Government Will Pay

For Account March 1

Taxes will be collected by this
county on wheat held in warehouses
for the government on March l and IL
later on it is decided the county has
no right to such tax money the am
cunt will be returned.
Mr.. strain, assessor, is sending out
notices to farmers having wheat
asking them to report as to who holds
the wheat March 1. In the letter he
reprints a letter he sent to NJ. H.
Houser. making inquiry as to who
shall pay the taxes and gives also
Mr.. Houser's reply. In his answer
Mr.. Houser says he instructed the
firms holding wheat for the govern
ment account to pay the taxes, tax
ing receipts showing the money to
have been paid on government ac.
count. This was done in Washington
to prevent delays some assessors
were causing in the shipment OF
whea ton which taxes had not been

RAILROAD MEN NOT
SATISFIED WITH RAISE
Claim 1t Means Little or No
Increase Over Present
Wages.

While late newspaper stories. con-
corning the rise given railroad men
look good on the face, it is said that
local employees are very much dis
satisfied, declaring that the increase
will amount To little or nothing. This
is because all increases now ordered
will be determined according to a per-
centage scale based on pay received in
December, 1915, and any increases
which have been allowed within that
time will be deducted. In many cases,
rises in pay in the last two and one
half years are about equal to the in
creases now approved. and conse-
quently, these employees will. get little
or no more.
However, one OF the principal duties
of the new wage board is to correct
Just such situations and it is hoped a
better arrangement will be made The
new boards creation was suggested by
the railroad wage commission. In no
cases are wages to be reduced.
There win probably be a number of
employees TO get bona fide increases, !
and for many of these there will be
back pay since January /. There are
