The Colorado Tax Commission had

year 1914. THE COLORADO TAX
COMMISSION DID NOT ORDER THE

rCommission DID order Nj. Hartman to
make up the valuation be was short
and Mr.. Hartman did not have the
courage to place this one and one-balf
million valuation back upon the pro-
perties owned by the Corporations:-
And therefore The Colombo Tax Com
mission ordered Mr.. Hartman to place
Five Hundred thousand Of the One and
One Half Million Dollar Lost Valuation
on The Colorado Yuls Marble Co. and
to place approximately The balance on
stock and ranch Lands and improve
ments.
Mr.. Hartman b responsible for the
reduction Of valuations and taxes on
thsss Corporations and b. y thsrefore
responsible for the order from The
COLORADO Tax Commission to raise the
valuation on Stock and Ranch Lands.
However in the face Of the above fig-
ures it begins to look q though
Mr.. Hartman bad intsndsd to make his
reduction Of corporation assess,nsnts in
1915 look like thirty cents before be got
done with 1916. How pear he came to
slipping It over has been detailed in the
News Champion before. when on ten
C. F. 4. l. schedules he again reduced
values over fifty per cent.

 SCHOOL PLAN POINTED O(JT

our rural schools have auditoriums which are being opened more and more to neighborhood gatherings, making the school the social center that it should be. Nowhere in the state has there been as much done along this line as in Maricopa county I wish to say that sentiment of this sort has been engendered largely by the various WOman's clubs of the rural communi- ties and the Parent Teachers organi- cations. A community that has live wide-awake organization of this sort is always progressive. But l wish to say also that much credit is due the broad minded men and women on our school boards cooperating with the county school superintendent, who have made possible using the school build ings for this purpose.
 Our development, however has not been alone in material way. The quality of our teaching force has great ly improved, it being the strict policy of this country, for the sake of the child and on account of our school . expenses to make efficiency" our watchword and to dispense with the inefficient teacher.
 T am always glad to speak of our work in domestic science and manual | training. In our rural schools we now ! have three circuits, including five schools each and prospect that one, perhaps two, more will be organized. ] The teachers go from one school to an- other, spending one day in each week at each school This work carried on by special tax which the people of the district impose upon themselves l has met with marvellous success.
 Notwithstanding the rapid prog ress the schools of Maricopa county have made in the last four years, il may come as surprise to many tC know that aside from the special tax for domestic science and manual train ing, the rate per capita remains the same that it was four years ago, $3750
 "The city schools of Phoenix, Mesa Tempe and Glendale are stories il themselves. They are completing thi week a most successful school year un

Baron Carl von Pagh- Winther Here to Make Motion Picture Trav-
 elogue of the Valley

A travelogue in motion pictures will be made in this valley within the next few days by Baron Carl von Pagh-Winther, who has just arrived from the coast
 The baron, who is a world famed traveller, was formerly noted as a lecturer. He said with the coming into popularity of the motion picture the idea came to him of how many more people he could reach by pre- senting his lecture in picture form.
 Tt was the greater scope that started me in this work for I sud- denly realized that instead of reach ing a small part of the country the whole world was mine said the baron, in discussing the work.
 q am endeavoring to educate the people through the travels I have en- joyed. It is my belief that a country is far better understood. and remem- bered by views of it than'in lengthy discussion.

 This has been the most successful school year the county has ever known, according to County Superin- tendent of Schools J. A. Higgins.
 Mir Higgins stated yesterday that since he took the office four years ago he has been consistently hammering away along certain lines, and the con dition of the schools as presented with the closing of this years work shows that definite permanent results have been obtained.
 In speaking of the schools of the county he said:
 "Of course, the most conspicuous thing about our schools to the ordinary observer, is our beautiful buildings Nowhere, not even in the most prog -ressive sections of the east have they builded so well for the future as in MaricOpa county.
 We are proud to show such build ings as Peoria, Washington, Alhambra, Creighton, Osborn, Pendergast, Baltz, Wilson, Roosevelt, Alma, and many others as representative of our rural schools. From Higley and Gilbert on the east to the schools of the Buckeye valley on the west, the development along this line has been phenomenal.
 While our rural school buildings are beautiful and attractive to the eye, much more vital points than these have been kept in mind when erecting new buildings or remodeling old ones . those of sanitation, ventilation and lighting. So that we now find most of the rooms clean, fresh and restful A number of the buildings have run ming water, sanitary toilets and sani- tary drinking fountains. Some of the buildings have furnace heat.
 Many of the rural schools this year took steps to beautify their school yards, most of which have long beer fitted out with playground apparatus
 Tt is with the very greatest Of pleasure that I can say that many o1

well concentrated in one area, it should be handled at single operation. This explains the determination of Leflko- wits to bring the claim owners togeth- CT sin one corporation, as a matter of plain economy.
 Exploratory work with churn drills will be started at once After the lay of the ore bodys has been determined, the work of developing 1t will proceed as fast as men and money can push it.
 One thing that compels interest in the layout is that it lies within 1,200 feet of the Live Oak No. ? shaft, the richest producing mine of the district, and also in direct line with the lodes on which are located the majority of the producing mines of that region. The financial details have been very carefully worked out The company l has secured the entire block of claims,
 in exchange for d cash consideration and blocks of stock, which are to be held i'm escrow here in the National
 Bank of Arizona, until the full amount ! can be paid. In this way, ownership will eventually devolve entirely upon the company, without astring tied to it. The capitalization of the reorganized company is to be two million dollars
 shares at a par value of one dollar | The treasury stock of S00,000 shares will be protected for use only in the
 event of some highly necessary future
 development work, that will require a
 large share. amount of mobile funds.
 Intense interest has been worked III
 in Miami over the deal, and phone calls from that city have brought a host o
 congratulations to the officers of tht !, company, of which Dan R. Williamson an old timer in the district, is presi dent, and F. w Hamm secretary. Bi. ; copper interests have already begun to pay attention, and it is learned tha l among the possibilities is an offer b. a prominent capitalist to look tn } property over with view to purchas : ing.

Two Million Dollar Concern Welded Out of Old In spiration Needles Com pany and Eleven Claims Near Liveoak Lode

Involving a large cash consideration and the immediate development of one of the riches of the promising copper districts about Miami, is the deal by which the iInspiration Needles Copper company yesterday took over the hold ings of eleven mining men. The trans fer was made in the office of the company attorney. George j. Stone man, this city, and all the claim own CTS were present. The deal was en- gineered by Harry Lefkoyits a young but brilliant mining promoter. who is 'at present in business here in the Fair Store"
 The company, under the agreement now owns without encumbrance 525 acres of highly mineralized land, ad- joining the Inspiration Consolidated al Miami, and within a short distance O1 the town of Miami.
 With a large reserve of treasury stock the company will float 100000, shares, for promotion. Owners of stocl in the original company, learning O 1 the deal at Miami day before yester l day refused last evening to sell share at an advance of 50 per cent on tn market price.
 Iefkovits will himself handle tn promotion. Although practically al | the stock will be floated right si Miami, the hustling young bushes
 man will have as his guests, a hun \ dred Phoenix men on a special trai for a three day excursion to Miam via Bowie. His idea is to demonstrat
