BATTLE TOMORROW
OVER TAX RATES
House District Committee to
Test Strength on Johnson
and George Plans.

\ Gattle royal in tine ranks Of the House
District committee will take place tornor-
row when the full committee meets to de-
eide whether it will stand by Chairman
johnson or Representative George in the
extremely important matter of reporting
cut 81 measure for the District of Column
bia. As the matter now stands, the adj
herents OF the George plan to provide
law for real estate assessment ard tax
alton only are absolutely firm in their
resolution not to vote for any bill which
Will carry with il Il hasty amendment
to place real estate. personal property.
tangible and intangible. all in the same
class as far as tax rates are concerned.
The committee Will vote to include per-
sonal property in the bill it is probable.
That was the attitude of the members
yesterday after the discussion on the sub
.iect had~ctosed. and it has not changed.
However. very important feature of the
proposed legislation is the johnson pro-
posa TO enact fixed minimum tax rate
of 81 80 hundred on the actual value.
As outlined in The Star of last Sunday,
Representative George will not stand for
this amendment at all, nor will several
other members of the committee who be-
Heve ii is wiser to adopt budget plan
for the District of Columbia and have
flexible tax rate suited to the needs OF the
community.
The minimum S1.:0 rate is looked upon
as attempt to do away with the half
and-half plan. and was frankly char
acterized such by Representative
crosser Yesterday.
II would appear now that Representa-
tive Johnson had the stronger support
and that the bill will be reported even
tIally, if not tomorrow, with enough of
the Johnson and Prouty ideas embodied
TO take it away from the original idea
as established by Representative George.
Single Takers Stand Firmly.
The single takers of the committee
Will never agree to include personal
property in any measure to be voted for
by them. Representative George. who
has studied the local situation. will never
agree to the proposal that there should
ae a minimum rate. He fatty declares
that it Will probably raise too much rev.
enue.
That the bill as proposed by Represent
atives johnson and rrouty is a weapon
in ,ne hanus of the enemies of the half
and-half plan is said TO be easily seen
by the fact that under the terms of the
proposed tax rates the District would
raise annually between S11.OH,OOO and
Sl2.WO.o,1 which is about twice as much
as now required to pay.

Is the City Saloon Big Enough to Rule the
State and the Nation?

Ohio dry counties had saloons 'Wshed on them
by Cincinnati and Cleveland. 1t done III the
name of Home Rule and Personal Liberty. This in
cdent of the war against rum suggests the thought
that the big city with its intrenched organized vice
cohorts, representing the saloon and its allies, will
drag the moral standard of the state down the level
of the big city unless the lifts the standard Of the
city up to it.
The vote on the Prohibition and Home Rule
amendments in Ohio shows conclusively that the state
outside of the big cities does not want the saloon
Seventy-one of the eighty eight counties voted dry.
This fact is being emphasized in this state
by the local option vote that is being taken in the
various cities that became wet territory under the
provisions of the misnamed Home Rule Amendment
The first city to vote the question was Find
lay county seat city of $1,000, which went dry by
larger majority than it gave for the Prohibition
amendment. A few days later Mt. Vernon followed
Findlays example and went dry by substantial
jority Numerous smaller villages have also voted
and the drys have won in every instance. Elections
already called by the drys for some thirty
cities and villages, and the Home Rule Amendment
has been in effect at this writing but little
week.
AS indicative of the apparent resentment of Gin
cinnati saloon rule cite the of Richmond vii
lage, Lake county, which went dry December 8, by
a majority of TO- At the Rose law election, when
Lake county went dry, Richmond the only spot
in the county that gave wet majority. Either the
citizens of this little village having tested the dry
policy have found so good that they desire
tnue it, or resentment of Cncnnatis interference is
so strong that they willing to vote for something
they do want in order express that resentment
Either proposition bodies no good for the brewers.

They will probably gain but little territory in spite
of the repeal of county option.
Ohios experience ought to in showing
every where the real cades of the liquor forces
Over onehaf Of the saloons of the nation are in
fourteen cities How are they to be captured
The liquor leaders have been complaining that it
IS unfair to let hlrtyslX states where the aggregate
population is less than the aggregate population of
the remaining twelve vote the nation dry.
This, however, is the only way whereby any
amendment to the national constitution can be made
Would beer and whisky have the temerty to ask an
exception to this method?
But if this method of amending the national con-
sttuton is unfair what do the liquor interests say
to the proposition of permitting city two cities
OF state to dictate the policies of the state?
If one is fair the other if it is question of
the citys organized vice VS.. the dry vote of the
city and the country outside the city who would post
pone the decisive battle on the issue?
Isn't that what the Sheppard-Hobson resolution
calls for? The drys ready but it's we'll to realize
how strongly fortified the saloons are in the big cities
and that because of their fortified position they are al
ever increasing to the state in which the CITY
is located

added it is generally used in proper
tions of 20 per cent beef and 80 per
cent lean pork trimmings. Some
prefer more beef and make the proper
ton As per cent beef to SO per cent
pork.
Pork sausage may be stored in

PRONOUNCED FRAUD

The Canadian Loaning Company, of

vertised to loan money at 8 per cent,
and in which it is said many Colorado

earnings, is being shown up by the
newspapers as deliberate fraud,

Pork Sausage on the Farm.

In making sausage, only clean, fresh
meat from healthy animals should be
used and this meat should be
thoroughly chilled after killing the
animal Meat for sausage is generally
taken from the shoulders, neck, and
other lean trimmings, and pork fat is
taken from the neck or back. In case
beef is added, it may be taken from
the cheek meat, neck, or other lean
trimmings.
There are numerous ways to COM
pound pork sausage. Lean pork trim
mings, or the same with small
amount of fat added, or combinations
of beef and pork trimmings may be
used, with varied selections of spices.
The meat is first run through chop

UNSIGHTLY PlMPLES ON FACE

New Sharon, Iowa.-"TwO or three
years ago pimples began to come on
my face and had dandruff. The pim-
pies made a very ,unsightly appear
ance. They were red and numerous.
some came to head and festered and
the itching caused me to scratch them.
The dandruff on my head could be
plainly seen.
II tried several remedies but they
only temporarily relieved me. I had
been bothered with the trouble two or
three years when I decided to try Gu
ticura Soap and Ointment So I sent
for free sample and noticed relief
from them, and bought more. I used
two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two

GOOD TREE PRUNING POINTS
Object Should Be to Preserve symme.
: tricaI, WeII-BaIanced Top, Open
In the Center.

There can be no ironclad rules laid
down relative to the pruning of a tree.
No two trees are exactly alike, and
each one must be treated individually.
The object should be to preserve a
symmetrical, well-balanced top, open
in the center, without crowding the
branches in any part.
All branches which grow toward the
center of the tree, and those which
cross or interfere with each other,
should be removed. A fne-toothed
pruning saw is best for this purpose
and the cuts should be made smoothly
and close to the body or main branch
OF the tree from which. the superfluous
branch is pruned.
There Is usually little ring or en-
largement at the base of each branch;
the saw-cut should be made midway
and downward through this enlarge
ment.

NOT A PROMISING MARKET
Seasickness Probably Responsible for
Actors Disposition of Cargo
Of Potatoes.

The late William H. Smith Of man.
agerlal fame and Charley Backus OF
minstrel fame many years ago en-
barked from San Francisco for Aus
tralla on business venture.
The captain of the boat, who was
an intimate friend of each, suggested
that the voyagers lay in a cargo Of
potatoes to dispose of on their arrival,
there being big demand for them
there. The 'Murphys" were accord
ingly purchased and placed on board.
Now, Mr.. Backus was always Tecog-
nized as a great comedian, but with
the deck of a ship instead of stage
as his rostrum he wasn't so funny.
In short, Mr.. Backus was seasick.
Mr.. Smith proved an excellent sailor,
and while Backus was stretched out
on chair Smith said, Charley, in
case you die, what shall do with
those potatoes?"
And poor Backus, who thought he
was dying, said: go to hades with
them"

MINERAL CONTENT OF APPLES
Idaho Experiment Station Finds Ash
Amounts to z to .35 Per Cent OF
Fresh Mature Fruit.

Fruits of all kinds that grow on
plants which receive the largest por-
ton Of their food supply through the
soil always contain rather large
amount of mineral substances.
In the apple, for instance, 1t has
been found by work carried on in the
department of agricultural chemistry
of the Idaho station that the ASH
amounts from 2 to .35 per cent OF the
fresh mature fruit This total ash Is
obtained by drying suitable quantity
(three and one-third pounds) of the
Quartered apples at degree of about
forty degrees G.. for several days ana
then burning it in an electrical furnace
at dull red heat until practically all
the carbon is consumed. The total
amount apparently does not vary to
any great extent with varieties or with
irrigation or non-irrigation.
When this ash, which, from the ma
jority of varieties is perfectly white,
is further subjected to analyses, the
following are the most important eleI
ments found: Silicon, iron, aluminium,
phosphorus, manganese, calcium, mag.
nesium, potassium, chlorine and sui
phur.
Although no one has been able to de-
termine the exact function Of these
various elements In plants and fruits,
it is generally believed that sulphur
and phosphorus enter into the living
substance; that potassium, magne-
SUM, calcium and iron, although not
entering into the living substance, are
essential, but owing to the fact that
they are so widely distributed in the
soil, are absorbed by the root hairs
of the tree, and find their way to the
fruit through the tree sap.
