question, is indicated by the state

Gated to the two houses Of the as
Sembly, calling attention to possibili-
ties arising out of a marked increase
in the assessed valuation of the state.
The attorney general cites, in his
letter, the provision. of law whereby
the property must be assessed at it's
full money value, and it always has
statehood. to assess on a percentage
OF the real value, and swear to as
sessnent as being the real money
value OF the property listed.
II the attorney general follows
out the plan he has adopted in sever
al instances, more notably the Sunday
law and the school attendance act, in
which he has taken the position that
they must be lived up to, then he
likely will pronuIgate, very shortly,
an order to assessors throughout the
state that he will not stand for per-
jury in connection with the reports
they may make. II a
The field opened by reason of the
prospective action is wide, and has
unlimited possibilities. Presenting
the state should be assessed at its
true value, it is conceded that the
assessed valuation for taxation pur-
poses would be at least quadrupled.
This would lift levy limits to new fig-
ures. open the way to greater expendi-
lures In every taxing precinct in the

Ambassador Gerard and his staff,
and all American consular officers left
Berlin Saturday. They will travel by
way of Switzerland. The future Of
the 1000 American citizens still in
Germany appears to depend largely on
the reaffirmation of the treaty Of 1893.
The number of persons in both coun-
tries for whom passports must be
secured is large and therefore this
work will require some time.

TULSAN FIRST WITH
OFFER TO PROMOTE
AN AVIATION CORPS

From The World Bureau,
WASHINGTON, April S.-Tulsa
can always be depended upon to act
first and to act its best The latest
proposal from a Tulsan comes as the
first offer to enlist volunteer aviation
corps for the use of the army and
navy, made to the war department
Monday by Charles j. Wrightsman,
ir, son OF well-known Tulsa oil man.
He is now in Washington being taught
aviation with view to raising vol
unteer corps in New York. Some
time ago young Wrightsman made II
known to his father that he wished
to enter the aviation corps of the
army. The proposition did not take
very well with the senior WrightS-
man, who at the time did not see the
necessity for such a course. In order
to divert the boys attention, Mr..
Wrightsman purchased and gave to
his son very expensive motorboat
of high speed. II tended only 10
stimulate the boys desire to master
the airship, and since war practically
has been declared. the father has
given his consent.
Mr.. Wrightsman also rendered to
the navy the use of the motorboat,
which easily can be converted into "A
speedy Chaser
