MILL WORKERS MAY TIE UP ALL
PATERSON INDUSTRIES

Paterson, N. j., May 1.-THE
striking mill workers are threaten
ing to tie up every industry, includ-
ing transportation and lighting, by
influencing the workers to join In a
two-day strike. This is their last des-
perate stand to force concessions
from the mill owners.
The unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, how
ever, denounce the suggestion, and
will call special meetings to veto any
such plan. They say they viii not
pull the ]. w. w. chestnuts out Of
the fire."
Probably never before in the his
tory of any Industrial tie-up has
there been so much misrepresenta-
ton as accompanies this one. Wild
stories of rioting, suggestions of
dynamite paintings and of blowing
up of mills have been widely circu-
lated, but in scarcely a single in
stance are they substantiated by
facts.

composition of the sand, and subject
ed it to the usual chemical tests with
the result that no question remained
that it is the genuine article and in
dicative of oil deposits in this vicin-
ity. Mr.. Wilson is confident that by
sinking to a depth of 1000 or more
feet a strong supply Of oil will be
found.
That oil underlies the entire Payette
and Squaw creek valleys there is no
question. Whether it is in sufficient
quantities to be profitable is yet to be
determined. In many wells that have
been sunk the water is strongly i'm
preguated with oil. AS a number Of
places along the river where water
from springs flow into the stream, es-
pecially near the butte, the flow of
oil is marked on the surface of the
water.
Mr. Wilson is DESTROYS of making a
test by sinking well to a depth of
1000 feet if necessary. He is willing
to provide funds to pay the wages of
help and cost of piping and other ma
terial. He believes a gusher will be
found between 1000 and 1000 feet

already discovered some mistakes and
inequalities in the equalization made
by said board, and upon suggestion to
the state board at once proceeded to
adopt the view of the tax commission.
SO assessors and county boards of
equalization should give careful con-
slderat1on to the opinions and sugges-
| tons OF said tax commission and con-
firm to them whenever such sugges-
tons will make the tax more uniform
upon the same class Of property.
The issues involved in this case af-
feet every board and every officer up
on whom devolves and duties under
our revenue laws. 1t affects the judg-
ment and discretion of the assessors
when assessing property; county
boards when equalizing property in
their several counties; the state board
OF equalization when equalizing prop
erty between the counties and when
assessing railroads and telegraph
lines; and the county commissioners
when fixing the levy for the purposes
OF taxation, and the county collectors
when collecting taxes. The tax COM
mission under the provisions of said
act mas certain advisory and supervi-
sorry power over such officers and
boards.
THE legislature, however. in enact
ing that law did not intend to de-
prive any OF the constitutional Off
GERS or boards of duties imposed upon
them by the express or implied provi-
sions of the constitution The said
tax commissioners established for the
purpose of gathering information and
advising with all officers connected
with the revenue of the state, and it
was not intended that the commits
sion should usurp or perform the du-
ties or the assessors or boards of
equalization of the state. 1t is clear
that said act is not in conflict with
the provisions of the constitution when
construed according to the intent of
the legislature. The tax commission
is clearly an advisory board.
I'VE therefore hold under the provi-
sions OF said tax commission act that
the tax commission is not entitled to
peremptory writ of mandate requiring
the board of equalization of Bannock
county to enter or cause to be entered
upon the assessment roll of said coun-
~ the valuation of said property of
Franklin & Hayes in the amount fixed
in said order of said board The al
Tentative writ is quashed and the per-
emptory writ of mandate denied No
costs are awarded in this proceeding"

DAVIS THEATRE.
Presenting Two Big Feature Photo
 plays This Afternoon.

For the change of programme today this cosy theatre has a well selected array of photoplays, including two big features. A Daughters Sacrifice is the title of the special which is a sen- sational and deeply appealing drama in two parts. The story is a powerful one and shows many aquatic feats combining skill with fearless daring seldom seen in motion pictures. Fea- ture No. is an American twopart drama. A more inspiring production of adventure and romance would be hard to find. The title is Truth in the Wilderness and deals with the differ ert natures of two women-one in the east and the other in the west. A pretty Reliance photo drama with this show is The Wager and shows that any child of the slums raised with your child will turn out as well. That is the sum and substance of The Wager and a beautiful story proves that this is so. The comedy is a Thanhouser called The Brethren of the Sacred Fish and for real clean, enjoyable comedy this one will be hard to beat. Manager Craig will continue to sing some of the old time songs that everyone loves to hear. If you want to spend a pleas ant evening just drop in to the cool Davis; you will find everything to your satisfaction.
