COMMISSION CASE
 IN SUPREME COURT

The question as to whether a state tax commission should be elected this fall has been carried to the supreme court, the case of Sidney P. Osborn, as secretary of state, appellant. vs. An drew Baumert Jr., appellee, having been filed in that court yesterday on appeal from the superior court of Mar icopa county.
 Through a decision by Judge Lyman it was declared that no vacancy will exist on the state tax commission on January l, 1919, and therefore no pri- mary or election to fill that office should be held this fall.
 The controversy grew out of the ap- pointment of Rudolph Kuchler to fill the place on the commission made va cant by the resignation of Thomas E. Campbell. Mir. Campbell had been elected in 1914 for a term of six years, and as MT. Kuchler was appointed in January. 1916. it was declared in the superior court decision that he has four years to serve, his term not ex- piring until 1920.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 22.- Pronounced weakness developed in the corn market today owing principally to bearish crop reports and to big receipts. The close was unsettled Is to 25s net lower, with August s1.4SA to s1.4S12 and Septem- Der $1.49% to $50. Oats finished $ to 2h off. In provisions, the outcome ranged from cents decline to 10 cents advance.
 Field conditions for corn were al most ideal, with arrivals of about 62o carloads. The market accordingly be- gan to decline at the outset but a scar city of selling orders made shorts un- easy and. led to covering which brought about material upturns. After the de- mand from shorts had become ex- hausted, however, the market weak ened rapidly.
 Oats reflected the action of corn. Rural offerings were larger, and threshing advices favorable.
 Announcement of the placing of big orders from the government gave firm ness to provisions and so too did high CT prices on hogs. l Close:
 Corn: August s1.4S14; Sept. s1.49a
 Oats: August 67Bc.. Sept. 673sc.
 Pork: July s45.50; Sept. s45.50.

Billie Burke at the lamara

No more delightful little entertainer graces the American stage than petite, winsome Billie Burke, she of the infec- tious smile and the. sum- kissed hair.
 In her stage career, this charming girl has never known a failure. Her ev- cry stage effort since she became lead ing lady for John Drew some years ago has been a success.
 Her advent on the screen was the occasion for Peggy" and who does not recall this pajama- clad sprite who wormed herself into the hearts of ev- eryone who saw the truly delightful comedy.
 Then followed her Mysterious Mrs Terry" for Paramount and again her charm of manner and her beauty won for a spot immediately on the screen.
 She comes today in a picture, "The Land of Promise" and to add to the assurance of a Billie Burk production the Paramount people have had none other than W. Somerset Vaughan noted dramatist and writer, do the scenario.
 | The Land of Promise" will be aug. mented with a Burton Holmes trav- elogue and the two offerings remain for three days beginning at the La. mara this morning.
