PROF. CORAY TALKS OF TAX
Educator Returns From Meeting of
Association Convention Held
in Louisville. XIV.

Professor George Coray of the de-
partment of economics at the UNIVERSE
ty of Utah returned from Louisville,
KY, Sunday night, after attending the
third annual meeting of the Interna-
tional Tax association, which was held
under the auspices of the National Tax
association of the United States. The
two former meetings of the association
were held in 1907 in Columbus, O., and in
1908 in Toronto, Canada. In speaking
Of the convention, Professor Coray
said:
THE meeting was one Of the most
successful ones in the history of the as
ISOLATION. Representative from all Of
the universities Of the United States
and Canada, and of all the taxation
boards were present. In all about 200
attended.
The assembly lasted about three
days, but the work of the separate COM
mittees lasted the entire week The
principal topic of the week was the IN
come tax. On the second day a COM
mite presented a resolution condemn
ing the income tax. At this time the
resolution seemed sure TO pass. A paper
read by Professor Selagan of Columbia
marked the turning of the tide His
assertions were supported by President
Bullock Of Columbia and Lawson Purdy
Of the New York chamber of commerce.
They admitted certain Objectionable
conditions, but insisted that the way IT
would regulate cooperative industries
overbalanced the bad effects. On the
last day the committee which presented
the resolution withdrew it."

AlRSHlP FOR PIOCHE.
New York Firm Wishes TO Advertise
Nevada Mining Camp.

An airship flight for Phoebe, which is
expected to attract to that camp as
many people as did the Gans-NelsOn
fight to GOldfield, is suggested by a New
York brokerage house, which is inter-
ested in bringing the resources of Phoebe
to the attention of the public.
This firm, in private message which
was received in the city yesterday, said
that it stood ready to donate $500 to-
ward the fund required to induce the
Curtiss airship people to make a flight
in, or over, Phoebe. The sum of $1,000
must be guaranteed to assure the flight,
it is said, and business men and others
interested in Phoebe will be asked to do
nate the remainder.
Local mining men who are interested
in the Phoebe district believe that it
will not be difficult to make good the
guarantee.

"Dr. Miles Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 years standing. l was
so bad that l could not do nv
work, and could scarcely draw
a full breath without faintine or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me:

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

tons, and if it does not benefit

SCIENTIFIC VISITING IN
 NEW YORK
Every Detail of a Stay at the St. Regis Hotel may be planned
BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR OWN HOME

The twentieth century turist plans ms itinerary before he starts, and arranges for hotel accommodations as he does for transportation-in advance. The wise and seasoned visitor to New York, who comes to the city for a week or month, can do much more than this. He can cor respond with the St. Regis Hotel, located on Fifth avenue and Fifty-ffth street, and take advantage of that hotels "Scl- entifc visiting" plan. So comprehensive is this plan that the patron may lay down a complete programme Of what he wants to see, where he wants to go, ana when, during the entire period or his stay in New York, leaving the oe- tails to be worked out by the houei management. Everything will be arranged for minor her, for this service appears with particular force to ladies trayellng alore-and every burden is taken off the travellers hands from the time he is mel at the railway station by the St. Regls electric cab service until he goes up the gangplank of the steamship for Europe or returns to the railway station Tor the tourney home. Perfect service Tn per feet hotel is the watchword at the SI' Regis and for this reason It's culslne was established on the highest possible plane, but at prices no higher than cflarseo Inv other first class restaurateurs.

GOVERNOR COMER
 IS CRITICISED

Mobile. April 26.-President> Andrew Marx of the Alabama State Federation of Labor, at the afternoon sesion Of that body today, said in his annual address'
 "I beg to call your attention to the statement in all the daily papers that the Hon. B. B. Conner. the governor of the state of Alabama, ana owner of the Avondale mills, has re- fused pointedly to act upon the re- quest of Governor Sanders of Louisiana to send delegates to the conference held in New Orleans to take steps in regard to the employment of child labor. Gov ernor Conner declined to make any ap- pointments, assigning as his only req son that the state of Alabama had re- gently passed excellent laws upon the subject and that he could not approve of any attempt to modify these laws until they had been fairly tested ana found to be unsatisfactory. Ills claim that the laws of Alabama governing the employment of children by mills and factories are good and adequate for all purposes, is positively and strongly controverted by a lady expert on this subject who has devoted much time to it's consideration and who has visited the mills and was present at the con ference held in New Orleans There are many children in the Avondale mills of tender years-too young for such work and yet Governor Conner was cognizant of this and still main tains that the laws of the state gov erning the employment of child labor are good.
 T would urge the passage or resolu- tions approving the action of the con ference and condemning Governor Co., mer for his refusal to send delegates to that conference as he was invited by the governor of Louisiana and the em- ploying in his mills at Avondale Of children of such tender years; and to denounce also the parents of these children"
