The County Tax Levy.
m
The Marlon county commlbsloners
court will, nt its regular January meet
ing, this week, fix the tnx levy for this
county. Computing the state tax levy
on an oinnllil proporty vnluntlon for
the county, as fixed by tho county
board or equalization, nt $8,020,882. the
state levy for .Marlon county will be
5 4-10 mills. Any estlmnto at this time
as to the levy for the county would
be entirely problematical.

on the part of the Panama Company,
and is nil that Amorlca desires at

general movement or Western railroad
employes for a wage advance is rap
idly approaching a crisis is. evidenced
by the early arrival of many dologatos
to the national conference, to be held

ceived and acted Uion. It Is declared
that the conference will represent fill
ly 175,000 railroad employs, and will
be participated In by the national
brotherhoods of the engineers, fire
men, trainmen ami conductors. It is
the culmination or efforts wltlch have
been making for more than five yearn
to Induce the four big organisations to
"get together" for Uielr mutual ben
efit. While It Is difficult to learn the
exact nature of the report to be sub
mitted by the committees, It Is said on
good authority Utat the wheedle which
