Diamond chattels are sold by h

One of the first things a big league
manages asks himself when he looks
over a player on the minor markets
is, How much do his feet know
When he sees how the youngster

STATE TAX LEVY
STILL IN DOUBT
TO MEET AGAIN
Conference With Governor
and Auditor Results in
No Decision.

After an hours conference Of the State
board Of tax commissioners and Governor
Warren T. McCray and Auditor William
g. Oliver today It was announced no de-
cision had been reached as to the State
tax levy and that another conference
would be held later. Members of the tax
board said some Of the departments are
holding out for higher rates than we
are willing to grant
Attorney General Z. s. Lesh made
public an opinion stating that the tax
board. with the approval of the Gov
ern0r and the auditor, may levy a tax to
take are Of deficiency appropriations
for the teachers pension fund. The ap-
preparation was made by the 1921 Legis-
lature, but no provision was made for
raising the money.
1t is understood the pension fund
officials are asking for a levy of one
half of I cent on each 500 Of taxable
property, but that the taxing officials
wish lower levy.
The latest statement at the office Of
the tax board is that the levy will not
exceed - cents. although several days
agO the statement was made by an en-
ploye that il would be in the neighbor-
hood of 2S cents.
In order to raise the funds that have
been appropriated and to take care OF
levies made directly by the Legislature,
many officials say that 2S cents is nearer
to the correct figure than p cents. The
political aspect of an Scent increase In
the tax levy, however, would not be a
pleasant one to face. and it is believed
the tax board and the Governor, as Wen
as the auditor. are using every effort to
keen the levy down. This may result
in the inability Of the State to raise
sufficient money to meet some of the ap-
preparations. thus resulting in a serious
situation necessitating, at least, the
fra usfaI of funds.
