per cent. an addition Of approximately
$S.6OO.OOO to be allotted to the various
counties in-the state throughout which
the ''fnter-counties" properties run,
were decided upon at meeting Of the
tate boarR OF equalization held in
compliance with the mandate of the
'upreme court.
The board some time ago assessed
the power companies upon the same
basis as other property in the state,
taking the replacement value of the
physical property and considering 1t to-
gether with the element that it was a
constructive. going plant. Attorney
General s. c. Ford and his assistant,
Frank Woody. contended that the prop.
erty should be assessed on the basis
Of its stocks and bonds.
The board then considered its orig
inal assessment valuations made by
valuation engineers of Chicago. The
board then ordered that the physical
valuations of the properties as orig
inally decided upon. plus 10 per cent
for intangible values. be taken as the
assessed valuation. Mr.. Ford and
State Auditor Porter voted against the
motion. Those in favor We're Cover
nor $. V. Stewart. Secretary of State
Z. L. Stewart and State Treasurer H.

In order to get valuation similar
to that of the public service commits
sion. to cover both physical and in
tangible values, the board adopted sim
liar methods and percentages as the
other state body uses, the members de-
clared.
The three companies were originally
assessed for approximately S322 100000.

The conference Of the Baltic nations
closed with the appointment Of a COM
mission to work out a plan for de-
fensive alliance against soviet Russia.
Contrary to expectations, there was
not even discussion Of the question Of
making peace with the bOlsheviki.
Lfthuania wanted to form an alliance
with Esthonia and Latvia against Po-
land, and when this was rejected the
Ltthuanians virtually withdrew from
the conference. 1t is intimated that
Lithuania may make alliances with
both soviet Russia and Germany,
which would make the position of Po-
land even more uncomfortable than 1t
now is.

Since the World has been the leading
metropolitan organ of the Wilson ad-
ministratiOn this aroused great inter-
est and some excitement in the Demo
cratic camp. The important question,
Of course, was whether or not it meant
that Mr.. Hoover was the choice Of Mr..
Wilson. No one could answer this Of
ficially. Some of the Southern Demo
Gratis said they would not favor Hoover
because they considered him a Repub-
lican; some of the members Of the
party from the West thought the farm
ers would oppose him because he put
fixed price on wheat and let cotton
soar. Mr.. Hoover himself maintained
dignified silence. The secretary Of
the Bryan league says Colonel House
is responsible for the Hoover boom.
There has been some talk Of Edward
I. Edwards, the wet governor of New
Jersey, as the Democratic nominee,
and there, too. Mr.. Bryan comes to the
front. He says he would oppose any
such movement and would not be u
delegate to the convention if Nebraska
should instruct for Edwards. Further

While the federal prohibition agents
are Selling millions of dollars worth of
liquors and the bOotleggers on the bor-
ders and the moOnshiners everywhere
are making small fortunes, one wisp
of hope is held out to the vets. The
Supreme court of the United States
has granted to Rhode Island permits
sion to institute in that court original
proceedings to test the validity of both
the prohibition amendment to the Con-
stitution and the volstead enforcement
act. The suit is brought by direction
of the Rhode Island legislature, which
refused to ratify the amendment. 1t is
alleged that the amendment is an in
reference with the state police powers
and violation of the fifth constitu-
tional amendment. and is "usurpatory,
unconstitutional and void"
A generally overlooked feature Of
the prohibition law which is of i'm
mense interest to thousands of prop
erty owners was brought to public at.
tentiOn last week. This section i'm
poses a fine of not more than $1,000
