For four successive days including
Thursday-the last reported-railroad

Fairy Tale
zoo CREATURES
~WARY GRAHAM BONNER

Il have double eyelids," said the
Emu, "even If my long legs do look
very funny and as If they were carry
ing around body Of gray hay.
"My feet are long and my legs are
long and my face Is somewhat blue,
but am sensible creature and l let
my mate do lot of the work for me.
"0h yes, ! know how to do the help
less act"
"What is the helpless act7" asked
Billie Brownie, who had come to pay
visit to many of his zooland friends.
SWELL" said the Emu, you will see
quite often the kind of creature who
cannot do things and who win not
learn how. Oh yes. Well, that kind
of creature very often doesn't want
to learn so that there will be no call
upon him or her for work.
Nov they will say:
az would help you but don't know
how
"And so they appear helpless and
get out of doing things, and it's almost
always done on purpose"
Now Billie Brownie had long ago
been given the ability by old Mother
Nature to understand the language of
all her children.
He stopped and spoke to the Man
churian Crane, whose relatives lived
In Siberia, Japan and China.
''We were treated as sacred cranes
in Japan once upon time" he told
Billie Brownie.
Then Billie Brownie spoke to the
White-Necked Crane.
"Our homes are usually on the open
plains. We build our nests as rule
on the ground and there we lay the
eggs of white with their little specks
of brown"
Next Billie Brownie spoke to the
Camels as they were always great
friends of his. AS they chewed and
moved their mouths from side to side
they said:
Hello, Billie Brownie. We're glad
you're fond of us. We're gladsof that
indeed"
Then he spoAe to Mr.. Indian Ante

Il was born here" he said. Eyes,

Brownie, If you ever want to point out
my birthplace to your friends you will
know that here 1t is.

Here Is the home of the Indian
Antelope. Now all say:

is quick at understanding. which Is
lucky for you, my dear"
Mrs. Indian Antelope smiled.
Il understand. never fear" said Bill
lie Brownie.
Then Billie went to say Hello, to
the White Bearded Gnu.
His white hair was around his eyes
and upon his chin and he was talking
to his cousin, the Brindled or Blue
Gnu, and to his other cousin, the
White-Tailed Gnu.
They were all rather gloomy looking
and didn't have much to say for them
selves.
I'VE @me from Africa" the White
Tailed Gnu said. awe have queer

II know that my nose is. strange in
shape, my horns are as queer as can
be.
MY hips are ridiculous and my long
tail. which looks like the tail of a
horse. is quite absurd for me.
"Years ago member Of my family
was called the Horned Horse But
Of course he wasn't horned horse any
more than I am now, and none of my
family were, but we do look a little
that way. Yes, little that way" he
ended as Billie Brownie said that he
feared II was time for him to leave.

answers by the House military com

None of the offers submitted by
the bidders and ferwared to Congress

made the basis upon which the com.
mittee built Its reply.
The committee acted in a way, II
was explained, which will leave Its
decision subject to acceptance by
any person or interest willing to
meet its terms and which will permit
II, at the same time, to support its
counter-proposal before the House
when the subject of Muscle Shoals
is acted upon in that body.
No time was lost by the bidders in
calling for their answers. w. B. Mayo
chief engineer for Mr.. Ford, was the
first to receive a copy of the COM
mittee's plans, the representatives of
the Alabama Power Company, Fred
Engstrum, Charles Parsons. makers
of other bids. were asked to advise
the committee whether they would
accept the proposal. Mr.. Mayo said
be would confer with Mr.. Ford in De
troit before giving an answer.

ARIzONA'S FEDERAL
 TAXES REDUCED

Productions in Federal taxes, which are effective for the current year, will save the taxpayers of the Arizona dis .r1cr the enormous sum of $l ,Oo3 ,172, according to special survey of the cancellations and decreases in tax rates provided by the Revenue Act of 1921, completed yesterday by Internal Revenue Collector Frank R. Stewart.
 "1he reduction in taxes for 1922 is approximately as follows:
 sIncome tax ....-..-.-.......... S5o4,4Oe
 Transportation tax ..--.... 497 1881
 Sales and luxury tax w .21l,383
 While the transportation, sales and luxury tax cancellations become ef- iectlve January 1 of this year, the in- come tax reduction covers 1921 as well as 1922, and thereafter.
 An outstanding feature of the re- port is the fact that during the four years, the transportation tax was op- erative, the Arizona district paid Uncle Sam $1,391 ,300.3S, in transpor- cation tax, divided as follows:
 Freight ......-....... Ss80,833.01
 Passenger ....-.......... 486,591.33
 Express ....,................... 12,355.56
 Pullman Berth .-......... 1,52O.48
 'This means that in the last four years $17,141,254 was expended in The Arizona district for transporta- ton charges alone. Of this amount S11,010,412 was for freight charges, $154,444 for express, S6,082,392 for passenger fares, $l9.00o for Pullman berths.
 "Let it be borne in mind that the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Sys- tems collect an enormous tax in Ari- zona that is not reflected in the above figures for the reason that the returns of the above mentioned Companies are made from their main offices in other states.
 "The $354, 4,408 income tax deduction is due to the fact that the exemptions allowed heads of families and depend ents under the 1921 law is $250O for heads of families and $400 for each dependent which means an increased
