A Big Issue Of Maps.

On this theory the Northwestern
Development League will publish
shortly an official map Of the Ameri'
can northwest and will place the map
officially in half q million school
rooms. The first run of the printer
will be one million copies, half OF
which will be placed in public school
rooms. Secretary Campbell OF the
league, estimates that it will take two
years to place the maps and that the
advertising will be worth one handred
fold the cost of the maps within Il
months after they are placed.

Aviation Claims Many Victims.
Butte Miner.

Butte Miner.
According to q Chicago newspaper
which is keeping track Of the number
of airmen killed in the course of their
business, there were IS fatalities In
1910 and 81 have fallen to their death
90 far this year.
This is an awful toll, and the wors,
of It is, this sacrifice of life has not
resulted In any advancement in the
science of aviation. The great ma
jority of these deaths have come to
men who we're making exhibition
flights for the entertainment of specta.
tors.
A man may feel justified in taking
great risks with his life for the ad.
vancement of science, but 1t is an en-.
tirely different natter to take chances
simply for the amusement of the popu.
lace.
As there are more persons every
year learning to handle aeroplanes it
stands to reason, unless something is
done to stop it, aviation is going to
continually increase the number of its
victims in this country.

TAXES.

A glance at the personal tax roll
demonstrates what q cham the per-
sonal property tax is In this state. 1t
is the same everywhere. Its farcical
nature is universally recognized. The
problem is with what to replace it.
Probably the fairest tax is q tax on
incomes, although some would prefer
the single land tax advocated by
Henry George. 1t, or q modification
of it, has already been put on trial In
British Columbia and elsewhere. The
practical results of the application Of
the plausible theory have so far moi
proved all that could wished, says the
Missoula Sentinel.
The great trouble is that, carried to
its logical conclusion, the single tax
does away with land ownership, and
to the European and his descend ants
the desire for such ownership Is in
bred and apparently ineradicable'
Hence, while theoretically the single
tax may work like q charm, practi.
cally the people will have none of 1t.
Attention has been directed to ar
other tax which has been adopted In
Canada. This is known as the bust.
ness tax. All business Ia taxed q GER.
tain rate per cent. upon the rental
value of the property. In Germany a
similar tax known as the occupancy
tax, is levied on all premises occupied.
In Prussia they have q department
store tax, based upon the total amount
of business done during the year,
practically q gross earnings tax. A
similar tax in France il based on the
number of persons employed.
The whole trouble about taxation
lies in the difficulty met with in Undue.
ing people to make q true return OF
the value of their property. The
greater it is 10 amount the greater the
difficulty. Hence the preference for
indirect methods of which the most
striking instance is the tariff tax lev.
led on imports for national purposes,
perhaps the most onerous and inequi.
table of all the taxes we pay. But be-
cause it is indirect and paid in drib-
lets, it's burden is not felt. For this
reason it will probably continue in.
definitely to be q popular tax with
those whose business it is to see that
q revenue is raised.
Still, SO far as the state Is concerned,
if there is any reliability to be placed
in the figures recently published, both
u land and personal property tax
list need to be thoroughly revised.

FOOTBALL IS DANGEROUS.

If You Dont Think SO Try to Start .
Game In Turkey.
It is, or was until recently, a difficult
matter to be a sportsman in Turkey.
One Rechad Bey tried It, with a re-
suit weird enough to serve as a basis
for a detective story or a comic opera.
The young Turk had organized a
football team among his friends. to-
gether with some Greeks and Arme-
mans. and began practicing. Not very
long after, in the middle Of the night,
police came to his house and carried
him of to Scutari. There he was sub.
mitted to a long interrogation as to
the club and the game Of football.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found a great plot and that
the club must be a secret society. A
special messenger was sent for the
ball, and that was duly examined and
found to be an Internal machine. The
rules Of the game were considered to
be another piece Of damning evidence,
and still worse the sweaters and
colors Of the club.
After long elaboration the culpr1t
wal sent to the higher police authori.

second long examination and came to

ADVERTISING

The citizens of Billings are prepar.
ing for a vigorous publicity campaign
that promises to attract large numbers
of settlers TO the Yellowstone valley.
According to dispatch from the pro.
gressiye eastern Montana city, the
Billings chamber Of commerce COM.
mittee DUN that a fund of ap.
proximately S26, 900 has been raised
with which to carry on q publicity !
campaign during the next two years.
Montana in general and the Yellow.
stone valley 10 particular will be O.
plotted and it is confidently expect.
ed that as a result of the united
eff orts which are to be put forward
thousands of persons from other
states will be led to locate in Montana.
The value of such q publicity cam.
paign is not fully appreciated In many
parts of Montana, although in recent
years there has been positive proof Of
the good results that can be secured.

In commend alton Of the public spirit
displayed by the Billings boosters.
the Butte Miner pertinently remarks:
Montana has set q most worthy pace
in the matter of proper publicity and
that Montana Is determined to con-
tine such action Ia manifested by the
plans being made and carried into
practice in various parts of the state.
In order to be effective publicity Of
that kind must be continued.
There is no such thing as resting or
the laurels Of former publicity cam
paigns.
The advertising of the state and III
resources, the opportunities it affords
and the future it has In store must bt

That Montana has made q splendic
start in letting the rest of the WORLD
know just what Montana 10. whs

is a mighty excellent indication Of the

that such advertising 10 going to b.

word that the enterprising m%etropolil

Not only is Billings to profit by rea

BOND ISSUE |S DIRECTED. 1 l: ,. Instructions Given Trustees
 At School Meeting SALE 0f CENTRAL SCHOOL
Board Is Ready to Receive Offers Acted Unanimously in About the Only Way That Was Open to Them.

The electors of Phoenix school dis trict No. l in mass meeting assembled voted unanimously and affirmatively on a motion made by Dr. AnciI Martin, directing the trustees 10 hold them selves in a receptive mood for any offers that may be made for the Cen tral school property, in whole or in part. for the purpose of determining what it may be sold for. reporting the facts to another mass meeting of the electors when anything definite shall be asecrtained. Another motion made by H. B. Kersting. was unanimously adopted. directing the trustees to pro ceed with the necessary formaiities for calling an election on the question of issuing additional school bonds to the full amount of the Harrison act limita- ton, which will permit an issue of ap- proximately $7l.000.
 The mass meeting was held in the Central school building. pursuant to a call issued by the trustees requesting an informal discussion with the elect ors. concerning the school building problem. The attendance was not as large as had been desired though there was a goodiy gathering of very repre- sentative people. The meeting was called to order by Sims Ely of the board of trustees. who stated it's object, which he said would be more fully set forth by Trustee L. D. Dameren. Sup erihtendent Loper and others. He also announced that he was not feeling ell k.t txI. remain during the entire meeting but desired to show his interest and appre- ciation of the importance of the mat ters to be discussed. by his presence for little while at least. He suggest ed the selection of a chairman. and Mayor Lloyd B. Christy was named
 Dr. Dameron was called upon to for mally present the various sides Of the problem the district is facing The essence of it is that the growth of school attendance increases just as fast as all previous efforts have provided accommodations. so that the schools that were crowded some years ago are still as badly congested as ever and with the completion of the building now under way there will be but very slight temporary relief: about the only
  real advantage will be that the chill dren that are sent to the new building will have better quarters than now, even though they are crowded. The doctor said 1t Is the universal opinion of educators that for the best results | the number of pupils in a room should | not exceed 30 while the Phoenix schools l have 42 to the room. Even after the | new Adams street school Is in use. to | cut down the room attendance to the | deal 90 would require twenty-five ad- l titional rooms. With the West Adams | school occupied as we'll as all the | present rented quarters there would be | 1nly one vacant room. And the annual | increase in school enrolment has been f shown to be continuously about l5 per ,ent. one year after another. To H. ustrate that point the doctor present. d the following figures:

 AND WAIERY GRAVE
Suicide Of an Attschs of the West
 inghouse Company.

New York. Feb. 2.-The body of Edward St. John. assistant treasurer of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company was found in the surf off Coney Island today. It was fully dressed and there is no other theory advanced than that St. John committed suicide by drowning within the last twentyfour hours. because of a shortage in his ac- counts, believed to be due to specu- lation in Wall street with the com panys funds. The amount is esti- mated at not more than S50.000.
 'sThe shortage was not reported un- til our representative suicided today" said Vice President Terry. Terry said that he did not know the extent and nature of St Johns speculation, but he believed 1t must have been a sudden venture. perhaps his first one, in Wall street.
 St. John was sixty years of age and married.

 After a short executive session it was made plain that executive hearings will not be permitted to- delay or to embarrass the measure.
 The debate in the committee room was precipitated when Representative Champ Clark asked Chairman Payne if the reciprocity agreement was to be reported to the house before the first of next week. Mir Payne said he did not know but that the bill probably would remain in committee until about Tuesday

WHOLESALE MURDER PLOT IS
 DISCLOSED.
Many Killed by Mexican Escorts for
 Their Money.

Nogaies, Feb. 2-The wholesale
 murder of Chinese laborers by Mexi- cans in connection with smuggling contrabrand Celestials across the bor- der was revealed in the story of d
 wounded Chinaman found in an iso- lated mountain located not far from this city and brought here today Al least this is the belief of the authori- ties. who are searching the locality for the bodies of three other China men supposed to have been murdered for some time.
 According to the story of the wounded Chinaman he and his three countrymen from southern Sonora were being smuggled into the United States by two Mexicans. The Chinese had been working on Sonora ranches and all had money. The surviving Chinaman says that while he and his companions were asleep in a lonely canyon they were set upon by the Mexican escorts. The others were killed. he says. and himself left for dead. He was later found by a Mexican rancher Two Mexicans have been arrested as suspects
 In connection with the present case 1t is now recalled that the bodies of three other Chinamen who were mur- dered have been found in the same vicinity within the last two months. It is thought that the smugglers frequently that their charges carried money. have killed them in order to secure the cash. Word comes from Nogales Mexico today that many Chinese who have passed over the border from there during the past month have never been heard from and it Is thought that they have been murdered and robbed.
