not approached by any other state.
The report covered Montana, Idaho,

Washington and Oregon. OF that
group. Mr.. Davies stated, SIS that most
source of state and local revenue
The special taxes fixed on corpora
tions for state purposes yielded about
seyenty-six per cent of the required
revenue.
Commissioner Davies stated that
in contrast to the use of special taxes
on corporations In California was
the almost complete dependence on
and New Mexico.'' Montana, the re-
port showed, applied a gross-receipts
tax to railroad and express COM
panies
A noteworthy feature of the tax
system in the Pacific and mountain
crop, Mr.. Davies stated, is that most
of the state constitutions of the
North Atlantic states in which only
few fundamental principles are
laid down.
Commissioner Davies declared that
..the. failure of many state central
boards to announce definitely the
methods used in assessing CORPORA
tions delays the solving of the im-
portant problems of correct corDo-
rate assessment Moreover" he
added, publicity in this matter 51s
the only means of guarding against
inaccuracy and unfairness. In
many states of the western group It
was impossible to estimate the spe-
cific amount of taxes paid by the
corporations as a whole. In Utah
the corporations assessed by the
state paid about twenty-three per
cent of the state taxes.

How Interest Grows

For all-around productiveness and
safety the owner of a modest sum of
money can find few. If any, invest
ments equivalent to an account in the
savings bank. An instance at Lowell,
Mass, demonstrates the truth of the
statement.
On September IS, 1858, some person
deposited 500 in the Carney bank and
on July IS, 1859, another 500. These
were the sole deposits ever made. On
October II, 1896, the account, let
alone for 3S years, had grown through
interest to $1311. Two years later the
savings had become $14O0.
The depositor then drew 500 and
a week later $500 more. He thus took
out twice as much as he ever put in
and still had $1,000 on deposit to his
credit.
This sum vas allowed to remain
and by November Of 1911 it had be-
come 1882. In June of 1912 the &C.
count was finally closed and the
amount drawn was $1624. The depos-
itor had put in only 5000, but he re-
ceived it back and nearly $1,000 more.
His money always was ready for
him. 1t could any day be paid in full.
1t was at work for it's owner day and
night, month after month, year upon
year. and growing for nearly two gen.
erations. Without risk worth men
tioning it had multiplied itself over
nine times.

DEATH LIST IS LARGE
Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption
Claim Many Victims

Nagasaki, Japan, Jan. 13.-Indica-
tions are today that the death list
from the earthquake and volcanic dis
turbance around KagOshima will run
into the thousands. Government au-
thorities said that any official esti-
mate of the extent of the disaster
would be impossible for several days.
The population of the city of Kag-
oshima which is buried almost COM
pletely in volcanic ashes and stones,
was 10000 at the last census. The
population of the adjoining island of
Sakura, the center of the disturbance
is given as $4,000. On this island
hundreds are reported to have perish.
ed beneath the stream of lava from
the volcano of Sakura-Jima. Many
more undoubtedly were drowned
attempting to escape.
Doctors and hospital attendants
have been sent to the scene, but it is
difficult to reach the spot as railroad
communication is impeded by the
heaps of ashes and the tracks have
been disclosed by the earthquakes:
The violence of the eruption of Sa.
kura-Jima is so great that showers OF
dust are falling here although the dis.
lance between Nagasaki and the is.
land Of sakura is about 80 miles.

New York, Jan. 13.-With the mer-

early tonight, New York was in the
grip of a cold snap of unusual severity
which caused three deaths from ex-
posture. Northern districts in New
York showed a drop in the tempera-
ture running to a minimum of AZ de-
grees below.
A wind that at times blew Is miles
an hour, added to the suffering. The
unemployed and homeless were driven
to shelter. The city began the work
of turning a recreation pier and char
tiles department boats into lodging
abodes. while the board of aldermen
adopted a resolution favoring a civic
employment agency to relieve these
persons.

AFTER HUERTA, WHAT?

President Wilson has had a confer
ence with Personal Envoy Lind. who
has gone back to his post at Vera
ClaG. When asked if he considered
the outlook more hopeful. Mr.. Wilson
made it clear that his view of the
situation had not changed.
Hence we must infer that Mr.. Will
son still believes that it is only a
DIGESTION of time when Huerta will be
tions in arms against him and through
the effects of the international isola-
,ioE in which Mr.. Wilson has endea-
vored. with considerable success, to
place him.
But after Huerta, what? Will the
v%ictors. or any of them, be any better
able than Huerta to restore peace
and keep order? At this distance the
grounds for so believing do not seem
broad and strong.
Suppose the next nominal "chief of
the state" in Mexico-Carranza or
whoever it may be-is no more able
than Madero or Huerta to make his
authority effective over the whole
country? How long is Mexico to be
permitted to remain the cockpit of M
archy it has been since the fall of
Diaz?
How long will the European powers
whose diplomacy does not proceed on
the idealistic and highly moral ground
of Mr.. Wilson's, keep hands off while
we pursue such purely negative pol
icies as Mr.. Wilson's toward the prob
lem of Huerta?
Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy, des-
pite the meddling reputation it is CIV
ing us throughout Latin America, has
been accepted by America because it
kept us, at least temporarily, out of
intervention.
We do not want to intervene. We
do not want the job of cleaning up
Mexico. 1t would compel us, in order
to succeed in it, to bloody uses of
power to which we are utterly ad-
verse. It would be too dirty" a job
for the American moral stomach to
tolerate. except or clear proof of ma.
tional necessity.
But suppose it becomes a national
necessity? Suppose we face a de-
mand from some strong European
power or from q combination of such
powers that we either take charge OF
Mexico or stand aside and let them dc
the work which we refuse? Such q
situation may easily arise. What
then?
Well, in that event, Mr.. Wilson can
be certain Of n thing. His Mobile
pledge against further conquest" will
count for nothing. The American PEG.

The Greatest Water Power

Regardless of the statistics set
forth by the conservation congress
and the residents of Niagara Falls, N.
y, we still contend. says the Atchison
Globe, that a woman's tears are the
worlds greatest water power. Next
to a woman's blood. a mar breads
the sight of a woman's tears more
than any other liquid exhibition, and
therefore will go further to dry them
up.
Women wanting their rights have
long known they can get them quicker
by crying than by voting. which may
explain a lack of interest in the lat
ter direction. But conservation is q
great institution, and women should
want something worth while before
crying for it. A man will get used to
almost anything in time.

Mexican Treasury is Empty

Mexico City, Jan. 13.-The Mexican
government will default in the pay
ment Of semi-annual interest on the
bonds of the international and exter-
nal debts due this month, according
to a decision reached at a cabinet
council which lasted until midnight.
The decision of the council was an.
nounced by Querido Moheno, foreign
minister, who declared he had been
instructed to notify all foreign gov
ernments of the default.
The principal internal and external
loans of Mexico are held for the most
part in the United States, Great Brit
ain and Germany.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE COMING

According to a writer in Leslie's
ome have been endowed with the
franchise on equal terms with men,
and the order in which they acted:
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho,
Washington, California, Oregon, Kan
sas and Arizona. Women were grant
ed the franchise in Wyoming in 1869,
back in the early territorial days, and
they have held it since. They OBJ
tanned it in Oregon, Kansas and Ari-
IONA last year.
In several states, including New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
suffrage amendments are before the
people, to be voted upon at an early
day. Some of those states will un-
doubtedly pass them. The propagan-
da is making advances along the
whole line. Illinois recently gave a
restricted ballot to women, but they
seek complete enfranchisement, and
they expect to get it in time to use
it in two or three years.
The "free" states have now been in
CFoaSeu 10 nine. lnoSo nine states
have a population of over 5000, 900
persons at this time. This is a small
er number than that of the single
state of New York, and only about
as large as that Of Pennsylvania, but
there is a prospect that both these
states will be in the suffrage column
at an early day.
The opposition to the ballot for wo-
men is rapidly losing its vogue. This
hostility has still a hold on the south,
but ever there it cannot hold out
long against the more enlightened
spirit of the age. Although President
Wilson has not been an enthusiastic
friend of the cause, he is now count
ed in favor of it. One of his daugh-
ters Is a suffragist.
It should be remembered too, that
the women who have been using their
influence on u national legislature
in favor of the ballot are not window
breakers or advocates of violence, but
urge their cause in a legitimate way,
and thus stand an excellent chance to
continue making proselytes.

Will Reduce Cost Of livinu

Chicago, Jan. 15.-A chain of retail
groceries and coal markets, financed
by the city of Chicago and operated
for the benefit of those who are out
of work but still have some small
savings, will start in a short time, it
was announced today. City and coun.
ty officials and labor unions are back
of the movement. An item of $4,000
to provide capital for the venture has
been placed in the city's annual ap-
preparation bill by the finance COM
mittee.
1t is proposed to rent stores in diff.
ferent parts of the city, with a gen.
eral superintendent and a force of
clerks for each. Supplies of food will
be purchased at wholesale by John
Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, to be retailed at
cost to the consumers, cash payments
being required in all cases.

Cows As Basis For Credit

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 15.-E. T. Ran
SON, a banker Of Wichita, told the
Kansas Improved Stock Breeders as
sociation today that all bankers should
change their system of credit from the
steer to the COW.
He was discussing the conservation
of the COW, and asserted that when a
bank extended credit to farmers on
steers it was a credit that meant the
removal of the steers to a butcher
shop.
"But when the banker gives a far
mer credit with which to buy COWS,
he does something that means add.
tional animals on the farm each year.
