MATTERS OF TAX LEVY, ETC.
Commissioner Seeks Expression
From Constituents-A Difficult
Task Confronted in Complying
With New Law Under Present
Conditions.

Attention is called to communi.
cation of Commissioner Written
IN this paper, relating to tax lew,
AS there are some few persons
who when public improvements
are not made as fast as they would
IKE them to be made, express
themselves as not Directing to be-
ing taxed, Mr.. Written is giving
this opportunity that they NAV
advise him as to what they desire
IN the levy that is to be made. IF
there is any considerable number
desiring to pay more taxes than
Ihey are now paying and will so
express themselves, Mr.. Written
will know how to act.
Mr.. Written says that he would
ike for every man who wants his
axes increased to let him know
before the commissioners meeting
n August, stating how much he
low pays and how much increase
lie wants. Those not expressing
themselves ON the matter will be
Understood as being opposed to |

A Difficult Task

In this connection it may be
proper to say that the county
commissioners are going to be put
to a hard task in doing all that
their constituents expect of them
and comply fully with the new
law in all Of its provisions as II
relates to county matters. In the
up Of the budget, as is now
required, wherein there is little
leeway permitted, the law being
very rigid, the commissioners are
gong to have an especially hard
task.
IN this county where peculiar
relations exist as between the var.
lous regular commissioners dis
trlcts and the special road dis
trlcts, to comply with what is re-
CURED by the new law and at the
same time accomplish all that is
expected by the public is going to
be next to impossible. Hence
our commissioners are placed in a
ilfficult situation, but we have
capable men on the board, consci-
'ntlous and honest, and they may |
'e relied on to do what is right !
md exert themselves to serve the
'est interests Of their constituents
ust as far as is possible and just
nd lawful.

To Travel Through Sand.

A device to aid automobiles in
traversing sandy roads without trou-
BILE has been invented by a California
man. 1t consists Of an endless belt
on adjustable rollers, and so arranged
that the ear wheels run on the belt
instead of on the ground. The rollers
are attached to the side Of the ton
neau above the rear wheels, and to
the bottom Of the frame in front Of
the wheels. The forward rollers are
held in contact with the ground by
springs, which compress and allow
the rollers to rise in case an obstruc-
tion is encountered in the wheel
track. Supplementary to the device,
the inventor attaches broad strips of
belt fabric to the front tires, and thus
equipped declares his car can make
20 miles an hour owe sandy wastes
where an ordinary car would soon
stall. The device is readily removed,
only Is minutes being necessary to
put it on or to take it off. He has
applied for a patent on his invention.

Stamping Auto Bodies.

Most modern motor-car bodies are
made from pressed steel, stamped to
the desired shape. A stamping press
built in America and now on exhibit
tion in England is so large that the
body of a touring car can be fash
Toned complete in two impressions.
More than SO men can find standing
room in and upon this big machine,
which, by means of a double-action
toggle device, is able to exert a pres
sure of 1900 tons.

Old Tire Protects New One.

BY an arrangement Of Tugs fitted
with rings which may be bolted into
an old tire casing, English motorists
save wear and tear on their new tires.
The device, which has only recently
been brought out, is designed to pre-
vent the cover of the good tires from
coming in contact with the road sur
face. Kept in place of the new tire
by a chain of a particular design, old
covers protect the new tires to such
an extent that it is practically impos-
sible for a %puncture to occur. There
is no creep, nc wear, nor friction be-
tween the outer cover and the tire.
and 1t is almost impossible to discover
from the appearance that a discarded
cover Is being used on the wheel.

CROQUET FOR MENTAL REST.
nERIODS of mental relaxation are

OEklODS OF mental TeldAdllon are
i absolutely essential to brain
structures. And the more complete
this relaxation, the greater the re-
newed energy with which the mind
will return to its task. Each great
thinker has his own peculiar way of
securing this relaxation; but a very
common method is that Of reverting
to childish frivolities, particularly
during periods of great mental stress.
Louis l.. Stedman, who was with
General Oyama's army during the
Russo-Japanese War, gives a strik-
ing illustration Of this, which he wit
messed during one Of the strenuous
campaigns in Asia, following a great
council of war in which the generals
had just participated.
"On leaving the council chamber,
one of the strangest sights ever wit
messed at the headquarters of an army
presented itself. Directly in front of
Marshal Oyama's personal office was
a croquet ground, and there at play,
like happy children, were Generals
Kodama and Fukushima and two
other members of the general staff,
Generals Matsukawa and Ochi. Koda-
ma and Matsukawa were matched
against F%ukushima and Ochi, and the
combat was vigorous. They had
named one of the posts Hardin and
the other Kirinand, and fought for
positions as eagerly as though on a
battlefield. Every true shot at long
range was greeted with shouts OF ap-
plause, while II a general went wide
Of his mark he was called a Russian.
When a ball rolled too far its owner
would dance before,it making crosses
on the ground with his mallet and be-
seeching 1t to stop, while the others
screamed with laughter"
Everyone familiar with the work
ing of mental machinery will under
stand that this croquet-ground played
a part in winning battles almost as
important as that of the council
chamber.

Notes on Health and Sanitation
CARE OF THE FEET.

THE most important elements In
! a soldiers equipment are his
rifle and his feet. Both require on
slant care and attention, and since the
fate of an army may depend upon the
condition of its feet and its weapons,
it is an objectionable offense for a
soldier to have either one or the other
out OF repair.
Since feet are also very useful, as
well as troublesome appendages to
civilians, the rules for preventing
sore feet as recommended by the Red
Cross Association may not come amiss
for anyone. The gist of these rules
is as follows:
After washing with soap and water
the feet should be dried very gently
not rubbed. They should be dabbed
lightly with alcohol on cotton, except
where the skin is broken. When
dry, they should be busted with a
powder composed of equal parts of
starch and boric powder. Redeemed
skin or recent blisters should be pro-
tected by strips Of adhesive plaster
and corns should be protected in the
same manner. Toenails should be cut
short. Socks should be washed often,
and thoroughly dried before use.
One of the hardest tasks for the
soldier (and for many, many civil
ians) is breaking in new shoes. Soak
ing with crude castor oil seems to be
the most effective method, special at
tention to the softening being paid to
the parts just above the heel, over
the instep and about the great toe.

Unusual Lawn Ornament.

On the sloping lawn of a country
house near Los Angeles stands a most
unusual ornament, a large globe Of
crystal, supported upon a concrete
pedestal. This shining sphere of
glass acts as a mirror from any posi-
tion the observer may take, reflect
ing the landscape with singular clar-
ity. The concrete pillar upon which
it is poised is hexagonal, some four
feet in height. AS the Summer sun
glistens from the polished surface
of the globe, 1t is visible from long
distances, and is a landmark in that
section.

of this work to do he should try

metal is all that is needed.

NINE WORKERS CHARGE THEY
WERE TRIMMED BY BOSS
Charges of conspiracy in selling
jobs to men who went to work in
Mine No. J. of the WATSON mining
company, Harrisburg, Ill, have been
preferred against Harry Evans, prom
inent real estate man of Harrisburg.
r. ]. Knight, state inspector of
labor agency licenses, had him arrest
ed yesterday on a charge of running
a labor agency without license.
Calls MaIhaimitis and Joe Mara,
who worked in Mine No. 1, have
sworn to an affidavit that tells the
following story:
They applied for work at the mine,
Nov. II, and were told to see Harry
Evans in his Office in Harrisburg that
evening. They went in company with
Pete Zennatis There they were told
by Evans that jobs cost money at
that mine, and paid SO each for the
privilege of going to work.
In the affidavit it is mentioned that
Peter Genash paid SIS for a job and
tnat raul MeSaoage, Tony TanrOSVo
and Martin Uensavage paid 500 each
for jobs at earlier dates.
Knight says he will prefer other
charges against Evans and against
the owner of Mine No. 1. Knight
says he has stories from so men who
say miners were forced to buy houses
or lots in order to hold their jobs.
When they had paid much money on
the houses they would be discharged,
says Knight.

MINING COMPANIES
IN B|SBEE DISTRICT
RAISE WAGES

The announcement was made in
Bisbee on Wednesday of this week
by the mining companies operating
in that district, of general raise in
wages effective February 1st, based
on a sliding scale dependent upon
the selling price of copper.
AS soon as the metal market dis
closed advancing tendencies last
week, the Copper Queen officials
took action preparatory to sharing
the benefits with their employees.
Definite announcement was held in
allegiance pending the return to Bis
bee of John c.. Greenway, General
Manager of the C. & A. In justice
to the interests of the Warren Dis
trict as whole, it was deemed best
to consult with Mr.. Greenway and
Mr.. Shattuck before the Copper
Queen made exclusive announce
ment of an increase in wages. Both
Mr.. Greenway and Mr.. Shattuck con-
eFrred in the opinion that a new
schedule was desirable.
This general increase in wages adds
thousands of dollars to the pay rolls
in the Warren District. Local mer-
chants will share with the miners
in this advance toward old-time pros
perity in the District. The effect of
the good news was noticeable every
where, in the community last night.
The crowds in the streets of Bisbee
and Lowell gave evidence of unusual
buoyancy of spirits. The sentiment
was expressed on all, sides that the
spirit of hearty cooperation between
employees and employers was never
more pronounced.
The increase in wages is based up
on a sliding scale and ranges from
six per cent increase to twelve per
cent according to the selling price of
copper Tor the preceding month.
Employees will receive an increase
of six per cent over the present wage
scale. when copper for the preceding
month averages 13 cents and up to
IA cents. An increase of seven and
one-half per cent will prevail over
the present wage scale when copper
sells at 14ci and up to 15c for the
preceding month and an, increase of
twelve per cent when copper sells
above Is cents.
This act on the part of the Warren
District companies followed similar
action by the Globe district compan-
les.

HARMONY IN CHUNKS
At DEMOCRATIC
CONFERENCE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 26-The
principles of Thomas Jefferson were
reaffirmed, the long line of Illus
trous democratic presidents referred
to, and that magnificent document
the satte democratic platform point
ed to with pride, at the meeting of
he state central committee and
members of the legislature held at
the Adams hotel last evening. Incl
Identally, President Wilson was inEit-
ed to stop eff on his coming trip
to the coast, and talk over the sig
nal achievements of the Arizona
democracy.
What promised to be an interest
ing if not an exciting gathering of
the forces of democracy proved to be
only a meeting of the utmost har-
mony when the clans met last night
in answer to the can of State Chair
man Judge Frank j.. Duffey and c.
C.. Thompson, secretary of the COM
mittee. Those who had anticipated
any friction were sorely disappointed
Everybody stood pat, everybody con-
graduated the party on its plat
form, on it's achievements, on it's leg.
islature and the only recommends
tons embodied in resolutions, were
that the solons remain true to those
great principles by which the well
fare of the people is to be assured.
Legislation pending and probable
was discussed, and the legislature
was admonished to be faithful to
the platform. That document, it was
pointed out, already contained an
outline of what the solons should
do and it only remained for them to
carry out the theories embodied
therein.
In conclusion, the resolution, that
was unanimously adopted, endorses
every honest and enterprising effort
to induce worthy people to settle
within our state, develop it's resources
and share the prosperity of our peo-
pie
The resolution inviting President
Wilson recommended joint resolu-
ton from the house and senate to the
nations chief executive, asking him
to pay Arizona visit in connection
with his coming western tour.

We hope to see the Legislature pass speci-
fc mine taxation BILL It's failure to do SO will
result in return to the unsatisfactory manner OF
assessing producing mines in this state prior to
the passage of the bullion tax law The assess
rnent of producing mines should be approximately
in the same ratio as the net income from other
classes of property and the system OF taxation
and assessment should be on basis of bullion
production the value of which is easily and readily
computed. The leaving of this important ques-
ton in the hands of tax commission of three,
the personel of which changes with each succeed
ing two years, will mean a return to the period
when mining companies never knew from var to
year what their taxes would be, and would TN
doubtedy result in confusion, inequality, lltiga-
ton, and in the end prove detrirnent to the de-
velopment of our gratest resource. No man or
set of men can see into the ground and place true
valuation on producing mining claim. But
bullion is bullion, the valuation of which is easily
calculated.
