friend of some influential politician.
 This condition became finally public scandal. At last the state tax commission took q hand.
 A year ago. the commission order ed reassessment of all real proper ty in Cook county. and threw out the old assessment. Then. bearing in mind state law that calls for equality in assessments, it ordered the assessment here to be made on the same basis as the assessment down state.
 This last item was to cause trouble later. At the moment, how ever. no one noticed it, and the work of reassessing Cook county's %.O00,- 900. pieces of real property, worth more than 5000, 0,00Q,000, got under way.
 Result is Disastrous
 The reassessment began early this year and was to have been finished in six months. It is not nearly com pleted yet, and no one seems to know just when it will be.
New Britain herald., 1929-11-29

The result has been 8imple-and disastrous.
 No real estate taxes in this city or county have been collected since the old assessment was thrown out None can be collected until the new one is completed. No one in Cook county has paid a dollar in real es- tate taxes for more than year. Tax bills cant be mailed out for at least another six months.
 To tide over this shortage the city has been issuing tax anticipation warrants, held by local banks. Under the law, however. these can be is- sued only up to 75 per cent of the anticipated tax levy. Now the city has gone the limit It can't issue any more warrants. and it cant pay for the ones it has issued.
 The result. Of course, has been a tremendous drop in the city and county incomes. But that Is not all,

Then. in August, came the great series of prohibition raids. Butler, as it happened, had submitted to the federal men q long list of places where booze was being sold openly. Most of the places he named n Indiana Harbor and East Chicago were raided; but of 150 names he submitted in Gary, only 14 were raided. At all events, however, the raids netted some 800 prisoners.
 Some dozens of the men who had given Butler evidence of election frauds, and who had been called before the grand jury or were ready 10 appear before subsequent grand juy, were among those indicted for liquor violations.
 Another grand jury, called 10 handle the prohibition cases, began 10 look into the election frauds and then dropped the inquiry. Still another one was promised-but. 70 date. nothing has been done. The election fraud scandal has not, O far. resulted in one arrest or indicc- ment.

 Meanwhile, the men indicted in the prohibition cases have been coming up for sentence Two have gone 10 prison. The rest Of them are drawing suspended sentences, Among them arc dozens Of men who gave Butler evidence concerning the the election scandal.

POLITICS BLAMED FOR CHICAGO WOES
FaVoritism, Graft, and ExtraYa-
 8ance Found in Windy City

Chicago, Nov. 99-When political incompetence and favoritism keep working long enough, the chickens that they hatch out eventually come home to roost. Which is why Chicago and Cook county today find them- selves in desperate financial straits.
 Americas second largest city, and the county of which it IS a part, are broke. Tn fact, by the end of the year they will be some $1S,O00,000 in the hoIc-and the end is not yet. This is due, primarily, to two things:
 First, the fact that governmental officials here have had q gay and caretrce way of spending public funds without always insisting on getting value received.
 Second, the fact that these off, cials have had many friends. and have been very kind to them.
 Can't Collect Taxes
 ENtraNaganCC and plain, ordinary incompetence have sent cXpendi- lures soaring. Favoritism to large groups of taxpayers has brought about d situation in which the city and county arc unable 10 collect q cent of real estate tax money.
 Within recent years there has been much inequality in real estate tax assessments in Chicago and Cook county. A certain building would have an assessed valuation. say, of $50,000; another building on the same street, identical in real value, would be assessed for S10,000 because the owner happened to be a

deficit and get within next years re- sources. But that is impossible be- cause it would cripple the fire, police and health departments.
 Then we could increase the tax rate. hy special authority Of the legislature, and fund the deficit. Or we could drop the equalization factor and assess property values on the old basis.
 (Which will be done I haven't the faintest Idea. But city bond holders will not suffer, Our bonded debts will be paid 100 cents on the dol lar"
 Here is an example Of the in competence, favoritism and cXtrava- gance that caused all this.
 Cook county has board called the sanitary commission, which is in charge of keeping Lake Michigan's s waters free from sewage pollution. This board, according 10 com- potent authority, could, for all the work it IOcs. be q simple bureau in the department Of public works. But

value. Chicago assessed it at 52 per cent. The new assessment, in coln- piiance with the equality law. is be- ing made on the doWnstate rate. Consequently, Chicagos new tax Naluation-When it finally comes- will be $55O, O,000.OOO below the old figures.
 This means that when tax money is finally collected again. the city's income will be approximately $5.- 500,000 below its former level. To make matters worse. the city author ities estimated that it would show. for 1928, it's normal increase of Sl,- 100000. Thus, it will have some $6,600.0OO less than it had planned on and appropriated for.
 'The city will finish this year with q corporate operating fund deficit ot about $13,000,0O0,' says V. $, Pet terson. deputy city comptroller. "Therc are only three possible remedies.

Whole fields of alfalfa, numer-

been invaded by the rabbits" Har.
rigan stated today. 'lThero has al
ways been certain amount of dam
age caused by these pests, but this
year they are more numerous than
ever bcfcrc.'
To stop the nuisance, Harrigan
has declared war on the rabbits and
has enlisted the aid Of valley ranch
ers, to help in the campaign.
The following statement by the
Horticultural commissioner, gives in
structions for conducting the battle
against the pests:
Rabbits may be destroyed best
by poisoning or driving, and these
methods to be fully effective in any
given district must be applied co
opcrativcly.
"ln giving methods for DESTROY
ing jack rabbits, it must be admit
ted that no specific control has been
developed and results can Ee expect
ed only after the trial of one or
more types of procedure. Pre- bait
ing with small quantities of un-
poisoned bats Of various types, is
advisable.
"In most cases in poisoning Jack
rabbits, feeding grounds or runways
ought to be definitely located Dur
ing many seasons of the year root
vegetables or cull fruit bats, poison
ed with strYchnIne, are very cffec-
tive, especially when a small quaint
ty of salt is added. Moist poisoned
alfalfa leaves have often proved
very effective during the summer
and fall when natural feed has dried
up. When rabbits are feeding on
alfalfa crowns after the last fall
cutting or after pasturing, small
handfuls Of the leaves are readily
taken. Drags in plowed land will
often create runway in which the
bats can be laid. In all cases, live
stock should be excluded from places
where poisoned bats are placed for
rabbits. The nature of exposure of
the bats, namely in piles, demands
such action
