LONGER WHEEL BASE IS
 FEATURE OF NEW HAYNES

Every year the Haynes Automobile company of kokomo, Ind, has brought many new surprises to admirers of fine motor cars but never in all its eventful history have the efforts been so well re- paid as in the production of the new se- ries Haynes touring car.
 The new series Haynes carries seven passengers in the most comfortable man. her. There is much more room because of the added length of the wheelbase. EX- perience has demonstrated that a long wheelbase improves the riding quality of an automobile. Haynes engineers have
 long realized this and have given a 1S2- inch wheelbasa .tosithe new series Haynes touripescar Another decidedly iaoticeaole result is the more oommodious tonneau. The large rear seat is comparable to the easy chairs and divans of the homcg Then, too. the resful rear, front and
 auxiliary seats are fashonabiy uphoI- stered in genuine leather which is arts- Itically laid in quaint French piaits. The feeling of satisfaction is further en- hanced by an arm rest on each side of
 the rear t0nneau seat The auxiliary chairs, which fold away into the re- cesses of the front division. carry the two extra passengers. The floor of the tonneau is covered with horsehair car pet so that there Is an assurance Of economy and serviceability. Durable ii- noleum of an attractive shade is used for the floor of the drivers, compart- nlent. The rear cowl is made more beau tiful, by the leather covering. Five large carrying spaces are provided to hold small parcels. Four of them are in the doors; one in each. Another compart- ment is to be found between the recesses in the front division. This one has special locking device. Under both of the front and rear seat cushions are spacious places to carry the more bulky pack ages and articles
 One of the outstanding features of the new Haynesl'is the metallic instrument board Here are conveniently arranged all the indicators and starting and light ing controls. In starting the car it is your foot because a starting lever Is included on the instrument board. A slight pressure of the hand starts the motor. A similar system of operation controls the various lights.
 The higher body sides allow the passen- been famous for it's efficiency and mighty power. In the new Haynes the power plant remains practically unchanged There are some minor improvements. The higher body sides allow the passen- gers to ride low in, the body, an entirely satisfying sensation. The height of the hood is also increased to conform with the new body sides. All these changes and improvements have been combined to present a touring car that Is not only plea sing to the eye but one that im- presses the user of an automobile with the desire to give the new series Haynes touring car most important place in his vacation and business travels.

TO EXPERIMENT WITH

About year and half ago the
city OF Seattle bought the street rail-

could operate the system on s cent

such statements in spite Of the fact
that the trained, experienced men
who had spent years on the system
had clearly shown the economic fal-
lacy Of these political promises and
predictions. -
Now after only one years opera
ton by the city. with over million
dollars loss, the Seattle city council
has put the fare up to 10 cents

POWER COMPANY

Property Owners Suffer.

lie utilities commission, of which 60

This is the valuation upon which rates

that the rates should be high enough
to give fair return on the capital In.
vested.
But when II comes to paying taxes
a different valuation Is used-the one
fixed by the state board of equaliza-
ton. The assessed valuation OF the
company, as fixed by that body and
supposedly covering all Of Its property
in Utah, is $14.184, 100, or less than
two-thirds Of the valuation used for
rate-maklng purposes.
Whenever any property In the state
escapes valuation or Is under-valued
the taxes which should have been paid
for that property must be met by the
owner of some other property. There
fore, the direct result of the double
valuation as its affects you is that you
pay high rates for your power, and as
result of the low valuation placed
on the power company's property for
taxation purposes you are paying a
proportionately higher tax TO the state
Incidentally the last session of the
state legislature, which was controlled
by the present administration, In
creased the salaries Of the four mem
bers OF the board OF equalization from
$500 to $4,000 year, ard that means

THE SELWYNS HAVE

field of play production, when some
eight years ago they were associated
as play brokers. At that time Ed

success as an actor and Archie had
set out to become the family mil

of his ambition seemed ten long

THE Utah Power and Light Com.

i pany, in its report to the public
utilities commission, showed valua-
ton of $42,OO0,0O0, of which 60 per
cent is In Utah. This is for rate-mak-
ing purposes.
The assessment made by the state
board Of equalization placed valua-
ton on the property of S14, 164.1 100, or
almost two-thirds less than the value
given for rate-making purposes.
Your farm was assessed at around
S14 per acre. Your assessor placed a
value of that much upon 1t. Apprais-
ers did likewise. The state board OF
equalization and assessment increased
this valuation to $42 per acre, just
three times the value which your as
