PREPARING TO PREVENT PAVING
WALLACE STREETS.

The Day daily is again busy at
tempting to poison the public mind on
the question of street paving, not
withstanding IS per cent of the prop
erty owners are in favor of the i'm
provement and want the work accom-
plished at the earliest possible date
In pursuance of this desire the city
council has called for bids in strict
conformity with the rules outlined in
the decision of the supreme court, in
which the council was enjoined from
entering into former contract. The
grievance of the Day daily now seems
to be based on the fact that the coun-
Gil did not include asphaltic concrete
in its call for bids. Under the pre-
text of advocating a paving that will
save money to the taxpayers, that pa
per is apparently espousing the cause
of the Warren Construction company
against which it exhausted it's vocabu-
larry of abuse when it had the con-
tract to pave the business section and
subsequently was awarded a contract
which was withdrawn when a decision
of Washington court OPPORTUNITY

Warren Construction company, which
sets up howl for recognition when
ever the odds seem against the parent
company. 1t is cheap beyond ques-
ton, and like all cheap paving 1T
lacks the wearing qualities and in the
end proves more expensive than the
higher priced paving. Having paved

not get the new contract would pre-

contract was awarded, the one that
was knocked out by the supreme

Washington Paving company. 1t was
understood that this company was in
reality the Warren company, which
had been practically eliminated
through the revelations of the Wash
ington court.
In calling for bids for the paving the
council is guided by the sentiment of
the people who know that cheap paw
ing is expensive at any price, and by
their own observations and exhaustive

DR.. Brannon is not known. However,
the fact that he was too big man for
them or the governor to use in fur
therance of the plans to dominate the
state was reason enough for them to
demand his removal
But the Review is wrong in inciud-
ing the mining interests" in the con-
spiracy to destroy DR.. Brannon. On
the contrary. the mining interests
have shown the most cordial spirit of
cooperation with the university since
DR.. Brannon became head of the in
sttution, and have actually made lib
eral cash subscriptions to carry out
important work by the university
which should have been paid by the
state. So far as the mining interests
are concerned, the retirement of DR..
aBrannon is matter of universal re-
gret and suggestion that the move
ment for a tax league advocated by
ment for a tax league advocated by
the mining interests is simply absurd.
The Review says by implication
that the mines pay no taxes except on
net profits. To use its own words,
the mines pay taxes on their net out
put, leaving to the timber companies,
the railroads, the holders of city and
farm property an unequal share of
the tax burden of the state The
editor of the Review is well informed
on state affairs and the laws govern
ing taxation. 1t will be noted that he
says that the mines pay taxes on
their net output" as if that is the only
basis of taxation for mining compan-
les. What he should have said If the
purpose was to make a correct state
ment is that the mining companies pay
taxes on all real estate and improve
ments, including mining claims at
valuation fixed by the government
when patent is issued, just as is re-
CURED of all other companies and in
dividuals. And in addition mining
companies pay the same rate of taxa
ton on their net profits, not on 40 per
cent of their net profits, but on the
entire net earnings. If company
earns $1,000,00O during the year, it is
taxed on that amount The question
of valuation for taxation purposes
does not enter into the case, for the
entire profit is taxed on a basis of 100
per cent 1t should be borne in mind
and this is the point which the editor
Of the Review would apparently keep
in the background, that this net profit
tax is in addition to the tax levied on
land, mills, smeters, ,ramways, pow
er plants, Office buildings, hoists,
pumps, and in fact everything in the
way of real estate, Improvements and
that enters into the opera
ion Of mine.
1t is true that the mining interests |
iesire to retain this system of tax
ltion. and so should every other
thoughtful citizen who desires con-
of the development of the
mining resources of the state. To sub
titute for ii system of direct taxa
ion of the mines, by fixing~a valua-
ion on ore in the ground, the extent
nd character of which can not be
inown until it is removed, would
quickly and effectually destroy the
mining industry

WYOMING PLAN.
System Of Military Training for Stu.
dents Attracts Attention.


Recommendations of high army Of
ficials in favor of the Wyoming plan
as the standard for student military
training have served to call consider
able attention to the system develop
ed In the western state. The plan, ac-
cording to e. Walker, director of the
Cheyenne high school, who writes in
the Review of Reviews, was begun In
the schools of Cheyenne by Lieutenant
E. z. Steever, who was assigned to
duty at Fort d. A. Russell in 1911. He
asked and received permission to or
ganize a student cadet corps in the
high school. Military drill had been
tried in the public schools before, but
never with great success. The boys
tired of the monotony of marching and
counter marching, with no element Of
fun or contest. One Of the first things
that Lieutenant Steever introduced
among his student soldiers and which
has since remained a distinctive feat
ure of the Wyoming plan and one Of
the principal reasons for its success,
was the element of competition.
Squads were pitted against squads in
wall scaling and other contests; semi
annual drills were given, with prizes
for the winners; high school girls were
interested in the exhibitions and took
part as first aid nurses. The plan of
dividing into squads for contests was
such that the small boys were grouped
with the larger boys and thus had an
even chance of being with the winning
side instead of being handicapped as
in other forms of athletics. Every
means was taken to interest the boy
and keep him interested.
From this beginning at the Cheyenne
school has been developed the Wyo-
ming plan. Other activities have been
added from time to time, but the un-
DERIVING idea, that of appealing to the
boy and developing him physically and
mentally as well as preparing him for
military service, has remained. Sum-
mer camps, target practice, ntersquad
contest in scholarship and social func-
tons are part Of the varied activities
of the student corps The popularity
of the plan Is shown by the fact that
rs per cent OF the boys in the Chey-
enne school are enrolled in the corps
at one time and practically all of them i,
take the work at some time in their
course. Preparation for military SER
vice Is merely one feature of the sys-
tenn and probably often lost sight of by
boys and parents entered in the ac-
quirement of sure eyes and firm mus
cles.
No scheme Of student military train
Ing will be very successful that does
not interest the students. They may
be compelled to join in activities which
they do not enjoy, but the training Civ
en- under such circumstances Is likely
to be of small value and trouble al
most inevitably will be had in obtain
Ing regular attendance at drills. The
Wyoming plan is voluntary. and fig
lres showing the proportion of stu
dents who take the training indicate
that the boys interest In 1t is keen. II
student military training comes to
play an important part in the scheme
Of national defense a plan that is pc
.uliarly American will more than like
y have to be developed.

These are the gifts / ask
OF thee, Spirit serene:
Courage to face the road,
Good cheer to help me bear the tray

And, for the hours that come between.
An inward joy in all things heard and
seen.
These are the sins fain
Would have thee take away:
Malice and cold disdain,
Hot anger, sullen hate.
Scorn of the lowly, envy of the great,
And discomfort that casts a shadow
gray
On all the brightness Of the common
day.
These are the things | prize
And hold of dearest worth:
Light of the sapphire hills,
Shelter of Forests comfort of the grass,
Music of birds, murmur of little rills,
Shadow of clouds that quickly pass.
And, after showers,
The smell of flowers
And of the good brown earth
And. best of ALL along the way,
friendship and mirth.
SO let me keep
These treasures of the humble heart
In true possession, owning them by
love;
And when at last l can no longer move
Among them freely, but must part
From the green fields and from the
water clear,
Let me not creep
Into some darkened room and hide
From all that makes the world so
bright and dear,
But throw the windows wide
To welcome in the light;
And while I clasp a well beloved hand
Let me once more have sight
OF the deep sky and the far smiling
land,
Then gently fall asleep
And breathe my body Nut to Natures
NY spirit out to thee, God of the open

still being secured in that neigh

several other wells will be sunk.
