MART FOR LIVE
STOCK HARDENS

men Advised to Get Yeariings-
Heavy Hog Consumption.

According to a bulletin Just is
sued by the Chicago Livestock Ex-
change, a gradual hardening OF
stock cattle values is in progress.
Ffeshy steers weighing around or
above 1000 pounds are now selling
at S6.25 and $3.50, and killers ap-
pear to be able To use them at that
figure.
Pasturemen with grass to tenant
next spring are told that they will
do well to take time by the fore
lock, picking up yearlings through
the winter as opportunity offers.
Feed is so cheap and abundant in
the country that many light cattle
intended for summer grazing will
get fat this side of the rise of
grass and take the short cut to the
beef rail, especially if the fat cattle
market picks up as the winter
works along Yearlings recently
worth S5.65 and $685. have advanc-
ed to 1910 and $640.
They will grow scarce as spring
approaches, and the bulletin states
that spring buying will be in full
swing 10 weeks hence and by that
time it is predicted that a thin
yearling of quality will cost as
much as a fat one.
There has been enormous con-
sumption of hog product. Eastern
demand for hogs at Chicago is of
unprecedented volume. Last week
shippers took 119. 107 of the 1886
hogs reaching Chicago, absorbing
the largest percentage of the crop
in trade history.
When slaughter conditions be-
come normal it is affirmed that a
reaction is possible, but packers
are going into the new year WIN
light stocks.
1t is forecasted that during the
ensuing u months bullocks weigh
ing 1,400 to 1900 pounds will be as
scarce as they have been plentiful
all through 1921. There is a prob
ability that demand for light cattle
will be given a severe test during
the next six months.
Horse trade is declared to be
showing activity. The trade ex-
poets early development of farm
business. Eastern dealers have
been in the market for pairs selling
at $500 and $3.50, but it is easier to
move chunks selling at 800 to
$165.

PROTEST RAISE
IN LAND VALUE
Delegation From County Farm
Bureau Before State Tax Com
mission in Chicago.

W. H. Moody, president of the
Rock Island county farm bureau,
and Charles A Larson, secretary,
have returned from Chicago, where
they joined other delegates from
many farm bureaus to register pro-
test against the 6 per cent increase
in land values which was recently
announced by the Illinois tax COM
mission
The commission was requested
not to override the equalization of
land values made in each county
by county boards of review. and
that no equalization be made of
one class of property without
equalizing other classes of prop
erty.
In 1920 the tax commission
changed the assessments in IS
counties of Illinois on one class
of property, locally assessed. with
out changing the assessment yalu-
alton of other property. The re-
suit was a net increased assess
ment of land in the state of $112,-
100000 Now it is proposed to add
6 per cent to the assessed valua-
ton of farm lands.
The delegation informed the
commission that last April through
the efforts Of the Illinois Agricul-
tural association a survey of farm
land values was made by commit
tees consisting of three farmers in
every township, and that it was
ascertained that hundreds Of farms
were being taxed on their supposed
value at the very peak OF the high
land prices, when a true cash value
was from 80 to so per cent low
er.
1t was pointed out that there was
no accurate basis for the determ-
nation of land values for taxation
purposes, and that lands were
being made to bear more than their
fair share of taxation.
1t was also claimed that the esti-
mates of county crop reporters are
unreliable, and that from 30 to 30
per cent of the crop reporters are
not active farmers.
1t was affirmed that there is q
vast amount of unassessed personal
property in the state, which IS not
visible like farm lands, and does
not bear it's just and equitable
share OF taxation.
The commission took the argu-
ments under advisement and will
announce a decision in the near
future.

from the day In 1918 when he was
dismissed as chief of police by the
civil service commission on charges
filed by Newton ID. Baker, at that
time mayor, of conduct unbecoming
an officer. Joining the police force
in 1889, Kohler walked a beat only
four years. Promotions came fast
and he was made chief in 1902. Dur
ing his incombency he promulgated
the Golden Rule"
DRINKS were sent home. First
offenders in minor matters were
released with a warning. Few ar
rests instead of as many as pos
sible was the rule. But the bars
were down hard and fast to
known crooks and thugs.
Twice Defeated.
Opposition to Chief Kohler first
broke out in 1910. He was sus-
pended by Mayor Herman Baehr.
but was exonerated by the civil
service commission. Upon his dis
missal by the commission on Mayor
Bakers charges, Kohler sought
election to the city council in 1913,
but was defeated.
The following year he tried for
sheriff on the Republican ticket
and again was defeated. In 1915 h.
ran for clerk of the municipal
court and lost again. The next
year he won the Republican nomi-
nation for county commissioner
But still he was unsuccessfuvl, be-
ing defeated in the election.
His persistency was rewarded
two years later, however, when he
was elected county commissioner.
He was the first Republican to be
elected TO the court house in eight
years. He was reelected in 1920 for
two years.
Three bushel baskets full OF let
tiers and kilograms of congratula-
tons have been received by the
mayor-elect from all over the
country.
Through the newspapers, Mt
Kohler appealed to the Chamber
of Commerce, the Federation ii
Women's clubs and various other
organizations TO suggest names OF
those best fit who will accept posi-
tions in his cabinet.
