taurants also endanger the public by the manner in
which they handle the foods They pick up pieces
OF pie in their hands before serving them to the
customer. They also use their fingers in dishing
out the cuts of butter. This also, in spite of the
fact that the walters and Mattresses do not
look as if they are in extremely good health and
regardless the fact that they have been handling
all sorts of things in the restaurants without wash
ing their hands previous TO picking up the food,
There are always some restaurant proprietors
who want to do the right thing. There are also
some who, it seems, would rather continue the risk
to the public health than to go to the little add
tonal expense which would be involved in the
adopting of more sanitary methods.
1T should not be regarded the nalienable
right of any person TO sell food in any manner that
they please Standards should be in the interest
of the public welfare. And persons who WI. net
comply with such standards should be made to do so

I'm the Spriirlgttiirr1e

It's Just at this time of the year
that we need something taken from
Nature to restore the vital forces.
People get sick because they go
away from Nature, and the only
way to get well is to go back.
Something grows out of the ground
in the form of vegetation to cure
almost every i'll. Some of these
Vegetable growths are understood
by man. and some are not. Ami
mails, it would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field
or yard, which, when found and
eaten. often restores appetite and
health. Haven't you seen these ami
mails do this very thing yourself?

LEASES NOT TAXABLE
IS B0WMAN'S RULING

Especial Correspondence to The Journal)
Santa Fe, May 13.-AccOrding to
Assistant Attorney General Fl. s.
Bowman there is no authority for
leyying a tax upon a lease. His rul-
ing is made in response to a re-
quest from the state tax commits
sion, and follows:
State Tax Commission, Santa Fe,
y. NJ.
Gentlemen: -Reply to your let
ter of the 18th instant. addressed
to Mr.. Askren, in regard to the au-
thOrity Of the commission to tax
leasedholds, has been delayed ow-
ing to the necessity of making a
thorough investigation regarding
the inquiry propounded and our
desire to make a thorough search
of any case that might be of value
upon the subject.
We agree with you in your state
ment that the leasehOld is proper
ty, as is also held by all elementary
textbook writer's upon the subject
of real and personal property, but
we are at q loss to understand why
a holder of q lease should be taxed
upon the leasehold because he has
an advantage ov& a person who
has bought his land and owns It
in fee II the leasehold is taxable
at all it must he so because of the
fact that it is held to be property
within the taxing laws of the state,
and not because the person who
leases has had business foresight
enough to lease his land from the
state, or some other person, at
nominal rental rather than to pur-
chase it outright.
Again, if the owner of a lease
from the state to state lands is sub
icct to taxation upon his lease, then
so is the owner of any other lease
from owners of lands other than
the state, as it would not be pos
sible to discriminate in favor of the
leaseholder from an individual or
q corporation and against the lease
holder from the state. We take It
from your letter that it is your de-

cannot make it rain, and so the buck is passed to

We say the state can compel the contractor 10

sire to tax the lessee of state lands
and not the lessee of lands owned
by private individuals or corpora
tions.
Aside from the foregoing, how
ever, we find no statutory or other
authority granting the right to levy
tax upon a lease. Leases are in
tangible property and do not there
fore fall within the provisions Of
the constitution which provides
that taxes levied upon tangible
property shall be in proportion to
the value thereof
We believe, in order to tax lease
holds it will be necessary that there
be direct legislative authority to do
so. We find no states which levy
such tax.

RARE DRUG FOUND
 > AT TOYAH TEXAS

A recent analysis of oil taken from one of the wells in the shallow oil fields in the vicinity of Toyah, Texas is reported to have shown that the product of the we'll carried icthyol, a rare and costly drug, used in medi- cine. According to the analysis of the sample submitted, there were about five pounds of the drug to ev- cry barrel of oil. As icthyol had a pre-war value of from $500 to $500 a pound, the drug would greatly add to the value of the product of the wells, as by product.
 The analysis also showed that the residue, after the extraction of the icthyol, was a cylinder oil of very fine quality which should bring from 90 cents to $1.25 a gallon. With five pounds of icthyol at even $500 per pound, the lowest pre-war price quoted, there would be $25.00 added to the value of the raw product of the shallow oil wells of this district and to that would be added $36.00, the value of 40 gallons of cylinder oil at 90 cents the lowest wholesale price quoted or an aggregate value of $61.0O a barrel if the analysis was correctly made and the sample ana lyzed true one.
 Another sample analysed by anoth- CT chemist showed heavy vaseline content and still another sample from we'll seven miles from the we'll which showed the icthyol and the vaseline showed five per cent of gasoline, 16 per cent of kerosene, 40 per cent of 54 degree lubricating oil and 39 per
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-06-05

cent of 40 degree lubricating oil with a very slight trace of parafine
 Because of lack of knowledge of the actual worth of the raw product of their wells, the operators in the shal- low belt of the Toyah Basin are mak- ing no attempt to market the yield of their wells till the numerous sam ples sent for analysis by the Chamber of Commerce have been reported upon by the chemists to which they were sent. If the presence of icthyol or other valuable by-products, in com tmercial quantities, is established it is among the probabilities that a reduc- tion plant suited to the needs of the oil will be erected for the purpose of handling the output of the shallow wells of this field.
 Hitherto all the icthyol in the world was found in very limited quantities in Southern Russia, in Portugal and in the Australian Tyrol and it's control was in the hands of German chemists The war cut off the Russian and Aus tralian supplies of the drug and the drug and the prices shot skyward as result. The icthyol found at Toyah is the first to be found on this con- tinent and it should aid greatly to the value of the product of the shallow wells of this section if careful analy- ses prove it's existence in commercial quantities.
