The career of an artist whatever
his or her line of ~endeavor, is no
easy me-. 1t means hard work and
constant work, keeping ~eternally at
it in thought or exercise twenty-four
hours of the day. 1t is really amusing,
some of the questions / have been
asked about my work. For instance
how much money, how many lessons
and how long it would take one to be
able to sing we'll. No money on earth
can produce the full-throated abandon
and joyous song of your Florida mock
ing bird. It is much the same with the
artist, no money, nc sacrifice, NJ labor
is too great to expend so he may bring
a ray of sunshine into the shadows of
our lives. Love and love alone can
make the artist. Love of work, if you
wish it so. No, it is not my singing.

One of the farmers is keeping tab

know that there was a majority both
in the House and Senate that was sent
over there to back Governor Dixon's
program to equalize taxes. Are they
going to do it? The Big Interests
could well afford to spend large sums
of money to knock out the Dixon plan
to make them pay equal taxes with us
farmers. We have been paying 400
of the taxes; they have not been pay
ing over go. Now there is no use
in mincing matters. If these bills for
our relief are killed or fixed up so
they will be useless, it will be the work
of the Dixon opponents. They have
got their men right there at the
Placer Hotel to do it, if it can be
done. Then there are the millionaires
in the State that could well spend a
million dollars to defeat the inherit
ance tax the same as they did two
years ago. They have their men
right there on the job that did the
work two years ago. Of course they
will not have Edwards in the Senate

down to political oblivion, but there
| may be others that will do the same
; thing and go the way he went.

GREEDY NINE
OWNERS ENDANGER
HUMAN LIFE

San Francisco.-The state indus
trial accident commission strikes back
against critics of the commission who
insist that moral courage" in mine
inspection work is needed.
The commission answers that it has
attempted to enforce safety rules
agreed to by the. American mining
congress, by federal and state mining
bureaus, and by conferences of enl-
ployers and employed.
The commission shows how its ef-
forts were blocked to connect mines
with tunnels, and thereby permit
trapped miners to escape. 1t was the
absence of tunnel that caused the
loss of AZ lives IN the Afgonaut mine
on August 27, 1922.
Following this disaster, the commits
sion held public hearings to consider
mine safety. Strong objections were
voiced "by one or two mine opera
tors" says the commission, to any re-
quirement for compulsory connection
between mines. 1t was pointed out
that property rights would be in
fringed and that there was continual
danger from gases or water seeping
through the opening.
1t was this refusal on the part OF a
few mine owners that blocked the
commission i'm its efforts to save life
for the commission was legally ad-
vised that there was doubt whether
safety orders could be formulated to
meet the situation"
