FOR JUST TAXES
Property Owners Outside OF the
Loop Resent What They
Call a Very Unjust
Discrimination.

Home owners and owners Of realty
outside of the loop are loud in tbrr
protest against what they consider un-
fair taxation.
They are raised over 81 per cent
ON their valuation while the loop dis
trict escapes as usual with the same
percentage as the little fellow.
All business is driven to the loop
by every bit of city legislation.
Rents in the loop have been raised
.xorbitantly. The loop taxes on In
come property should be raised accord
mgly.
Several of the aldermen are feeding
class hatred by abusing property own
ers.

Farmers National Organizations Take
Stand Opposite Labor Union Chiefs.

Washington. Feb. 26.-While the
railroad bill is in the department of
justice being scanned with reference
to its validity, President Wilson is re-

The latest was submitted last night
by the big six organizations of farm

Farmers union. International Farm
congress, American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, National Milk Producers fed
Grafton and Farmers National con-
gress, reiterating the stand of several
million agriculturists against govern
ment ownership or operation of the
railroads and urging that President
Wilson sign the bill as a piece OF
constructive legislation.
On the other hand, the Farmers
National council sent a protest against
the bill. asking for an appointment
with the president TO present reasons
why the organization advocates a
veto. Union labor also is unalterably
opposed to the measure and is draft
ing a memorial urging that the presi-

of as much Importance as protecting

End of Lloyd George Coalition
Is Forecast Today.
Victory Former Premier AS
quith Upsets British.
MAY RESUME HIS LEADERSHIP
Failure to Lower Living Costs
Cause for Change.
Big Ovation Planned to We'll
come the New Member.

London, Feb. 26.-The opposition
press today saw the election of Her
bert II. Asquith. former premier, to
the house of commons from the Pals
ley district OF Scotland as foreshadow-
ing the possible d.sintegradon OF the
coalition government
Most of the newspapers admitted,
however, that the danger to Premier
Lloyd George was considerably dis
counted by the fact that Asquith run
ming on the Liberal ticket, had a plat
form very similar to that advocated
by the coalitionists.
The Northcliffe press. which has
been attacking the premier bitterly,
forecast bis defeat by women's votes.
The governments failure to lower the
cost of living, they pointed out, had
alienated the women.
Predict New Cabinet.
Other newspapers pointed to the de-
feat in the house of commons late yes
terday of y government motion on the
pensions bill. Sir James Remnant led
the opposition forces, carrying a hos
tile motion 1913 to 81. The motion
passed was not considered serious.
An official correction from Paisley
gives the vote in the election in which
Asquith was seated as: II. H. Asquith,
Liberal, 1876; j. NJ. Biggar. Laborite,
1902. and J. A. D. Mackean, coali-
tion-unionists, $3.50.
New Political Era.
All political questions are for the
moment completely eclipsed by for
mer Premier Asquith's triumphant re-
turn to parliament by a majority, the
size of which astonished everybody.
including his own supporters. The
result is universally recognized as a
notable personal achievement even for
a statesman with Mr.. Asquith's long
record, while the restoration of his
presence and influence in the councils
of parliament is held to be an event
destined to have important conse-
quences in the politics of Great Brit
ain and probably the world.
Politicians of all parties talked of
nothing yesterday but the possibilities
opened by his active resumption of
leadership of the opposition, which it
is generally conceded he will take over
forthwith from Sir Donald Mactean,
whose tenure has always been re-
garded more or less temporary.
1t is understood Mr.. Asquith will
take his seat in the house next Mons
day and he is assured a hearty ova-
ton, if only on personal grounds and
will probably make his first speech
next week during the debate on the
second reading of the Irish bill.
