CLOSE HEARINGS OH TAX RETURNS State Commission Is Now Prepared to Begin Equalization of Assessments of the Cities and Counties. The Kansas tax commission yesterday wound up all the hearings on the tax returns from all the counties of the state. The last appeals heard were those of several banks in Neosho and Montgomery counties, and the case of the Postal Telegraph company.

Decisions by the tax commission will be announced probably early next week.
