George B Thatcher. appeared before
the state tax commission Monday and

per cent increase ON all rural i'm
provements be set aside.
The protestants take the position
that the valuations established on cul-
tivaed lands is erroneous and that il
is too low on first and second class
cultivated lands; that it is ont of pro-
portion and far too high on meadow
pasture and grazing lands
Among those who are fighting the
action of the state board of assessors,

Stock company. Utah Construction

REDCROSS ROLL
CALL NOV. 2-12

The American Red Cross will con-
duct campaign for unanimous en-
rollment OF all adults in the United
States during the period of November
2 to IL. Funds derived from this un-
animous enrolment will be used for
the purpose of concluding the war
program of the organization and the
carrying on of the recently announc-
ed peace-time program
The war program did not conclude
for the Red Cross at the signing of the
Armistice. The organization is still
giving attention TO 10000 boys in
American hospitals and is expending
at the present time approximately
100000 monthly in aiding the fami-
lies of many of these boys This work
will probably continue for the next
year
In addition to this service being rem
dered the boys in the hospitals and
families of returned soldiers. the Red
Cross has certain obligations abroad
which must be concluded and which
will require considerable sums of
money. However, the end of this
phase of the work is in sight and
probably will be completed within the
next few months.
The American Red Cross is always
an emergency organization and will
always require considerable in its
treasury to carry on disaster relief.
such as the recent Corpus Christi
disaster where trainloads of material
was Immediately dispatched to suffer-
ing families. The American Red
Cross must assist in epidemic relief
such as the Influenza edidemic of last
fall and winter
The peace-program of the Red Cross
calls for an extension of the public
health nursing resources of the coun-
try. 1t is the hope of the organiza-
tion that adequate public health nurs-
es will be installed in communities
where needed to successfully cope
with any public health conditions and
sanitation conditions which might
arise. Had a similar organization
been available during the influenza
epidemic doubtless thousands of lives
could have been saved
The Red Cross. since 1t became act
lively engaged i'm relief work in con-
nection with the world war, has ex-
pended approximately $4OO, ,000, 900
contributed by the American people.
II is the ann of the Red Cross to
conduct its activities on as economi-
cal basis as possible. In the future
the organization will have to depend
almost exclusively on the enrolment
of annual members to carry on its
quota.

many as the real ruler Of Belgium
during the German occupation, is
brought to trial at the Old Bail
ey in London, there will be pre-
sent an accuser whom Lancken
tried to send to the firing squad
at the Tir National. That man
is CASTOR de Leval, Belgian at
torney, legal counsellor Of the A.
merican Ambassador, Brand Whit
lock and Hugh Gibson, secretary
of the American legation, during
those dark days Of the German
occupation in Belgium.
There is bitter hatred between
Baron Lancken and the Belgian
attorney who risked his life in
his attempt to save Miss Edith
Cavell, the British Red Cross
NURSE from execution. Had It
not been for the intervention of
Ambassador Whitlock and Mr..
Gibson a firing squad might have
entertained de Leval on the morn
