The Atwater Method of Placing Tax Burden
 Upon the Home Owner

The Democratic candidate for Mayor Mr. Fred AtWateT, bas through his manager MT. John A. Cornell caused Certain statements to be made with regard to the issuing of Certificates of Error by the Tax Assessor, objecng to these because they contrary to the law well as to morality.
 It seems strange that Mr. Atwater should have taken this position at this time for he has very evidently plshed most surprising change of heart and since his nomination for Mayor has gained new conception of business morality. The following facts speak for them selves.
 In 1918, The Columbia Nut and Bolt company of which Mr. AtWater is President and head filed its tax list under the statement of MT. Atwater personally, to the following effect The land and buildings claimed by him to be worth S1 OOO. This of course of Sep tember 1918, and s in spite of the fact that in August of 1917 he had given mortgage on the same property to the City National Bank for s2oooo He stated under the heading of "Average amount of goods hand of manufacturers for whole part of year preceding date of s including stock and finished and unfinished product that all of this property was worth s24 and the raised this latter figure to s62OoO The Board of Relief left there. Then Mr. Awater, through his counsel of the most prominent Democrats in the City, went to the Tax Assessor and stated that some eei must be given him. that he losing money and could not pay taxes the amount of property contained on his tax list and the counsel stated that some consdera ton must be shown to Mr. Atwater because of the seri ous financial condition of the business Under these ditions, Certificate of Error was granted to The Column bia Nut and Bolt Company reducing the valuation from
 In the year 1919, for the same item, Mr. Atwater stated under oath that the value of the property described above s24,5oo The Assessors raised the value to S75OOO. An appeal to the Board of Relief lowered this amount to S4oOoO, and then again. through his able counsel Mr. Awater made his plea of inability to- pay and the necessity of consideration, and received Ger cate of Error br gng the value of his property down to SPA, 500.
 In spite of all the prosperity of Bridgeport during the past years the valuation of the property upon which Atwaer's company pays taxes was less for 1920 than it was for 1913.
 NOTE-Mr Atwater's in this
 direction is less noteworthy than the
 success of the combined manufacturers of
 Bridgeport who have succeeded in
 enpting nearly $1OO 100000 of taxable
 property through false erroneous tax
 statements.

Longer Hours, Less Coin, Best for Workmen-Fred Atwater Shortening time of labor means more time to loaf in saloons. !. ..


 '"The work and the less money they have the better off they are said Fred Atwaer treasurer of the Columbia Nut & Bolt Company of this city, today when asked his opinion of the plans for general eight hour day in Bridgeport machine shops 'It would be the worst thing that could happen" MT. Atwater declared. "To reduce their working time from ten to eight hours would be simply to give them power to loaf around the saloons. Bridgeport would be the for all the undesirable workmen floating around cities in the east Then better off when they are working That's my opinion drawn after observing them for fifteen years'
 "If they work and have less to spend they will be happier It's no kind of business proposition" de- c1ared Mr. Atwaer, it simply means twenty per cent increase in expenses with much good and little harm derived"
 Asked f in his opinion, Bridgeport would get an eight hour day generally he declared he had idea said his firm will have to wait and see what other man factuers do they go in for the eight hour day he said he didn't see how it could be avoided by the Columbia Nut & Bolt Co.
 MT. Atwater reminded that scientific investiga- ton has shown that eight hour day greater eff ciency for the morkman and better results Not true' he said, Eff works conscentously he can do so much pecewok and the change in the number of hours isn't going to improve his work ',>> <.,z.. .>>

ENROLMENT IN
/. HIGH CLASSES
BREAKS RECORD
Larger Number This Year Than
Ever Before-Mere Than
LOCO Signed Up.

All records for registration at
the Moline high school were bro
ken this year. More than one thou
sand students have signed up dur
ing the first three days of school.
The early enrolment last year was
less than 500. Principal Nutting
estimated the number of incoming
students this fall at about nine
hundred.
The large number of students
has played havoc with carefully
MANNED schedules. When these
we're arranged for the year it was
in the belief that between 900 and
a7b pupils would enroll. All classes
In rpuuired courses and nearly all
in elective studies have reached the
limit of registration which is 30.
Registration for commercial
arithmetic, penmanship, bookkeep-
ing. zoology and physiology have
been so heavy that a few students,
those signing UP last. have been
compelled to choose other studies.
The situation may reach the stage
where an extra instructor will be
necessary. Mr.. Nutting said this
morning, however, that he would
not ask the board for an additional
faculty member II any other ar
rapgement could be made.
