen
tro this morning, but is expected to
reach here this evening or in the
morning. The following well known
men are members of that body: Clyde
T.. Seavey, Sacramento, chairman E
A. Dickson, Los Angeles; Hon. Lee c,
Gates, and w. V. Cowan, secretary

POLITICAL
EXODUS
BY w. w. Morrison


Never perhaps in the history of cot
ton affairs has the prospects of one
year so affected values in the pre-
ceding year, as the prospective devel-
opments in 1917 will affect prices
during the closing months of 1916.
So it seems we'll to take up study
Cf these developments as they re-
late to the coming year.
Prospective supply: 1t is practi-
cally certain that August 81, 1917,
will find the supply reduced as low
as the world will dare go. 1t will
take constant supply on hand around
100000 bales to prevent chaotic
condition in cotton affairs. The wee
vii did vast damage this year. Not
withstanding high prices there are
thousands of acres which would have
returned a greater profit if they had
been planted in other products. Fer
tilizers are very much higher, and it
fas been demonstrated that the lack
cf potash greatly reduces its value
as plant food.
For more than year there has
been a silent but steady movement

Frost Does Much Damage.
(By United Press.)

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Although
warmer weather, clear skies and a
much lighter frost are predicted for
tomorrow, there is grave concern to-
day regarding the effect of the morn
ing's killing frost on grapes, rice and
citrus fruits. Reports indicated that
vegetables throughout the state were
severely damaged. The coolest wealth
er experienced was at Paso Robles'
where the mercury dropped to 16.

C|NTY STARTS.
OFF With
RUSH

With President John Ginty of the
State Assessors Association in the
chair, the annual convention of the
assessors opened this morning at II
clock in the assembly room of the
barbara Worth hotel In the absence
f secretary Thomas Robinson of Oak
md, D. Lack, assessor of Shasta coun
ty, was acting secretary. Vice pres
dent M. M. Moulton of San Diego
county was also present.
The assessors are purely business
nen when in convention and the So
,.ial side is forgotten for the moment
The delegates are men Of mature
ears and wide experience. The study
If land values and taxation principles
as left lines in the face. Intelli-
,cnce and judgment are reflected and
.rivolities are sideUracked when the
r. portant features of the program are
on.
After the call to order by chair
man Ginty the rollcall by counties
was made. There was rivalry be-
tween Los Angeles and Alameda coun-
ties for honors in point of attendance,
the latter running the count up to
eight and being declared winner.
Rollcall of chief deputies and asso-
ciated members followed, the latter
being responded to by some of the
biggest men in the state. Some OF
.hese were physically big besides be-
rg mentally acceptable under the
ame terms, as witness John S. Cham
bers. controller of the state.
The minutes of the last convention
we're omitted for the time being.
In behalf of Imperial county and
he City of Ell Centric, A. L. Rich
nond, president of the Ell Centre
hamber of Commerce, welcomed the
.elegates. Mr.. Richmond's remark
were not stilted, but conveyed sin
cere note of hospitality. The wei
ccme was keenly appreciated by the
visitors and enthusiasm prevailed
when Mr.. Richmond requested anyone
to come to him for anything and i,
would be cheerfully given.
John Mitchell, member of the state
roard of equalization, was to have
responded to the welcome address, but
owing to some slight indisposition was
compelled to forego the pleasure.
Chairman Ginty, before taking ur
the regular program, gave a brief
talk 70 the assessors, reminding them
C events occurring during the past
two years and insisting upon better
organization of the assessors ascot
alton in order that greater benefits
could be realized. Mr.. Ginty urged
The passage of a bill in the legisla-
trre that would provide mileage ano
per diem for delegates in order that
purely business conventions might be
held at any time. He did not mini
mize the social results of the annua
meetings. but was of the opinion that
more frequent business sessions should

ASSESSORS CONVENTION is HERE TODAY
Convention Banquet at

to Tomorrow Evening

The pressing business at home of
many delegates to the assessors con-
vention here has necessitated the
changing of the date for the banquet
at the Barbara Worth hotel. Instead
of dining Friday evening the visitors
will be seated Thursday evening, this
change in the program having been
announced this morning by Secretary
Don Bitter of the local chamber of
commerce.
At the morning session of the con-

yention the management secured a
list of those who will be present. In
addition to the outsiders, there will
be many prominent local people.
Officials of the state tax commits
sion, state board of equalization, tax
agents Of large utility corporations
doing business in the state and au-
II critics on taxation and assessment
work will be there, and toasts will
undoubtedly bring forth many bits of
wisdom.
