 The Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis As sociaton, with headquarters in Phoe- nix, is launching a sale of the Tuber- culosis Christmas Seals throughout Arizona this December in an effort to raise $30,000 for a work of relief and prevention of tuberculosis in the State. Local committees are being organized in every community to handle thes sale Statistics eveal theA startling fact that 100000 children in the United States are made orphans each year by loss of their parents through tuberculosis. The problem of caring for these orphans, practically all of whom are already infected with tuberculosis, and of raising them to be healthy citizens is one of the big problems confronting every State. Arizona, because of her tremendous death rate from migratory consump- tives has large child problem with which to deal. A large portion of the funds raised this year in Arizona from the Sale of Tuberculosis Christ mas Seals will be devoted to saving children from tuberculosis. Twelve hundred State and Local Tuberculosis Associations in the United States are at work on this problem and their sole support is derived from the Sale of Tuberculosis Christmas Seals during the month of December.
 The double barred cross, the inter national emblem of the fight against tuberculosis, was first adopted in Paris in 1902 and was adapted from the Croix de Lorraine which in turn dates back to the original Greek two armed cross. The Cross has been copyrited by the National tuDercalO- sis Association and the world over stands for the control and elimination of tuberculosis.

tion, today defended his company on charges of unfairness before a flota- tion conference in connection with the twenty-third annual convention of the American Mining Congress here.
 MT. Cook was opposed by Gilbert H. Montague of New York, of counsel for the American Mining Congress, and George L. Nye, Denver attorney in an animated debate which held chief interest for delegates today.
 Answering charges that the cor poration through excessive royalties" for the use of inventions for ore sep aration through the Notation system "hindered the industry" MT. Cook said Minerals Separation "had been forced to surround itself with every safeguard to protect it's rights"
 He denied an assertion by Mr. Mon tague that the corporation had been "driven to the wall' by federal trade cOnnlSSlOn pfOceedlngS.
 "Then there will be fight until Minerals Separation Or the mining in- dustry is driven to the wall," MT. Montague returned
 The Notation process is generally admitted by mining men here to be the best method of ore separation. Minerals Separation, speakers said to- day, own and control 6S patents cov- ering every phase of the development of the process.
 The life of license agreements be- tween Notation users and Minerals Separation was one of the chief points of contention. MT. Montague assert ed these agreements would be pro- longed fro myear to year by the addi- tion of new patents, and that mines must continue paying royalties.
 Discussion of "blue sky" legislation came before delegates at the regular convention session isis afternoon. National legislation to supplement varied state 'blue sky' laws was rec commended to the resolutions commit tee for consideration.
 D. Vance Sickman, Denver mining engineer, told the convention "the pol itician who seeks attention has but to shout down with the coal trust and he instantly springs into public favor"
 "This very spirit of public condem- nation of our most important indus try may result in enactment of new state and federal laws which will fur ther jeopardize the welfare of the in- dustry," he said.
 Other speakers at the convention session today were A. G. Mckenzie, Salt Lake City; Judge E. c. Finney, member of the United States board of appeals, and James G. Fitch, Socorro, N. M. Carl Scholtz, Charleston, w. Va, presided.

Going Up

Pete Horback claims that the old est joke is the one about the Irish man who was handling dynamite in a quarry. He let a stick drop, and the whole box went up, taking Mike with it. The quarry boss came around later and said to another Irishman: "Where's Mike?"
 He's gone," replied Pat.
 "When will he be back?" asked the boss.
 "Well," replied Pat, "if he comes back as fast as he went, he'll be back yesterday" y."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

of honest work by the individual
 Seventh, demand and help develop national labor policy which shall put industrial relations under the same law that governs any other form of contract; which shall make organized capital and organized labor alike equally responsible for all their ac- tions.
 Eighth, And perhaps greatest of all, strive to lift industry as whole to the level of a conscious national service, which earns what it gets and gets what it earns"
 Creation of a bipartisan board of ten men to pass upon and settle the cases of taxes arising during CT con- sequent upon the war period of 1917 to 1920 is advocated in the report of the national tax committee. The re- port, which was made public tonight, will be read at tomorrow mornings s | session of the congress.
 War Tax Plans Incomplete
 "The excess profits tax, as is we'll known,' said the report, ''is a most complicated and difficult form of tax ation. We tender our profound re- spect to the bureau of internal rev. enue, and the many able and patriotic citizens who temporarily joined it's forces during the war, for the work that has been done, but we are deep ly impressed with the fact that the task of gathering the war revenue is far from accomplished"
 The report then pointed out that many public spirited men who assisted in administering the law during the war as patriotic duty, regardless of compensation, left the revenue bu- reau's service as soon as the national emergency was at an end.
 This and numerous changes in the personnel of the bureau" it was al leged," have increased the delay and uncertainty in the settlement of back taxes and there is now no prospect of the excess profits taxes being finally, settled within any reasonable period, unless new and radical steps are taken"
 After pointing out the alleged in- justice to the tax payer of the uncer- tainty and delay in fixing the amount he must pay, the committee recom- mended the appointment of board of special commissioners of income tax, to consist of lawyers, accountants, engineers and business men, who will sit for one year to pass upon and settle cases of taxation arising dur ing 1917 to 1920. The committee rec commended that the compensation of each member of the board be fixed at a sum not less than $25,000 per year in order to secure competent commits sioners.
 It also recommended that the board be an independent body, separate from the bureau of internal revenue and the treasury department, responsible only to congress. "The procedure un der which it should operate should be analogous to that of an appellate to which the tax payer could appeal from decisions of the bureau of inter- nal revenue, or to which he could re- fer his case in the first instance if the bureau failed within a reasonable time to make an assessment or fin ally approve of his reports for the years in question:" the report said.

(Second Day)

DENVER, Nov. 16.-Recommenda- tions for creation of federal board of experts to pass upon and settle cases of taxes arising from the war period took definite form today when committee was appointed at taxa tion conference of the twenty-third annual convention of tn e American mining congress here to consider the question. Paul Armitage, New York, was made chairman of the committee.
 R. c. Allen of Cleveland, Ravenal E. McBeth, Idaho; c. A: Fisher, Den yer, and George E. Holmes, New York, were other members of the com mittee.
 Robert N. Miller, former solicitor, bureau of internal revenue, Washing ton, D. C., was appointed to act with the committee in an advisory capa- city.
 The committee was instructed also to consider recommendations for in creased salaries for employees of the internal revenue department. Speak CTS at the conference said low salaries paid by the government made it al most impossible to keep competent men in the service.
 It was expected the committee would draft a resolution to that end to be presented to the resolutions committee of the general convention.
 Secretaries of chapters and officers of operators of dozen states con- ferred today on bullion freight rates. They prepared tentative arguments to be advanced at a railroad hearing 1 in Chicago soon, at which all west ern states are expected to be repre- sented
 It was brought out at the conferen- ce that freight rates on bullion ad- vanced from $6.65 per ton to $19.35 per ton during the war period. Cali fornia producers, it was said, save money by shipping their output by water through the Panama canal to eastern seaboard smelters. B. c. Yates of Deadwood, S. D., told con ference of gold operators that the gold industry in that state faces "disinte- yration." He pleaded for prompt aid.

ARIZONA FIGHTS
 HIGH RAIL RATES

Phoenix, Nov. 15.-The first guns in the fight of Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico against alleged exorRi- tant interstate passenger rates is fir ed in brief filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission by Corpora tion Commissioner F. A. Jones of Ari- zona which arrayed the Santa Fe, the Southern Pacific and Arizona Eastern for alleged profiteering and drew il- lustrations comparing rates in force in Northern competitive territory and in Southwest non-competitive fields of operation.
 The brief is filed as the result of the hearing in Los Angeles before Ex aminer H. c. Keene last September. The case of the three States will come up for final argument on the briefs at Washington December 2, before the commission.
 Cents a Mile Charged.
 Mr. Jones points out that the rate now to Globe is cents mile and that in spite of the continual protests of all three States, the passenger fare has steadily increased under rulings of the Federal authorities until now they are in excess of anything in transcontinental transportation.
 The history of the rates of the Southwest began three years ago when the three States were allowed a rate of 2 1-2 cents a mile through the use of scrip books, General Order No. 2S, United States Railroad Ad- ministration, abolished scrip rates. This raised fares half cent a mile in most ,Intermountain and Pacific States, which had cent rates. Rates in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico were increased thereby 1 1-2 cents a mile on main lines and where rates on branch lines was already cents, the increase was in proportion.
 Fight For 3-Cent Rate
 The Corporation Commission of | New Mexico began the fight before the Federal director general. It ask ed 8 cent rate giving uniformity with Wyoming, Idaho and Montana: Arizona and Nevada joined in the fight. The National Association of Railway and Utility Commissioners were invoked and the Corporation Commissioners of the three States were appointed to call upon Director McAdoo. McAdoo turned the com mittee over to his assistant, Mr. Prouty. Prouty conceded a 8 cent rate was equitable and no rate should be higher. This was in 1918. On January 22, 1919, he confirmed his opinion in letter.
 Nevertheless by recent order of the Interstate Commerce Commission ,he interstate passenger rates of the ,hree States were increased from a ,asic rate of cents to AS and branch ,ates ascended until Globe now has ate of cents a mile. 6
 Asks Downward Revision [ In his brief Commissioner Jones de- Jared that it did not cost more to op- rate a Southern Pacific than :, Northern Pacific train, particularly , view of climatic conditions. He de- z Jared the Globe rate should be de- reased to cents a mile.
 Based upon proper value and a ileage which would include only the ti 'ack used," he declared, "this line b. ould show earnings justifying re- ti sion of it's rates"
 The Southern Pacific, along the to
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-11-20

Coast has voluntarily reduced it's rates; the Santa Fe has maintained for years 3 cent rate East of the New Mexico Colorado State line in a territory of heavy grade.
 The brief urged a restoration of a 3 cent basic West of Salt Lake.

ARDENITES AGAIN
DISCUSS SCHOOL

Arden parents met on Thursday night
to discuss the school situation. The
parents Of the community are being as
5essed Si.23 a month a child in school.
md many of the parents maintain that
his is unfair to those with a large
lumber of children.
Last fall Ardenites conferred with the
County Board of Education on the
school situation The only school at
that time was mile from Arden, and
was overcrowded The board offered
TO supply a teacher, books, equipment
and janitor service, if The community
would furnish the building This was
done, but 1t was later found that The
quarters obtained by the Arednites
were too cold for the children other
quarters were rented, and $50 a month
was added to the teachers salary. This
brought the assessment up to 1923 a
month per child.
Another meeting will take place Mon
day night to reconsider the apportion-
ment Of the expense.
