Dear Madam: I started to earn my
way In life nearly twenty years ago.
At sixteen I was q kitchen or cooks

came a salesgirl. clerk. bookkeeper
and finally a trained nurse. The size
Of the wage earned by the woman

tlon or loose morals. because II sup

fall by the wayslde and but adds to
temptation. The wages OF women
workers have never been higher than
they are now and morals have never
been lower. so. while l admit being
liberal minded. ] will not argue for
a higher arbitrary wage.
What Is the cause OF increasing
immortality? Simply process OF
nature, the same as life and prop
erty are being widely devastated
throughout the several States at
present by floods. Man has taken
a chance and daringly encroached too
far on the channels OF the various
rivers and has lost his life and
property accordingly. Woman has
arrogantly encroached too far on
the channel OF mans life and Is now
simply reaplng the results.
Conditions. permitting women to
be employed outside their norma!
sphere, form the basis OF her pres
ent miserable lot. The life OF the
woman stenographer illustrates this.
This young woman works and
studies until she Is twenty-five years
OF age. or thoroughly efficient. at
wage barely averaging her keep
from the time Of beginning until she
reaches a state Of proficiency. At
twenty-five years Of age she. nor
mally. expects to marry. When
married her years Of training and
worth as a wage Garner are not
only an absolute waste but a dis
turblng factor In her new life. As
she begins work at an early and i'm
questionable age amid surroundings
which tend toward the utter de-
skucuen Of home mskIny qualities.

A young woman who tells US that
she is q suiiragist and q socialist
adds the comment I have quoted to
the admission that wages have little
to do with morality. She offers also
the highly pertinent remark that the
wages Of women have never been
higher and morals have never been
lower than they are now. I can't
agree with the statement that
woman has arrogantly encroached
too far on the channel Of mans
life." 1t would be Just as fair
to say that a person thrown over
board at sea and told to sink or swim
had encroached too far on the ocean
and was simply reaping the result
Of his temerity. Women are driven

gan, who yesterday. testifying in the
Harvester THust dissolution suit. re-
scented the statement that his testi-
mony did not make him immune from
criminal prosecution. again to-day
had a sharp tilt with Assistant At
tomey General Grosvenor.
The witness heartily denounced the
United States Government for not
calling him in the earlier stages of
the Harvester investigation.
Mr.. Perkins flushed a furious red
when the prosecutor informed him he
was not immune from criminal ac-
ton. He exclaimed:
Il recognize that the Government
has been very discourteous so far to
me in this matter. I was very much
surprised that you did not call me as
a witness for the Government"
You are here as a witness at the
behest of Edgar A. Bancroft, Of the
International Harvester Company,
both of whom are defendants here"
said Mr.. Grosvenor.
Let it be understood that what
ever you testify to here does not in
any way mean that you are granted
immunity from further prosecution

AN ENGLISH BILLION

EnglanIa dbillions is a million
times a million. This is quickly writ.
ten and quicker still pronounced,
but no man is able to count it.
You will count 100 or 10 a minute,
but let US suppose you go up as
high as 200 a minute hour after
hour. At that rate you would
count $4,000 an hour 2SS, 900 a
day or los, 100, 900 in a year. Let
US suppose nov that Adam, at the
beginning % his existence had begun
to count had continued to do so and
was counting still. Had such a
thing been possible he would not
yet have finished the task of count
ing a billion. To count a million
would require a person to count 200
a minute for a period of 1912
years 542 days 5 hours 20 minutes,
provided that ne should count cum
tinuously. But suppose we allow
the counter twelve hours daily for
rest, eating and sleeping.
Then he would need l8,O25 years
3l9 days 10 hours 45 minutes in
which to complete the task.

FUNNY ASSESSMENTS

We have received a copy of the
report of the Nevada Citizens
Economy and Taxation COMMITTEE
and find it a very interesting book
of 100 pages.
1t goes thoroughly into the pres
ent conditions Of the state and sug-
gests remedies that deserve the
serious consideration of our law
makers. An example of the in
CAPABILITIES in the assessment of
property the following statement
is taken from one of the 1912
assessment rolls of the state:
Personal property lou horse,
l stallion, / jack, 1000 stock cattle,
rs hogs, 10000 sheep, wagons and
machinery. Total assessed for
S25. OOO."
The committee call attention to
the fact that if the sheep had been
assessed at the price fixed by the
State board OF assessors. $3.50 per
head, the other live stock, including
10000 stock cattle was not assessed
at all. Another stockmau assessed
for 500 sheep is reported as having
sold sheep to the value Of s23, 900
during he season. The assessment
Of real estate shows many Unequal
ties. Some are assessed as low as
ten percent of their value and
other as high as Or per cent, while
the small homes in the towns are
assessed from so to rs percent Of
their value.
There should be some way to
correct these gross inequalities and
the legislature should strive earn
estly to find it. II is useless to de-
pend upod the present method of
equalization. We have been q tax.
