TO ATTEND NATIONAL
 MINING CONGRESS

Charles R. Howe, chairman of the state tax commission, win leave Sat 1urday, October 15, for Chicago, where he will attend the National Mine Conference. MT. Howe not only was named a delegate by Governor Thomas E. Campbell, but received special invitation from the American Mining Congress through its secre- tary, J. F. Callbreath.
 Mir Cal1breath notified MT. Howe that. the program presented under the auspices of the congress will deal particularly with the subject of state taxation of mines with reference to existing laws in various mining states: principles and methods; and uniformity
 MT. Howe has been asked to CO., operate in arriving at such conclu- sions as will tend to equallze and lessen the growing tax burden upon the wasting industries as we'll as those which will best serve the coun- try as a whole.
 In announcing the keynote of the meeting in his letter to MT. Howe, MT. Callbreath said:
 s'Believing that a thorough discus sion of this subject by representa- lives of state governments and rep- resentatives of wasting industries will serve a useful purpose. a special effort is being made to have the gov- ernors of the various mining states send special delegates who would be fully informed on the tax laws of their respective states to attend this conference. Various states of the country having taxation systems based upon different principles ,anc methods of taxation which produce all sorts of determinations not only between particular mines within the 1 states, but between the mines of one state as compared to those. of an | other, and it is hoped that there VII l be evolved at this conference more uniform and equitable method oi taxing mines by the states.
 The Arizona method of taxation i: not similar to that of any othel state The five year average ne earnings is the basis used here fol

 Not only will the classes be taught the fundamental principles of dress and hat making, but also the little touches that tend to make the cos ume attractive. The classes will work together with the result that the frock and hat planned in color and design will be in perfect harmony.
 With the drop in price of material the economy in dressmaking will be emphasized. declared Miss Brooks yesterday. She pointed out that ma terial for a gown may be purchased for from s15 to s20, which in a ready to wear frock would bring the price up from $50 to 75. Not only will the classes be taught how to make charm- ing dresses out of new material. but made over frocks will be featured With each lesson some short cut or difficult process in dressmaking will be taught.
 The classes will meet three after moons a week, the dressmaking Glass
