1--WE have entered into a period OF
fundamental reconstruction of our
economics the speaker declared
adding. 1--WE are today the only ma
ton OF economic stability. We have
passed through the greatest crisis IL
the history of the United States anc
have done this without q financial
panic"
This unprecedented feat was at
tributed by Secretary Hoover TO the
mobility OF the federal reserve bank
system.
Because OF the federal reserve
bank every banker has been enabled
TO extend time and consideration TO
a greater extent than ever before un-
der similar conditions" he said.
Truths OF great Importance and
which proved revelations to the hear
ers were uttered by Secretary Hoover
in studied but unemphasized sem
tences. His method Of .discouse and
the great message he brought caused
every attention TO be focused upon
him so that the big dining room was
practically noiseless except for the
sound Of his voice.
In this Unconditional manner he de-
livered a verdict which caused a SEN
sation.
"Since. last July the economic con-
dition of the country has been con-
tinually on the upgrade. Proof of this
lies fundamentally in the fact that
credit has become easier
AS further proof he cited statistics
to show that where there were six
million unemployed in the United
States last August there were only
100000 out of work at the present
time.
REACH PERIOD OF REcUPERA-
TlON
1--WE have gone through the period
Of liquidation and are now in a pc
riod of recuperation," he said. I'VE
have gone through the worst period
Of unemployment this country has
ever known and in doing so have not
lowered our moral or economic stan
dard"
He cited as one reason for this
what he termed "the only advantage
of the late war: Thorough train
ing to mobilize and meet all emer-
gencies.
But his good news carried a
shadow:
"There is no hope for a reduction
OF taxes to any appreciable extent
for many years TO come" he stated.
"However, there is the possibility OF
an early reduction of railroad rates
and general Improvement OF railway
service"
To meet the problem Of taxation
Secretary Hoover advised the meth
cd which he considered best and
easiest would be to increase national
wealth so that the taxes would be
easier to carry. He pointed out two
ways to accomplish this: conserva-
tion OF manufacturing energy and
development OF natural resources.
AS an illustration of his point on
conservation the speaker told of
meeting of tire manufacturers who
brought out the fact there were 220
different sizes of automobile tires on
the market They reached an agree
ment whereby only 80 sizes are now
being produced. This conservation,
Herbert Hoover estimated. effects a
saving of $3.50. 100000 year,
A saving Of more than a billion
dollars a year, he said, could be ef-
fected If power production on the
coast could be linked into one line.
Reclamation Of land and develop
ment Of power were other factors
which the speaker considered essen
tial to building up the wealth Of the
nation.

The report said no provision had
been mde for raising revenue to meet

that mo new taxation nor special

added that any estimate of govern
ment expenditure for 1924 and the
amount of revenue needed on account
of the bonus would necessarily be
very inaccurate at this time"

Seven thousand, five hundred textile
operatives in seven cotton mills at

ALL WORK IN COAL
MINES SUSPENDED
STRIKE is DECLARED 100 PER
CENT EFFICIENT BY PRESI-
DENT LEWIS
RAILROADS TO CUT FORCES
In Pennsylvania Reports Say That
The State ConstabuIary Is Nov
ing From The Rural Districts
Into The Mine Fields.

| Chicago.-The first day of ths
coal strike saw 100000 mine workers
idle and $500 mines closed, accord
ing to estimates at international head
quarters of the United Mine Workers
of America at Indianapolis.
About 1900 open shop pits were
still working. They are in non-union
territory, which in all has been pro-
ducing about 40 per cent of the soft
coal output.
| John L. Lewis, international presi-
dent, declares the suspension of
work is 100 per cent efficient" by
the $4,000 union members, and he
says that nearly 100000 non-union
men have thrown in with the strikers
and are off their jobs. How far the
suspension affects the non-union
fields awaits a real check-up.
April l always is celebrated as a
holiday anniversary of the advent of
the eight-hour day for the miners,
and this may have cut down work
In some non-union pits.
AS it stands, the anthracite fields
which lie in Pennsylvania-are
closed down tight with 10000 miners
participating in the walk-out In the
bituminous fields about 100000 men
are reported out by the unions, max
ing total of 100000.
President Lewis again declared that
the tie-up instead Of being a strike"
is Suspension of work." due to the
fact that wage contracts expired Fri
day at midnight, and the workers are
now without any working or wage
agreement.
The unions ascribe this to the re-
fusal of the Pittsburgh operators to
enter four-state conference as stipu-
lated in the agreement of 1921.
In Pennsylvania reports say that
the state constabulary is moving from
the rural districts into the mine fields
In the Pittsburgh district, which re-
fused to enter into the four-state con-
ference, reduced wage scales have
been posted and the understanding
has been that efforts will be made
to operate the mines. This portion Of
the fields is expected to be one Of
the pivots of the strike, and so is
West Virginia and some of the other
non-union territory
Reports from Kansas were that the
mines were idle. The order of the
State Industrial Court extending the
old wage contract 80 days did not
prevent the men from quitting work.
The court said that it will not hold
idleness of the men a violation of
the court order unless the men re-
fuse to start work after coal now
accumulated in yards and on side
tracks runs out.

PROPERTY OWNERS SECURE AN
INJUNCTION PROHIBITING IN
FLATioN OF TAXES
COURT GIVES ITS DECISION
Sustains The Contention That The As
sessed Valuation OF Agricultural
Lands, Suburban Lands And
. City Lots Are Too High.

Monroe, La.-Judge Fred M. Odom
in a decision handed down in Sixth
District Court at Monroe recently in
the case of Guy P. Stubs VS. Joe Han
ma, Ouachita tax assessor, and the
Louisiana Tax Commission, sustained
the contention of the tax payers of
the parish, for whom the suit was
brought, that the assessed valuation
of agricultural lands, suburban lands
and city lots is too high.
Judge Odom also gave a decision in
the various Suits brought by Munhol,
land.Danwitz Company, 1. Baer Com
pany, Ltd, and others that the assess
or could not tax accounts Of 1921, in
accordance with a recent decision
of the Louisiana State Supreme Court
The case of Stubs against the as
SCISSOR was one Of the most important
suits in district court in years. 1t
was brought by the Ouachita Tax Pay
ers' League composed of several of
the leading tax payers of Ouachita
parish, including Monroe and West
Monroe.
Taxpayers at first petitioned the
Louisiana Tax Commission for relief
from high assessed valuation, claim
ing that Ouachita parish was being
Disseminated against, that lands in
Union and other parishes similarly
situated were not assessed at so great
a figure. At the same time the tax
payers of Monroe claimed that the as
sessments in this city were based on
fictitious valuations that were the re-
suit of boom times In 1919-1920.
The Ouachita parish police jury
adopted a resolution on November 10,
1921, protesting against the valuation
of farm, suburban and city property
and submitted it to the Louisiana
Tax Commission, but the Commission
turned down the protest on November
is on the grounds that there was not
sufficient basis for reduction in the
value of Ouachita lands. This was
followed by the organization Of the
Ouachita Taxpayers League and the
filing Of the suit by Mr.. Stubs, who
claimed that normal assessment Of
$125, 465 had been increased to $145,
210 and praying for writ of injunc-
ton directed to Joe Hanna ct al, re-
straining him from increasing the as
sessment of the petitioner and from
extending and placing any increase
on the assessment roll. The plaintiff
was represented by Attorney Percy

peal will be taken by the assessor to
