LONDON PRESS IN THE
MAIN ENDORSES GREY'S
TEMPORARY APPOINTMENT

London, August l4.--Viscount Grey's
acceptance of the appointment as tenn
porary British ambassador to the Unit
ed States is given warm approval by
the press here, which eulogiZes his
public services and for the most part
regards his appointment as excellent.
There Is. however, dissatisfied criti-
cism in some quarters, not on the
ground of Niscount Grey's fitness or
his acceptability to America, but be-
cause of the extraordinary responsible
lities attaching to the post at this mo
ment Doubt is expressed whether the
naming of a temporary ambassador is
suitable for this reason.
In most Of the editorials, Viscount
Greys sympathy with the League of
Nations is dwelt upon, though the Tel
egraph remarks that he has not re-
vealed whether he champions the par
ticular form of the league Incorporated
in the peace treaty.

STATE BOARD RAISE
Of COUNTY VALUES
HITS FARMERS ONLY

At the meeting of the Carter county
excise board, held Wednesday afternoon
surprise was sprung when It was ais
covered that the 100 per cent raise levied
by the state equalization board on
lands In Carter county. did not apply TO
city lots. but only 10 farm land.
Upon this being confirmed by the state
board over the telephone, proceedings
were brought 10 an abrupt halt. ana
the excise board and county commission
ers Immediately went into executive ses'
sion In an effort to devise means OF
counteractlng this condition.
Without passing further upon the
county budget. the board adjourned un'
I'll Wednesday August 27th, at which
time IL hopes to have a definite under
standing with the state board regarding
this matter
The commissioners will appear be
fore the state equalization board at OK
lahoma City, August 25th. and protest
against this proceeding. The commission
ers state, through their chairman, that
unless some more equitable adjudication
Is made, they will file injunction pro
ceedings.
Mr.. Taylor. chairman OF the board
of county commissioners, said that
values in Carter county needed raise,
but that the raise should apply to all
parties and not place the entire burden
upon the farmer. For that reason the
board proposes to take the case up with
the state equalization board ut its ses.
sion on the 25th
The commissioners will meet again
at the court house August 10Th, for the
purpose of cleaning up some unfin'
| ty business is concerned this cannot be
accomplished until after the present
muddle is cleared up.
II was the general opinion from the
tone of the report received Tuesday
morning. that the 100 per cent raise on
real estate applied to all real estate in
the county. city lots included. and while
the increase was felt to be eXorbitant
| by many, yet the majority Were pre-.
pared to stand the burden. But when il
was found that the raise only applied
| to farm lands. things came to an abrupt
halt until some sort of settlement can
be effected with the state powers.
The commissioners are going to ap.
pear before the state board armed with
all necessary evidence TO support their
claims, and hope to reach satisfactory
agreement at once.
