Speaking at several California

particularly on his charge OF Demo

has found this a popular theme
with his audience. Preparedness,
too. they declare, is also a subject
OF deep interest on the Pacific coast,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-The
question OF strike or no strike to-
day was in the hands OF the big
barons' Of the railway world. A
limited number OF the heads OF the
country's biggest systems had taken
charge OF the situation over night.
Their answer. It appeared, was TO
be the final answer TO President VIII
sons proposal and personal appeal
for prevention OF the most paralyz-
ing transportation tie.up in the his.
tory OF the nation. They were TO
meet. one way or the other, the
presidents declaration that the
country's industrial future rested in
their hands.
II developed today that the inside
committee OF big railroad heads who
met most OF last night In the Metro
politan club were getting in direct
touch as fast as possible today with
their important directors.
President Wilson held himself In
readiness to meet them as soon a.
they were ready, and II was said he
had indIcated he has no plan 10 pre-
sent other than that on which he
has steadily insisted

lars OF. these men labored with
th~r problem until an early hour

opinion prevails that a peaceful ad-
tustment OF the threatened com
merce crisis would be effected
The roads are dying hard. how

declared today. unless they can
trade with the president and gain
come "offsetting advantages" some
adequate compensation" for accept
ing what they regard as "a revolu.
tionary change" in the eighthour
day.
But the very fact that many OF
the small road chiefs. as well as a
number OF the foremost railroad
executives, have reached the stage
where they are willing to talk
trades" indicates the president has
stirred mp what he termed the inn
mobile opposition OF the railroad
powers.
II is known that the p e. O and
the Southern railway executives are
ready 20 make concessions, and
President Hale Holden. OF the Bur

On the other hand. this morning
the New York Central and Pcnnsyl.
vania were holding out strongly
against yielding the point OF arbitra-
tIon. 4 majority or tho great sys-
tens appeared TO be with them.
Throughout the night telegrams
kept pouring into the headquarters
OF the executives and managers
appeals from merchants and manu-.
featuring organizations in all parts
OF the country, asking the railway
chiefs to stand pat on arbitration
Editorial clippings from metropolis
tan dailies, supporting the stand OF
the railroads. were sent 20 the
Metropolitan club for guidance OF
the chiefs there.

ASSESSOR VENNIGERHOLZ HAS
COLLECTED UPWARDS OF $500
OF OLD Personal PROPERTY
Rapid Progress Being Made in Real
Rolls for 1916-Farmers Union
Inspects

Assessor ]. G.. Vennigerholz is ma
king excellent progress in collecting
delinquent personal property taxes
which have stood on the books since
1901, and heretofore practically con-
sidered uncollectable by the county
and since January % has collected
upwards of the sum of $500. The
work of Mr.. Vennigerholz in this re-
spect is meeting with general COM
mendation among the taxpayers and
officials of Latah county.
The work of making the 1916 gen
eral assessment is now well in pro-
gress with but two men in the field
and Mr. Vennigerholz stated today that
the entire county would be system
atically assessed in plenty of time and
according to the requirements of the
state law.
Friday during the convention of the
farmers union in Moscow special
committee from the union visited the
assessors office to learn under what
plan assessments were being made III
the county Assessor Vennigerholz
explained his plan and it is under
stood that the committee reported its
approval of the plan as now carried
out. Mr.. Vennigerholz is determined
to assess all real property in Latah
county according to the merits OF the
property regardless of individuals and
as a result it is expected that the
county will have the present year one
of the most thorough assessment rolls
in it's history
According to the books of the as
SCISSORS office motorists of Latah
county are slow in applying for state
license. Up to the present date the
sum of $500 has been collected from
motor vehicle owners, dealers, and
chauffeurs. 1t is expected that so
soon as the roads improve that there
will be a rush of applicants for lie
enses. Last year the total number OF
applications amounted to 450 and AS
SCISSOR Vennigerholz is of the opinion
that the applications this year will be
100 more Motorists are not permit
ted to run cars without first procur-
ing licenses. Contrary to former GUS
tom, the number of each license grant
ed in the county is sent to the asses
sor so that his office may keep a
proper check on the owners.

CHORAL SOCIETY
NOW ORGANIZED
D. C. LIVINGSTON ELECTED HEAD
OF THE SOCIETY AT LAST
NIGHTS MEETING
Charter Roll Will Remain Open to
Public for a Brief Period
Already 33 Jein

| The Community Choral Society met
last night in the high school and
elected officers for the ensuing year,
which will end in October. In addi-
ton to the business meeting a very
successful rehearsal was held under
the direction of E. H. Storer. The
attendance was SO large that the
music room in the high school was
crowded to it's capacity and rehearsals
in future will have to be held in the
auditorium. All present were most
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
society, and with such support its
success is we'll assured.
The next meeting will be held on
Tuesday, March 21, in the high-school
auditorium at 1880 D. m. and this will
be the last chance to enroll as char
ter member There are already 50
signatures as charter members of the
organization.
The initiation fee is fifty cents and
the annual dues the same, the money
being required for the purchase OF
music, room rent, etc. The object or
the society is to promote the musical
interests of the whole community and
there is no limit to the membership,
it being open to all, the only require
ments being the ability to carry
tune and the expenditure of the requis-
ite fees.
This society gives an opportunity for
all lovers of music to meet, become
acquainted and take part in the sing
ing. There are many who possess
singing voices but comparatively few
who own and play musical instru-
ments. 1t has been seen what MOS
COW can do in the musical line with
it's city band and with the present en-
thusiasm displayed in the formation
of the choral society there seems no
reason why the city cannot also have
a chorus of which it will be equally

Mr.. E. H. Storer, who is well known
to all and whose excellent work with
the university glee club has received
statewide recognition, has offered his
services free to the society, and TINS
still further insures success
At the meeting last night the follow
inc officers were elected: d. c. Liv-
ingston president; DR.. l. R. Boyd,
vice president; Miss Annie Morse. sec
retary; j. G.. Eldridge, treasurer; and
Miss Martha Kendrick, librarian. The
