din about the center Of the northern

so-called hair pin" turn. This is
regarded as one Of the danger points
but there are number OF other espe-

incautious driver may come to grlei'
Lately the American and foreign
drivers have been taking these turns
at a speed Of less than rs miles an

TAX DODGER DESERTED

OF course the 1aG-D0dger will
not appreciate our sympathy, but
candIdly ITS position now is a
pitable one, since the "Esaus" have
agreed to the figures placed on
their property by the assessor,
there IS nothing left for this par
ticular "Jaccb" to do but hang his
Grecian brow in shame and lament
the deserted condition in which he
now finds himself.
The Tar DOdger was esta bished
for the sole purpose of slandering
and defaming the official character
of Assessor BirdnO, and while he
has been laboring for the interest
of the people of this county in try.
ing to get fair assessment of all
property alike, this paper, owned
body and soul by a mouey-lender,
tax dodger and self confessed nom
resident of the county, has thrown
every obstacle possible in his way.
1t is mainly through Mr.. Birdno's
untiring efforts that an amicable
has been reached with
the mining companies whereby the
poor mans taxes will be reduced
this year from 1915 to 1925.
Such plain matters as these need
no comment, and the GUARDIAN
leaves it to fair and impartial
consideration of the people of Gra-
ham county.

FEEDING VALUE OF ROOTS.
When Farmers Get the Right Twist
on the Business.

When Farmers Get the Right Twist
on the Business.
There are few American farmers
who grow roots as regular crop year
after year. One reason is because
hand labor is necessary to a certain ex-
tent; another reason is that their value
Is not appreciated by stockmen because
they do not know how to feed them.
When stock farmer raises a crop Of
roots for the first time he Is liable to
feed them In excess; then because re-
suits are not satisfactory he makes up
his mind that he does not like roots to
feed.
The cost of growing roots is being
reduced by improved machinery, due
In large measure to the successful
growing of sugar beets. Within ten
years great progress has been made
In this direction, and the stock grower
who wishes to raise roots for feeding
purposes is profting thereby.
Continental EHsct.
There are cooling, healthful proper
ties about roots not possessed by any
plants grown above ground. Roots are
stimulating to certain extent and ap-
petizing when fed in connection with
ordinary farm roughage, which ac-
counts for the increased consumption
of other feeds when roots are used
These properties are approached but
not equaled by silage.
There is a continental value to roots
when properly fed that gives stock the
sleek, comfortable appearance that is
characteristic of thoroughbred stock
on the best English and Canadian
stock farms. The English farmer I'M
derstands how to grow roots and how
to feed them to the best advantage.
When American stock farmers get the
right twist on the business they will
be just as enthusiastic over their field
Of roots for winter succulence as the
old stock raiser in England or Canada,
concludes Farm, Field and Fireside.

ALBERT PULITZER, inventor of the
yellow journalism, announces that
he intends to establish in the fall II
New York daily, which shall be as
wide departure from the journal
ism Of today as was his Journal
twenty.iour years ago. There is
no excuse, in his opinion, for get.
ting out paper that is like others;
his is to be entirely different from
any paper published at present.
If it is possible to forgive Mr..
Pulitzer for turning loose the vel.

INCOME TAX

Governor Oummins Of Iowa, will
soon start movement TO amend
the national Constitution so as to
legalize an income tax and change
the method of electibg United
States senators so that the people
may vote for them directly. This
statement comes from close friends
Of Governor Cummins, and is not
denied by him.
The last state legislature gave
him authority to call national
convention to start movement
for popular election of senator's,
and be has determined to add the
income tax proposal. The con-
venton will be called Immediately
after the present campaign. His
excuse for including the income
tax will be the recent speech OF
President Roosevelt, in which he
advocated a tax op wealth.
While the convention would
have no power under the Constitu
ton, Governor Cummins believes
it would arouse public sentiment
to such an extent that the legisa,
ture would be forced to act.

MINING ASSESSMENTS

As will be seen from the news
columns of the GUARDIAN this
week, the big mining companies OF
Graham county have sheathed their
lances of warfare and like Ameri-
can citizens frankly agreed to pey
their just proportion of the taxes
of Graham county and the terri
tory at large,
The A, @, Company took the
initiative in this matter and il
must follow, as true as the laws OF
nature, that the big mine producers
all over the territory will have to
"toe the mark" and submit to a
fair assessment. In the first place
it devolves upon the several as
SCISSORS; and if they do their sworn
duty there remains no alternative
for the big tax dodging concerns
to longer avoid paying just pro
portion of the revenues of the ter
ritory. We have a governor terri
torial board and judges on the
bench iu whom the various as
SCISSORS may confidently rely TO
carry out the long-sufierng and
righteous will of the people of
Arizona-an equal assessment on
mines, ranches and railroads alike.
1t is now up TO the Territorial
board TO see that the railroads are
raised to something like their true
value. The time has passed when
the Territory should longer pro-
tect and foster these "iniant in
dustries." We need the railroads,
but that is no reason why they
should eternally escape paying
their just part Of the burden Of
taxes.
II is quite gratifying to the
GUARDIAN, in the absence of its
editor, who is also assessor of Gra-
BAN county, TO point with pride to
bis earnest and persistent efforts
along this line TO secure fair and
honest assessment of all property
alike. His zeal in the matter has
never been prompted by any ami
mus toward anyone, but by de
sire on his part to serve the people,
who commissioned him to make a
fair, just and equitable assessment
Of the property Of Graham county.

FINISHING YOUNG STEERS.
Citing Them For Profitable Market
at an Early Age.

Citing Them For Profitable Market
at an EARLY Age.
There are few subjects that are at
the present time receiving more atten-
ton at the hands Of stockmen than
that relating to the fitting of steers
for market at an early age. The inter-
est In this subject is not confined to
the corn belt. Some time ago prom
lnent Canadian investigator in an ad-
dress on this subject said that in order
to bring steers to the proper finish be-
fore they have reached the age Of
twenty-four months good blood Is alb
solutely necessary and that there is no
use to undertake to produce this class
Of beef unless the calves are of the
strictly beef type The dairy breeds
will not do at all. Calves intended for
the baby beef market were dropped in
April or May in the experiments CON
ducted by this investigator. They were
fed skim milk until they were at least
four months old, and in addition TO this
they were supplied with tiaXseed meal
For the first two or three months this
hGXseed meal was put in hot water
about cupful of meal to quart and
Il half of water The water was kept
Just below boiling for three or four
hours, In that way the meal is turned
into kind of jelly This is mixed
with the skim milk mt the rate of about
tablespoonful per pound Of milk.
Feeding Dry Food.
As soon as the calves will eat they
gre supplied with dry oilmeal, corn
and some ground oats. They will do
better on Il mixture Of grain than on a
single grain. At the age Of four months
the calves are given all the grass they
viii eat, and IN addition the meal sup
ply is kept up. During the winter they
are supplied with either roots or en-
siiagc, together with plenty of good
roughage and also mixed meal. They
are turned to grass the second summer
and given NO grain during July and
August The grain is started the first
OF September, and they are given about
half pound per day for each hundred
pounds of weight. Toward the end of
the feeding period, which is about
Christmas time, they are given nearly
pound of meal for each 100 pounds
OF live weight of the animal. At from
twenty to twenty-four months old the
steers should weigh from 1,100 to ], 400
pounds,
Rate of Gain.
II is claimed that the first gains while
milk was being fed were made at from
2 to 3 cents per pound. The next gain,
which included the time from weaving
until the fattening period at the end,
was made at from to 5 cents per
pound, while the last gain cost from 8
to Z cents per pound. Steers properly
handled should make about two pounds
day from the start until they are
ready for the block.-Iowa Homestead.

TO AVOID DELAY.
Roosevelt Makes a Suggestion About
the Rate Bill.

Washington, April 13-Railroad rate
legislation again was a topic Of import
ant discussion today at the White
House The president talked over the
subject with Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa, one of the staunch supporters
of rate regulation and later discussed
it with Senators SiInOne and Overman
of North Carolina.
The president suggested to Senator
Nelson that IN his judgment it would
be wise to attach to the Hepburn bill
either the amendment offered by Sena-
tor Simons or that by Senator Mallory
of Florida both of which are designed
to prevent unusual delay in the con-
sideration of applications for tempor-
ary injunctions- The proposed amend
ments provide that proceedings for pre-
liminary injunctions must be begun be-
fore the rate fixed by the commission
goes into effect. The complainant must
begin proceedings within 10 days after
any given rate fixed by the commission
and the notification has been received.
Ten days are then allowed for the TAX
ing of testimony and return Of papers.
In 35 days all the facts in any case
must be ready for submission to the
court on motion for a temporary in
junction. Such an amendment, It is
believed by the advocates of rate regu-
Iation would insure a speedy deteTmi-
nation of any given case and would
prevent the delays which they fear It
is regarded as likely that such an
amendment may be adopted.
