be granted this deficit would be great
ly augmented. The strike is coming at
time when the railroads are to be
turned back to private ownership: If
private owners are compelled to meet
this increase demanded for wages,
both freight and passenger rates must
be increased, and that means an addi-
tional burden upon the common peo-
pie. Railroad employees, representing
all infinitesimal minority of the popu
lation of the country, are endeavoriEg
to rule this country and are using the
strike as bludgeon to force the adj
ministration to meet their every de-
mand. In these railroad strikes If the
railroad alone suffered the public could
look on with patience at the struggle,
but 1t is the innocent -bystander that
must do the suffering and there is a
general demand for some law that will
prevent as far as possible the demor-
aliZation of business and industry
through the medium Of the strike.

grand jury must have had convincing
evidence upon which to base their
findings, then one Of the causes OF the
high cost of living has been exposed.
But the question naturally arises, why
select two or three houses to make an
example of when undoubtedly all
other retail stores are tarred with the
same stick. People who have shopped
in Spokane have never been able to
discover that there was any marked
difference in the prices Of any line
of goods in any Of the many stores
handling the same general stocks. II
there were any variations those vari-

1t came to buying. II the three big
houses have been guilty Of excessive

Constantinople, July 10TH (Associat-
ed Press.) The Turks are beginning to
fully realize the critical situation created
by the triumphant Greek advance in
Anatolia and what they regard as a COM
plete rupture of the peace negotiations.
There is much speculation among the
Turks as to how the Entente Powers will
deal with them after the Greeks dominate
the Bagdad railway, Whick now seems
inevitable to the people here, although
those in the interior OF the country still
hope that Mustapha Kemal may check
the Greek advance. 1t is feared general

THINKS FAST MOTORIST
WAS GROVER BERGDOLL
Jerseyr1an Gets Officials off
on Hunt for Stacker.

An alarm that Grover Cleveland Berg
doll, hatless. had been seen driving in a
rather ancient automobile along the road
from Hackettstown; n. j., awoke the
Department of Justice to activity yester-
day and caused a Sheriff's posse to be
organized at Newton. Although II was
10 o'clock IN the morning that Free
holder Robert NJ. Smith of Sussex county
who was driving into Newton. reported
seeing the Philadelphia draft dodger
nothing developed during the day to
prove the truth of the report
Mr.. Smith said he had met BergdoIl
several tines three or four years ago
at the Sheepshead Bay races. and that
he was aided in the identification by the
absence Of the mans hat
"Bergdoll never wore hat any of the,
times ! saw him" said Smith. "I am
convinced he was the man that passed
me to-day"
The meeting which startled Smith and
the Sherims office n short time. later
took place between Sparta and Newton
Smith said an old model automobile an
preached at a high speed and halted
about one hundred feet away from
Smith while the driver read the road
signs. During that moment and as the
old car sped part him. Smith said he
was struck by tn remarkable resem-
blance of the driver 20 Bergdoll.
When he reached Newton, Smith mott
fed Sheriff Chardovoyne, who sent out
n posse. although expressing skepticisr,
that the man was Bergdoll. The De-
partment Of Justice sent word of the
reported identification to Philadelphia
agents.

1924 TAX RATE |
WILL NOT JUMP,
SAYS CANTOR
Head of Assessment Board
Disagrees With Budget
Committee.
TAXABLE LIST DROPS
Number of Non Resident
Corporations Here Is
Also Smaller.
STAGE PEOPLE INCREASE
Caruso at Head of List With
$4,000 Levy; Clara Kim
ball Young $4,000.
STAGE PEOPLE INCREASE

The new tax rates on real and per-
sonal property for 1921 will not show
the increases that many expected, in the
opinion of Jacob A. Cantor, president
of the Board of Taxes and Assessments.
Mr.. Cantor said yesterday that he be-
lieved the rates would remain about the
same as they were for this yeaN the
realty tax standing at s2.4S per 500 Of
valuation and the personal tax $3.50.
In explaining the situation he said that
the same rules were applied to examina-
lions for values as were used in other
years.
Mr. Cantor's statement was directly
opposed to the opinions expressed Friday
by members of the Budget Committee.
They declared that the huge amounts
needed to run the city next year. even
with assessments up to more than ten
and quarter billions, must force up
the tax rate. They estimated the rate
would jump to SO a hundred and pos
sibly even to $3.50.
A much fairer valuation could be
placed on all personal property, and the
task of the tax assessors would be
simplified If the law We're changed and
all persons taxable were compelled to
make a return, Mr.. Cantor said
Compared with the personal lists Tor
1920, the assessment books show a large
decrease In the number of names. The
total number of names on the 1921 list
is 6S67S, as compared to the 75,035 listed
in 1920 An even greater falling off is
shown in the number of nonresident
corporations that will pay money to the
city In 1921. In 1920 taxes were paid by
nonresident corporations on $59694,5D
while this year the taxable total for the
nonresident group Is only 5000, 500.
The lists do show increases, however,
In the number of actors and actresses.
Some of those who will pay over to
Father Knickerbocker and the amounts
the books ask from them are:
Enrico Caruso. $4,000; Clara Kimball
Young, $50, 900; Theda Bara, $4,000 {;
David Warfield, $4,000; Annette KEEL
hermann, $4,000; Alice Brady, $4,000 !;
James K. Hackett, 100000; Geraldine
Farrar 10000
The Finance Department made public
yesterday the estimates for the coming
year for the Department of Public We'll
fare of which Bird S. Coler is head
The department, according to the fig
ures, will require $50. 030,266, SS,373,500
of which, however. is placed under
schedule c, building programme.
With the schedule deducted. according to
the pay as you go plan, the increase
amounts to about $3.400,000.
In salaries alone there is an increase
of about a million dollars over the
budget for 1920 and the total for sup
plies amounts to virtually $4,000, 900
more than in 1920.
