GOVERNOR SAYS THEORY
 POSITIVELY VISIONARY

'The committee which prepared the rev. enue bill," said the governor, proceeded on the theory that property in Alabama was turned in for assessment at 35 per cent of its actual value. and that as a result of the equalization theory prop erty in the future would be assessed at 6o per cent and thus the treasury would be benefited by s1,000.O0O per annum in ex- cess of amounts previously collected. The theory, in my opinion is entirely vis- ioEary In the first place corporations pay into the treasury practically 40 per cent of the money collected through taxa ton, and it is a generally admitted fact that the property of corporations, alto gether visibly is assessed at proper fig ure While 1t is true that people as a rule endeavor to dodge the payment of taxes, it is also true that a great many citizens assess their property honestly. Therefore. it is seen that the committee, through equalization, would incerase the revenue of the state Sl,000000 per annum through increased taxation levied against those individuals who have lodged taxa tion in the past. The scheme, to my mind, is utopian.
 "As a matter of fact on account of con ditions-the depression, if you please-the value of property is undergoing a shrink age The return, in other words. is not as great as it has been. It is reasonable to suppose therefore, that people will not assess their property at as high a figure as if was assessed last October. I would consider the situation excellent, there- fcre. were the state to receive, through the operation of equalization, as much as if has received in the past.

The Contact Miner is authority for
the following:
It Il reported that the Utah Con-
struction company win put forty men
at work clearing mp the willows in
the Salmon river bottom. The com
pany has been conducting extensive
clearing and improving operations for
a couple OF years past. 1t has been
rumored that when the time Is ripe
1t will COLOMBO its holdings in this val
ley and In n~eighboring valleys. This
latest move to get the ground in
shape for that purpose bears out what
is thought to be its future policy and
comedies with its supposed Intentions.
The Salmon river valley In this neigh
horhood is capable OF supporting sey-
eral hundred families and we expect
to see these actual settlers on the
ground during the course of the next
year or two"
This ranch contains i. 100000 acres
in Elko county and 100000 In Idaho

ABSTINENCE
IN BRITISH PULRITS

LONDON, April s, $40 a. m.-The
question of prohibition and the ex-
ample set by the king In Offering to
abstain from the use OF liquors were
referred to In almost all the puIpits
In London yesterday. The Archbishop
Of Canterbury, in tho Canterbury
cathedral, strongly advocated volun.
tary abstention from drink by the
people. He said King George had an.
nounced his readiness to set the ex.
ample and that he was In a position
to tell his hearers how confident the
king was that the response Of the
people to the suggestion for Austen
ton would be ready and widespread.
According to statistics, prepared by
the Times, there has been during the
last four months less beer drinking,
but q great increase In the coneump-
ton OF spirits. This Is accounted for
particularly by the heavy duty placed
on beer In the last budget. The In.

PRIZEFIGHTING. ""T
THE story Of the big JohnsonWfard fight at Havana is read by
many millions Of people. 1t is a battle of science against science. People
with q liking for sporting competitions re interested to hear about it as
a contest of wits and strategy.
Whle hat remains true, the general sentiment Of the country is
against prize hghdng. There ar few localities within or states where
such a contest can be legally held, still fewer where 1t would nt m.
counter earnest protest
The reason for this feeling is no doubt that the American people are
cnieay interested in contests of pure skill. The normal mind likes to see
poruns ompettions In which the physical strain is not pushed to the
hit O endurance. The supremacy of baseball is due to the fact that head
work and sctencs are encouraged to the limit The player is not asked to
physical pain, and endure punishment to the point of collapse.
II battered brutseri Is to endure to the 18th round, it becomes too
much a question of flesh against flesh. The menta, element is subordi
