The statement resulted from a call for mass meeting in Montgomery which is proposed to be held Thursday night for the purpose of making pub lie protest against raises proposed by the tax adjuster of Montgomery county. The governor said the state would use its power to prevent assessment of any property above 60 per cent of it's real value, but that it's power also would be used to increase all assessments up to that limit.
 He referred to the call of the mass meeting as a movement to engender prejudice against the laws of the state and harked back to a recent mass meet ing in Montgomery county which con- demned a prominent citizen without giving him the right to appear and de- fcnd himself

Chicago, June o. (Spe- cial. )-In pressing his mimi table imitation of his master, the late Colonel Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson ;. openly threatens revolt.
 The Hearst organs, Senator Borah, his nre-eating spokesman. and Tom Lawson, who offers
 money to finance an independent race, convey threat to the "Old Guard.
 Hearst contends that, irrespective of the North Carolina statement of John- son, he would be forced to run if the bosses carry out their scheme to defraud him through purchased power. The "Old Guard" composed of Crane, Lodge and Watson, have been given pause. They believe that Johnson is bluffing, just as Roosevelt bluffed four years ago. And yet they vividly recall that Roosevelt made good his threat in 1912.
 So they pause. IL Is their game to pacify Johnson if possible. It is plain, however. that they intend running over him roughsnod if such an ex- tremity be necessary.
 OLD GUARD IN SADDLE
 That the "Old Guard' is in the sad dle is apparent. Penrose played his game so smoothly that there was much talk to the effect that this convention would be independent, but when the first skirmishes occurred, Lodge be- came permanent chairman of the con- yention and Watson chairman of the platform committee.
 Noting the drift, JohnsOn's lieu
 tenants issued the threat of a bolt
 Rooseveltian charges of the mis-
 use of filthy money, the manipuIa-
 ton of Wall street, the lecberOus
 hand Of predatory interests, fill
 the air.
 This entire day and night have been corsuFied by the bosses solving their probselns. It was their original pur- ppse 1s write a League of Nations plank on which Johnson could not stand. They next prepared league plank which, in it's pretentions to please everybody without repudiating the Versailles treaty, was so innocuous that they hastily withdrew 1t.
 MAY PkOLCNG SESSlONS
 And thus it happens that, irrespec- tive of what the moving finger writes, the big fight on the floor of the con vention will concern the league plank. After that fight the nomination of a candidate will be as easy as picking cherries. There are some who predict tonight that the league fight in con- vention, followed by deadlock be- tween the candidate. will force the ses- sions into next week.
 On account of the above complex situation, Johnson is the center of
 attention tonight. It Is said that
 there Is n noticeable drift to Wood. It is declared that Sproui grows by leaps and bounds. It is reported that LOwden feels the falling away of the money interests on the ground of their fear that the people would not elect him. And there Is renewed talk of Knox.
 But 1t all seems to be the manipula- ton of the bosses in their palpable Gme of Keeping them guessing. lily are evidently feeling their way with the most scrupulous attention to detail.

 BULLETINS
By Associated Press

 l Chicago June 9-Efforts of the state organization leaders to line up the New York delegates solidly for Nicholas Mur- ray Butler on the first ballot failed to- day through the expressed determination on the part of eight or ten delegates to vote for General Wood. A conference of the delegation was held, but little pro- gress was made toward complete unity of action. Another conference will be held probably tomorrow.
 The Missouri delegation, meeting in special caucus tonight, voted down, 24 to II, n motion to rescind the election of Jacob l.. Babler as national committeeman, because of testimony before the Senate inves- tiEating committee that he had handled Lowden campaign funds in that state.
 Twenty eight subjects. ranging from enforcement of the prohibition act to free fcod for hapless inventors were dis cussed by sixty persons today before the resolutions committee, sitting to receive suggestions on blanks for the platform. Every one who wanted to talk was heard and the fve-minute rule. gravely adopted yesterday, was subject to liberal inter- pretation and many reservations. Al the close of the hearing the committee had enough testimony to keep it occupied sev- eral days. High spots in the meeting in- cluded a vigorous attack on the anti strike features of the Esch-Cummins railroad bill and the Kansas industrial courts law by Samuel Gompers; strong plea by Senator Capper of Kansas. and others for enforcement of the dry laws; a clash between members of the commit tee when Ben c. Marsh, representing farmers organizations, made what one committeeman called .socialistic speech" and demonstration when Frank F. Walsh spoke in behalf of Irish free dom.
 Militant suffragists. who on Monday began silent pieketing of the conven- tion, decided tonight to liven things up tomorrow by displaying banners att tacking the republicans. Mrs. Werner Reed vice chairman from Colorado on the national republican ways and means committee. was a picket today. Mrs. Leonard Wood and Mrs. Douglas Robin SOL sister of Colonel Roosevelt. visited the lines and chatted with the women

Washington. June 9.-Sercetary l Houston, writing today to the bankers ! of the country. declared that the com the fiscal year ending with th.s month should show little If any deficit. the government having about balanced it's budget current receipts against cur rent disbursements, for the first full fiscal year after the fighting stopped" Though the first quarter of the pres
 ent fiscal year showed deficit of abo Ut $ii0, 900. 000." MT. Houston i'd. "ln the second quarter there was a surplus of over $150,000000: in the third quarter there was surplus of nearly s40O,000 600, and the fourth quarter should also show a surplus.
 "The total gross debt of the United States, which on June 30. l919 amount ed to nearly $25500. 900. 900, and on Au gust 31. 1919. amounted to nearly s26- quo, 100000. had been .'educed on May 31, 1920. to less than s25. 1000. 0on, 900.

 ment of nearly sl.0oo, 100000 in treas
