THANKSGIVING CHEER.
115 Baskets of Food Sent to as Many
Deserving Families Yesterday.

Yesterday was busy day for the COM
mlttees OF various churches in Burlington
who had In charge the filling and de-
ivering of the Thanksgiving day baskets
to the poor and needy families in this city
and last evening l15 baskets had been de-
livered to as many families through the
churches and the Howard Relief society
These baskets do not include many which
were sent out by churches who took care
of families whom they knew were in need
Of food but of whom no report was turned
in.
The Howard Relief society was used as
clearing house for the lists of the First
Methodist, Unitarian, ST. Pauls and the
Baptist Churches. All Of the food con-
tributed by these churches was not pa ed
there but the lists were all reviewed
there so that no family would get two
or more baskets while another needy
family would obtain none The Howard
Relief society packed fifteen baskets which
were delivered yesterday afternoon For
these baskets the pupils OF the high and
grammar schools contributed literally
There will probably be another half
dozen baskets delivered from that society
this morning to those families which were
brought to Mrs. Burritt's attention last
evening.
Each basket contained either a chicken
or large roast Of meat. the latter being
preferable In many cases where this diet
Is luxury. They also contained three
kinds of vegetables, one Of which was
canned. besides potatoes. In each basket
there was also some sweets. In those sent
out from the churches there was generally
a pie. Apples. nuts and candy We're placed

THE NINE TAX BILL

The State Tax Commission has
issued a comparative statement
showing the actual assessment
under the present mine tax law
and what the assessment in IoI 5
would be under the terms of the
proposed mine tax law which has
passed the senate. 1t hands the
new measure a beautiful black
optic by showing a net decrease
in assessment of SI4,746,7I2.I5
over 1913 and decrease OF SI3,-
o35, 6o8.7o over 1914.
Practically the only mines that
show an increase are the low grade
properties and all counties show a
decrease except ella and Pinal.
This discriminating bill was rushed
through the senate without time
for proper consideration, but it is
certain that strong opposition will
be met in the house.
