$3.50 Tax on Every Man, Woman
and Child

Mr.. z. D. Cowan, who last year
made some most startling revelations
about the high tax rates in the
state Of Washington. in the Spokesman
Review, had an article in the same pa
per Of February Isl. No man in the
state, or for that matter few men in
the northwest, are better posted on the
tax problem. He shows that at this
time every man, woman and child in
the state rests under the staggering
tax burden Of $3.50. OF course there
are some thousands who delude them
selves With the thought that they es-
cape this burden because they wi no
property. But do they escape their
share Of the burden2. The grocer
adds his rent and drayage to the cost
Of his goods. Tax is just as much a
part Of the cost Of doing business as
rent and drayage, and the tax cost oil
every kind and character Of business is
simply passed on to the consumer.
At this time tax is approximately one
fourth Of all rent rate in this town.
We have mentioned only two instances
where the non property owner is al
fected by high taxes, but as a matter
of unreasonable fact the tax rate en-
tiers into the living cost Of every non
property owner in all the relations Of
life. The man who says he does not
pay any tax because he does not own
any property is fooling himself and
amusing to everybody else. It is not
far from the truth to say that out OF
every dollar spent by the non-property
owner three cents is for state, county
and municipal tax. So that il a man
without property pays out in the course
Of a year $500 he has paid SIS axes.
Wherefore we say it is no less to the
interest Of the non property owner than
to the one who owns property TO exert
himself to reduce taxes.

Awful Suicide.

Last Tuesday afternoon an unknown man deliberately committed suicide, at Kasper siding, by walking onto the track in front of west bound passenger train No. l, folding his arms and await ing the awful death under the wheels of the onrushing train. His body was horribly mangled before the train could be brought to a standsrill.
 Coroner Cohenour was called to hold an inquisition, but could find nothing on the body that would lead to his identity. He was apparently about 35 years of age and laborer. The man had ap- piled to the sheep camp for work, but the manager had nothing for him and he went away quite Respondent. There is bridge near the camp and the man walked over to the railroad and was walking onto the bridge when one of the men called to him that train was coming and to not go upon the bridge. He paid no heed but walked across and when on the other side suddenly strengthened up, folded his arms and awaited death.

New M ap.

We are in receipt of an exceedingly clever and useful map of Arizona from Yuma, at the southwest corner of the state, to Phoenix and north to Prescott, Ashfork and the Grand Canyon, then west to Kingman, Needles, Barstow and San Bernardino City. It also takes us west from Yuma through Imperial Valley to San Diego and Riverside.
 It shows all mountains, principal mines, peaks, elevations, water-holes by name, railroads and towns enroute and the main and cross-country roads.
 The National Old Trail, Coast to Coast and Borderland Routes are featured.
 The map is priced to sell for fifty cents, it is well worth it, and with the San Bernardino-Los Angeles extension, sixty cents.
 The principal book, news stands and druggists sell them in the cities repre- sented by The Thurston Series of Maps, which now pretty well cover all points of interest. The publishers will send on receipt of price.
 The map is published by The Western Map & Publishing Co.,, 25O E. 4th St., Los Angeles, Cal.

Renewal of Operations
 at Ashdown Camp.

A Winnemucca, Nev., dispatch says: ---The old camp of Ashdown, in the extreme northern part of Humboldt county, is again coming to the front and from present indications will be producing gold bullion before very long. J. M. Lyon, who, with associates, last year acquired the Ashdown property, is spending few days in town attend ing to business matters. He stated that he has assumed the management of the property and there are nine men working there at the present time, seven men having been employed all winter
 In speaking of the general conditions of the property, MT. Lyons stated that there is large tonnage of a good grade milling ore on the dumps and blocked out in the principal workings and that they expect to start up the mill some time next month. Last fall a new engine and other machinery was in- stalled in the mill and the plant is now ready for the reduction of ore. This plant is of the roller type and of twenty tons capacity.
 The camp of Ashdown is situated about no miles northwest of Winne- mucca, near the Oregon line, in the Pine Forest range. Some years ago this property was big producer of the precious yellow metal and Mir. Lyon believes that the rejuvenation there will bring about better results than were accomplished in the past. The property has undergone extensive development and in all the workings there are good showings of ore.

Why So Many Feel Tired

Spring fever" usually is the result of sluggish bowels and torpid liver. After months indoors, you are not likely to feel vigorous and sprighty. Foley Cathartic Tablets are "worth their weight in gold' for that over-full feeling, biliousness, gas on the stomach, bad breath, indigestion or constipation. Their action is quick, comfortable and complete without nausea or grlplng. Stout people say they are a blessing. H. H. Watkins.

'Hercules-Badger
 Group of Mines
Splendid Properties to be Fi-
 nanced and Operated

Within the scope of new work con- templated for the Chloride District, the deep development of the Arizona Vest ern Mines Company's operations is of great importance.
 We are reliably informed that an eastern syndicate is being formed to take over large block of stock in this company, and that a common benefit working shaft is to be put down to a depth of at least 800 feet for working the large veins which have been opened to superficial depth on the Hercules Badger ground.
 This property has shipped consider able ore of excellent grade in the past, but the output has all been from near the surface.
 The values are in gold, silver and lead, but the Badger is also understood to carry large bodies of zlnc and lead, similar in character to the Tennessee ore, which would be of great value at the present time if the mine were open ed up sufficiently to enable the com pany to take advantage of the war prices for zinc.
 It will be welcome news to Chloride people when development of this ex- ceedingly promising but heretofore ne- glected property is under way.

 Mir. and Mrs. LeClaire have secured ground at Oatman, where they will erect large hotel. Oatman has been growing so fast that the present ac- commodations have been inadequate. A big hotel will soon get patronage suffi- cient to make it paying institution. No other town of the importance of Oatman has been without hotel ac- commodation, as has this big gold camp and the people will heartily welcome the innovation.
 w. c. Babcock and wife motored as far as Seligman, last Saturday, on their way to Prescott, where MT. Babcock had been summoned as juror in the Federal court, They found the going mighty bad, having been stuck in the mud several times east of Nelson. Two other cars had the same experience, and the trio got into Seligman at night fall, all tuckered out. They ditched the car at that place and took train to the Mile High City. The roads in that part of the state are surely in bad condition, the heavy rains and snow making quag- mires of the low places.
 J. w. Ricketts, who is the owner of a homestead in the Mohave valley, has just purchased of B. L. Vaughn four acres of land in the Vista Land tract, San Diego county, California. The land is said to be the best in that county. It is in the lemon country and much of the land has already been planted to that fruit and avocados water has been brought onto the tract and each acre is guaranteed enough water for all crop uses. Upon the purchase of this nice little acreage MT. Ricketts leased his ranch to Lucien Kuffer for period of three years.
 J. c. Wilson, who was operated on by Drs. Butcher and Hilton for gaul stones, was recovered enough yesterday and leave the hospitals for his home in Chloride. The operation was only re- markable for the great quantity of calcarus removed, there being so many stones in the gaul bladder that when the surgeons knife touched the enclosing membrane they were thrown out onto the floor. Two great double handfuls of the stones were removed, some of them of great size. Mir. Wilson's re- covery has been rapid, which speaks well for the surgical care and nursing. How man could have lived in the con- dition MT. Wilson was in when he came to the hospital is a puzzle to the medi- cal fraternity.
