Increase
The decrease in the valuations would
mean an increase in the mill tax even
though the budgets for this and next
year remained the same. The one for
next year, however, is approximately
$4,000 more than this years, which
further increases the tax rate.
The state loan levy has been elimin-
ated entirely for next year, since all of
the state bonds have now been retired.

this year for the various governments
and what will be collected next for each

stantly Thought He

nothing related TO his sensational
direct testimony.

meeting with Broome where the

investors was questioned. II took
place May 20, 1895, about six weeks
before the session with sales man
ayers described by Witness Nal
colin p. Christensen last week.
Il asked Broome why the files
and records in the Spokane office
were being wrapped and taken
from the office Engler testified.
II told him what Lew Tusing IAN

CARDINALS AT
ROME SELECT
PACELL| VICAR
Secretary of State
Under Plus XI New
Spiritual Ruler of
Worlds Catholics

VATICAN CITY-Eugenio
Cardinal Pacelli. secretary of
state under Pope Plus ri, was
elected 262nd pope today and
will rule for the rest of his
life as head of the Roman
Catholic church, Vicar of
Christ and Spiritual Father of
332, 000,O0 Catholics through
out the world, under the title
of Plus XII.
The conclave was one of the
shortest in history of the Catholic
church-requiring only one day on
which the 81 cardinals actually
voted, although the conclave start
ed last night. Apparently only
three ballots We're taken.
The new pope is comparatively
young. his election coming on his
SD birthday. He was born on
March 2, 1876, of middleclass Rom
an parentage.
The pope is regarded as bril-
liant statesman who was behind
the main policies of Plus N. I'm
der his administration as secretary
of state. the lateran accord was
reached with the Italian govern
ment. restoring the temporal pow
er of the popes and ending their
sen-imposed Imprisonment in the
Vatican.
The election was announced
TO n great crowd in 81. Peters
Square at $3.50 p. m, by
plume of white smoke from
the siIyer-cOyered chimney Of
the Sistine chapel, where the
81 cardinals voted.
The smoke came from their
burning ballots. If it had been
black, as it was after the first
two votes this morning, 1t would
have signified no election.
A mighty shout went up. People
cheered and embraced. shouting in
Italian. White. We have a new
pope"
For the first time. the Vatican
used radio and loud speakers to
make announcements.
Bv noon there were 35. 900 peo-
ple damned in the Place of VAN
tage.
Inside the area where the
cardinals and their aides were
isolated from the world. the
cardinals had attended mass
and then assembled in the
Sistine chapel for the voting.
Each cardinal wrote out MS can
didate on his ballot. In turn, the
cardinals had advanced 10 the altar
with his ballot held high over MS
head between thumb and fore
finger. He had knelt and said IN
q loud voice.
II call upon the Lord Christ,
who will judge me. to witness
that I elect him whom ] judge
according 10 God should be
elected"
He had then arisen. assembled the
altar and placed ms ballot on a
platen. a shallow dish. Then he
had dropped it in a large silver
chahce. which was the ballot box.
