BASED ON SCIENTIFIC WORK

Notwithstanding the growth in re-
 cent years of the work of the Geologi- cal Survey along practical economic 1 lines, scientific work has not been neglected, according to the annual re- l port of the director for last year. In fact, in the Survey, the scientific in- vestigations are inseparable from the economic work, though the one or the other may predOminate in purpose ac- cording to the needs of the particular research in hand
 In any field, economic work of the highest rank is impossible without full knowledge of the scientific laws and principles pertaining to the subject of the work; but, as there is no appli- cation of geology which does not in volye unsolved problems, some of them of the highest importance, the best knowledge available is neverthe- less relative. It thus follows that the broad and searching observations which should accompany every piece of good economic work comprehend data that are eventually combined in the construction of new scientific hy- potheses, some of which, as more ob- servations accumulate, grow into es- tablished laws or principles that are in turn of the greatest practical conse- quence
 Thus, the detailed studies of the metalliferous deposits in one region or another bring to light evidence from which to determine the genesis 2 of the ores and the modes or condi- tions of their occurrance, and the economic inquiry becomes more in-2 telligent and successful when once this new principle regarding the mode or an ore occurrance is understood.

PRuRIENcE ANp pRupERY

Two of those taken in the dragnel of the Chicago vice investigation com mittee, in the raid of a notorious restaurant, proved to be prominent Peoria women, away from home on a visit, who went into mysteries when the place was raided, and who were greatly embarrassed" when called upon by the commission to give their evidence The commission mercifully kept their names from publication, as they appeared in print designated merely by initials.
 Mrs. J. T." testified that she saw a girl raise her skirts, but did not catch the words of the song, adding:
 T belong to the vice crusaders in Peoria myself, but never want my daughter to see the night life in the Chicago cafes"
 Vice crusading," judging by Mrs. J. T. 's' experience, is what might be classed as an extra hazardous avoca- tion, something like visiting a pest house. where contagion is rife. A "vice crusader in Peoria, she could there handle prurient topics with i'm punity, but having caught the infec- tion to such an extent as to succumb to a desire to pursue her sociological researches" unofficially and informal ly, in Chicago, she suffered the mis- haps of an arrest, mysteries, a ride in the patrol wagon, and other embar- rassments.
 The moral is, to go ''vice crusading" in ones own jungle; for, otherwise. one is very likely to get deal of un- pleasant publicity and to be chased with a lot of horrid people whose minds are frankly prurient and de based, and who don't trouble them selves to cover the nakedness of their corruption with the cloak of hypocri sy, or, let us say, ''vice crusading."

TAvENNER SAYS COST UF LIVING
 MUST COME DOWN ,NOW
(By CLYDE H. TAvENNER, M. e.

Especial to The Yuma Daily Examiner
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.- An immediate cut of $300,000,000 in the cost of living eventually slash of half a billion That is what the Democratic leaders of the House be lieve the income tax will do for the American people The relief prom ised by the Democratic party for the terrible pressure of the costs of the necessities of life seems to be at hand.
 Only experience will reveal the full benefit to the public of the income tax. The annual saving over the counters of the nations grocery stores, butcher shops and clothing emporiums is ex- pected ultimately to reach $5OO,OOO, 1000. Some of the more sanguine regard even this estimate as too conservative. The saving may reach $6OO,OOO,OOo, or even more.
 The estimate is reached in this way:
 From British income tax experience tables, the experts figure that the an nual revenue to be derived from in- come taxation under the pending bill will be from $SO,00O,OO0 to $100,0O0,- GOO. In writing the new tariff rates, the Ways and Means Committee has taken cognizance of this probable rev enue and has ioped off duties on neces- sities which under the present Payne Aldrich law aggregate $5O,O0O,0O0 annually. This $5O,OOO,OOO, now paid by the people in the cost of living, is to be paid out of the income tax rev enue
 But every dollar saved in tariff amounts to five or six dollars in the final retail prices paid by the con sumer. This is because the many mid dlemen who handle an article from the stage of raw material to that of finished product each assesses as rpofit a certain percentage of the

.TRANPs SHOW SPEED | N 4 STOLEN
 HAND GAR
SHOW THEIR HEELS TO DEPUTY SHERIFF PERRY, AT eILA
 BEND SATURDAY

PHOENIX, April 21-Chased for 26 miles on the main line of the Southern Pacific, from Smyrr to Sentinel, four ordinary American tramps made their pursuer, Charles T. Perry, deputy sheriff of this county with headquar- ters at Gila Bend, sit up and take notice. The four tramps were on a hand car which they had stolen from a section house at Smyrr, and Perry was on horseback. The result of the chase was that at Sentinel the tramps aban- doned the hand car and the three of them caught freight for the west.
 The fourth man. Sam Wood by name, was caught by the deputy and brought to Phoenix Saturday morning by Depu- sy Perry, and sentnced to spend 60 days in the county jail.
 He was charged with a misde- meanor Wood proved to the satisfac- tion of the justice of the peace at Gila Bend that he did not break into the section house at Smyrr,, and could only be charged with minor offense.
 Perry, immediately upon the cap ture of Wood, sent out descriptions of the three other men. Two of them were picked up at Yuma. They gave their names as Charles Stewart and Frank Golf. They will be brought back to this county and tried for bur glary. The fourth man made good his escape.

value of the commodity he handles But, in assessing this profit, he in cludes the tariff in the value of the commodity. Thus the people pay not only the tariff but also pay profits on the tariff. Every dollar of increased price for the raw material assessed by the tariff becomes five or six dol lars by the time it reaches the con sumer.
 Representative Cordell Hull, of Ten nessee, the member of the Ways ant Means Committee who drew the in come tax provision, prophetically sees the day when all government rev enue will be derived from just two principal forms of direct taxation the income tax and the inheritance tax
 "The rates in the pending bill are but tentative" he said "They can and will be changed by succeeding congresses.
 "The measure is designed to fit in with the budget system of estimating government expenses. The day will come when government expenses will be appropriated for in an annual budget bill. On the basis of this, the amount of revenue needed by the gov ernment for the succeeding year will be estimatd In order to raise just the revenue needed, Congress will set the income tax to fit the case. There will be few customs duties. There will be, however, an inheritance tax to re- lieve some of the tax burden on in- comes
 The estimates of the Ways and Means Committee show vividly how wealth has concentrated in this coun- try. Although incomes of an low as $4,000 per year will be subject to taxa tion, yet less than one per cent oi our total population is affected by the bill.

4 CITIZEN OF PHOENIX ACTED IN ROLE OF
 PEACEMAKER

PHOENIX, April 21.-Phoenix may lay some remote claim to credit for the restoration of amicable relations between Bryan and Champ Clark on Friday night. This peace was brought about at a dinner gwen by Ira B. Bennett, editor of the Washington Post.
 MT. Bennett was once Phoenix newspaper man. He came to this city in the spring of 1893 and was employ ed for several months as city editor of the old Phoenix Herald, which was taken over by The Republican in 1898 and discontinued on the theory that there was one too many papers in the town at that time Mr. Bennett had been engaged in newspaper work at various towns in Southern Califor- mia and had ownd paper at Ensenada, Lower California.
 He remained in Phoenix until the fall of that year when he drifted on- ward as so many scores have done before and since. Some years later he became Washington correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle. He revisited Phoenix about six years ago in company with Arthur Ruhl, who has since risen to distinction as writer for Golfers and other periodicals.
