One of the liveliest sessions of the farm bureau since it was organized was held by officers and county and lownhip directors of the bureau Monday, for the discussion of tax assessments and valuations on Wayne county land for the year 1922.

0 45 per cent reduction in farm land, rd 35 per cent reduction in farm improvements for taxation purposes in 1922. The bureau officials met in session with William Matthews, county ta nssessor, and after hearing an explanation of tax assessments and valuations from him, discussed the relation of present valuations to that of other property, for the purpose of fixing valuations on an equal-basis so that farms of the county, while bearins their "full share, may "not be loaded with more than their share of taxes. 1 The meeting was well attended, about 50 farmers being present, with every : township represented by several taxpayers. Discussion was earnest and at times vehement, as the different epreseutatives testified as to their oppressive tax charges. A committee was appointed finally to draw np a recommendation for the use of Tax Assessor-Matthews: The committee consisted of Ollie G. Hunt, of Franklin.' tbwnship, R: B. Morrow, ct Wayne, and Mark' M.

A. Pittinger of Delaware county at a meeting of the Webster township association in the Friends' church here Monday night. Showing that both business men's and labor organizations had at times used their power unwisely, and even selfishly, the speaker gave as examples the Adamson law, demanded during the war by labor, which imposed extravagant wages and work-
