VALUATION OF
RAILROADS MAY
GO UP AGAIN
Packard Claims that Valua-
tons Should be Boosted
90 Percent.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 15.-Rail-
road properties in North Dakota are
experiencing an abnormal increase in
value as q result of the activities Of
Chairman Frank q. Packard Of the
state tax commission. Last week
Chairman Packard advised the state
board of equalization that the assessed
valuation of North Dakota railways
was too low by fifteen per cent. The
board boosted the valuation to the ex-
tent suggested and invited the rail-
ways to come In August 20 and talk 1t
over. Yesterday Chairman Packard
came in with a new idea which is thar
the assessed valuation Of railways on
"a basis of earnings and with the earn
Iings and assessed valuation Of North
Dakota farm, lands as a criterion
should be 40 p cent higher. 4.
The difference in the assessed valua-
ton Of important railway properties
between the totals fixed by the state
board Of equalization In 51916 and the
values which Chairman Packard now
asks the board to adopt r as follows:
1915 1917
q. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 500 1913
N. p. ......:. 1~B,182,997 ~25,449,4S8

td1A1AoIS ...s 1ooSAo4 O40,i1f
G. & N....... 125,98e 151,186
Changes, are made in a number of
smaller properties, the totals being,
for 1915, $~51,340,543; recommended
by Chairman Packard for 1917, $73,-
S49,487. Fz
The state board; Of equalization is
prepared to consider Chairman Pack
ards latest recommendations, but
members are beginning to wonder
where some of the states enterprises
will get off If the practice of arriving
at assessed valuations by capitalizing
the net earnings. is adopted. Many
farmers elevator companies in the
state last year showed a net earning
Of 100 per cent on their capital stock,
which would boost the assessed valua-
ton of a $4,000 elevator to about
$4,000, If the Packard plan Of as
sessing we're adhered to. A net earn
ing Of $4,000 per n for a farm
ers' elevator company capitalized a,
$4,000 TO $4,000 is by no means .ex-
ceptional.
Some light may be thrown on this
matter ext Wednesday, when the
railways. operating in the state have
their day. In the meantime the state
board will devote its attention to coun.
ty auditors, who are to appear before
the board and explain their assessed
valuation Thursday, Friday and Sat.
urday.

Belief that the war with Germany is
likely to last for three or four years
yet is held by the majority Of people
along the Atlantic coast, according to

SEEKS TO HELP
CIVIL employees

Noa w. Aluli, chairman Of the civil
service commission, has no intention
of dropping his proposition Of aiding
deserving members Of the civil service
by lending them money, but is still
working on the plan and will call an
other special meeting shortly to dis
cuss the matter with the other mem
bers Of the commission and interested
persons.
At the meeting held several weeks
ago when Aluli presented the plan to
the commission and Sheriff C. H.
Rose and Fire Chief c. H. Thurston
the idea was coldly received. This,
however, has not dampened his ardor
and he still intends to see 1t through.
"of course the money would not be
lent unfortunately, but only when

CITY EXPENSES
JUMP $4,000

An interesting comparison Of what
it cost to run the city out of the gen
eral fund two years ago aad now is
given in figures obtained FROM the
ely and county auditor today.
Turing the first six months of 1915
the average monthly pay rolls and
expenses amounted to s53 500, while
during the first six months OF 1917
1t amounted to $67,25O. or an Increase
OF $3.50 in two years. For year
this increase is $165.000.
A part of the appropriations out OF
the general fund o. the city and Cuun-
ty is set by the legislature, a-d in
clude the pay Of the mayor, super.
visors, county clerk and other coun.
ty elective officers, deputy sheriffs,
district magistrates anu employees of
the circuit and police courts. Previous
to the 1915 legislature these appro-
priations amounted to $3.50 month.
The 1915 legislature raised the total
to 1896 and the 1917 legislature to
$7055, or more than 1oublo in two
years. The increases occurred prin.
orally in the police and circuit courts

j. 5. TAKESOVER
TWO All. BOATS

News that the Americana Hawaiian
freighters Dakotan and Montanan
have been Communicated by the gov
eminent for use in carrying cargoes
Of munitions and supplies for the
American troops in France reached
Honolulu today, and was confirmed
by General Agent c. P. Morse of the
steamship lines local office.
Both steamers were taken over by
the government while they were in
New York. The Dakotan is reported
to have been ready to sail for South
American ports with a general cargo,
when the government took her over,
ordering the steamship company to
unload her cargo and put in back on
the wharf. Both freighters were in
the South American trade, and Morse
says they have now gone to French
ports in the service Of the United
States. The two freighters are of
5000 tons each, and have both called
here before, although not in the last
year or more.
Whether this means similar action
may soon be taken by the government
as regards the Matson fleet is a mat
ter of conjecture today. e. D. Ten
ney, president Of Castle & Cooke, the
local agency, received another letter
this morning from Captain Matson, but
it threw no further light on the sit
uation. The captain still thinks the
Maui and Matsonia will be comman-
deered. but has no idea when.

Sunday the Matson liner Wflehl-
nina, on which Mr.. Kennedy was a
passenger, passed the Doris, coming
within 200 feet of her. so that the
Inter-Island president and Captain
Crabbe Of the Doris held a converse
ton, both talking from the decks Of
the two vessels. =.
Captain Crabbe Will not be perma-
nent captain Of the Doris, but he and
his crew will take the ex-German
steamer Gouverneur Jaeschke to Sar
Francisco when she is ready to leave,
probably next Tuesday or Wednesday
The Doris new master will be Capt,

Declaring that he had accomplished

to do, J. A. Kennedy, president OF
the Inter-Island Navigation company,
and Hawaii representative OF the ma
tional shipping commission, returned
70 Honolulu this morning. Due to his
connection with the shippins commits
sion the inter-island president did not
feel tree to discuss in detail the OBJ
1ect of his trip to Washington, but ad-
mitted that he had made satistac'
tory arrangements for the future to
assure the shipment Of coal here for
the use of the inter-island fleet.
; He was reluctant also to talk OF
the call TO Washington of George
Rolph, manager of the Californta-Ha

rector, although admitting he was ia
miIiar with its purpose. The state

President Kennedy was just as ad-
verse to announce the cost OF the
new inter-island steamer Doris, con-
filming himself TO the comment that
II cost $500 900 more than 1t should
have. He said he expected the new

to prepare for a military expedition
which would carry into India from
the United States to overthrow Brit
ish rule there
The object of the enterprise, it is
alleged, was to incite mutiny and
armed rebellion in India; to destroy
the government and to hinder and
obstruct military operations and TO
assist Germany in the war.
1t was agreed. the indictment says,
to secure men in the United States,
give them military training and
to furnish them with arms, ammuni.
ton and supplies, the greater portion
Of the money being supplied by the
German government in carrying out
the plans.
The conspirators themselves, it is
said in the bill, agreed to go to India
and to send from the United States
seditious literature intended to incitc
rebellion. The purchase OF ships with
German money to transport ammuni
ton was also a part of the scheme.
While the Hindus were striving
for the freedom Of their land, Ger.
many was urging the conspiracy to
draw men from the theater Of the
war and force England to maintain
larger armed forces in India, 1t is al
legged.
On August 20 Ram Chandra, Bhag,

the United States marshal in San

Chand were sent from San Francisco
to Los Angeles to meet the German
agents there. Haramba Lal Gupta,

J. Clyde HiZar, the government al.
leges, is connected with the plot in
having J. H. Kinder charter the An.

A telegram sent by Joseph L. Bley
of San Francisco to Capt. H. C. Nell
son of the Maverick Just prior to its
sailing en- route to Batavia loaded
with ammunition for the rebellion, the
allegation says, shows his part in the
case.
