GREENLEE COUNTY TAX RATE FIXED
 BY BOARD
Board of Supervisors Meet and Fix Tax Rate for the Year 1916 as Pre- vided by Law-Rate 17 Gents LoWs CT Than Last Year.

The Board of Supervisors met on Monday of this week for the purpose of making changes ordered by the State Board of Equalization and fix ing the tax rate for the year 1916. The State rate this year has been placed at 40 cents on the $1 0O valu- ation, being cut from 54 cents last year and the county rate has been cut three cents, from 6S to 60. Thus the rate for State and County taxes this year will be $1. % on the $100. .00 valuation or a reduction of IT cents over that of the year 1915.
 This should cause satisfaction among the taxpayers of Greenlee county and even those who have had their valu. ations increased will not notice the difference in the total amount of their taxes as the F cent cut will in most cases more than offset the raise. The present board is to be congratu. lated on the low rate it has been able to fix. They have given the county a good business administration and their efforts have ben consistently in favor of the taxpayer.
 The following comparative table of the rate for 1916 and 1915 will be of interest: h>

DESTROY AUSTRIA

dier, and one of the most powerful
figures in the Italian cabinet. told the
United Press today.
To consent TO peace now would be
an act OF treason on the part OF any
allied nation, he declared.
Il am convinced that War Secre-
tary Lloyd Georges statement to the
United Press and Premier Asquth's
words in the house of commons ex
actly interpret the thought and ex-
press the firm resolve OF all the
allies" said the Italian cabinet mem-
Der.
The peace TO which the whole
world aspires after so many horrors
and sacrifices must be real and last
ing. not q mere truce. Civilization
must safeguard itself against at
tempts similar to the one against
which she is now reacting with all her
strength. This means that We must
create in Europe such conditions as
to render it impossible for Germany
to resume her criminal designs.
Il, therefore, think that any state
or states OF the entente who would
today harbor the thoughts OF peace
would be guilty OF an act of treason.
Rather than accept peace contain
mated by the germ Of other wars 1t
would have been better not TO em-
bark upon the present war at all.
The deadly germ OF war can only
be killed by destroying Austria as
a state and depriving Germany OF
every illusion OF predominacy. 1t Is
necessary to proclaim this fearlessly
and openly as Premier Asquith and

BODYBUILDING SENTIMENT.


The people Of California are fred
with enthusiasm over the building
OF better highways, and it is going
to keep Oregon going TO maintain
her position along with the leaders,
California will vote upon state
bond issue of SIS, 100000 next
month for good roads. and there
seems no doubt about the voting of
the issue. Over in Del Norte county
a campaign has been in progress for
some time in favor of the issue and
in support OF specific road building
projects. The interests OF Del Norte
and Josephine counties, though sep
arated by state line. are identical.
That is the reason why a delegation
from here will go to the coast city
to meet members of the California
commission. and why this county is
cooperating In every possible way in
furthering the projects over the line.
Recently Mrs. Laura Thomas Gun
nell. Of this city. has made a number
OF public addresses in the California
county in the interests Of better high
ways, and so effective were her argu-
ments that the sentiment in Del Norte
has been greatly strengthened. Mrs
Gunnell has won the appreciation OF
two counties by her patriotic action
30 well, in fact, has the sentiment
been cemented over the line. that in
vitation now comes for the two coun
ties to cooperate in the formation
of definite policy Of road building
and II is in furtherance Of such ;
plan that the meeting is being helt

CAN YOU CONCEIVE OF SUCH !
SITUATION?


The so-called Land and Loan
Measure" tsingle taxi on the Noyem-
ber ballot provides for loaning
$500 without interest for five years
to anyone who with his family has
failed to accumulate property of a
total value OF s2,250. It's hard to
imagine a more absurd proposition.
Every pauper in the United States
would come to Oregon.
A sane man can not conceive OF
such a condition. A man and his
family who have failed to accumulate
a home are unfortunate. Would II
help them. however, to loan them
$500? Nothing is easier to get rid
OF than cash, and the next thing the
borrower would know his money
would be gone and he would be worse
in the hole than ever.
A man who has failed to accumu
late home would stand small chance
OF paying back $500.
Why not change the law ant
simply give the Dropertyless persor
$1,5OO outright? There would be az
much sense to 1t.

FRANZ JOSEPH DEAD?
Death of Austrian Emperor Is Re-
ported to London.

London, June 1.-THE death of
Emperor Francis Joseph is again re-
ported by a neutral who has just re-
turned from Vienna. This traveller
further asserts that the embalmed
body of the monarch has been shown
to crowds on patriotic occasions. He
said he was present when there was a
demonstration before the palace, but
the emperor did not step out and bow
from the balcony, as was his custom
Instead, a chair was raised on which
reclined the inanimate royal figure,
AS the demonstration sang patriotic
songs there was no living movement
observable on the part of the emperor.
This person stated he has ascertained
that the fact that the emperor has
been embalmed is widely known in
higher Viennese circles.
