HINES SUCCEEDS McADoo.
Former Assistant Made Director Gen
eraI-cable From Wilson.

Los Angeles, CAL, Jan. 11.-Walker
D. Hines, assistant director general of
railroads, was appointed director gen
eral today by President Wilson to sue
ceed William G. McAdoo.
Notice of the appointment cabled to
the White House by President Wilson,
reached Mr. McAdoo by telegraph last
night at Winslow, Ariz., when the re-
firing director general passed through
that town on his way to Los Angeles.
Mr.. McAdoo issued the following
statement: "The president has author
lied me to announce the appointment
of Walker D. Hines as director. gen
eral of railroads. He will enter upon
his duties of office Immediately. Mr..
Hines has been my assistant at Wash
ington since the beginning OF govern
ment control and has a thorough
knowledge of the organization and ad-
ministration of the railroads under
federal control as well as of the funda-
mental problem involved in the rail-
road situation. His ability and ex-
perience admirably fit him for the
great trust and responsibility with
which the president has honored him.
aside from his obvious qualifca-
tions, Mr.. Hines is in full sympathy
with the policies which have guided
the railroad administration and with
the views Of the president on the rail-
road question I am sure that Mr..
Hines will have the hearty support of
the fine army of railroad officers and
employees and l can ask nothing bet
ter for him than that they shall give
him and the country the same loyal
and effective service they rendered
during my term as director general.

cords with the estimates submitted to
him, and he sends them on up to the
legislature, as the law requires him to
do. That good many Of the increases
will not be made in toto. goes without
saying. but. as stated. there may be
other items which will bring the total
up.
For instance, the estimate does not
include the amount asked for in in
creased salaries of State officials-an
equitable adjustment of which should
be made The estimate, however. does
include number of big items which
this general assembly could very we'll
let alone. in the interest of the tax-pay-
ers of the State.
If the estimates should go through.
for instance, an increase of one and
one-fourth mills in the State levy would
be required, Notwithstanding the fact
that taxable values in the State have
increased during the past year-and
upon which the coming appropriation
bill will be based-by good many
million dollars.
The levy has been steadily jumping,
Notwithstanding the increase in
values, and the coming general as
sembly will no doubt see the wisdom
of taking these increased values into
consideration in fixing the levy.
The fact stands out, however, that
the State levy IS not the only levy
which has been jumping. County and
city taxes throughout the State have
been rising by leaps and bounds, and
these increases have really been great
er burdens than the State levy.
The whole crux of the matter is that
the question of taxation will be one
of the most important before the COM
ing session of the general assembly.
