Governor-elect Dunne will ask the legislature to abolish the State Hoard of Equalization. Many people believe that tho body has outlived its usefulness. The Governor-elect show his fear lessness and absence of party bias In this move, when It Is remembered that In the closing of this board at tho late election, but one Republican was elected, Frank P. Martin of Wat seka, In the Cannon district, an old member. Four Democrats wero re elected, D. E. Sullivan from the Fourth district, Chicago; Louis D. Hlrshelmer, from tho Jacksonville district; A. W. Crawford, from tho Springfield district, and H. G. Weber, from the Vandalla district. The six new Progressives are Charles W. Socord, Chicago, Second district; W. A. Mnlone, Chicago, Sev enth district; Horry T. Nightingale, Evanston, Tenth district; Fred H. Ackerman, Elgin, Eleventh district; George C. Tallcrday, Delvldere, Twelfth district, and Isaac N. EvanB, Mllledgevllle, Thirteenth district. "Wo should have a taxing commis sion Instead," says Governor-elect Dunne, "properly selected and clothed with sufllclent power to bring about a change for the better and an equal distribution of tho burden of taxa tion. "Instead of meeting for forty daya that board should sit through tho wholo year, have efficient asslstanco and travel from county to county, making proper Investigation and as sessments against tho property of cor porations. And we can do this under tho present law without amending tho constitution." DEATH OF PETER FORTUNE. In tho denth of Peter Fortuno Chi cago lost ono of Its very best citizens. Identified with tho growth of tho city from tho tlmo when Its population and Influence wero small, ho kept pace with It nnd took part In every movement which Increased Its prom inence and helped to mako Chicago great.

Simple In his tastes, ho was generous to a fault and an army of friends testify to his many good qualities. In tho business world no man was moro highly respected. His name was a synonym for honesty. Mr. Fortune, who was a widower for many years, leaves a daughter, Miss Joanna Fortune and n sou, John L. Fortuno. Petor Fortuno was bom at Round town, County Wexford, not far from Dublin, Ireland. When very young he went to work for a grocer In Dub lin, but left this employment to como to the L'nlted States In ISS-l.

In 1S02 ho es tablished tho Fortuno Brothers' Brew er In partnership with his brother, John. They browed alo exclusively from 18C2 to 1870, when Fortuno Brothers' commenced tho browing of lager boer.

Ryan, tho well-known lawyer and former city attorney, stands high In tho estimation of all Chlcagoans both as a lawyer and as a citizen. The enormous dividends paid to lu stockholders by tho Telephone Trust are wrung from tho pockets of the people by excessive telephone charges. Telephone rates must bo reducod and In time they will bo. Tho fact that one city council will barter away the people's rights Is no reason why succeeding council! should do the same. The fight for cheaper telephone service will go on until It Is won. Competition and lowor rates in the telcphono field are demanded by the peoplo of Chicago. Hn ntrnnir la thltt fnnlltiv crrAurlnir among oil classes of the community j that tho efforts of tho tolephono trust to stifle competition and keep up rates will fall in tho long run. What an awful combination this telephone trust is. It controls the telophone service in every great city of the country. It controls tho Western Union Telegraph Company, It controls the General Electric Company. It controls tbe Western Electric Company. ' And it keeps up rates in order that tho peoplo may bo milked of great dividends for stockholders. Tho water meter graft is Lobbing its head up again. It 1b proposed to tax every lot in Chicago from $200 to $500 for water meters, besides tho great expenso it will entail upon all usors of water. Chicago has an immense water fund. It part of It was devoted to wards building pumping stations at tho lako end of evory section line in Chicago there would bo no water f am ino anywhere. It la astonishing what men tbe water meter peoplo can Influence to their way of thinking. Some men who ought to know bet ter nro talking for water meters. Moro than that tho "high pressure" schomo Is up again. According to some advocates it will only cost thirty or forty millions of dollars to install motors and a "high pressure" system. Tho poor will have to pny the cost. With halt this sum additional pump ing Btatlons could bo built which would moro than supply tho demand. A well known engineer who was ad vocating "high presure" and water meters said tho other day, according to daily papers, that ono of tho chief troubles in Chicago was tho vory high consumption of wator, which averaged about 2,000 gallons per capita dally, caused largely by waste and under ground loakago from broken connec tions. As a remedy for waste he recommended water meters. Tho test of tho water pressure made In the loop 'shows an Insufficient pressure, but ho eald that tho city was Install ing a large number of wator mains, none under eight Inches, and these would materially Improvo the pres sure. Tho health of the city demands plenty of water for everybody. Tho install"".:!! of meters would limit th consumption of water and rols' .0 prlco of living on tho poor. -.rtghor rates would havo to be gorged in tho resldenco districts and tenants would havo to pay tho water rates after tho landlords had paid an exorbitant rnto for lnBtalllng water meters. This form of graft 1b particularly objoctlonablo to Chicago peoplo. They will not stand for It. It hits everybody and It Is unneces sary. From the learned telephone expert whose report was submitted to the City Council in May, 1111, we lean ea pages 49 and 60, that the Bell Tele phone monopoly that reaches all over tbe country, owns a controUlag inter est In tbe local telephone company aad the Western Electrical Company. "Tho latter is purely a manufacturing com pany," says the report, "engaged la the manufacture of Bell telephone ap paratus and supplies." In 1904 a con tract was entered lato between tbe local telephone company and tbe elec trical company, both of them ownea by the Bell monopoly, whereby the local company agreed to purchase all of its supplies from tbe electrio com pany. Under the terms of this con tract tbe electrical company agrees te deliver to tbe telephone company rll telephone appliances manufactured un der the license of tbe Bell Telephone Company. The local telephone com pany, on the other band, agrees to pur chase all Its suppliss from the elec trical company. Here we have a fine sample ef hew tbe parent monopoly makes tbe sue- sldlary monopolies pit up profits for each other and the publlo pays the freight. On page 62 of tho report of tale "Expert" to the City Couaell we 14 the statement made that the Bell as opoly charges a rental of 61 osits per station for each set of lastrnmMts used. This would amount te flltJM yearly, but the expert discovered that the local company really paid the parent company $358,711 last year. About tbls enormous overcharge the "expert" naively says on pat II ef the report now in the bands ef the Council committee: "la Jaatifleauoa of the payment of the difference be tween these amouats, or $111,411, tbe Chicago company receives eertaJa services from the pareat eeapaay which it Is claimed are worth tbe amount paid. These services consist ef teebnleal advice and counsel and the as ef ap paratus patented by the pareat esav pany. What do you think of that? And then tbe aldermea, are asked to raise tbe rates oa the people te help the local company eat Any alderman wbo votes te raise rates should be outlawed. Rates are twice as much as they ought to be at tbe present time. They should be reduced. Ty OFFICES NEW CITV MALL. City Architect Tenth floor. South end. Bosrd of Election Commlsslonsrs. Third floor.

It Is about time that the state of Illinois came to the rescue of the people and passed a law prohibiting tho misuse of the nnme hank. As matters stand at present any one with money enough to hire and equip a store can paint the name bank on the front windows and so licit and receive deposits without let or hindrance. Every year hundreds o people lose their savings through the failure or collapse ,of one or more of these wildcat Institutions. Legitimate banks which are in themselves a guarantee of security,. are passed by by thousands of slra plo and gullible people who are charmed by tho advertisements and cunning allurements of men wbo never did nny legitimate banking and who never Intended to do any. Tho Chicago Eagle has often re ferred to this matter before and it again urgeB upon tho legislature and upon men who are seeking seats in the general assembly, the necessity for passing a low protecting legiti mate banks and prohibiting Illegiti mate ones.
