DIR. GRIswOLD ILL
Disease Contracted In West Indies Il
Interfering With Ills Plans

The many friends OF DR.. and Mrs.

doctors plans for research work
abroad have been seriously interfered
with due to illness contracted while
al work in the West Indies. DR.. Girls
void is now at Antigua. IN the Brit

until lie is fully recovered. Mrs. Girls
void formerly Bernice voos.) and
his little son have Joined him in the
islands and will remain with him until
he is completely recovered. which Is
estimated 70 be about a years time
The illness OF Dr Griswold Is one
due to the change from this northern
climate to tropical one and does not
conilne him 10 his bed SO that he will
continue his work on the islands while

will go TO Africa and other parts Of

Or Don NJ Griswold, for the last
three years connected with the Detroit
board OF health and for two years

commission given him by the inter

Rockefeller institute. The appoint

capabilities and to the efficiency OF the

Acceptance OF this commission
means that DR. Griswold practically
will isolate himself from his friends

SOME LESSONS
IN TAXATION
D. D. WILL CONDUCT A SCHOOL OF
INFORMATION ON TAX RATIOS
SIMILAR TO TAX ASSOCIATION
In an Effort to Show Who is
AgrieVed in This Taxation Matter
Some Figures Will be Published

The Iron County Tax Payers Assn.
has done one excellent thing IL has
started the people to think about
questions OF taxation. II Is good con
ditlon OF affairs when people begin to
take an interest and talk about where
the money with which the community
is kept going comes from and where
bhat money goes to. The more the mat
ter Is considered the better for the
community No one gets any benefit
out Of money wasted not even the
person upon whom II is waster for,
as the old saying Is, come easy go
easy"
Therefore when the Iron County
Tax Payers Association was formed 10
look into taxation and public expendi-
lures, Il was spoken Of as a good thing
provided that II didn't turn out TO be
all one sided or political organiza-
tion. 1t has held aloof from politics but
IL has never seemed 10 us that both
sides OF the taxation question were
looked into with equal candor by the
association that il was too prone to
consider only the mining side of the
question and leave out Of considera-
ton entirely the small fellow who, al
though he doesn't make payments of
four figures. yet makes tax contribu-
tons that are just as burdensome to
him as are the thousands 10 the mining
company which has thousands to pay
with.
We asked a representative OF the as
sociation once why when the associa-
tlon was formed why all tax payers,
who were willing to pay their proper
tion, were not invited to join and reply
was that no small tax payer could af-
ford TO put up his share of the money
necessary to keep the association go
ing and for that reason il was thought
best to include only the mining com
panies in the association. Perhaps,
on second thought, that reason IL a
good one, anyway Wen take it at its
worth and let il go at that
The Little Fellows Side
Some few months ago the associa
tion published an excellent table show
ing the taxes paid by the mining com
panies of this county The tables were
compiled with a great deal Of care and
were accurate and exhaustive as we'll
as instructive.
But. no comparison was made i'm
them between the burdens borne by
the mining companies and the small
tax payers and Il seems TO De up 10 us
to prepare some tables In that line
Let us say that our tables are prepar-
ed entirely with a view TO educating,
not 10 prejudicing our lessons are
not intended TO prejudice against min
ing companies but simply to put both
sides ON fair basis and 20 smoke out
the unreasonable whether It be a 10
cal tax payer or mining company
And. while we are on this subiec1 we
want 10 say right here that there are
just as many unfair local tax payers
as there are unfair mining tax payers
II seems 10 be disease with WHICH
both sides are afflicted.

THE DEAD SEA.
Some Interesting Facts About This
Curious Body of Water,

Some Interesting Facts About This
Curious Body of Water.
For number of years many persons
have declared the Dead sea, in Pales-
tine, is diminishing, but a recent care
full survey by experts has established
beyond all doubt that the sea is steadi-
~ increasing.
At many points on its southern and
eastern borders there are vast forests
with large trees becoming submerged.
The sea is about forty miles in length
and ten miles wide at the broadcast por-
ton. Should it continue to enlarge it
will take in valuable country, but, so
far as known. there is no way to pre-
vent this.
Mediterranean waters are 1900 feet
higher than the Dead sea level, but
this is no proof the waters Of the Dead
sea are drying up.
A survey of the wonderful region of
years ago shows islands that are now
gone. 1t is declared these are covered.
There is so much solid matter in the
water that it makes about one-ffth, or
20 per cent. fof the matter solid. It is
so intensely salt and bitter that no crea
ture can live in it.
The bed of the sea is rich with min
eral deposits. Salts, copper, lead and
zinc and marble are found in vast GUAM
titles, and experts are of the opinion
there is great deposit Of petroleum
beneath the vast body of water.
A mans body is lighter than the
amount Of water it displaces. and it is
therefore impossible for a person to
sink
Vegetation is scarce and greatly
stunted for miles about the sea.

Of the latter that places the bit Of

will not necessarily penetrate the tire
the chances are that it will not-but a

In a few hundred or thousand miles
