SALTS IS FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says we'll

which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or Your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a Tablespoonful in
a glass Of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts Is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM

generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine 80 it no longer

then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Look years youngerl Try Grandma's
recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and nobody will know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tes
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray;
also ends dandruff, itching scalp ana
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make It
at home, which is mussy and trouble.

Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You will get large
bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it 30 naturally and
evenly. You dampen . sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand It
time; BY morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look yean

ed the amendment to the Constitu-
ton so as to make way for this
new system, which cannot be ex-
actely defined because it must be
made by the Legislature after the
amendment of the Constitution
but it is pretty we'll known what
the system is.
All property will be classified as
the railroads classify freight, then
each classification will have a tax
rate to suit the classification.
Then out of these classifications
the income from taxation NAV &c
segregated for special purposes, as,
for example, it might be provided
that the taxes from corporations
would 60 to the State, taxes on city
property might 60 to the cities, and
taxes on land an live stock might
60 to the counties. This would
put an end to the inequalities in
county taxes practiced in the diff
ferent counties of the State.
Those who are opposed to the
amendment, because they don't
want the new system, argue tina
equal valuation of property and
equal tax rate is fair, They admit
the deficiencies of the old system,
but say that the principle is right
and what is needed is good, fair as
SCISSORS. They say the new system
would in short while become even
more deficient than the present
one; that, generally speaking, the
average legislature would try to
make the classification and eradua,
ton OF property on the right princi.
pie, but if Legislature should be
radical in its tendencies, all property
would suffer. They claim that the
purpose of the Constitution is tc
protect the people against radical
legislation, and if we remove the
constitutional restrictions, it is in.

Those who favor the amendment

out constitutional restriction.
Attorney General T. j. Beckett
made a report to the commission
which is printed and probably can
be procured by letter to the Secre.
tary OF State, Raleigh, or to Mr..
Beckett himself. Mr.. Beckett seems
to be in large degree the leader of
the movement in favor of the re-
peal of the constitutional restrict
ION, but all the members of the
commission seem to favor it. In
his report to the commission, and
IN his speech at Wrightsville before
the Press Association. Mr.. Beckett
has made an able and admirable
presentation OF the subject. His re-
port and speech ought to be put
within reach of every citizen in the
State.

restriction is necessary to abolish

have been working so the State

the State to see to it that none but

lature- The vestment of such DOW
er in the Legislature might mean
much in the hands of good men,
but if it ever fells into the hands of
a lot OF bad men, it would certain
ly mean much woe.
The Federal Constitution has a
uniform tax rate clause, but of
course the Federal Government does
not deal with valuation as much
as the State Government does.
lhe tariff duties are very largely
specific, but those which are ad
valorem have always given more
or less trouble. The excise taxes
on whiskey and tobacco are by the
gallon and pound, and not ad valo-
rem. So, also, is the tax on oleom-
'argararine by the pound and not
advalorem.
The income tax is necessarily one
whose values are liable to vary.
and 1t will probably give trouble in
proportion to disagreement about
valuation.
Whatever basis is made for the
laying of taxes is bound to dive
more or less trouble, so whichever
course we take we will probably
not escape trouble.
We are now considering a chance

trouble the present plan makes.

The TAX AMENDMENT.
A DISCUSSION BY D. A.
TOMPKINS.

To the Editor of The Observer:
The present State Consti tuition
was made when the State was far
more agricultural than it is now.
1t provides for the purpose of taxa
ton that all property must be uni
formily valued and the tax rate,
made uniform on these uniform
valuations throughout the State.
This stem has become notori-
ously bad. Assessors made at
temptS at uniform valuations, but
fail to get a satisfactory result.
Throughout the State the assess
ments and the taxes are lacking in
uniformity. For several years now
the subject of taxation has been an
acute one. Efforts of the State legis
lature to equalize taxes through
commission or board, or otherwise
have been disheartening, failures.
This provision of the Constitution
that property must be valued and
taxed at uniform rate over the
whole State was made a long time
ago. Conditions have changed since
it was made, and the uniform as
sessments and the uniform tax rate
do not fit the new conditions.
Other States have gone through
the same experience. Some of the
other States have devised a plan to
repeal the constitutional condition
of uniformity, and leave it to the
Legislature to levy taxes, so that all
classes of property may fare as
nearly alike as possible.
In order to put this new plan in
to operation, it is necessary to re-
peal the constitutional clause COM
polling a uniform assessment and
uniform tax rate. This uniform
system used to work very we'll, but
it does so no more. If the constitu-
tional clause making it compulsory
be amended so as to allow the Leeis-
lature to make any rates they please
and any classifications they please,
then those who advocate the repeal
say that much, better system can
be devised.
There has been State commits
sion working on this subject for
some time. The commission is
composed of the following members

frank BURBECK, one Of the best
road race drivers that ever sat at
4 the wheel Of a racing automobile,
is to pilot the Fiat entered in the Ell
Phoenix road race by F. Ballard,
of Los Angeles. Cal Roy G. Martin, Of

that Burbeck was en- route TO this city

The name Of Frank Burbeck is
known to every mOtOrist and racing
fan of the automobile world. He has
driven in some Of the most notable
road races. Two years ago he piloted
the winning car in the Los Angeles
Sacramento race He won other fast
events on the Pacific coast. Last year
he drove a car in the Los Angeles
Phoenix race, but met the same fate
that befell Barney Oldfield. His car
caught fire and broke down. Both race
drivers limped into Phoenix on two
cylinders.
Wien the Fiat shipped here by Mr..
Ballard was entered, the drivers name
was not mentioned. Neither did it APP
pear on his entry blank. Mr.. Martin
first announced it Thursday He states
that Burbeck signed a contract to drive
the car for Mr. Ballard with the UNI
derstanding that if he could not take
his seat at the wheel an Italian driver
well known on the coast, would substi-
tute.
Drivers returning to FL Paso from

they encountered a severe hailstorm
near Deming. Hail stones almost as
lare as marbles fell for nearly an hour.
The air cooled and little rain fell.
Slight rains have been falling over the
Animas bog in New Mexico and that
part of the course is very heavy.

that the 10 mile stretch across the boys
