County Assessor Lyle E. Jay, and Charles Anda, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Wyoming attended the meeting held in Chey- enne as representative of Natrona county. Both returned here this morn- Ing. One of the most important accom- plishments of the meeting was the disapproval expressed by unanimous vote of the 60 people present against calling an extraordinary session ‘of. the state legislature. This situation occurred ‘despite the fact that 20 of} the counties represented had as their delegates men who haye extensive cat- tle, farm or ranch interests. It was: in behalf, of these latter people that the session was planned to afford nee- essary relief. While the impression is said to have still existed that Natrona county be- cause of its unique industrial attain- ments was in a better position to bear the burden of state taxation than those counties which are essentially depen- dent on the rural districts Mr: Jay said that he found that there was an evident desite on the part of the state board of equalization to co-operate with Natrona county in obtaining an understanding of the aims and de- sires of each. On the whole it is said that the outstanding result of the meeting was a better understanding of the state board by) all members who. attended the meeting. A decision was reached according to the statement of Mr. Anda on a modi. fied uniform assessment on livestock which will be put in effect in all sec- tions of the state. Nothing ‘definite was accomplished on the determina- tion of equitable assessment and slassification of all lands in the state} he said. ‘Among the recommendations made to the state board by the assessors, a| briet outline of the more important is made her The committes recommended that the state board of equalization shall fite all raises on property for equaliza- tion purposes on or before the first duction Deore BENEFICIAL RESULTS SEGUAED IN CONFERENCE OF STATE ASSEca0RG Policies Outlined ‘Which Will Equalize Tax Burden of State; Calling of Extra Session of State Legislature Is Opposed Although the-annual assessors’ meeting which was held in Cheyenne this week and attended by at least two members *| you are born at sermon time on Christ- BY DAUGHERTY BRANDED FALSE No Combine of Retgil Dealers to Maintain High Prices, President of Ad Clubs Asserts. OMAHA, Dec. 23—Charles Henry MacKintock of Chicago, president of the Associated Advertising clubs of the World, told the Omaha chamber of commerce today that an understand ing among retailers tending to keep prices high, such as referred to yes terday by Attorney General Daugher ty In his call for a price investigation, “could not exist to any practical ex- tent.” “One hundred per cent perfect or ganization is not posstbl ‘in any trade, industry or branch of commerce in which there are large numbers’ of individuals and nothing leas than 100 per cent organization among retailers could hold retail prices at an abnormal levet. » The fail ure of even two or three retailers in an entire elty to co-operate in such an endeavor would automatically null- ify the combination of all the rest, since the buying public naturally goes where its money will buy the most, and the trade of any town would grav- itate inevitably into the hands of the merchants who kept thamnseives out of ‘entangling alliances’ “As an inevitable result the mer- chant in the Alliance would be com pelled to meet competition or close their doors for lack of customers. “It would seem logical to look for combinations in restrain of the law of supply and demand in quarters where effective combinations are pussible— such as in highly organized and close, ly specialized branches of (production rather than among the loasely knit factors of distribution. —s——_ Mrs. Ferris, the new mayoress of the town of Devizes, in Wiltshire, tbe pla ere mew, aber 21 counties, cut short its ses- d was accomplished, it is said, on or before the first Monday in Oc- tober annually.
