TIMES III RKA(,
AT STATE l Al'l'iAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 7. County
assessors are holding a meeting here
and they are hot in the midst of a dig
cussion of the question of whether to ask the Legislature to increase their salaries. They talked over the matter
in a secret session yesterday evening
and will try again this afternoon. W
E. Black of Lake county is here and holds different views to some of the
officials.
Most of the a-r-rsors are In favor of asking for the increase, but a good
many are afraid the legislature wiU not
give It to them. In the meeting quite
a number pointed out that the assessors could probably get something from the
legislature if they do not ask too much
One matter under consideration Is to
extend the terms of the present asses
sors for two years. It happens that the
terms of all county assessors and al
township assessors expire two years
hence. , The county assessors believe
that their terms should be extended two
years so as to make ther terms expire In- a.. yar when th township jusesors
hold over, thus not having all of them
go out of office at the same timet. Some
of them thought that If they would ask the legislature to extend their terms it would do so, because tt would not be any expense to anyone, but that if they tacked this provision on to the tail end of a bill to increase salaries the legislature would defeat the whole thing. Another thing the county assessors want is to have the matter ot record
ing mortgage exemptions taken from the county auditor and turned over to the county assessor. In this way the assessors would get more money, bocause there is a fee for the recording of mortgage exemptions. They think they can get this, too if they do not ask for a salary Increase. One of the county assessors that was not in favor of asking a salary Increase Is William E. Black, of Lake county. He says that while he does not get as much salary as he should have, yet he knew the condition when he took the
office, and that if he had not been willing to do the work for the price he should not have taken It. He says, that
If he Is not satisfied he ought to quit. Black has the worst job of any county assessor in the state, because there are so many changes in land ownership in Lake county. The county assessors are holding a conference with the state tax board, as provided by the law, and one of the main subjects under consideration is how to bring about a uniform assessment of property all over the state. Governor Marshall made an address on this subject. He said he would recommend to the Legislature certain amendments in the tax law to help bring about this condition. He says, however, that it Is a very difficult matter for a township or county assessor to make a uniform assessment at the true cash value of property, because of the frailties of human nature. Judge Timothy E. Howard, the father of the present state tax law which created the state tax board and the office of county assessor, by a bill which he prepared and introduced in the Senate in 1891, when he was a member, made a speech before th conference In which he gave a history of
th law- and his views on it. He said
that up to that time the taxing department of the 'estate was in a deplorable condition. Since then the valuation of railroad property alone has been Increased from 170,000,000 to more than $200,000,000. Power to list omitted property should be given' to the state tax board, he said, and he thought there should be more power vested In county boards of review. One of the Interesting persons at the meeting is Richard H. Genge, county assessor of St. Joseph county. He is the first county assessor in the state to assess the franchises of public service corporations. Ho says the corporations
fought mm Dut ne mane tne assessments stick. "Franchises of public service corporations ought to be assessed," he said. "They are of great value, and there Is no reason why the companies should not pay taxes on them."

ROADS LAY OFF
Several thousand employes of rail
roads with general offices In Chicago have been laid oft In pursuance of a
policy to slash expense Items and cut down working forces.
Among the lines to make the heaviest
reductions is the Illinois Central Rail
road. Men some of whom have been In the service of the company for years were notified Jan. 1 last that their serv
ices will not be required after Jan. 1C.
When these employed inquired why
their names are to be eliminated from
the pay roll they were told that tha
company had decided to "cut aown ex
penses as far as possible."
Among those who received dlscharg
notices were eight employes In tho
traffic department and a similar num
ber In the general freight office. Forces
in various other departments either have been or soon will be reduced.
It is also reported that a fiat cut of
10 per cent In the salaries of employes
In the transportation department - has
been ordered. This was denied by off!-.
cials of the company. Among otner-
railroads entering Chicago which are curtailing their working forces la th
Erie. ' f
In view pf tho fact that the railroads
have been enjoying an unusual era of prosperity, news that they are reducing ths number of their employes was a cause for surprise In transportatioa circles yesterday. . When asked eon-
cerning the action taken by the Illinois Central Company, T. J. Foley, assistant
general manager, said: "We always are seeking to cut dowit. expenses. A number of men have been eliminated from the service, but they represent a comparatively small percentage of our total working force. As I understand It the condition Is about
the same on other Chicago roads."

LEGISTATORS SIMM AT THE STATE CAPITAL
TIMES BiRE.tr, ling bill which was before the legisAT STATE CAPITAL. latura at the last session and which Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 7. Already proposed to improve tenement condlthe members of the Legislature are ar- tlons in Indiana. He was also on hand riving in town and getting settled In every time anything was to be done to places to live during the session, and help kill the franchise referendum bill
THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES MORE . TIMES CIRCULATED
EVERY DAPT THAN ALL THE OTH ER DAILY PAPERS IN LAKE COUN TY PUT TOGETHER,
with every new arrival there is fresh talk about the caucuses that are to be held tonight and the distributions of Legislative patronage. Thomas Taggart is expected to arrive tonight or tomorrow and remain until after the session is started and everything Is running smoothly. He wants to see the "boys" get a good start before returning to E'rench Lick. And present indications are that there will not be any hitches in the Taggart program. It provides for the election of Homer L. Cook, of this city, for speaker of the House; S. N. Cjuillen, of Llnton for clerk of the house, and Paul. Hill, of Greenoastle, for assistant clerk, although the latter arrangement may be changed so as to put in Fhil Luts of Boonvllle, as assistant secretary, pavid I'oer, of Shelby county appears to be out of the running for House doorkeeper, but you never can tell about it. Taggart and his forces have not taken any part in the race for doorkeeper. Frank Swett, a union plasterer and business agent for the Plasterer's Union in this city, has become a candidate for this place, and so has Douglas Bolser, of New Castle. Swett has a good following. The senate will elect Wade Free sec
retary,' and probably will elect Smith Askren. of Corydon, assistant secretary.
This has been the plan for some times.
Jack Sheu, of this city, will be the
senate doorkeeper.- But the Dmocratlc
Senators. are going to have a hard time electing a president pro tern, who will
also be the Democratic floor leader.
Senator Stotsenburg, of New Albany,
was the floor leader two years ago, but there was so much newspaper criti
cism of his connection with the bi
partisan combine that he says he does not want the place again. Senator Kistler, pf Logansport, was one of the active leaders In the Senate, but because of his corporation connections and his record on matters in which the interests were interested there is a dis
position to make him go way back and sit down in a quiet corner at this scpslon. Reactionary Democrats will be In control of the Senate, and this makes It practically certain that the floor leader will be a man of their kind, and the choice appears to lie between Senator Harlan, of this city, and Senator Houck, of . Lawrcnceburg. Harlan is a reactionary and belongs to the crowd that will be in control. H Is the man that actually killed the hous-
on Senator Grube. Senator Houck belongs to the same crowd and he was about as satisfactory to the interests as Harlan. Senator B. B. Shively, of Marlon, would like to be floor leader, but he is too progressive for the reactionary majority, and he stands no show whatever. Along with the arrival of members of the legislature there has come also a long line of Job hunters who want places In the legislature. Some of them will get Jobs and many will not. The House and Senate plunder committee have decided on thirty day appointments, this changing the employes In the middle of the session. Lobbyists are showing up, too. A number of these fellows have arrived
