A WORD OF WARNING.

public hearing the mine-ax features of
the revenue code has been called for tomorrow,
by the Finance Committee of the Senate.
Dangerous delays have already occurred in the
consideration of this code by the committee. The
completed bill was handed to the Governor two
weeks ago today and was transmitted by him to the
legislature, on the following day. The printed bill
was in the hands of the legislature week ago
today. The public hearing which was postponed
nntil tomorrow called for last Tuesday but was
postponed under the plea that there had been
nc time study the provisions of the bill This was
argued in spite of the fact that typewriter copies
Il had been in the hands of these gentlemen for
week.
A2s The legislature has only three weeks left for
lwork Speed is necessary if any intelligent results
\ are to be had upon important legislation promised
to the people.
Months ago the Special Revenue Commission
had elaborate hearings upon the mine-taX question
All the mining were present and all they
had to say was heard. The minutes Of these hear
oings were published in pamphlet form and have
been in the hands of all interested parties for two
I months. Further hearings covering these subjects
are absurd in the face of this record and the
shortness of the time.
The Revenue Commission employed expert as
sstance and wrestled with this problem for months
The revenue code before the legislature is the
result of all their labor. 1t represents, not only
the Judgment of the members of the commission
and their expert assistants but also of the repuh-
lican party for this commission was the creature
Of the party. A commission created for the
+ reason that the Legislature had not the necessary
time to struggle with the problem
If the Finance Committee tolerates the opening
OF this whole question for renewed discussion their
good faith will be questioned 1t will look to the
people like a deliberate conspiracy to muddy the
waters and to delays until the legislature mas
not the time to act.
The minds of the people are made up Fuphc
sentiment demands ad valorem tax for mines
with an expert assessment. 1t demands profession
alizing of our whole assessment system. The people
demand action upon these vital matters and others
Governor Mechem and the Senate committee
should see to 1t that all mne-t tax discussion tomof-
u row is confined to consideration of the spechc
provisions of the bill If the bill is unjust or unwlse
In any particular let the defect and the proposed
oJremedy be pointed out. Simply that and nothing
more To do otherwise will be to allow the mining
interests to play ducks and brakes with the whoie
b question.
The republican party should put itself right
with the people by the prompt and intelligent
handling of all its promised legislative reforms It's
attitude should be such will hold the CO.
operation Of the good people of the party and re-
gain the lost confidence of those who deserted 1t
because of its previous record.

to issue from the patient. Finally, through sheer
physical exhaustion the outburst subsidized.
Then the French savant who was not to be
baffled either by man devil, began his work.
Addressing the supposed evil spirit, the doctor
said:
prove to that you have taken possession OF
this poor man."
The spirit" asserted "its" willingness to be put
to the test.
MAKE him raise his right hand" the savant
commanded
The patients right hand raised.
Make his raise his left hand" was the next re-
quest.
The left hand raised.
"Now," said the scientist with an air of tri-
umph, make the patient go to sieep!"
The patient slept
1t hypnotic sleep. caused by the sug-
gestion of the physician. While the patient was in
questioning, to tell his story.
1t appeared that he had committed deed which
preyed his mind to the extent that he believed
himself possessed by the evil one. SO strong was
this belief that, by auto-suggestion, he had imper
sonated the prince of darkness according to the
popular conception.
Though the exercise of more patience and tact,
as well as by securing his patient the forgiveness
of the aggreved party the obsessed man was re-
stored to mental health.
Thus, inch by inch, Science has it's fight
against the most powerful Demon of them all--the
Demon Superstition.

One was the case of Jennie Baca, OF PhoenN

Two centuries ago, these two children would

Some one would have been burned at the stake be-

changed all that He starts with the assumption
that there is a terrestrial rather than supernor-

work patiently to find that cause and cure his

So the bunny gentleman took
