tlons have been increased millions of dollars there are 65 counties in tho state that will really pay less state tax than ever before for the reason that the state levy was reduced from 6 to mills. The railroads are the
 most determined protesters against the increased assessment, but their taxes are little in excess of what they were last year.
 According to the governor a heavy bend issue is demanded in order that the state may be put on its feet once more. A deficit of nearly s1.OO0, 900 has been carried for years, the money being borrowed for current expenses. l This deficit is to be cured by the bond 1 issue, and another bond issue of near. ly S1,000,O00 is asked for permanent | improvements at the several state colleges.

STOCKYARD WORKERS
ARE BUYERS OF BOOZE
Folk Back of the Yards" Spcnd
$500, 600 Yearly for Drink.
Says Witness.

Chicago, FEB. 2S.-Residents of
the district known as back of the
yards" spend $4,50O,OOO a year for
drink, according to testimony given
in the stockyards wage arbitration
by Ebert Beeman, in charge of en-
ployes welfare work for Wilson and
company.
The section embraces 1875 square
blocks of tenements occupied al
Eost exclusively by foreign born la
borers, 40 per cent of whom are en-
ployed in the packing house indus
try.
The witness read from report
prepared by Young Mems Christian
association workers in 1912, which
showed that the gross receipts of
each saloon in the district averages
$4,000 year. The district now
has 500 saloons, or rs more than in
1912.
Beeman introduced i'm the evi-
dence a large map of the territory
showing there are rs more saloons
than retail stores where food is sold
in the section. The number of food
stores given was 225.
Witnesses for the packers declar-
cd the saloon is responsible for much
of the poverty and distress among
the foreign born unskilled iaborers
employed in the stockyards.
