TAX VALUATIONS
IN CHAMPAIGN
ARE UNEQUAL

Tax valuations in Champaign upon
which the next tax levy will be rade
are said to vary from rs per cent to
200 per cent, by citizens who claim
to have made comparisons ,of prop
erty, the approximate value Of which
is known to them.
Ii is complained that there appears
to be no systematic basis upon which
property is valued. How to account
for the fact that one property Is as
sessed 500 and another of the same
value is assessed $i15 and still anoth-
er, which in point of value should be
rated higher than either, is assessed
only $50 is a question that puzzles a
few interested citizens who are
quick at figures.
"Few tax payers understand the
complex system by which taxes are
rated" said one citizen who believes
that gross mistakes have been made.
"But there are many who flnd II
difficult to believe that relative
values of real estate should be SO
loosely estimated as is indicated In
the published reports"
"The discrepancy is equally as
great with reference to personal prop
erty. Apparently one may shut his
eyes and guess what the rate Of taxa
ton should be and come as near a fair
estimate as the assessors have done.
The assessors wherever additional
work was required in making the new
valuation which comes every puad-
rennium, were allotted additional
funds to hire assistants. This was
done in Champaign this spring, but
in the opinion of many who think
their property valuations and assess
ments have been carelessly estimated,
the town board has not been justlned

STAHL CHOSEN
AS SECRETARY
OF c. OF G..

Charles M. Stahl has been chosen
as leader of the Chamber of Com
merce in Champaign, to fill the
vacancy resulting from the resigna-
tion of l.. l.. Lamkins early in June.
Mr.. Stahl will assume the duties
of secretary in the Chamber within
the next few weeks.
Efforts have been made by the
Board of Directors to secure man
who has the ability TO put the organ
lzation on sound financial basis.
This will be the chief responsibility
resting upon the secretary during his
first year in the office. Whether he
will be able to do this will depend,
it is thought, upon his ability TO mix
with the members of the organization,
and thereby promote a good feeling
within the ranks.
Lately the membership has been
decreasing, mainly through failure of
members to pay their membership
dues, thereby automatically dropping
out of the organization. Recently,
by order of the board of directors,
large number of names were
dropped from the membership roll.
Some of these have moved out of the
city, but many of them are said to
still reside in Champaign, though
they manifest no interest in the or
ganization.
There is a place, business men be-
lieve, for the Chamber of Commerce
in Champaign that connot be filled by
any other organization. This, il is
said, has been shown by the steps
taken in the Chamber of Commerce
which led to the new improvements on
the Illinois Central railroad. 1t Is
pointed out that a civic body, organ
lied and promoted for the general
good, with no restrictions as to men,
bership and with dues placed at
figure within the reach of all, is a
necessary institution in a city the size
of Champaign.
1t is understood that Mr.. Stahl is
friendly to Labor. That is a strong
point in his favor in Ithe judgement of
Union men. No organization can eX-
pect to be successful in large way
that deliberately ignores or attacks
the cause of Union Labor, by espous-
ing the cause of the open shop.
Union Labor believes that the
Chamber of Commerce should con-
tribute to the advance of the prin-
ciples laid down by the Federation of
Labor. If this is done in Champaign
it will be largely through the tact
and courage of the secretary.
Union Labor is not satisfied with
a merely neutral Chamber of Com
merce. 1t believes that its cause
should be defended by the continuous
policy of the Chamber of Commerce
in Champaign.
When the Chamber was under the
management of l.. E. Lamkins, MEM
bers of the Twin City Federation of
Labor were gratifed when the cause
of the open shop received no courte-
sizes from that organization, even
though at one time advocates of the
open shop had laid their plans well
to control the Chamber in the inter
est of their propaganda. This atti-
tude placed the Chamber of Com
merce on a neutral plane in one sense,
but in another it was made clear that
nothing would be done through the
organization that could be construed
as antagonistic to Labor, which Union
men accepted as virtual defense of
their cause.
If this policy is consistently carried
ont under the management Of Mr..
Stahl, Union Labor will have no cause
to complain.

"The labor element is not the Oh
stacle that people have been led TO
believe" said Mr.. Sanders. "A fa--
n er can make more money from a
few acres of beets than from a large
area of alfalfa. 1t is no more WORK
to grow sugar beets than to raise and
store potatoes. The returns are much
greater. / do not believe it necessary
nor advisable to import labor for

hold his acreage down to the amount
he can care for properly. We hope
to contract ample acreage to run the

of growers.

This statement was made by Mr..
Wilson, formerly connected with the

cotton and sugar.
This week the company will start
out to sign up contracts with farmers

prepare their ground for planting.
This should be done this fall. Five
or six acres from each farm will be
the amount sought by the company.

FERNLEY WOMAN
INVENTS NECESSITY

Mrs. K. H. Rawles of Fernley is
preparing to place on the market r
kitchen necessity that has attracted
the attention of large manufacturers
and ii seems more than probable that
she will make a handsome return
from her patent together with the
copy right envelope.
The patent grant is for the "Kleen-
and Prepared Stove Cloth" 1t is
a properly prepared piece of cloth
filled with a patented compound that
cleans and polishes. coal, oil or cleo
tic stoves, Furnishes brass, copper
or other metal trimmings and does
not soil the hands, boon to the
housewife and has been tried out by
many in and about Fernley. In fact
she has bid from big
manufacturing concern to take over
the product and market it wholesale.
Mrs Rawles left last week to meet
with the eastern manufacturers and
II is probable that she will sign up a
contract for the manufacturing and
sale of her patent.
A number of the cloths have been
sold in this community and were on
exhibit at the fair. 1t is the small
but useful inventions that make the
monev and there is every indication
that Mrs. Rawles has hit on one that
will be a profit maker.
The copyright envelope is very at
tractive and was designed by the
lady which in itself will help sell the
article.

Means Business
In an interview Mr.. George E.
Sanders, president, stated that the
company is satisfied with the out
look or they would not be here, and
that there will be an endeayor to en-
ter into contracts with growers this
fall so that there will be no question
as to the supply for sugar making
another fall.

fifty per cent of the full return from

for one season, but as a permanent
industry for western Nevada.

They were e. ]. Graberg. Joseph
Smith Mr.. Nelson, S. Palmer and

considerable enthusiasm over the
prospect for growing beets here. On
Monday they visited ranches around
Fernley and Reno.

and will grow sugar beets in large
quantity and of high sugar content

improvements are a great advantage

dent who explained the plan.

Excellent examples of fancy work
were on exhibition from every dis
trict of the county. This was a mat
ter that required the keenest judg-
ment in awarding prizes as there was
so much of excellent character that
more time was put in on this display
than any other subject. Elko county

goats with a few excellent examples
Of draft horses. Poultry was shown
in all its variety. turkeys, ducks,
geese, chickens and one pen of tur-
kens by Mr.. and Mrs Murray. They
attracted a lot of attention and will
probably lead to more people raising

keys.
The display of pure-bred cottle
was a feature and some of the prize
winners are of national note, espec-
tally the cows from the Longheath
farm.
One of the most interesting ex-
hibits at the pavilion was that of
honey with the methods of hiving,

that this was one of the best exhibits
of its kind shown on the coast and
that some of the examples of honey
