The amount of the tax which uU be collected this year, eS- re-.ally the personal tax, will ae much greater than it has been .Dr several years.
 This is not because of any in crease in the rate which is already aS nigh ats the Territory laws al low d matter of 20 mills for those who do not know. but be- cause of a better coverage and . more complete declaration on ;ac part of the owners.
 Quite a number of persons were assessed this year who have not heretofore been on the taxrolls. 4 might be stated here that those who show a tendency to evade may be assessed as far 6ack as five years using this wears assessed valuation as a basis, a penalty may be assessed
 A right good idea is to go in end make your peace with the Assessor and the City Clerk be- fore the tax statements are nailed
 In the matter of the Real prop crtE some who were assessed F nat vas thought to be too high ta,s year will be able to obtain lo,ict and some also who were a ..tlc toW will probably pay a strj~hs increase. all of which goes :. show that the city officials ..a..t 10 he fair in these matters.
 They were unanimous in their declaration to stand firmly be- p.ad t4e recommendations of the Assr ~sor, Mrs. Ling. being very pleased with her work
 The truth should be known and t developes that every Council man will pay more taxes than he cid last year so no one. on or off the council will get away from facts
 The opinion of the writer may be uninteresting 10 some but nev- ertheless we are bound to state that this seems to be good work, yell donc, both on the part of the Council and Mrs Ling.

things or events taking place be-
yond the vision or knowledge); or
for that ability which may involve
both of the former, precognition-
the ability to predict things which
will occur in the future.
And also psychokinesis, the
hardest one of all for the cynical
to swallow. That is the power
of mind over matter, e.g. abil.
ity to make dice fall the way
you want them to by thinking
at them.
Roughly, this is an example of
what has been done by DR.. Rhine
and others. After long experiment
and mathematical calculation, it is
determined that by chance alone
anybody can pick correctly five
cards out of a pack of IS. That is
just guessing, and it is even money
the subject can do it.
If he is right oftener (and may
have been right consistently more
often than five in 25) that is MORE
than chance. If he is right often
enough, it is said that he has extra
sensory perception. In other words,
he is able to perceive what the
card is without the use of his senses,
but rather by some underlined, un-
measured, unclassified ability which
science as yet cannot explain.
Clairvoyance is a common expe-
rience. An example might be of the
mother who has vivid and alarm
ing impression of train wreck. It
may be nightmare, waking hal
lucination, or just an intuition. The
wreck seems to be connected with
her son, perhaps with some definite
place like tunnel. It turns out
later that her son was actually in
jured in a wreck at the spot where
her dream assigned it.
Careful checking of such ex-
periences is now going on, and
DIR. Rhine feels that the re-
suits in these cases too, appear
to show that some unknown
process is involved, unexplained
in terms of our ordinary senses.
AS to psychokinesis, experiments
have seemed to prove that dice
rolled in a mechanical cage could
be made to fall, oftener than they
would by the laws of chance, ac-
cording to the way the subject
wished them to fall.
DR.. Rhine and his associates are
trained psychologists. They say
they are not trying to convince
anyone that the aforementioned
qualities are actually possessed by
certain individuals, but they are
trying to investigate their apparent
existence.

INFLATION: s..
What Price Bread?

Ever since the price of wheat de-
clined under the impetus of this
years bumper crop good many in
flation-harried Americans have been
asking when the price of bread was
going to take corresponding drop.
The answer is that it probably
won't, and the reason is that al
though the price of wheat is down
the cost of the other basic bread
ingredients are not.
BAKING INDUSTRY leaders, in
a considerable ferment over recent
charges that bread prices are de-
liberately being kept aloft, have
said-and with some Justification
that the present costs of bakery
goods reflects "a remarkable
achievement in resisting initiation
ary pressures."
They base this contention on bu-
reau of labor statistics figures which
show, among other things, that the
baker today is paying $2.53 for the
four major ingredients of bread that
cost him $100 in 1899.
THAT FIGURES out to an in.
crease of 153 per cent in the cost o1
raw materials; yet the American
housewife is paying on the average
only about 63 per cent more for her
bread than during the 1859 base
period used by. the bureau of labor
statistics in computing its cost-of.
living index.
Last November, BIS figures show,
flour reached a record of 164 pei
cent over the base period, and ir
December wheat of the type used
for bread flour hit record high o1
214 per cent over the base. Ano
although flour and wheat prices
have slid somewhat recently, the
flour used in bread now on the
grocers' shelves was purchased by
the baker several weeks ago wher
prices were up.
OF THE FOUR major bread in
gredients-four, sugar, shortening
and milk-only sugar now has 6
lower BIS index than bread.
And still another factor which has
the bread-makers beside themselves
singing in the wilderness is the
mounting costs of other elements in
volved in producing the staff of life
such as labor, machinery. distri
button and packaging.
Any way you slice it, it's still in
| f1ation.

And NoW a Book
On John Garner

l had another adventure which
might be called parapolitical. There
was nothing psychic about it, but il
included a piece of hindsight that is
interesting.
The hindsight is that of former
Speaker of the House and Vice
President John Nance Garner. He
said he wished he had never lef
the house of representatives to rur
for vice-president. He felt that i.
Franklin Roosevelt had had mar
like Speaker Joe Cannon in the
speakers chair-a no-man-Roose
welt could have avoided some of the
mistakes Garner thinks he made
In other words, Garner would have
liked to play Cannon to Roosevelt
This came out in connection
with a gathering of few of
the news friends of that over
six-feet-tal-Texan who looks
like Abraham Lincoln and talks
like Will Rogers. A. man who
was brought up on a ranch, but
thought cows were a novelty
until he was 10 because all they
raised on his fathers ranch
were buffalo. He is Washington
correspondent for more dailies
than any one i ever heard of,
and once we wangled him one
vote for the vice-presidential
nomination for the lark of it.
Now he's author of a book.
I'm talking about Bascom Tim
mons and his book, Garner of Tex
as" the only complete record o.
that fiery gentleman from Uvalde
whose record for integrity and po
litical ability in the house of rep
resentatives is one few can rival.
''Timmy' wrote it from his own
notes and absolutely free hand. HI
probably knows Garner better thar
anyone on earth. It's good book
It contains many interesting thing!
including the ''hindsight' I quoted
Timmons is not only popular
among newsmen, but he's popular
with congressman, presidents. COPS
and cats. One of his cats had it,
portrait painted by Howard Chand
ler Christy; another was operated
on by a specialist at Johns Hop
kins, both thereby setting up feline
records in their respective fields, a.
their master has in his. II your,
interested in Garner Of Texas,
you'll be interested in what Tim
mons Of Texas has to say abou
him.

It was an accomplished fact that
sooner or later John L. Lewis would
have his say about the 1948 cleo
ton, feeling as he obviously does
that no political campaign would
be complete without his having ex-
pressed an opinion on it.
At the United Mine Workers 40th
convention in Cincinnati the UNIV
chief showed his foot in Mr.. Tru-
mans campaign machinery by
turning a sour and sarcastic eye
on the Presidents bid for re-elec-
tion.
PRESIDENT Truman is danger
Gus to the United States," said
Lewis, and he had his mine worker
convention delegates agreeing with
him. They made it clear that they
would not GO along with the bulk
Of AFL, CIO and other independent
unions now working for Mr.. Tru-
mans election.
While the delegates cheered and
applauded his criticisms, Lewis de-
clared that:
Harry Truman is totally unfit
for the position. His principles are
elastic. He is careless with the
truth. He has no special knowledge
of anything. He is a malignant,
scheming sort of individual who is
dangerous not only to the United
Mine Workers but dangerous to the
United States of America"
PROCEEDING oratorically in
this vituperative vein, Lewis devot-
ed Is of the so minutes he took for
his speech to derogating the Presi-
dent in general and specific terms.
He charged that Mr. Truman ve-
toed the Taft-Hartley labor law only
''for the record of his campaign"
He said the President prosecuted
the mine workers and had them
fined twice because he was too
cowardly to send me to jail"
81 WAS WISHING he would put
me in JAIL" Lewis went on remi-
niscently, (which is what white
man would have done rather than
rob you."
John L. Lewis was saving his
opinions on Gov. Thomas E. Dewey,
the Republican candidate, for lat
er phase of the UNIV convention.
Lewis doesn't especially like
Dewey, either.

commission which will recommend
additional cabinet members to &C
in that capacity.
He did not specify how many viii
be urged beyond the present nine

commission said the figure unde
consideration was three.

BICFOUR:
More Talks?

Russia, whether the Kremlln ad-
mitted it or not, was dissatisfied
with the way its pet Berlin situa-
tion was being handled. The Sovi-
cts wanted it out of the hands OF
the u. N. and in the hands of the
Big Four foreign ministers.
EVEN WHILE the United Nations
was deciding to discuss the issue,
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Mol
otov was sending a note to the
u. S., Britain and France urging
that the four foreign ministers meet
to consider both the Berlin crisis
and the problem Of Germany as a
whole.
1t was a peculiar development,
inasmuch as it set the western ma
Arizona sun., 1948-10-22


that the u. N. security council did
not have the authority to deal either
with the Berlin crisis or the overall
subject of Germany.
REVIEWING the six weeks Of ne
gotiations in Moscow, the note said
that the talks did not break down
over a Russian demand for control
of all air traffic in and out Of Ber-
lin, as the allies had contended.
All that Russia wanted, said Mol
otov, was some control over air
transport to prevent black market
money deals.
U. S. Ambassador Beden Smith
had agreed with that condition, Mol
otov insisted, and quoted him as
saying: ''It is quite understandable
the Soviet government wishes to
have certain guarantees against
utilization of air transport for il
legal currency deals or black mar
ket operations. Satisfa ctory guar
antees of such kind could easily be
secured"
IF SMITHS statement is correct,
Molotov reasoned, then the Soviet
Union believes it is possible an
agreement may be reached be-
tween the four powers on "a mu-
tually satisfa ctory basis"
Anyway, Molotov continued right
eously, he couldn't see what all
the fuss was about. He claimed
there was no blockade of Berlin,
adding that the defensive, pro-
tective measure" did not threaten
international peace and security.

|URANIUM:
|Ne,U Find

Pra actically nobody, except the
people who look for it and work
with it. knows much about uranium
the raw material of splitting
atoms-but the worldwide search
for that metal is constant, often
frenetic and of inestimable impor-
lance.
CLAIMS THAT another uranium
deposit has been discovered" are
becoming more and more frequent.
And more often than not, the dis
covery fops completely. Or if it
does turn out to be a possible
source of supply the whole thing is
Immediately wrapped in atomic Sc
crecy and the world hears nothing
more about it.
The latest of these discoveries, an
nounced recently by Columbia uni
versity, might turn out to be pro.
ductive enough to be of vast sig-
nificance to the world.
SCIENTISTS have unearthed
new, green mineral which was found
clinging to mine walls in the Bel
gian Congo. 1t is a relative of the
yellow carnotite, from which the
U. S. gets it's domestic uranium in
the Rocky mountains. Carnotite is
one of the two best sources of the
atomic element, uranium.
Whether the green mineral is
plentiful is not yet known. It now
is being analyzed at Columbia uni
versity. Like the yellow carnotite,
it contains about go per cent urani-
um.
If the new mineral proves good
uranium source, the discovery
might be the most important of it's
kind since the atomic bomb first
burst upon the world. More than
100 minerals containing uranium
are known, but the element has
been too difficult to extract.
