WATSON TO CALL
SUFFRAGE BILL
UP ON TUESDAY

WASHINGTON D. c.. June Sen
ator James e. Watson, Republican, of
Indiana, plans to call up the suffrage
resolution Tuesday and vote may be
taken on that day. The Indiana sena-
tor, who Is chairman of the suffrage
committee, believes that 1t will have
two or three votes more than the
necessary two-thirds of the senate.
Watson will direct the fight for the
passage Of the resolution, but he does
not plan to speak. 1t is probable that
the only opponents will debate the suf-
frage question.
There is no need for talk; 1t is
time for voting" said the senator to-
day. There isn't new thing to be
said on the subject. Debate will not
affect a single vote"
It is understood that Senators Hoke
Smith, of Georgia; Oscar w. Under
wood, Of Alabama; James r. Reed OF
Missouri, and William E. Borah, of
Idaho, all against suffrage by the fed
eral method, will discuss the resolu-
ton. How long they debate will de-
termine whether or not the vote will
be reached Tuesday.
Scores of women opposed to suffrage
have telegraphed requests to Senator
Watson for an open hearing before the
suffrage committee, but he has de
clined their requests on the ground
that there is nothing new to discuss.

Dayton Lecturer Speaks
On "The World On Fire.

Speaking on Vaughan hall Sunday
afternoon, H. L. Rogers, of Dayton,
O., gave his lecture, 1.-The World on
Fire.. Using the Bible as authority,
the speaker declared that the present
destructive forces at work In the
earth will accomplish the complete
destruction OF the present social order.
The Heavens" and the Earth" to
be burned, according to the Bible, are
not the literal heavens and earth, but
are symbo1ical terms referring to our
ecclesiastical and civil systems, he
said.
Just as the flood destroyed the world
or social order in Noah's day, 1eav-
ing the literal earth standing for a
new social order, just so will the
present trouble (fire) leave the earth
for new social order, which shall
be established by Divine aid, and shall
constitute Messiah's kingdom, for
which Christians have so long prayed.
Through this new order the desire of
all nations shall come, he asserted.
False teachings and errors in doc
trine and practice of modern eccles-
isticism is in large measure respons-
ible for present conditions in the
earth, declared the speaker.

CRASSHOPPERS
APPEARING ON
INDIANA FARMS
Prospects for Bumper Crop of
Insects Seen by Purdue Ex-
perts.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June Pros
Eects for bumper crop Of grasshop-
pers were never better, according to
entomologists at Purdue university,
and already the pests are showing up
In Wells, Hancock, Shelby and other
counties Of the state. Last season they
ruined hundreds OF fields of clover,
alfalfa and Of corn by stripping the
stalks OF everything except the tassels.
They may be controlled by the use
OF poison bran bait or the big hopper
dozers, boxltke traps, which catch
them as it is dragged by horses over
clover or other hay fields.
The poison bran bait, which is sown
broadcast, is made of twenty-five
pounds Of bran or sawdust, mixed with
one pound Of Paris green or one and
one-half pounds of white arsenic; two
quarts OF cheap feeding molasses, six
cut up lemons or oranges to flavor the
bait, and one or two gallons of water.
When the hoppers taste this mixture
their hopping career is quickly ended.
Bait will have to be used where corn
prevents the pulling of a hopper-dozer.
How to Trap choppers"
The hopper dozer is sixteen feet
long, four feet high, and Is so made
that when 1t is pulled over the field,
the hoppers jump against it and slide
Into a trap. Plans for the hoped
dozer may be obtained from any
county agricultural agent in the state.
This hopper catcher was used sue
cessfully in 1918 at various places
in Indiana
Details Of both of these control
methods are contained in circular No.

yersity.

TAX PROTESTER
HAS VALUATION
sent UP NOTCH
Farm Valuation Advanced
From SO, $50 to $4,000 by
Tax Review Board.

Wayne county board Of tax review,
at its first 1919 sitting Monday morn
ing, decided that its policy would be
to see that all county property 10
valued at rigid market value, for the
purpose of tax assessment.
While the board met only for or
ganizadon, Monday, farmer, who
came up to protest against the valu-
alton of his property at $3.50. had It
raised despite fresh protests to $780,
900, when the board learned that the
farm was worth moro than his assess
ment. His farm contained IS acres,
and average for the new valuation OF
about $154 an acre.
IF your property has been assessed
at less than what you would actually
sell 1t for today, 1t would be better for
you not to come in to see the board,
said County Assessor William Math-
ews, for 1t is our duty to see that this
valuation is approached as nearly as
possible. In many cases, we will have
to raise If the property is brought be-
fore us whereas If 1t not brought up
we probably will neglect II"
To Make Investigation.
The board will not wait in some
cases for a petition, but make indie
pendent investigations of assessment
of properties reported low, and will
raise wherever they find the assess
bent below the lawful figure. Some
Richmond corporations are to be In
vestigated, 1t Is understood
Emphasis was again laid on the fact
that the rise in assessments this year
does not mean any increase In the &C.
tual taxes paid by any taxpayer, and
In some cases that 1t means less ac-
tual money paid. The board expects
the rate to be less than 81 this year,
against a rate of about $3.50 In the
city of Richmond for the 1919 spring
taxes.
This Is because while valuations are
higher, and the county Is expected as
a whole to be worth double Its 1918
figure of $42,000,000, no more money
can be raised in taxes than last year,
unless by a special hearing before the
state tax board. AS from the doubled
valuation, the same amount Of money
Is to be raised, it follows that the rate
will be much less, and the amount OF
money actually paid for taxes Will be
about the same.
Will Continue Sittings.
The board will continue its sittings
beginning Tuesday morning at 10:30
o'clock and continuing from 1870 to 4
that afternoon. This schedule will be
followed, until petitioners have all
been heard.
The Richmond and Wayne township
books will not be ready for week or
so yet, so that no hearings can be held
on this property until next week, and
1t will be of no use for petitioners
from the township or city to come uI
before that time.
The board is composed of John Jud
kins of Cambridge, Benjamin G. Price
Of Richmond and the county auditor
treasurer, and assessor.

cording to the report made by an in

of Charities, who went over the jail

Supreme Court Upholds
Railroad Rate Increase
tBy Associated Press,


WASHINGTON, June a. Railroad
freight and passenger rate increases
made by the railroad administration
last June were today upheld by the
supreme court. North Dakota supreme
court DEGREES enjoining the Northern
Pacific railroad and Director General
Hines from enforcing an order of the
railroad administration increasing the
rates in that state were reversed.
The court also set aside the lower
court DEGREES which held that under
Section Is Of the railroad control act,
pre-existing Interstate rates remained
In effect as lawful police regulations.
The court held that the authority
conferred by the resolution and the
act were war powers conferred on the
president and the power Of the fed
eral government was supreme and
conclusive" The opinion was unani-
nous.
