COX CARRIES CAMPAIGN
TO FARMERS OF KANSAS
URGING LEAGUE NATIONS
SAYS PRESIDENTS PLAN Is THE
ONLY DEFINITE ONE WHICH
WILL PREVENT WARS.
THREE SPEACHES TO-DAY
Making Vigorous Fight for Vote of
That State, and confining Himself
Largely to Discussion Of the League
Question.
(By Unified Press.)

WITH GOV COX'S SPECIAL
TRAIN. HUTCHINSON, Kan. Sept.
3O.-Into the great wheat belt of Kan
sas, Governor Cox carried his presi-
dental stump campaign today, and
further emphasized his previous dec
larations that the league of nations
is the only definite plan suggested
that will prevent wars.
The governor was to speak at
lIutcherson this morning, Newton
this afternoon and Wichita tonight.
Governor Cox's strategy in Kansas
seems to be based upon the belief that
the Kansas vote for Wilson in 1916
was because the people of that state
we're opposed to war, and he is max.
ing most of his entire campaign on
the league of nations.

DESIRE TO QUIT OFFICE
Member Of 7. C. c. Discusses Rumor
Regarding His disappointment
to Position He Holds.

r. w. Woolley. member of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, made
the following statement today:
Upon my return this morning from
Tampa, Fla. where I have been hold
ing hearings in case before the
Interstate Commerce Commission, my
attention was called to several news
articles. which have appeared in the
past few days. to the effect that if I
am reappointed January l the Senate
will refuse to confirm my nomination.

gard. will be named by President

choice. indeed.
Nearly a year ago asked Secretary
Tumulty to notify President Wilson
that I was seriously thinking of re-
signing from the commission in order
to enter private life, to my distinct
financial advantage. and that even
though I might serve out my term.
owing to the pressure of most i'm
portant work which the commission
had in hand. I did not wish to be re-
appointed. also informed my col
leagues to like effect

$50, 600 IN TAXES SAVED
TO MONTGOMERY COUNTY
State Tax Commission Heeds Pro-
tests of Commissioner Hunt, Back
ed by Board, on Reassessment.

ROCKVILLE, Md. November 10
Especially "A sum of $4,000 in taxes
has been saved to the taxpayers Of
Montgomery county for the current
year through the announcement of
! the state tax commissioner that the
previously ordered reassessment of
. basic property values in the county
should not be carried out. The tax
commission has announced to the
commissioners that the assessment
shall be held up pending further no.
tice. TIL action is victory for the
board of county commissioners, who
supported Commissioner Henry j.
Hunt, in his protests to the tax com
mission that a reassessment at this
time would be unfair in view of in
flated property values.
Under provisions of state law the
state tax commission has the power
to revise taxes throughout the coun-
ties of the state whenever they see MT
to an assessment basis of full value of
the property. Last fall they ordered
several counties in the state to revise
their assessable basis, among which
appeared Frederick county. The COM
misSioners of Frederick county OPP
posed this by going to court, claim
ing that the state tax commission did
not have the power to force this re-
vision, but they were beaten and the
revision ordered.
Montgomery county's turn came this
last spring and summer when the
county commissioners sitting as a
board at Rockville were ordered by
the state tax commission to include
in their levy enough money. about
$500. to cover the cost of revising
upward the assessable basis of Mont
gomery county, which the state tax
commission claimed was not high
enough. and that the assessed basis of
about $32.0OO.000 at which it is now
carried should be nearer $60,o0O.0OO.
Mr.. Hunt took the position that this
could not be termed a revision as the
entire project was to raise and not
lower the assessment and that, there
fore, it was a reaSsessment when
under the law must be applied to the
entire state and not to one county at
time merely by the selection by the
state tax commission of any county
they might care to single out. He
also pointed out to the commissioners
and made it in the form of motion
before the board which appears upon
their minutes that due to the present
inflated value of real estate and the
low purchasing power of dollar"
it would be unfair to the people of
Montgomery county to force a re-
assessment on them at the time. and he
submitted a letter which was signed
by the president of the board of
