AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Yuma Sun says: The No
gales Oasis. one of the newspapers
that have opposed Governor Kib-
bey's effort to require the great
mining corporations of Arizona to
pay their just proportion of taxa
tion, has the following acknowledg.
ment that something has been ac.
complshed;
"Commendation Of Governor
Kibbey's course in the mine taxa
tion matter can be made in one
particular. He has broken ground
toward definite and equitable So
luton of burning problem.
Whether the course of the territor-
ial board be upheld in the court Of
last resort, there will be elected a
legislature which will enact rea-
sonable bullion tax law, Hereto
fore his predecessors have done
nothing toward correction of the
injustice under which the people
labored. Governor Brodie did
propose Legislative commission
of Investigation which should re-
port 20 the succeeding legislature
a bill to tax the product of mines.
But be might as well have recon-
mended a commission TO inquire
whether the moon be made of
green cheese. The executive rec
ommendation was ignored. Ac-
ceptanoe thereof would have been
a step toward enactment of bull
lion tax law, which the great min
ing companies did not want taken.
and they quietly prevented it.
But toward that desired end Gov.
ernor Kibbey has taken step
which they could not prevent and
cannot reverse. Now every citil
zen is commission of inquiry on
bullion tax law. They all know
that there are such enactments in
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colo.
RADIO and other states. To copy
one of those laws would suffice en-
tirely."

AN IDEA OR TWO

The Globe Register says: A citi-
zen Of 6iln county, one we'll posted
10 county and territorial matters,
especially those pertaining TO tax
alton, visited the Register Office this
week, and in discussing the inn
portant matter of assessments upon
mining property, suggested that
there ought to be provision of
law governing the matter, to the
effect that the owners of mines
should be permitted to return their
mines and property at just such
figures as they might consider
them worth: Nothing could be
fairer. The human mind cannot
conceive of anything that could be
less Objectionable; and had be
stopped there the great mining
companies that are fattening upon
the mineral resources Of this terri
tory, or rather their mouthpieees,
the newspapers under their control,
which stands ready TO sneeze when
ever the great mining magnates
take snuff, would have him ready
to rise up and call him blessed,
and to fall upon his neck and weep
with joy, so glad would they be
that he favors continuing the old
system Of taxation by which the
old huskies who work their fields
and conform to the scriptural in
junction that" ain the sweat of their
brows theysssha eat their daily
bread" and the merchant and the
COW man shall bear the greater
portion of the burdens of govern
mental expense. while their patron
saints, the big mine operators,
escape.
But be failed to stop there. He
went on and supplemented that
part of his suggestion by saying
that the law should further pro-
vide that when the assessable val
ne of the properties were fixed by
the owners, any person or corpora
ton might, within a time to be
limited by law, pay to the owner
a sum 10, 26 or some other per.
centage more than the value re-
turned for assessment and compel
a transfer Of the property to HIM
or the corporation as the case
might be.
The idea is a good one, and
would have the effect of bringing
out something near the true values
at which such properties should be

Fiqht Against Smoke.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 The estimate is made that four-ffths of London smoke Is due to shortcomings in the boiler plants, either because the chamber for the combustion process Is too small or because non-conducting walls for the chamber are not provided. Tho three essential conditions for the perfect combustion of bitumlnous fuel are said to be CD a sufflciency of air, preferably heated; CD sufficiently high temperature in the combustion area, and t0 good admxture of the aid with the hydrocar- bon gases given off by the fuel. The ex- perience of plants in London and in Ham, burg is appealed to to prove that bitum- inous fuel can be burned without smoke with high efficiency and without excess sive cost in industrial plants.
 Franklin MacVeagh's saying that smoke is the barometer not of prosperity but of stupidity would certainly be accepted in substance, and doubtless gladly also in SO many words, as the motto of London's smoke abatement advocates.

What LiquozOne Is

The virtues of Liquozone are derived solely from gases. The formula Is sent to each user The process of making re- quires large apparatus. and from to IA days time. It Is directed by chemists of the highest class The object Is to so fix and combine the gases as to carry into the sysem powerful tonic-germi- eide.
 Contact with Liauozone kills any form of disease germ. because germs are of vegetable origin. Yet to the body Liquo- zone Is not only harmless, but helpful in the extreme. That is its main dis tinction. Common germicides are poison when taken internally. That is why medicine has been so helpless In germ disease. Liquozone is exhilarating. vital izing. purifying; yet no disease germ can exist in 1t.
 We purchased the American rights to Liquozone after thousands of tests had been made with 1t. Its power had been proved again and again, in the most diff ficult germ diseases. Then we offered to supply the first bottle free in every disease that required 1t. And over one

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health and
 Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grand-mothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and nolasses every spring and fall.
 If was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit.
 The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatab1e. and large quan- tity had to be taken to get any effect.
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff offect of sulphur In palatable concen- trated form, so that single grain Is far more effective than tablespoonful or the crude sulphur.
 In recent years, research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name, of Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are small choco- late coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in highly concentrated effective form.
 Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul- phur acts directly on the liver, and ex- cretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination Of waste material.
 Our grandmOtherS Knew tnlS when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudity, and inn purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur of which Stuart's Calcium Waters Is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipa- ton and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike.
 Dr. R. N Wilkins while experimenting with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: For liver. Kidney and blood troubles. especially when resulting from constipation or malaria. I have been surprised at the re- suits obtained from Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated car buncles have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. AL though Stuart's Calcium Waters is a pro- prietary article, and sold by druggists. and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation. liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin disease as this remedy"
 At any rate people who are tired Of pills. cathartics and so-called blood ''purifiers.' will find in Stuart's Calcium Waters far safer. more paiatable and effective pfeparation.

Deputy Insurance Commissioner H. Shorter from this state, he says
 q will add that it has never occur to me once that the financial condlt of either the New York Life, the York Mutual or the New York Equita was questionable 1 am as satisfied of solveney of these institutions as l am or the solvency of the United States gov ernment. I believe that the policyholders today in these companies as well as m other companies, are In better shape than they were prior to the recent dis closures"
 The only commissioners that declined to acknowledge the solvency of the com panes under fire were R. E. Folk of Ten nessee and w. D. Vandlver of Missouri. Commissioner Vandlver expresses his views in part as follows;
 q have no doubt that at the present time the companies are technically sol- vent, but under dishonest and reckless management. l have no idea how long that may be SO I believe that out of this investigation good will come, and in the end all life insurance companies will be compelled to adopt more sensible and economical methods of business, and most of the companies will be able to get rid of the grafters and again win the eonfi- dence of the insuring public. But until that Is done 1t would be useless and misleading for me to encourage people 10 expect honest dealing

Salter began his railroad career with the Louisville and Nashville fifteen years ago as a clerk at Hopkinsville, Ky From that station he was promoted to local agent at Sheffield, Ala. Later he was transferred as agent at Florence, Ala. From that point he was sent to Cincinnati as cashier; then was made joint agent of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railway at Mid- dlesboro, Ky, and before his transfer to New Orleans as general agent was local agent for the road at Mount Pleas ant Tenn. It is understood there are to be several other changes in the Louisville and Nashville force here, but these have not yet been made public. MT. Goodwin Is accompanied by F.

later the correspondence referred to was sent to the Morning Sun under the specinc direction of MT. Morgan. and the matter appeared the next morning, the purpose of the publication being to give wide spread publicity to the story exculpating Rollins & Go. from blame in this very queer deal, members of that firm realized that by limiting the story to one paper they had failed to accomplish what was intended.

 Perkins to Retire.
 It Is mi-authoritatively announced that the wonderful MT. Perkins will re- tire from the New York Life Insurance company about the first of the new year and give to Morgan & Co. a monopoly of his genius from that time on. A great change has come over Mir Perkins within the last two three months. His old time airy, fairy blithesomeness Is gone and in it's place has developed serious ness and grimness in striking contrast thereto. He thinks he has been very badly treated by the newspaper people and Is especially greved over the lack of respect shown by the cartoonists.
 The stock market which had spasm of panic over a few days of tight money and which broke 8 or 10 points one time over one of Tom Lawsons crazy fulmin- ations, views with composure the strug- gles of one of the three greatest nations on earth to escape from the death clutch of anarchy and revolution-a catastrophe Involving the life of more than S3,00O 000,- 900 of national obligations afioat in the European markets.
 There seems to be little doubt that control of Tennessee Coal and Iron has passed to a syndicate headed by John w.. Gates, Grant B. Schey and E. H. Ber- wind and that a merger of that property with Republic Steel and Iron is on the tapis. Down to this writing no rescue party has been organized to save the properties from this ownership The street may in time get out of the habit of think ing that the services of a life saving crew are necessary every time MT. Gates takes hold of a proposition.

study to newspaper comment as 1t has to the expression of editorial opinion on the Presidents message, the burden of such comment being to quote too much standardization of power in Washington" with more or less criticism of MT Roose- velts persistent determination to lodge every possible power in the White House. Wall street feels that revulsion of popu lar sentiment has set in against the Roosevelt tendency to the concentration of federal control over the business in- terests of the country and that his ut- terances are furnishing a valid and legitl- mate excuse for popular hue and cry against "Czarism In America The phrase "Our Little Father in Washington seems to have struck a responsive chord in the financial district and the changes on 1t are being rung with unmistakable satisfaction. The paramount anxiety which rung through every phase. of Wall street discussion of what Congress will do re- lates to possible action with regard to rate regulation. The railroads someway feel stronger now than they did before Congress met, although every indication points to the enactment of legislation for the investment of more authority in fed eral hands for the control of railroads and other corporations doing an inter state business There Is a growing sense, however that when 1t gets down to actual results Congress will be less radical than had been anticipated and that nothing will be done to seriously disturb national prosperity, impair securities values or shake condolences. Little stock Is taken. however. In the Washington story that the President has agreed to a compromise under the terms of which short line and feeder roads shall be allowed to partici- pate in the profits of the trunk lines on freight originating with such lines Such compromise would write into the laws full recognition of the legitimacy and morality of the methods which enriched Standard oil, the beef trust, United States Steel and other trusts at the expense of hundreds of thousands of less favored competitors.

Gossip mentions Morris Sternberger of Jackson Courthouse, Ohio, as one of the main figures In the Zimmerman-P Prince coterie which worked off the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton gold brick on J. P. Morgan & Co., Sternberger is described as being very rich coal operator with a gift for railroad intrigue and as one who makes speciality of backing rail- ad-grabbing enterprises. Sternberger may be all that is claimed for him but the one big figure in the back ground of the combination which has just collapsed Is Newman Erbe. It was Erbe who, en- gineered the deal for the purchase Of the Peer Marquette to squeeze the lemon dry. Fred Prince of Boston was Erbe's main packer in Pere Marquette and Prince turns up a Zmmerman's associate in the syndi- cate which combined the two roads all though Erbe, himself, was shrewd enough to get out from under at some stage of the shuffle.
