UNUSUAL DECLINE
IN THE Death RATE

In the decade from 1901 to 1910.
the death rate from tuberculosis
in the United States declined from
1869 for each 100000 persons
living to 1903. a decrease Of ,l8.7
per cent, while the general death
rate. including all causes of death,
declined only one-half as fast or at
the rate of 81 per cent, from
1880. to 1858.
These figures were given out in
a statement issued today by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
They are based on data distracted
from the reports of the United
States Bureau of the Census, and
cover the registration area in this
country. According to the state
ment. the tuberculosis death rate
has declined steadily since 1904,
when it was 20l.6. On the other
hand, the general death rate shows
fluctu alto down ward in genreal
trend, but not as steacy as the
tuherculos rate. The define in
the tuberculosis death rate in the
last ten years means a sa wing OIL
$1,000 lives at the present time.
In certain cities, such as New
York. Boston. Cleveland and
Chicago, and in states like Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, the decline in the tub
eruclosis death rate is much more
marked than in TIE country at
large.
The National Association says
that there are many factors work
ing together to cause the decline
in the tuberculosis death rate, such
factors as the change in the char.
acter of our urban popula ton, in.
creased sanitation, and letter
housing but probably as potent a
factor as any has been the nation
wide anti-tuberculosis campaig...
ut may be foretOd with consider
able certainty" the statement con
cludes, that when the effects of
the present RAPIDLY increasing
provision for the care of tubercu
losis patients shall have become
evident, the decline in the death
rate from consumption IN the
coming decade will be even more
marked than in the last one"

DOING GOOD WORK

The parents and teachers Co.
operative association, at their
annual business meeting yesterday
afternoon, waived the election of
offers and adjourned to meet
again at the call of the Principal
Of the grammar school.
This association was organized
in the fall of 1909 i" response to
the call of Prof. McWhinney and
during the past three years its
active members, tho few in
number, have worked faithfully in
an effort TO bring about the mair
object of tHe organization namely
to help III every possible way the
work OF the teachers and to
endeavor at all times to bring
about closer cooperation between
home and school.
II is hoped that the work when
again taken up, will be carried on
with renewed interest and that
there will be more representa-
ti9" cooperation on the part of
both tcach.rs and parents.

AN ENORMOUS RENTAL
FOR PROPERTY LEASE

A total of S6,543, 900 rental for
SO years was the sum named in Il
lease recently executed for Mrs.
Hetty Green in Chicago, the rate
being S650,00 year for the use of
a strip of land Dc by 100 feet in
the business district. A milling
company will replace the building
with modern structure IL stories
high at cost of about Sl,OO0,0OG
which of course will add that much
to the value Of Mrs. Green's Land.
This lease has been taken rs a
horrible example of the present
system of taxation, it being urged
that the social growth of the city
has given the present value to the
real estate but that the increment
has gone to the land owners and
not to the public. Private own
efship or possession of land is
conceded to be essential" a
bulletin Of the American Economic
League declares, "Dui when we
permit such ownership as that of
Mrs. Green to include not only
results from individual effort hut
also the result Of a community 5
enterprise, does it not appear that
we go far toward cOndoning d
violation of the eight command
ment??"
According to this view the cost
of living has been advanced abou I
so per cent by the policy of
cXacting revenue from industry
instead of land values. The census
of 1910 showed that $50, PSI
persons are possessed Of $4,000,
600, 200 Of the total IF $4,000,
600, 900, of the nations wealth, OF
in other words, that three-tenths
of one per cent of the population
possess II per cent of nation
wealth. 1t is said that the late
William Waldorf, now a BRITISH
subject. receives revenue of $l0,-
| 90, 900 over here for allowing
American citizrns to transact
business q" Manhattan Island.

BIG LIND DEAL MADE

A ranch deal Involving in the
neighborhood of one million dollars
and the transfer of over $4,000
acres of land Was made this week
when Moffat & HUMPHREYS, the
we'll known stockmcn of Nevada
and California, purchased the
entire holdings of the Granite
Mountain Investment company
which is no other than the T. z.
Hickey Land and Live Stock
company.
Thirty-five thousand acres of the
holdings lie in Antelope Valley
while the balance of the property
is located in Bridgeport Meadows
and other portions of Mono
county.
Before Thomas B. Hickey got
the banking fever which resulted
so disastrous to himself and those
who believed in him he gave his
entire time to the management Of
his ranch. With a humble begin
ing he advanced rapidly acquiring
adjoining property until he owned
most of the ground in Antelope
Valley besides thousands Of acres
Of mountain ranges. His holdings
we're kept in the finest production
condition. Cattle and sheep in
countless numbers were marketed
each year and his income was
enormous. His property was that

The next twelve months will

prices for meats, eggs and butter
in the belief of l. L. Preston,

TRUTH AROUT NEVADES
HONOR SYSTEM

Much maudlin gush has been
spilled by the press of the state
because it is feared that the re-
moval of Baker from the warden
ship of the state prison will end
the "honor SYSTEM This twaddle
has become disgusting. AS mat
ter of fact Baker had no more to
do with the establishing Of the
"honor system" in this state than
did the pencil pushers who are
now weeping and wailing because
of his removal
The system was in operation
months and months before Baker
was ever thought of as warden.
There was no press bureau la con-
slant operation then to herald
the great Innovation to a gaming and
gasping world. Then, again, there
were no escapes to keep the
System" constantly in the mind
of the public. The "honor system"
was a success before Baker took
charge of the prison; it was q
failure after he assumed control.
His theory Of placing every man
in the prison on his honor" was
ridiculous. There are many men
in the prison who do not know the
meaning of the word, and to place
these men on an equality with mer
who have some spark uf manhood
left, was not to aid the "honol
SYSTEM" but to discredit and
destroy it,
The writer and no other man in
the state is responsible for the
introduction of the system" in
Nevada. He claims no credit for
the reform. The idea was born
in another brain than his. He
simply put others ideas into practi-
cal use.
Baker neither originated the
idea nor put it in operation in this
state: he found seven men at work
on the prison farm when he as
sumed the duties of his office who
had been there nearly year.
These men were dressed in civilian
clothes; were without guards;
were there simply on their honor
Not one escaped or threatened to
esrape. In fact one man requested
to be returned to the prison be
cause, as he informed the warden
ne could not get along with the
foreman in charge Of the farm
work and was afraid that he might
lose his self-control aud either do
violence to the foreman or break
his word Of honor and attempt to
escape.
These are plain facts written
for the purpose of disabusing the
minds of several hysterical editors.
