The concessions district at the Pan- ama-Pacific International Exposition, corresponding to the wonderful "Mid- wayn in Chicago, will be one of the most marvellous and attractive sections of the exposition. Many of the amuse- ments will be presented for the first time and will be notable not only for their great size and artistic excellence, but also because they are selected with view to their educational value The art of presenting cycloramas and dio- ramas upon an elaborate scale has ad- vanced rapidly in the past few years and the exposition will present the worlds progress in this respect. The mum Der of applications for concessions is said by Mr. Frank Burt, the director of concessions, to be totally nnprece- dented in the history of expositions. More than 1000 people, it is estimated, will be employed in the concessions district and more than S12,000,000 will be spent in installation in this division when the exposition IS under way.
 The concessions and admissions com mittee is seriously considering adopt. ing name that will be significant of the completion of the Panama canal. It has been suggested that the gates of the concession district be. re licas of the great locks at Gatnn, and the en. trance be made through 'spillways" and during exposition hours the locks will open like huge gates to admit spec tators.

LIVESTOCK MEN
WANT FAIR DEAL

The Gazette says that forty live
stock mcn from different parts of
the state met the tax commission
in Reno Monday to discuss and
agree, if possible, upon a uniform
plan of assessing livestock for 1914.
The discussion which cnsued in
dicatcd that unless the stockmen
are given positive assurance that
they will not be- subjected to a
greater tax in proportion to any
other industry in the state the
commission will have trouble in
ascertainlng the exact number, or
anywhere near the exact number.
of cattle the big stockmcn of the
state possess. This statement was
particularly strong in some por-
tiUns of the state.
The meeting was opened by com
missioner Shaughnessy who outlined
the purpose If the gathering. He
said it was ne De sire of the com.
mission to como TO some sort of an
agreeable understanding with the
stockmen whereby a Uniform as
sessment on the livestock industry
could be levied for the ensuing
ear He assured those present that
here is no inclination or intention
on. the part Of the commission to
single out the livestock industry
and make il bear more than its just
proportion of taxation. but, on the
other hand, IL is the desire Of the
commission TO ocure facts and fg.
urcs on which il will bc possible to
equalizc and levy a uniform assess
ment on all classes Of property.
He stated that the commission had
decided that assessments levied on
n valuation Of 60 per cent would he

for mining properties, railroads
and public utilities. In the opinion
Of the commission, Commissioner
shaushnessy said, the assessment

1876 per cent sugar and 81 per
cent purity last year. The CAM
paign lasted 81 days and the aver
age tons sliced per day was 30S or
about three times as many as last
year. The shrinkage this year was
four per cent. as compared to II
last year. The amount of oil con-
sumed for fuel this campaign was
1000 barrels costing about Sl.50
per barrel. One hundred and
thirty men were employed on an
average throughout the campaign
on the two l2,hour shifts and the
disbursement for labor was sub
Stantial.
Altogether the campaign was a
successful one and rejects credit
upon the management. Receiver

will operate again next season ne-
yond a question of doubt and is
busy with the preparation of a new

ern mex: season that will be 20 the
benefit of the farmers.
During the recently concluded
campaign there was no injury to an
employee OF the factory or an un-
necessary delay, and the quality of
sugar is the best. In addition to
the revenue to be derived from
the manufactured product this
campaign has produced some 500
tons of molasscs and $500 tons of
pulp, which are being fed to stock
and will return a gross revenue to
the factory in the neighborhoud of

THE COST OF LIVING

II has been said that the pure
food law has operated to increase
prices and that is one Of the reasons
for the high cost Of living. Tits is
not SO. the pure food law has in
creased food Values but not food
prices. 1t is true that spices which
five years ago could be bought for
3 cents a pound now sell for %
cents a pound; maple syrup which
formerly sold for 90 cents a gallon
Is now worth $l.25 a gallon; 10
cent ]ilavoring extracts have been
replaced by 25-cent products. Rot
this increase in price does not mean
that the is paying more
for his food stuff than formerly.
ii Is more economical 10 buy pure
spices at % cents a pound than
spices containing 30 per cent of
ground olive stones, cocoanut shell
and sawdust at - cents a pound.
To those who love the flavor of
maple syrup, the genuine product
at $l.25 a gallon is more salts
factory than an artificial produc-
ton Mt half the price, and the
housewife who pays 25-cents for
a bottle Of vanilla instead of 10
cents for a worthless imitation is
actually saving money and reduc-
ing the cost Of living instead of in
creasing it, for the bottle Of today
will 90 nve times rs far as that of
former days and at the same time
be mucn more satisfactory. The
price Of the great food staples
flour, rice, corr beef, and sugar
is Absolutely uuinfucnced by pure
food laws. They may be higher to-
day and lower tomorrow, but their
cost to the consumer depends on

RIPLEY THE PROPHET

1t is refreshing to meet 2 chronic
pessimist like President Ripley Of
the Santa Fe. He is the Gloomy
Gus of Big Business. Others like
President James j. Hill Of the
Crest Northern, have their seasons
of despair. but even with them now
and then a ray of hope pierces the
black clouds of melancholy. Not
so with Mr.. Ripley:
Government ownership of all
railroads is coming, as certain as
fate. What is there to prevent it?
The legislatures hamper and cut
our profits and labor unions take
what is left. We are practically
between the Gevil and the deep sea.
But government ownership will
fail. 1t will be a great
thing for stockholde.s s, because the
people always pay well, but | warn
you it will be bad for the people
because, the usual standard of
inefhciency maintained by the gov
eminent will be employed 10 op-
Grating the roads"
Matters are as bad rs they can
be, but there is worse to come.
General business conditions are fine
and prosperity is rampant" says
Mr.. Ripley, but before long the
railroads in disgust will all turn
over their property to the govern.
ment, and then the public will see
what happens. There is nothing to
make life worth living, and the
longer you live the worse it will be.
The country is going straight to
the dogs and disaster and ruin are
the only consolation q practical
railroad man can sec ahead. It is
u comforting thought he has had
for years, bat it must be annoying
that the general smash.up cannot
be fastened Sew York World.

THE TAX COMPROMISE

A study of the compromise be-
tween the stockmen and the Tax
Commission almost convinces zee
that the stockmen slipped a very
big one over the commission. BY
the terms of the compromise the
stockmen are to be assessed next
year at $50 per head on rs per cent
Of the cattle they turn in to The
assessor. AS $50 per head is less
than so per cent of what cattle sold
Cor ON the range last fall, the cat
tiemen will not DE assessed on so
per cent of the value of their cattle
il prices remain as they are now.
This plan may bring in more cat
tie to be taxed, but it looks like u
rank discrimination between cattle
and other species of property. This
is readily seen if the tax commits
SIGN fixes the assessment of proper
ty at 60 per cent Of it's cash value
as stated by Commissioner Shaugh-
messy il opening the Reno meeting.
To say that the stockmen will
give 10 the assessor a greater mum.
Der of cattle and sheep than they
have heretofore, is merely saying
that they have not given in the cor
rect number in the past. That may
be true, but it leaves the stockmen
on the sharp horn of the dilema.
The tax commission simply says
you have not been honest in the
past, but we will assess you on less
than so per cent of the value OF
your cattle and see if that will not
make you a little more honest in
returning the number of cattle and
sheep you own to the assessor for
taxation purposes" Why not work
the same game on the other taxpay-
ers?

HEARST'S PURITY PLANS

H. E. Prettyman, a former adj
vertising solicitor for Hesrst's
Los Angeles Herald, makes an affi.
davit that under Instructions. he
devoted four months to urging sa-
loonkeepers to buy Herald's at half
price and give "a free paper with
every drink; and that he told the
saloonkeepers-as he was instruct
ed to do-that the giving Of such
valuable premiums would profit the
saloonkeepers by increasing the
sales of liquors. In addition. Pretty
mans affidavit sets forth that in
pursuing such work he was allowed
expense money and instructed to
spend the same freely in purchasing
drinks for himself and in treating
the p%roprietors Of the saloons, for
the purpose of establishing amic-
able relations with such proprietor,
win a view OF persuadinR the pro-
prietor to enter into such an agree
ment.
The affidavit is backed up by a
long list of Los Angeles saloon
keepers who gave the Herald as a
chaser for drinks" That uplift.

back-thc fellows who driftcd away
from Nevada. The blnc haze of
cnchantment which distance throws
over the PARKWAY called them from
the state; but, like the floatsam
and jctsam; even like the p%rovcrb
ial cat they came back and were
cast again on our shores.
There is something more than al
Turing in the color scheme or the
gray wastes Of sage which reaches
out to the azure hills, and the
azure hills which uplift to the uur-
pie sky.
And then there was the scent OF
sage crushed by the auto wheels
softened by the dcws of morn or
drenched y the summer rain.
Like the Uzone from the banks of
perpetual snow. the haIsam of the
fountain pines. it causes the lungs
to expand to their full capacity,
the shoulders 20 he thrown back
ward, the eye to brighten, hopes to
rise, ambitions to quicken and life
to become not only worth the Iiv-
ing, but to pay compound interest
on the Miner.
