ASSESSMENT Of
ROADS PROPOSED
Measure introduced in the
House Makes Radical
Change in System Of Fix
ing of Valuations.

A bill appeared in the house Of rep
resentatives today that attracted not
little attention. 1t seeks to provide a
new means of arriving at the assessed
valuation of railroads, telegraph and
telephone systems. Under the present
system of assessment, the state board
of equalization resorts to blanket
plan. Data is gathered on the various
systems and the board of equalization
with this before 1t decides whether the
valuation shall be raised or lowered
The branch lines are assessed sepa-
rately from the main lines.
The bill introduced in the house to-
day provides that the total valuation of
all of the property of the railroad, tel
ephone or telegraph company shall be
first ascertained after which the mile
age shall be learned and the total val
uation shall be divided by the number
of miles or rail or wire, and the result
will be the valuation of the assess
ment per mile of the system.

ARMY MULE BROUGHT
BACK TO ITS OWN BY
ORDER OF GEN. BELL

FL Paso, Tex. Feb. 2.--Brigadier
General George Bell. Jr., commanding
the border division here, has rescued
the army mule from the discard. Since
the motor truck was adopted for trans
portation purposes on the border the
mules have been standing idle In the
corrals at Fort Bliss and at the army
camps. The motor trucks proved
more speedy, less trouble to drive and
capable of carrying heavier loads than
the mule drawn wagons.
General Bells orders have changed
all this and the army mules have come
back into their own. The order in :
structed all regimental commanders to
see that the mules We're used for every
possible purpose and the food forage
and fuel for the troops on the border
are now being hauled by mule dra wn
wagons. The motor trucks are used
only for emergency work.
When the motor trucks were first
purchased they were apportioned to
each regimental command. This was
found inconvenient as many of the
trucks were left idle for days and 9th
ers were kept going night and day. TIC
remedy this the motor trucks were col
lected in a few genera! In ck camps and
organized into comma. d similar to the
other units of the army.

COMPLAINT ALLEGES
VIOLATION OF THE
PROHIBITION LAW

The unlawful possession OF intoxi-
eating liquor and possession of liquor
for beverage purposes is alleged In a
complaint on which Charles MCGUIRE
was today bound over to stand trial in
district court by Judge Floyd c. White.
The bond Of the defendant was fixed
at $500 which he has not furnished.
MCGUIRE was arrested by the city
detective department Jan. II, 1917. and
was found to have both whisky and
wine in his possession.
The complaint upon which he was
bound over charges that the mere pos
session is unlawful and also the pos
session for beverage purposes. This Is
the first case in which both questions
have been put squarely up to the dis
triet court in a complaint, and those
who contend the law Is defective will
watch the result with interest.
