County Tax Assessors Will
Attempt to Increase Tax
alton Of Rail Properties,
1t Is Predicted.

OKLAHOMA CITY.-A hot fight on
the part of county tax assessors Of the
state for increased taxation of railroad
properties was predicted when the state
board of equalization met here today
to decide upon assessments for public
utility corporations. The meeting is
expected to last the greater part of
the week.
Despite the contention of some of the
board members that railroads are taxed
more per mile in Oklahoma than in
any Of the adjoining states and that
they are taxed all they can bear, tax
assessors in various countries are de-
manding that railroad property not
listed for taxation be assessed.
Oklahoma City is seeking to add more
than $1OO,0OO to railroad valuations in
the city.

which make carpet patterns for
foreign consumption. The United

present.
The manufacture of house and
Office furniture Is making rapid
strides. Two large Zionist's fac
tories are now busy producing all

and home for Palestine a. well as

are among the many other en-
