Some State Flowers.

One of the most fitting and beautiful of state flowers is the moccasin tiow- CT, or lady slipper, the emblem of Min nesota. one of the loveliest of orchids. as we'll as the eommonest. Another fine and appropriate selection Is Cali fornia's golden poppy. or Eschscholizia charming and decorative. Equally appropriate Is Colorado's blue colum- bine, the beautiful rosy eitter-root of Montana. the peach blossom of Della ware, the wild sunflower Of Kansas, Louisianas magnolia. Nebraska's gol- denrod, Utah's Mariposa lily, the Texas blue bonnet and Dakota's purple basque flower, or pulsatilla. West vir- ginia has pre-empted the rhododen- dron, and while New Mexico and Ari- xona have both taken the cactus. Ari- zona's is the giant cactus, with a white blossom, aud New Mexico's has beau- tiful rose-colored bloom, altogether un- like the other.

FOOD CONTROL BILL

BY a vote Of 365 to 5 the House passed the
Food Control bill and the senate now has the
measure under consideration. Three Texas
congressman, one democrat and two republic
cans, were the only members of the house who
voted against the measure.
With conditions so unusual as these and
with an imperative situation confronting this
country and its European allies, it appears that
there is nothing left to do but pass this bill to
conserve the food supply Of the country.
Spectators are making fifty milllon ~v.4als
a month out of wheat. Flour has been .~----.
at $500 a barrel, when according to ali eco
nomic rules, it should not have been more than
5000 per barrel. Every line of food supply
has been advanced until prices are exhorbitant.
A Chicago wholesale grocer tells the New York
World, that allowing for the increased cost of
tins and cases, No. Three Tomatoes cost the
Gamer 80 cents a dozen. The spectators buy
at 80 cents and sell for $3.50. Peas cost the
canner.62 1-2 cents; the speculator Is cents and
the retailer from rl.5O to p2.10. Tomatoes
sell at retail for 20 cents to Is cents per can
and peas Is cents. That is a jump from 6 ga
cents a can to 20 cents for tomatoes and from
5 1-5 cents to Is cents. for. peas. Bread in De-
troit cost ID cents a loaf and in Windsor across
the river from Detroit, 9 cents. How is that?
Windsor is in Canada and Canada has a food
control law.
With such conditions confronting the peo-
pie, what should be the duty of our representa-
in Congress? Many people have suffered
on account of the speculation in food stuff.
There is but one answer to the question-pass
the Food Control Bill. Will the Senate do it?

WEST LEADS in VOLUNTEERS.
President Wilson has mad,

President Wilson has made the final call
for volunteers to fill the gaps in the regular arr
and bring it up to full war strength. Nine
states have furnished in excess of their quota.
All these are western states. These states in
the order of percentage named are Nevada,
Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, Indiana
Idaho, Illinois and Michigan. No Eastern or
Southern state furnished its quota of volunteers.
New York, with the greatest population oy any
state in the union, is nineteen on the list. Yer
mont is at the bottom with only 10 per cent of
its quota having volunteered. Mississippi is
next to the bottom with FL per cent Of her quota
having offered their services in the regular ar
my. The state under the estimate made by the
war department should have sent 1894, whereas
only 772 volunteered.
The advocates of a volunteer army are now
met with these figures, which furnish unmistak-
able evidence that the government would never
have raised the army needed to go to France.

BONE DRY JULY FIRST.

Only one day remains until the Bone Dry
Liquor Law goes into effect. The fellow who is
behind with his drinking has but a little while
to catch up. After tomorrow there will be a
long dry spell.
With all Of the prohibition laws passed by
the states, none have been absolutely effective.
Mississippi cut down the use in this state of ar
dent spirits with her Quart Law, but still that
afforded an opportunity for a drink OCCASION
ally. When Uncle Sam, however, decided to
take a hand in the business he fixed it so that
it will all be off after July first.
It has been made a penal offense with a
severe penalty attached to place a letter in the
Postoffice containing an order for liquor. The
Express companies and railroad companies will
not carry whiskey in violation of this law and
if they do they will also be penalized.
The situation is now desperate and we had
just as well make up our minds to let John Bar
ley corn 60. His days are numbered.

President Wilson, through an executive or
der, has named a council that will administer
the embargo laws recently passed by congress.
Through this council all shipments abroad will
be safeguarded that supplies do not reach Ger
many. Exports to Switzerland, Holland, Nor

this government is determined that these coun-
tries must put a stopato feeding our enemies or

- The Tax Commission is now engaged in the
difficult task of Strengthening out these discre-
5pancies. The tax assessors and the tax payers:
failed to do it and if the State raises its revenue
there must be some power to correct the failure

the tax payer.

them and patiently await the result of their
efforts before they criticize or censure them in

A TAX COMMISSION.

rrSa The State Tax Commission created by act
of the legislature at the 1916 session isffnding
Il tYYdifficult to bring about a uniform adjustment
itofst the valuation of properties for taxation.
The people of the state have not familiariz-
b ed themselves with the purposes of the law and
the commission is meeting with opposition in
their efforts to adjust tax burdens with due re-
gard for the rights of all tax payers.
}38fs The matter of getting a basis upon which to
levy a specific rate is a difficult problem that
confronts the Commission. Various interests
and the different sections of the state are in con-
fiict and it will require diplomacy upon the part
of the Commission to bring about this adjust
ment without appearing to be dictatorial and
unnecessarily severe in some instances.
For our part, we feel that the Commission
will do just what the members believe to be fair
and just to all. They are being guided by the
law and the people of the State should back
them up in their efforts to straighten out the
tangled condition of our State revenues. Sec
ton 112 of the Constitution of the State says:
Taxation shall be uniform and equal through
out the State. Property shall be taken in pro-
portion to it's value" The rule must be follow.
ed by the Commission or the Supreme Court will!
undo their work.
The problem that confronts the Commits
sion is to have the various counties assess Their
property for taxation on such a basis al will
make the burdens of the State rest even handed
on all tax payers. The old system has failed
to do this. BY reference to the report of the
Auditor for 1915, we find the fol-
lowing counties failing to bear their proper
tionate share of the States needed revenue.
These counties, instead of paying a proportion
ate share of the States taxes, draw out of the
State Treasury the amounts named below in
column three, more than they pay into the State
Treasury. These &c counties are as follows:
Toll received Toll disburse- Deficiency in
Counties from ments to Receipts of
each county each county each county
