NAVAL OFFICERS
LOCATING BOARD

Washington, Sept. Flour naval
authorities today umpired the live
liest land battle they ever saw, the
$l1 100000 prize contest for the gov
ernment armor plate plant site. Six
score and few odd cities are parti-
cipating. Each contesting city has
all the advantages needed for any
first class armor plate factory and,
according to its earnest orators, has
them to a degree not equaled by any
other.
The naval authorities, Secretary
Daniels, Assistant Secretary Roose-
velt, Admiral Benson and Rear Ad-
miral Strauss, heard arguments yes
terday OF the cities in states that be-
gan with Alabama and continued
alphabetically down to Rhode Island
Today Providence, R. l., opened
the argument. Tennessee, Texas, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia cities were
to be heard before dark.
The cheapest fuel, the best trans
pOrtation, the most accessible de-
pOsits of ore, the highest class Of
labor and the best working conditions
were common attributes of all the
cities represented Some threw in
the finest climate for good measure.
The naval men are giving serious
consideration to all the points made
They have to balance against the ad-
vantage Of deep water harbors on the
coast, the danger Of attack by for
eign enemy, and the inland cities

orators are making the most OF this.
With this element of danger re-
moved, II is generally agreed the coast
cities competing for the plant would
have all the advantage.
One instance OF real team play de-
veloped today. Bristol. Tenn. wants
the plant, SO does Bristol. Va. II
the Virginia Bristol loses. her hope
is that the Tennessee Bristol wins.
The only division between them is
the state line. the two cities being
pretty much the same place except for
that imaginary line.
No established steel company has
accepted Secretary Daniels invitation
TO make offer OF sale. The invitations
were sent out In accordance with the
terms of the law which gave the secre-
tary authority to build or buy q

A representative OF the Midvale
company was on hand, but merely as

The nearest to war baby" that
the southern Oregon district can claim
is the chrome iron industry, which is
assuming considerable proportions.
Untilthe conflict in Europe made the
importation of chronic ore impos-
sible, and placed premium upon its
price through the creation OF new de-
mands, the bodies OF ore in Jose
phine county, and other western dis
tricts, could not be proftably mined
and shipped. Now carloads are leav-
ing daily for eastern markets, and
the payroll Of Josephine county is
materially increased through the new
industry.

this latest Hopwood piece in the royal
line of their successes, begun with

and Margaret Ellington in "The Lie"
TThi deIectabie and incalculakly
amusing tale begins with a scene of
family disagreement which progresses
even to the plans for divorce before it
concludes. laura Bartlett complains
that Billy, her husband. is too good
for mortal woman-too faithful, too
prosafc, too utterly unromantic. In a
word, she will have none of him, and
she is going that very night to the
opera with an old admirer, and leave
Billy to the peace and quiet Of his
home. Just as she is leaving, Jack
and Blanny Wheeler enter, and Il
transpires that Jack is going out, leay-
ing Blanney to the peace and quiet
of the Wheeler home.

The dual tax differs from the sin

in that it standardizes the assessment
of land and does away with annual
assessors and equalization board. for
protracted periods, and provides for
a small, uniform income tax on pro
fits in addition to a tax on land.
1t allows all land owners to de-
duct 5 per cent Of the assessed value
of any tract of land from the income
of such land before paying an income
tax upon the profit from such partie-
u1ar tract Of land. 1t exempts all
kinds of improvements and personal
property from direct taxation. 1t pro-
vides@ no exemptions of land or in
come tax. 1t makes the income tax
la lien on land and business; and pro-
vides penalty for failure to reporter
pay the income tax by provision that
no suit will be permitted to enforce
