FARMERS DENOUNCE
TAX BOARD FIGURES
ON LAND VALUATION

Strong disapproval of the action of
the state tax commission in giving to
the Associated Press the figures of
sales showing that prices of farm land
apparently is below assessment values,
was heard at the meeting of Wayne
county farm bureau board of directors
in the court house Wednesday after
noon.
This set of figures was proved alb
solutely unreliable as criterion of
present land valuations said one of
the directors. 1--WE proved in a county
meeting, and showed by our figures at
the state tax meeting in Indianapolis,
that the sale figures showed war val
ues and did not show recent land sales
at true values"
A definite promise that land would
be assessed at its true cash value, and
that the deceptive sale figures would
not be used in fixing that value, was
made the federation tax committee or
10, said the farmers. A feeling of dis
appointment was manifested, that the
tax board had published the figures,
as it was feared the public and the tax
assessors might gain the wrong i'm
preston from the story.

the "glycerine' barrels into casks on
the dock which were in turn loaded
on trucks and whirled into the city
Capt. Docherty was convicted under
the Volstead Act and the ship libelled

Makes Tomorrow Special Sus-

Soldier Bonus BillATo Be
Debated.
WILL REPORT MEASURE
Gsy Associated rress)

WASHINGTON, March ga reso-
luton making tomorrow special sus-
pension day IN the house so as to con-
slider the soldier bonus bill under n
suspension of the rules. was approved
today by the rules committee without
a formal record vote.
Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee, said the house would meet
at ii a. M, an hour earlier than us
ual. and that there would be an hours
debate on the resolution before the
bonus bill was reported.
Only majority vote would be nee
cssary for the adoption of the resolu-
ton, which provides for four hours
debate on the bill. Chairman Ford
ney, of the ways and means commit
tee, will control two hours of the
time of the debate on the bill and
Representative Garner, of Texas, the
ranking Democrat on that committee,
will control the other two hours.
Representative Campbell and Rep
resentative Fordney said they would
place one hour of this time at the dis
posal of Representative Treadway, OF
Massachusetts, who opposes the bill.
Representative Garner said he would
allot one hour of his time to Demo
cratic supporters of the bill
Leaders Prepared.
Republican house leaders are pre-
pared for the final skirnish. They
look, however. for only comparatively
little opposition tomorrow when the
measure is to come up.
Four hours of debate are to pre-
cede the final roll call, set for before
adjournment. Half of this time is II
lie assigned to opponents for the fir
ing of the final shots at the compro
mise bill. Some leaders said they did
not expect the discussion to change
single vote, and they predicted that
far more than the necessary two-thirGs
majority would be claimed for the bill
Once the roll call begins, party
lines are expected to disappear. In
fact, those who have undertaken to
sound sentiment in that direction
think that there will be more oppo
sition votes from the Republicans than
from the Democratic side.
Some of those who plan to support
the bill said privately they were not
satisfied with all of its provisions
but would vote for it, convinced thai
it was the best legislation that could
be brought before the house at thi>
time.

HAVE NO HOPE
OF AvERTING
COAL STRIKE
Even Unexpected Decision Of
Operators to Meet Miners
Probably Would Not Stop
Suspension.
MINERS ARE READY
tBy Associated Press,

INDIANAPOLIS, March %, = No
hope was held out in union circles
here today that the coal strike set for
April l might be averted by govern
ment officials who have not entirely
abandoned the efforts to get a settle
ment, particularly in the soft coai
fields, in advance CT the day set for
the nation wide suspension of work.
1t is doubtful even if an unexpected
decision on the part of operators ot
the central competitive field to meet
the miners could stop the strike, which
it was pointed out, was authorized un-
less new wage contract had been
made by union officials and approved
by referendum vote of the miners.
With only 10 days intervening, until
April /, the time was said to be too
short for carrying out the unions pro-
gram for reaching settlement.
Though the union policy committee
now has authority to forestall the
strike, there was no indication that
any such action was contemplated.
Secretary William Green, the only Of
fetal of the International union at its
headquarters here, declined to COM
ment on the strike situation, other
than to declare the miners were ready
for a long suspension.
Resources Not Known.
The exact financial resources of the
union for carrying on the strike are
not known, but the international or
ganization has about 100000 cash on
hand last Aug. /. and a special assess
ment collected in November, Decem-
ber and January was understood to
have collected more than $1,G00,00o.
! No general strike benefit will be paid
by the international organization, but
it's funds will be used for assisting the
weaker district organization, it was
said.
! While the feeling in union circles
was that the miners were ready for
an indefinite holiday, no authoritative
| statement was obtainable as to the
| length OF such suspension.

! with large stocks in storage, the strike
was apparently expected by union Of
| ficials to have to continue until the
market is somewhat depleted before
they feel that the operators might be
willing to accept the miners in a wage
conference. Exact estimates of coal
! in storage was not available here to
