GO SLOW, BOY

The average young man feels that
he must wear a necktie that would
cause a tin lizzie to take to the ditch,
and who spends all his wages and a
little more trying to keep up with
his crowd" is preparing for life OF
hardships and disappointments. 1t is
not necessary for young man to 60

comes along, take in all the dances
and balls, and feed the cute thing

ton as a piker among the girls. Let

things and look around for sensi-

ing than is had through considering
the fact that he is now a government
employe. Certainly his services are
not indispensable, because there is no
man in any branch of the government
whose situation cannot be filled al
most on the instant. Many of these
situations could be well filled by per-
sons who are unable to meet the
strict requirements of a physical or
mental examination or who are in ex-
cess of the military age.
To exempt eble-bodied officehold-
ers and require young men engaged
in business of occupied with various
professional duties to serve is fea-
ture of the law SO unjust and so in
equitable as to invite adverse criti-
cism.
1t may be that practically every
member of Congress has one or more
relatives engaged in the government
service and that this fact conspired
to have them write into the law spe-
cial protection for their own. But
whether this improper motive actual
ed the lawmakers or whether it was
merely that they provided for such
exemptions thoughtlessly they should
correct the law and make military
service universal with no eceptioEs
but such as are extended to the young
men of the country engaged in civil
pursuits.
If we are to have universal service
let it be universal and not subject to
such attacks as are afforded through
the favors shown those now on the
public payrolls
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-08-07

for you my boy. Like bugs" and
fast motor boats, these things are
only for the idle rich; the men who
keep the world strewn with money
that you and l and the rest of us
may live to pay our debts.
Try saving your money. The boy
who strikes a pace that exhausts his
payroll generally winds up in the
hands of the receiver with several
other things gone along with his mon
ey.
Learn to go slow. Don't think that
you must have everything the other
fellow does, including jaundice and a
sluggish liver from keeping late
hours. You arc building up a store
of health that must last you all the
rest of your life. Be careful of it. II
is more precious than jewels and
precious stones.
Don't think you must have an au-
to or speed bug" because your
friend has one; and put in all your
time buying gasoline and paying re-
pair bills. John d. can make is faster
than you can burn it, and H. Ford
has built up vast fortune out of the
fools money. The auto will soon get
old to you and you will next want a
flying machine and funeral.
Learn to go slow. Watch the other
fellow and see where he makes his
mistakes, and then avoid making the
same error. Fast living means a short
stay on earth with a limited ticket
to the hereafter. Don't be in too big
hurry to finish your education.
Wise men study all their lives. The
Hill of Endeavor is always between
you and the end Of your journey.
Don't be in a hurry to take the
other fellows bait. Take time to
think it over and If possible, obtain
some other mans advice that you
can depend upon. If a thing is as
good as it's promoter claims it is, 1t
will be there tomorrow or the next
day, and the day after. Half the world
lives on the mistakes Of the other
half. The man who desires to get rich
quick generally helps the sure-thing
man to pile up fortune. Riches are
least part of life. A good name. firm
friends, the love of child, good
health and an amiable disposition
cannot be bought. They must be built
up. In the words Of our old chum
Bill, "Who steals our purse steals
ten cents, but the man who gets our
good name will have to go some."

WHY EXEMPT OFE1CEHOLDERS?

There is a widespread dissatisfac-
ton in the United States because the
terms of the CONSUMPTION act exempts
from military service those who are
holding government, state, county or
municipal Offices.
It would seem from the provisions
of that exemption clause that the bu-
reaucrats of the country had had
written into that a law provision es-
pecially favorable to them.
Just why an employe of the postal
service, of the revenue service, of the
immigration service, Of the agricul-
tural department or of the various
other departments Of federal or To-

Bill Directs Governor to Nominate a
 Special Board.

There is a bill now before the gen. eral assembly, directing the governor to nominate and. with the advice of the senate and house, to appoint three persons to constitute g. special board of assessors or appraisers. The bill was prepared by the state chamber of commerce and intro
 duced at the request of its officers. It has not been given much publicity,
 although it is an important matter
 and would entail expense. if enact
 board would work under the direc-
 tion of the tax commissioner of the state. The bill has not yet been giv- en a hearing. It is as follows:
 Section Before May 1, 1917. the governor shall nominate and with the advice and consent of the senate ap- point three persons to constitute special board of appraisers o ras- sessors. One of said persons shall be appointed for the term of two years and one for the term of six years. Biennially thereafter the governor shall in like manner appoint with the advice and consent of the years.
 In case a vacancy shall occur in the membership of said board the governor shall have power to appoint
 
 rising of the next general assembly, and may nominate and with the ad- vice and consent of the senate, au- vice and consent o fthe senate ap- point a person to i'll such vacancy for the remainder of all vacated term.
 Sec. 1.-The state board of xpprais- CTS or assessors shall assist the local towns as the tax commissioner may direct. The tax commissioner may direct the state board of appraisers or assessors to assist the local as- sessors in assessing property in any town either on request of the asses sors of on petition of one or more of the taxpayers in SAid town or in the exercise of bis own discretion without such request from either Che town assessors or petition of the tax payers. The decision of said state board of appraisers or assessors shah be governed by the provisions relating to appeals from boards Of relief.
 Sec 3-Said members of said board of apprasers or assessors shall de- vote their entire time to the work of
