. on the Chesapeake gave as his dying
words the order, Don't give up the
ship" but fate compelled his crew to
strike their colors. The Essex, the
first American frigate to sail around
Cape Horn into the Pacific, found a
British vessel waiting for her, and in
the battle which ensued the enemy
came off victorious. In the midst OF
these disasters the New Englanders
were disregarding by a majority of
votes what the national government at
Washington decreed. They quietly and
secretly published most unsatisfac-
tory report that was supposed by
many to have had it's origin in an at
tempt to break up the federal power.

possibly one Of the most pronounced
military successes in the history of
civilized warfare, was achieved after
peace had been declared. and hence

terms of peace were largely brought
about through French influence, as be-
cause of the military conditions ex-
listing between England and France.

Immediately after. the war Of 1912
the stars began to gather in our flag.
and they all came from the west, for
it should be remembered that in those
days any country lying on the sun
down side of the Allegheny mountains
was considered west. Hence the open
ing up of the greet western terri
tory with the immediate admission OF
the new states brought forth the
rise of the stars all in the west" un-

1912 seen 80 stars rise in the west.

ing the French concern in the well

when men like moles work underground
The Lion Virgin true shall wound
During the last years of the Revolu-
ton the continentals frequently at
tempted to make approaches to the
camp and redoubts of the British by
underground passages. This tunnel
method was evidently a French sug-
gestion, as it was a part of early
French military tactics. The digging
in the earth is also well illustrated in
the winter headquarters at Valley
Forge, where the telling OF trees to
establish their log cabins was slow
work; and when the cold winter set in
many were the holes in the ground
that served as lodgings for the freez-
ing troops. The line, "The Lion a
Virgin true shall wound" might be
taken as a reference to the terrible
massacres. expeditions of plumber and
destruction in Virginia, named the Vir-
gin colony In honor of Queen Eliza
beth. This country of the virgin was
indeed wounded. for no other section
of the country suffered such bloody
military attacks. 1t was estimated by
Jefferson that the raids Of Benedict
Arnold through Virginia cost the
enormous sum of $15,000.000 in prop
erty, besides the thousands Of lives
sacrificed under conditions Of the
most frightful torture.

County Tax Assessor
| heartily favor the creation OF the
Office of county tax assessor believ-
ing that It is impossible under our
present system to have any uniform
Iity in the valuations of property for
purposes of taxation. There is one
feature of the pending bill that does
not seem to be founded upon substan
tial reason. and that is the provision
that permits the assessor to collect q
ercentage of taxable values OF pub.
llc service corporations. Under our
constitution, article 10, section 2l, it
is made the duty of the state board
OF equalization to assess all public
service corporations The county as
4ssor will have absolutely nothing
TO do with the assessment, and
have not yet discovered any sub
stantial reason why the state, coun~
ty or district should pay him for
services he does not render Ac-
cordng to the last assessment the
taxable values Of public service cor
porations was $lSS,661,S20 If com
mission be computed at three-fourtbs
