EQUALIZERS AT
WORK this WEEK
Few Complaints Made, But
Confusion Still Reigns
Among Taxpayers.

The municipal board of equaliza-
ton met this morning in the city hall
and will hold sessions for probably
more than a week. Mayor Dinnie APP
pointed the following committees for
1917:
Real estate and structures: Alder
men Kleven, Kelsey, ]. F. Smith.
Grifflths. Miscellaneous and personal
property: Aldermen Gillette. Peder-
motorcycles: Aldermen T. J. Smith,
Turner and Whitman. Special monies
and credits: Aldermen Pyes, Sanders,
Lockman.
Very few people have appeared be-
fore the board this year for the pur-
pose Of protesting against assessments
made by the city assessor. but. never
theless, many taxpayers do not seem
to understand the fact that individual
assessments are equalized by the city
board Of equalization. and that neither
tho city council nor the board Of
county commissioners has power or
authority to change or abate any in
dividual assessment. In further ex-
planning the procedure Of the board.
City Auditor W. H. Alexander said
this afternoon: 1.-THE city board Of
equalization is the only relief of the
taxpayers, and its task is to equalize
between individuals. The average
taxpayer is somewhat confused in re-
gard to the powers of the several
boards Of equalization. and while
many still think they may obtain re-
dress before the city council or the
board of county commissioners, it
ought to be made plain to every one
that such an idea Is utterly wrong.
The taxpayer who has q grievance
must seek relief before the city board
of equalization"
Asked as to the Jurisdiction Of the
various boards. the auditor said: 1.-THE
city board equalizes between individ-
uals only. The county board equalizes
between taxing districts only, and the
state board equalizes between coun-
ties only. The city board is composed
of the mayor and city council. and the
city auditor acts as auditor OF the
board. Any taxpayer with a complaint
to file must appear before this board
which will adjourn from day to day
until the equalization has been COM
pleted."
City Assessor Robert II. Green. Jr.
this morning submitted to the board
of equalization the following totals
for real estate and personal property
assessments as returned by him fol
the year 1917:
Lots, exclusive Of improve
ments S52,11s

COUNCIL GETS BUSY
ON WEST APPROACH
VIII Take Initial Steps Toward Pro-
Viding New Road Under Arterial
Highway Plan

The securing of a right-ofway for
the proposed new west approach to
the city of Pullman will be under
taken by the city council as the first
step in the unwinding of the red
tape necessary to secure county as
sistance through the medium of the
arterial highway laws. At the meet
ing of the council Saturday evening
the city engineer and street and
highway commissioner were instruct
ed to confer with the county com
missioners and street and highway
committee of the chamber of com
merce to make plans for the secur-
ing of the highway. Under the ar
terial road laws the county, out OF
the road and bridge fund, pays so
per cent of the cost of the road, the
remaining so per cent to be borne
by the city most benefited. Not
more than Is per cent of the cost
can be assessed against abutting
property owners, leaving only S5 per
cent to be raised by taxation.
In all probability it will be at
least a year before actual work Oh
the highway can be commenced and
to take care of the traffic during
that time the council voted to i'm
prove the Arbor street approach at a
cost of not to exceed $500. This
temporary road will leave West Main
street at the Windus corner. going
south on Arbor street TO Blaine
street, turning north on Church
street and following Church street
to Olson. thence along Olson TO State
street and north on State TO the
O.-W r. & N tracks.

Pullman Must Raise $4,000

1t was agreed that all the places
oil business close on Saturday, June
1G, from noon to 200 o'clock, while
a public mass m Getting is held at the
Grand theatre to arouse interest. it
was also arranged that every bust
ness man urge the farmers to come
in and attend the mass meeting.
Delegates have visited Johnson,
Cotton. Uniontown and Albion to or
game the campaign at those r-r..:s
and next week the Red Cross drive
will be started in every nook and
corner of Whitman county.
The county organization has is
sued the following letter to the peo-
pie OF Whitman county.
You are hereby asked by the Ma
tional War Council, headed by Mr..
Henry p. Davidson, to contribute
$50. 900 to the National Red Cross
society during the week beginning
June Is and ending June %, as a
art of the million-dollar fund laid
against the state of Washington by
the war council.
One hundred million dollars is
required for the Red Cross society
ard will be raised during the week
above named by the United States
and Whitman county will raise her
share.
THE message for this money
comes directly from the government,
but indirectly it is a message from
the boys of this country, who have
been registered as soldiers, for a
fund of SIP per capita that will pro-
vide safety and care for them in case
of wounds in the present war.
I'VE are advised that our army is
now at the front. Within a few days
or weeks, some of our soldiers will
be blinded by poisonous gas fumes,
or shattered by shrieking shells, and
the fund that we are going to raise
during Red Cross Week is to provide
some one to care for them when they
are wounded, material to stanch
their flow of blood and drugs to re-
lieye their pain. Part of our army
is in France, part is on the way, and
this money should be raised so as to
be there before the army arrives,
that all Red Cross facilities may be
ample. Our army is going into this
war to follow the flag where ever it
leads, and that means into the thick
OF battle. Many will be wounded if
not killed outright, and little sue
cor at the right time may save life,
which, If not dear to you. may be to
someone else in our community.
The coming week will be devoted
largely to organization, and no sub
scriptions will be received prior 10

Engineer Myers reported to the city
fathers that the cost of the bridge

ton to wooden bridges and will ask
the county commissioners for finan-
cial assistance in installing a wooden
span to replace the one which has
outiyed its usefulness.

REGULAR ARMY IS
 NEAR TOP STRENGTH
Almost Reaches Peace Footing
 of 156,0OO Men

Washington, April 11.-Reports on recruiting reaching the war depart ment up to today indicate that the regular army will soon reach its peace strength of 138,0OO enlisted men, and until the president issues an order regiments cannot be brought up to war strength nor can new units be formed. Indications are that the administration does not feel like ordering this until the new army or gantzation bill is passed.
 The senate expected to reach vote today on the army appropriation bill which failed to pass at the last ses- sion.
 To fill the immediate need for property trained officers, the admin istration intends to establish & num- Der of civilian training camps for officers in various parts of the coun- try, similar to the Plattsburg camp. After three months of vigorous drill with lectures these selected for com missions will be assigned to the reg uiar army.
