CHICAGO, June 14.-(Special )- The most fragrant violator of Uncle Sam's anti-pass law is Uncle Sam himself. whose post office department issues the equavalent of 200, ,000 pass es, according to Julius Kruttschnitt. a Chicago director of maintenance and operation of the Hartman lines. The Post Office department issues annually about six hundred travelling commissions to post office inspectors and other postal officials, and re Quires railroad companies to honor such commissions for free transpor- tation on all trains on all lines on which mails are carried. he said. Tn some cases these commissions are issued to government officials whose official duties are in no way connected with the transportation of mails our railroads. The railroads have no control whatever over the issuance of these commissions, and cannot even secure from the post office department a list of them, the department holding that the list Is confidential. These commissions are frequently used for personal travel in violation Of the rulings of the interstate commerce commission. The postofiice department in effect arbi- trarify issued about six hundred an nual passes over every mail carrying railroad in the United States, which is equivalent to about 200,000 annual passes"
 Mir. Kruttsehnitt, in mentioning facts not generally known about the post office department also pointed out many ways in which the cost of transporting mails could be reduced if the department would look for them.
 But the post cfice feature the combined weight of an entire mail route could many times be handled in a single car such as is used for express instead of several heavy and expensive post office cars" he said, whilst often extra cars for storage mail must be added. for which no extra pay is allowed The cost of running these storage cars also is not included in the computation of cost of service. as no accurate sta tistics of their number or car mileage are available. On a number of routes postal car pay has been allowed for running full cars in one direc- tiou oAAes closalAE suCA iOutes as half-lines. This obliges the railroads to move the car in the opposite di- rection without pay. the small addi- tional compensation of. less than cents per mile run received in one direction being entirely inadequate to compensate the road for the empty haul-to say nothing of al lowing anything for moving it in di- rection for which pay is received"

l thrilling and risky. Coroner Hoffman and the city building department are Investigating the manner of the death of man on a new ride" The report of the former said; There is a tendency for those riding in the cars 10 slide to the outside at the curves. In order to do away with the danger of accidents the managers were directed to build cars with high. CT inclosures." Each year the rides are crowded in good weather for the country over no city Is so parking mad as Chicago. One of the new amusements of 1911 is hurling base balls at a target, which springs a trap, allowing a negro to fall from a considerable height into a tub of water. lt is great sport. The negro sits on a bar above the tank. The man who plays the game purchases number Of baseballs from the genial barker and throws at target if he hits the taget down drops the bar and down plunges the negro into the tank. Fine business for everyone except the negro-especial- ly on cool nights. But the rides are probably the strongest magnets Some millions of people seem to pre- fer to get a thrill by being shot down an inclined plant on a roaring. rattling car than to eat dinner.

 Murray Urges Plan.

O. Murray, as desirable step the country over. It in sures a thorough examination by examiners who are familiar with local conditions and have proved the most efectual check to the guar anty of deposits idea. The Walsh crash in Chicago brought the Clear ing house association to adopt the plan which had been urged upon the association by one of the members, W. T. Fenton. vice-president of the National Bank of the Republic. When the Walsh crash came, with it's at tendant stress, it became necessary to take some action to improve condi- tions---the days for discussion abrupt lywere ended. At the annual meet ing of the Clearing house in January, 1906, Mir.

RAILROAD VALUES
 UP SIX MILLIONS
Arizona Board Completes Its Figures for Taxation
 During the Year

PHOENIX, June f4.-Aecording to the territorial board of equalization, which finished it's sessions here Sat urday evening the total value of all railroad property in Arizona for tax ation purposes is SIG, ,633, ,6Si.15. This is an increase of S5,S34,O33 over 1910. or of considerably more than 30 per cent in one year
 Another closely related item IS yne valuation placed upon Pullman prop erty, which is s100. .333.45. Railroad property exempt from taxation is SS,3S9,925. The total value of all railroad and Pullman property in the territory is 25,l23. .939.5O.
 The work of the board during the past week has had the result of add ing largely to the amount of taxable property. If the plans of the assess, ors be realized for a more equitable assessment of property through all the counties of the territory. it is possible there may be a material re duction in the tax rate.
 By far the heaviest taxpayer is the Southern Pacific, with 392Is miles assessed at S17,5OO a mile. The total assessed valuation of the $. P. for 1911, therefore, is in excess of S6,S00.000 The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix is assessed at S10,0OO a mile Its value is slightly below S2, ,000, 900.
 The shortest railroad in Arizona is the line of the Arizona Commercial Copper company, which is S.03 miles in length. IL is assessed at $2S25 a mile.
 The Congress railroad, operated by the Congress mines, is 3.60 miles in length and is rated at 5000 a mile. The Johnson, DTagoon & Northern, in the estimation of the board is worth $500 a mile. But it is S,2 miles in length and is a sizable railroad compared with some of them.
 The following tables will show at a glance the valuation placed upon the various roads throughout tine l territory:
