SAN FRANCISCO. June 29-Actual
preparation of the Democrat platform
delegated last night to a subcommittee
of nine under administration leader
ship, waited today while the platform
committee of So kept open house to
hear final suggestions and arguments
from many sources.
Labor, liquor and the Irish question,
all subjects of disagreement among
party leaders were up for debate at
the committees public hearings.
Besides there were many speakers
on issues of lesser controversy, and
there seemed little prospect that the
long list could be finished until late in
the day.
Subcommittee Report is Heard
Meantime. as observers studied the
makeup of the subcommittee. it be.
came more apparent that the real con-
test over the platform would come aft
er the subcommittee report had been
laid before the full committee for re-
view.
William }. Bryan, omitted by the ad-
nlinistration leaders from membership
on the subcommittee, said he prob
ably would not present his planks on

CORPORATIONS "COME
THROUGH" ON TAXES:
RATE MAY BE LOWER

City and county officials who have
been more or less perturbed over the
prospects for an increase in the tax
rates for next year, following the
doubling of taxable values this wear.
have experienced a feeling Of relief.
They have heard well-founded re-
ports that the tax valuation of the
county may be considerably increased
by reason of the higher valuations
being established on the majority of
corporations doing business within the
county, principally in Richmond
In the event there is an appreciable
increase in the taxable valuation OF
the county. it Is the general opinion
that the present tax rates for the
county, the city of Richmond, and the
school city of Richmond. will be large
enough to provide the required rev
enues, Notwithstanding the fact thar
in each instance a larger revenue will
be needed on 1921 than in 1920
Corporations Are Responsible.
The corporations themselves are
responsible for the increases now be-
ing made in their valuation. 1t is said
Before the county tax board began it's
sessions for the consideration of tax
assessments against corporations,
each corporation was called upon to
submit to the board a financial state
ment In regard to It's valuation.
Almost without exception. it Is
stated. corporations submitted accu-
rate valuation statements, based on
similar reports they had previously
submitted to the federal taxing au-
thorities.
No chance was taken, it is said. in
submitting a valuation report to the
county taxing board which did not
coincide with the valuation report the
corporation had made to the United
States government.
Set Own Valuations Higher.
1t is stated almost without excep-
ton each corporation whose report the
county board has passed upon, has es-
tablished for itself valuation higher
than the valuation fixed for 1t last
year.
The total taxable valuation for the
city of Richmond as established last
year was s35,240,00o. 1t is predicted
that the new total valuation soon to be
established will show an increase OF
several million. practically at the en-.
tire expense Of the corporations, for no
increases in the valuations of real es-
tate are contemplated at this time.
The county tax board expects to close
its sessions July 8.

Thursdav. Dec. 23. 1880

Washington, Dec PA disgraceful scene occurred in the house of repre- ssentatives on Tuesday afternoon. The parties were Sparks of Illinois and Weaver, late Greenback candidate for president. Sparks roared out, You're a scoundrel and a villain" in response to Viewers epithet of "liar." Weaver rapidly walked toward him, stripping off his coat as he proceeded, and Sparks, after catching a chair for moment as if to raise 1t. commenced to pull off his coat and advance toward his approaching adversary. Numbers of their respective friends hastened to seize them and hold them back, but Jones of Texas, a Greenback sympa- thizer with Weaver, meanwhile jumped over his desk. exelaiming, If there's going to be a fight. I'm in It." Mills of Texas was observed to plunge his hand into his hip pocket as if to draw a pistol. The members gathered to the point from all about the house and amid cries of order from the ser geant- arms and all sorts of indis- tinguishable utterances, the confusion momentarily increased until it actually looked as if a free fight were immi- nent. Speaker Randall very properly disregarding the fact that the house was in committee of the whole and that no motion to rise had been made, hastily took the chair, displacing the

Then this is drawn off and gallons of clear water is put on 10 thoroughly wash the fruit. Then the fruit is hand sorted again for color. and is put into tin cans and cooked for 40 minutes at 240 degrees tenn perature which makes the fruit abso- lutely safe. And then the cans are cooled under cold waters jets and the clever labels chosen by Miss Gregg are put on and the olives are ready for the market. The Gregg factory deals only with the wholesale trade, an. sell through jobbers. so if you wish to try this product, and I am certain that you will never use any other once you have eaten them ask your grocer for the Olivette brand.
 A very small proportion of the people of the United States eat olives, it seems. In fact, Miss Gregg told us that if the people of the city of New York alone consumed them as do those who live in this sunny southwest, all the output of California and Arizona would not supply that one city alone. So perhaps it is a good thing that they are not so well known everywhere, else some of us might be left out.
 And then about the olive oil. Every

Drunken Drivers of Cars

One act which we would like to see put through by the incoming legislature would be law making it felony for while in intoxicated condition to drive We should like to see straight pen alty of year in the pententiary attached vioax tions of this law and should further like to the law buttressed that foolish and weak hearted courts should not be able to suspend such sentences
 In addition to this penalty the person so victed should be prohibited from driving for the period of year after his release from the penitentiary and special license should then be given him only after the furnishing of proof that within that year he has ndt tasted intoxicating liquors.
 There is nothing to be said in behalf of the drunken driver of car single mitigating cir cumstance be brought forward.

one knows the many virtues of pure olive oiI-how it is used for medicinal purposes as well as for table use. And how perfectly delicious really good olive oil can be- We saw rows and rows of clear amber oil, bottled in crystal clear glass containers of Varl- ous sizes Miss Gregg told us that the oil is made from an olive of a diff ferent variety than those used for pickeling. This olive contains more oil and is much smaller They are handled with the same eXacting care as are those used for canning, ana after be- ing cleaned of any foreign material, they are crushed and pressed through a heavy press. put in large tanks and allowed to stand. Then the water Is drawn from the bottom and the pure oil put into other tanks where it stands for about eight months, after which the delectable oil is ready for bottling Every ounce of oil that you purchase bearing the Gregg label is absolutely pure. with not another ingredient add ed to it And here you can see it. we found things so very interesting that I am showing you a picture Of the bottled oil and the canned olives.

They eN- ect to spend about much for their friends and in their desperation they do not how they spend it. so that great deal of it is spent in useless and not udicious giving. Purchasers of Christmas gifts expect their friends to accept the prices paid for useless articles as evidences of the giyers thought fulness of them the articles themselves should be of no use,-only to be laid away and forgotten.
 This year told that while purchasers are liberal with their money the spending of it is att tended by closer calculation to the things for which it is spent.
 The shops of Phoenix were never better stocked with things of real if the merchants had an- ticipated the way in which the people would look at Christmas giving this year; and their judicous selections gifts.

Wasn't that the most delightful din- ner, Jean" asked Mary Baird, as she and 1 were leaving the Allison home last evening. Mary and I had been dinner guests there, and had had a most delightful time. One of the req sons for that may be, perhaps because Mrs. Allison is such a splendid host ess and her dinners are always just exactly as they should be.
 And those lovely big red roses in the center of the table, exclaimed Mary Weren't they gorgeous? Mir. Allison brought them home this eve- ming"
 They surely were,' I answered. And those olives, Mary! How many did you eat? Weren't they the best that you have ever tasted?"
 Yes, they were delicious. Wonder where they came from?"
 Why, they are home product" answered. Mrs. Allison always gets Arizona olives for her table. She in- sists that they are the best And she may be right at that.
 And it was only day or two later that Mary and I had the pleasure of seeing how the delicious piclSled olives are made from the fresh fruit. And,
 
 olive fresh from the tree? Awful, wasn't it? One can hardly imagine that such a delicious relish can be made from such puckery fruit 1 Well. Mrs. Allison who had an errand at the Gregg Olive factory, on South Central avenue, suggested that Mary and I go along and see just how the | olive industry is carried on in Arizona | Miss Jane Gregg, who, with her sister, is the owner and manager of the l factory, showed us all that there is to see in the factory and the way the ] fruit is proeessed. And, by the way nothing but the ripe fruit is used in the Gregg factories, Miss Gregg insisting that a green olive is no more edible or nutritious than is a green apple.
 To begin with, Miss Gregg stated that the olive orchards of Arizona are absolutely free from any smut ol other disease that has attacked the or l chards of other states. which is, fir itself, an item that goes a long way towards turning out the delicious pro- duet of the local plant. Then, the fruit instead of being knocked from the trees, as is the custom in many of tho | orchards, is hand picked thus elimi- mating any danger of bruised fruit get. ting into the factory.

A Forgotten Law

Editor The Republican
 Dear Sir:
 Spit! Spit, Spit.
 I have been in this city for nearly month. and l can stand it no longer. Is there no law against eXpectorating on the streets of Phoenix, or have the citizens grown so used to seeing their streets thus spotted that they do not care? Men stand on the corners and expectorate; they sit in the street cars and expectorate. It is an abomination and nuisance. as well as a deadly menace to the health Of every person who walks the streets.
 Phoenix is filled with tubercnlar people. who come here to be cured of' their disease. and it is 3, crime against the healthy to allow them to fill the air with their germs. We know that germs are not air borne but they are dust borne, and in this sunshiny eli mate, where the air is so free of mois- ture, We have plenty of dust The saliva dries quickly and rises in this dust, to be breathed by everyone alilke-sick or well. It is fair, neither to the sick nor the well. to permit this to con- tinue. Those who come here to regain their health have just as much right | to demand that it be stopped as those who wish to remain well.
 l Today I rode down on the street car behind q man who was well advanced l in tuberculosis. He coughed and e1- l pectorated continuously while l sat | lthere-which was not long. I went up in the front of the car and found a seat, but the motorman did not let me long remain in ignorance of the fact that he chewed tobacco and that he l wanted the whole world to know about i it. His aim was probably expert-IIl give him credit for that-but there was just breeze enough to wait the spray backward, and when I finally decided that I'd rather get off the car and
 walk l had to pick my way down the
 steps through great splotches of the
 juice contributed by him.
 One has almost 10 wade through the
 obnoxious spittle to get on and of
 the street ears. And every corner is thiclxly dotted with men who seem tC
 have but one aim in hfe--and that is
 to add to the disgusting condition oi streets and sidewalks. Really. wheF
 the city streets I feel as if ali th'
 bathing i can take will not make m
 clean, nor all the precautions which
 take to keep my throat free iron
 germs prevent me from getting them
