HUNTING LOST TREASURES

II Is curious what attraction the idea of lost ule has the average mind. There is something con- deals with lost buried treasures We are willing to believe the stories.
 More money has been spent ill searching for the bur- jed treasures of Captain Kidd than that famous pirate ever gathered by all his crime and vanv There ar, hundreds of places which have been at one time or anoh reputed the place of burial It even claimed few years ago. that untold wealth sunk New York liarbor and a scheme to dredge for it launched good being raised. but of course no treasure was found.
 The lost treasure of the ship General Grant attract cd the attention of divers for and number of lost their lives hunting for what probably fignent the imagination. Now find a company preparing to drag the lake Wilma for which the great Ma pOeOn supposed to have thrown overheard when he crossed the lake his from Russia. Probably nothing will be found but that will deter the next Searchcr after easy wealth.

THE WORM WILL TURN

A nation Wide printers strike has been authorized to enforce the demand for 4hour week at IS hours pay
 This is the opening wedge for the 4hour week in all trades.
 It is the scientific and approved method of the labor radical for raising wages and cutting production.
 It Is the strong arm method of screwng the last nckle out of the employer
 It is estimated that the demand for printed matter has fallen off 40 per cent and machine which senograph CTS operate the market and being installed by thousands of firms to print all their forms, bill heads advertising letters. envelopes, etc.
 Its poor time for the printers to demand yet higher pay and shorter hours. Newspaper and job shops in all parts of the country closing while those that f nanciay able are adopting the open shop policy.
 The typographical unions ultimaum for 44-houl week is driving nail in the coffin of organized labor dictaon at public expense.

ARIZONA METHOD or MINE ASSESSMENTS
 PROVES VALUABLE

PHOENIX. May l2.-Due to the method of assessment employed py the state tax commission. mine vslua- tions in Arizona will be substantially the same this year as when the mines were running full capacity.
 Based on an average net earning over five-year period. the valua- ton this season still takes in the war time earnings.
 Never before has the wisdom of the tax commissions ruling come 50 prominently before the people as this year. when the taxpayer can read. fly see the advantage of the commis. sion's policy in securing the best re- suits for the state, it is said.
 With practically every mine in the state closed down or limiting em. ployes to the least possible number. the valuations would have been great " reduced had the legislature in 1915 been successful in enacting a special mine tax law which was strenuously resisted by the tax commission. The legislature proposed placing the val. nation on each years operation while the commission held that such a meth. cd would result in high valuation one year and probably an exceedingly low one the next
 Al that time Charles R. Howe. mission. served on the commission as chairman and the other members were Thomas F.. Campbell and c. N. Zander. The commissioners appeared before the legislature and urged the members to permit them to adopt d plan that would have the effect of stable and steady income for the state
 This was agreed upon with the re suit that Arizona's method is being copied by other states in the union. In recent case before the supreme court where sulphur mines in the state of Louisiana objected to valua- ton of s54.0o0.000 the state was sus- tained on testimony showing that the mines were assessed by the Arizora method.
 The tax commission not only err ploys the five-year annual net earn. ing method in mines but also in ar. irving at it's valuations of railroads. telephone and telegraph companies. private car lines, and other classes of business, including banks. produce concerns, commission merchants and wholesale meat dealers.

STOPS BORING FROM WITHIN

Reports from various parts of the country indicate that the Non-Parsan league is not dead and not sleeping
 new manager of the National Non-Partsan league of Washington has arrived ill Spokane to take charge of headquarters and state league convention be held in that city the latter part of May.
 The league is preparing to fight the primary law relating party utilization and the convention passed by the legislature making law that candidate must have been affiliated with recognized party for two years
 Theleague alleges that the purpose of these res IS to kill the farmer labor party by keeping 1t off the ballot.
 That Is not the case; that the Non Partisan league any other political organization will have to fly under its colOrs instead of slipping their candidates into office under the banner of other established po cal party This has been league practice from the be- ginning and is just another method of bOrng from with n which has been employed by radical and radical organizations in effort to disrupt political and ndusr al stability.
