You wish to avoid me. You're
persistent about it.. Why?"
An impetuous fire leaped in his
eyes; the willing mouth gripped.
He was very close; his voice low.
Chickie's breath ached. She
wished suddenly to say: Leave

That afternoon Barbara had

went down to the little pool.
She sat there with her eyes closed.
She slept, perhaps a moment.
When she awakened in the

THE CLASH.

"Why won't you ride with me,
Miss Bryce?" He wouldn't re-
lease her hand, nor did his eyes,
dwelling on hers, waver.
"I'd rather not"
"Yes-but ] ask why. It's very

mined about this? I ask you to
dinner. You refuse. Barbara in

'"Well-that's not exactly it,

What has my father. to do
with it--with you and me?"
"A great deal. I don't wish to

Doubt flashed a moment over
his mobile face, then he leaned
down to her with his short. infec.

Bryce? Is this true?"
''Yes--it is"

NEVER TELL THE WHOLE STORY.

The newspapers fighting the proposed gross mine pro-
duction tax never tell the people the whole story. They
hide the facts. The proposed tax will impose on mining
properties that produce more than 100000 worth of ore
less than one twelfth of the taxes paid by the ranches and
farms of the state in 1923. Yet those papers say that the
tax will destroy the mining industry
A typical example is given by the Missoula newspaper
working for the mining and power companies, the Nilsson
liam. It had a long editorial telling its readers that the
new copper camp at Clinton, near Missoula, would close
down if the proposed tax became a law. But it did not
tell how much taxes that mine industry would pay.
# said the mines would turn out $3.50, 900 in ore an
nually at once. On a gross product of $75O,OO0 worth of
ore, the total tax would be only $4,375. If you capitalized
this ore turnout at 10 per cent the mines would be worth
81, 500, 900; at five per cent, the mines would be worth
$3.50 ,OOO. Cannot such a mining industry survive if re-
CURED to pay $4,375 in taxes.
To saw that such a tax would kill the industry obviously
is absurd.
The farmers and ranchers paid more than 20 times that
tax rate in taxes on their land and crop in 1928, and they
will still pay over IL times as much as the mines on q com
mon valuation, even if the metal mines measure becomes
2 law, and the Clinton mines have to pay this tax.

connection about two weeks ago.
Through an attorney he has filed
suit in the district court against
