The state board of equalization has
completed it's audiences with county
auditors, and its next important con-
ferences will be with the railway COM

Wednesday. Former Congressman at
Large James Manahan OF st. Paul
was closeted with the Nonpartisan
members of the board for some hours
during the week, but whether his visit
was in any way definitely connected
with the request which Chairman f.
F. Packard of the tax commission has
made for a 20 per cent boost in the
assessed valuation of railway proper

FIRST BREAK IN
24:H0URS FERRY !.
SERVICE FRIDAY
Good Ship Marion Strikes Sand
Z: bar and Breaks sprocket-
Wheel-Another Boat Chartered

The first break in the 24.hour ferry
service which has been given daily by
the Red Trail Ferry Co. since the
launching of the good ship Marion Oc-
Cured last week, when the stern
wheel struck partially submerged
sandbar and broke sprOcket wheel,
placing the ferry out Of commission
for a few hours before the company
could charter another boat to take the
run temporarily Service was restored
last evening and will be continued on
a 12-hour basis for a few days pend
ing the arrival of necessary repairs
to the Marion. When the latter is
again placed in commission, the a.
hour service which has proved so &C.
ceptable to people of the twin towns,
will be restored.
: The part which was broken last
week was ordered by the company the
middle of last June in anticipation of
trouble when the Missouri fell to low
water stage. Owing to the congestion
in all foundry and machinery shops
caused by the great demands which
the war has made on them, delivery
of the sprocket wheel has been de-
layed Otherwise only few minutes
would have been required yesterday to
make the needed repairs. w. 81
The Marion has been running day
and night, giving patrons excellent
service. AS the river has receded, the
company has been sub jected to a
heavy expense in changing and length
,ening its approaches, but no pains
have been spared to keep the ferry
in operation and to eliminate the only
break existing in the Red trail be-
tween the two coasts. ~ --

BIBLE SCHOOL BILL DEFEAT
ED IN ARIZONA.

ell LIN k4N1AO1NEs
Early in February the National
Advisory Board was called upon to
assist in defeating bill introduced
into the Arizona State Legislature,
bearing upon the reading of the
Bible in the public schools. The bill
was particularly obnoxious because
it sought to nullify very good law
on the statute books of Arizona
and because it endeavored to accom-
plish this under the guise of a very
innocent amendment.
The statute formerly read as fol-
lows: "Any teacher who shall use
any sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL
books, or teach any sectarian doc
trine, or conduct any sectarian reli
gious exercises in his school, or who
shall fail to comply with any of the
provisions mentioned in this chapter
shall be deemed guilty of unprofes-
sional conduct, and it shall be the
duty of the proper authority to re-
woke his certificate or diploma"
The amendment to this statute
consisted of the following phrase to
be added at the end of the statute:
"Provided that nothing in the Act
shall be construed to prohibit read
ing from any standard version of the
Bible without comment or the repetl-
ton of the portions thereof without
comment" The passage of this
amendment would have frustrated
the purpose of the original statute.
Rabbi Martin Zie1onka of Ell Paso,
Texas, supervisor of District No.
44), took active interest in the cam
paign to prevent the passage of this
bill. Literature dealing with the Bib e
in the Public Schools, including the
pamphlet issued by the National Ad
visory Board, containing record of
successful opposition to such meas
ures, was sent to the Jewish citizens
of Arizona Through the organized
efforts of Messrs. Barnett E. Marks.
of Phoenix, Ariz, a member of the
National Advisory Board; Charles

peared as counsel for the Pennsyl-
vania and the Burlington railroads,
in connection with city ordinances.
+ 'Why did so many of the special
privilege hogs of this city hunt out
this ons law firm? Was it the SUI
perior legal talents of Sam Ettelson's
partners that attracted corporations
ard the State street stores? Or was
it something besides legal ability that
drew these liberal clients to Sam Et-
telson's law partners?
Notice how Sam EttelsOn, upheld
by Mayor Thompson and the Trib-
une, kept on with his tactics assist
ing the gas company. In January
this year Aid. Utpatel introduced an
ordinance to reduce the special gas
litigation fund by 100000 When
Aid Merriam openly charged that
Corporation Counsel EttelsOn was
the author of the ordinance, Utpatel
failed to deny that this gas company
ordinance was written by the former
gas company lawyer, who acts Off
Claly as corporation counsel and is
paid $4,000 to serve as attorney for
the gas users, the citizens of Chi
cagO.
Defeated in January the Ordi-
nance to reduce the gas litigation
fund by 100000 was introduced
again in February, this time by Aid.
MichaelsOR, the ThOmpsOn-Lundin
fOcr leader in city council. In the
defeat of this ordinance Aid. Merriam
and Aid. Buck were leaders. They
forced from Sam insult, the gas COM
pany head, an admission that SchUy-
Ter & Weinfeld are gas company law
yers who were not employed before
Mayor Thompson became mayor.

about over $4,000. AS a fellow
capitalist of Sam insult, John ].
Mitchell, the Field estate and other
interests, he would have cut a poor
figure as a political candidate. AS
politician it has his game to make a
show of fighting the insult interests.
He publicly pledged that if elected he
would appoint special gas litigation
committee Of Aldermen Merriam,
Captain, Lawley, Utpatel, Nance and
RicheTt to get for the gas users of
Chicago the $1O,0OO,OOO fund of gas
company Overcharges held in escrow.
1.-TWO months after Mayor Thomp-
sons election the law firm of SchUy-
Ter, EttelsOn & Weinfeld was paid
$4,000 in fees for so-called legal
services. This was the beginning of
sO-caIIed legal services for. which the
Peoples Gas Co. has to date paid
that firm total of $4,000.
''The use of this amount of money
at such a time, all things considered,
is so grave a matter that the truth of
it might be questioned. That this
money was paid to these lawyers,
however, is shown in a report of Ex-
pert E. w. Bemis to aldermen who
had asked him to examine the gas
company books.
-Four months later Sam Ettelson
of the firm of Schuyler, EttelsOn &
Weinfeld, gas company lawyers, was
appointed corporation counsel One
of his first official acts was to assert
the right Of the corporation counsel
to control all litigation of the city. He
insisted that Donald R. Richberg, at
tOrney for the special gas litigation
committee, should be an assistant
under orders Of the corporation
counsel Also he announced he had
withdrawn from the firm of Schuyler,
