the trouble in regard to deficiencies
would be overcome.
"There is no doubt that this system
of mourning floating debts is Illegal,
and the city government could be en-
Joined by a taxpayer"
At this point Mr. Mallard digressed to
discuss the state board of equalization,
saying:
when Controller A. B. Nye told you
that the state board of equalization
never has and never will be a success
he told you a fact which everyone
knows to be true.
State Board Politics
81 have known, of my own personal
knowledge. of the state board of equal
ization making political combinations
among themselves to control the action
of the board in the equalization of the
counties of the state, without regard
to the claims of the counties which
were to be equalized.
"When you take into consideration
the total assessed value placed by the
state board of equalization on the fran
chises, roadbed, roadway, rails and
rolling stock of the Southern Pacific
railroad, the Santa Fe and the Salt
Lake railroads, all combined together,
that said total assessment in the city
of Los Angeles is about equal to the
assessment which have placed on the
Childs lot on South Main street, it will
appeal to any intelligent person as a
ridiculous proposition"
AS to Oil Concerns
Assessor Mallard then paid his re-
spects to the oil company officials who
are criticising his policy. He said:
1.-THE Ama1gamated Oil company,
with a market value of capital stock
of $4,000, 900, could only show that all
the constituent companies were as
sessed for was $414,000. l levied tax
on the capital stock of $4,000. 1 see
by the returns from this company that
the net profits the past year have been
$511. 200.
Profits and Taxes
"The Western Union Oil company had
a market value to it's stock of SO, 100000.
It was paying at that time "a per cent
on the capital, and could only show
that against the three million doddars
of capital stock it was paying taxes In
Santa Barbara county on a valuation
of $82,5S0. levied tax on the capital
stock of 1854, which this company
has refused to pay. It will become
necessary for the city to commence an
action.
"The Central Oil company, which had
capital stock worth $1,202,000, could
only show that it was paying taxes on
100000 of tangible property. levied a
capital stock tax of $4524.
"On the Puente Oil company levied
tax of $1005 on the capital stock.
ION the Rice Ranch Oil company, a
capital stock tax of $3.50.
ION the Horton Oil company,
capital stock tax of $250O
"On the Columbia Oil company, which
owns half the capital stock of the Pu-
ente Oil company, levied a tax of
$4,000, which it has not paid.
These eight oil companies are the
sum total which are preparing to re-
move their principal places of business
from Los Angeles by resolution only.
No one pretends to think but what
they will still do business in Los Ange-
les, just the same as they have done in
the past"

SCALDS HANDS. RATHER
THAN BREAK APPARATUS
SANITARY INSPECTOR LEWIS
PLUCkY THOUGH BURNED
While Engaged SteriIizing in Health
Department Laboratory Employe
Meets with Painful
Mishap

Sanitary Inspector Charles F. Lewis,
who is night custodian of the citys
laboratory at the health department,
bravely submitted to scalding steam
rather than drop costly sterilizing APP
paratus while at work yesterday on a
lot of diphtheria culture tubes.
AS a result he has a scalded right
hand, but refuses to lay off from his
duties.
Lewis lifted the container holding
scores of glass tubes out of the heating
box at the city hall annex, but the
degree of heat had reached such a
point that steam instead of hot water
sent it's painful vapors into his face
and against his hands. If he had i'm
mediately dropped the container he
would probably have saved his hand,
but ruined the costly contents. He
admitted afterwards that he momenta-
rily CHANGED to think more of the city's
than his own interests.
DR.. Harris Garcelon bound up the
injuries.
The plucky inspector was once a
member of the Louisiana national
guard and has spent much time in
Spanish Honduras, where DIR. w. H.
Lewis, his father, was a distinguished
physician.
The injured man is a brother-in-law
of John L. Slaughter, retired.

building trades which held aloof from

until all got together in one council.
Mr.. Wheeler of Carpenters No. 15S
then addressed the meeting, followed
by nj. C. Hughes of Kansas City, gen.
eral organizer for the international
brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
Mr.. Hughes gave vigorous talk brim
full of wise suggestions. He scored the
knocker within the ranks as being the
worst enemy of all. He also pointed
out the great mistake made by those
building crafts who were not affiliated
with the council.
Last ON the list of speakers was Stan
lev B, Wilson, who has made many ex-
cellent speeches in Los Angeles but
never a better one than he made on this
occasion. He spoke on "Knocks and

The African Negro
HAS BEAUTIFUL PEARLY TEETH,
CLEAN, WHITE AND PERFECT,
WITHOUT A FLAW, EVEN IN
OLD AGE
Living Near to Nature. His Digestion Is
Perfect

Dr. Livingstone, and later, Henry
Stanley, both of whom spent much time
in the exploration of Africa, In their
memoirs mention the fact that mem
bers of all the tribes that they came in
contact with possessed beautiful, white,
pearly, sound teeth, and that on in
vestigation they found that this was
due to the fact that the digestive Or
gans of the negro had never been i'm
paired, and that they were able at all
times to take care of the coarse foods
that were taken into the stomach.
The negroes food Is of the plainest
kind and is seldom If ever cooked. 1t
is eaten as it is found, with but little
preparation
rhe cause of unsound and imperfect
teeth found among civilized people Is
due to two important facts-the preva-
lence of dyspepsia, indigestion and
stomach troubles, and the foods we eat.
In the foods that we eat there is a
lack OF phosphates and other materials
necessary to make repairs and supply
the waste in the teeth.
Then again few people in civilized
countries are free from dyspepsia,
which interferes with the whole sys-
tenn ana causes trouble everywhere.
To have sound teeth, cure your dys-
pepsia and eat proper foods, ana you
will have little trouble with them.
A package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets should be kept in the house at
all times. They cure dyspepsia, sour
stomach. indigestion and put the stom-
ach and intestines in a healthy con-
dition.
rhe Tablets contain a powerful in
gredient which assists the stomach in
the process of digestion and puts it in
a healthy condition.
There are many bodily ills due en-
tirely to stomach troubles
If you are i'll ask yourself If vour
trouble may not be caused by indiges-
ton.
This may be the cause of the whole
difficulty, and to cure it means to have
perfect health.
You can get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at any druggists, for they are as
staple as any drug in the store. They
are so cents per package.
Send us your name and address to-
day and we will at once send you by
mail a sample package free. Address

needs existing throughout the country

upon the grange now as never before,

THE GRANGE NAME,
An Influential Factor in Business
and Legislation.

National Master Bacheider's Warning
to Those Who Would Benefit by the
Grange Name In Enterprises Outside
the Grange.
In his department III the National
Grange Organ in q recent number Ma
tional Master Bachelor remarks that
as the grange is fast becoming an in
fuential factor in social, educational
and financial affairs and also in legis-
latiye affairs, both state and national,
the fair name of our organization must
be protected. There Is and will con-
tinue TO be. he says great effort made
by people with wares to sell and leg
isiative matters to promote to in some
way use The word grange in the name
| adopted to designate their business or
scheme in order to deceive The people
and draw support to the enterprises
| by causing them to be known as
grange enterprises. There is absolute
| ly no justification for this unless the
grange or some committee appointed
by the grange has absolute authority
in The management.
TO be more specific, we may say
that an agricultural fair should not be
known as grange fair unless it's man
agement IS in the hands of the grange
or has been specifically lndorsed by
the grange having jurisdiction. A
store should not be known as a grange
store unless conducted by the grange
or giving special rates to members of
the grange through grange authority.
a paper has 10 real authority for the
use of the word grange i'll It's title un-
less it's policy is directed by the or
ganization. but grange departments il
papers designed for other fields do not
come within this restriction, for they
simply contain grange news and do
not carry any policy or responsibility
OF the grange. The use OF the word
grange in the title of banks without
controlling interest IN such banks be-
by the grange, whereby special priv
ileges would be secured to members
of the grange, is an unauthorized and
improper use of the fair name of the
grange.
Other instances might be cited III
which wrong Impressions are convey
ed and the name of the grange placed
in great jeopardy by the use of it's
name. In Il word, the name Of our or
ganiZation should be restricted by ac-
tiOn of the national grange to such
enterprises as at least have their poll
cies dictated and their affairs directed
by members of the grange In some Of
fetal capacity, for any other course III
case of disaster would bring much
odium upon us. even though we have
no opportunity to prevent such disas-
Ter. We 90 not undertake to say that
an agricultural fair, store, paper or
bank using the name grange In its
title should necessarily be financed by
the organization. but we do most en-
phatically assert that the use of the
name carries with it or should carry
with it the authority to dictate the pol
icy and direct its general management.
