Keb. Si. To ict here you come
out of Mexico ut Noales, mill
drive l.'iO miles, t-'oin back
into Mexico from Southern Ari'
zona through the border town
of Xtico, whence this is wired.
Before you reach Tombstone,
Ariz., pronounced by the Mexi
cans as "Tommy Stony," you
see on the left n new pile of
stones. Under the stone lies
what, is left of Ed Schief f el in.
Tombstone's father.
Scliiei'felin came to this coun
try, then ruled by bloodthirsty
Apaches, in 1S77, following de
tachments of I. S. soldiers,
prospecting as lie came. Soon
lie left the soldiers, who told
him: "You'll find no gold, but
you'll find your tombstone."
lie did find gold, and silver
' and copper, and when the gold
rush sUirted near his first loca
tion he called it Tombstone.
lie liked to wander and pros
pect and tried to sell his strike
for .$10,000. Xo one would buy.
He worked it himself and then
refused 1 ."iO.tlOO for it. He
worked a while longer and sold
out for $000,000, and he went,
not to New York or Paris, but
off again prospecting. That
was his nature.
Nineteen' years later in 1S!MS,
vyhile prospee.ting far off, eas!
of C'anyonville, Ore., he died,
alone in the doorway of his lit
tle cabin.
Mis will read : " It is my wish,
if convenient, to be buried in
the dress of a prospector, my
I ick and canteen with me, on
top of Granite Hills about three
miles westerly from the city of
Tombstone, Ariz., and that n

There he lies with autoiuo

hiuhway that his feet never

yard, with its neat fence, on
the other side of the highway,
and on to a "City of Tomb

WASHINGTON. Fell. 21. P)
The IStli amendment wus sustain
ed as valid today by the supreme
court.
Under the decision the govern
ment will continue its efforts to en
force the Volstead law.
The ruling was handed down in
the government's appeal from the
decision of Federal Judge William
Clark of New Jersey, who held the
amendment invalid because im
properly ratified.
Judge Clark contended that lo be
valid the amendment should have
been submitted to state conven
tions for ratification rutber than
to state legislatures. This view tho
court found untenable.
Law Held Invalid
When two men were brought to
trial before Judge Clark on a
charge of possessing and transport
ing fid half barrels of beer, be
(liiashed the indictment, holding the
piohibition amendment invalid.
He held its ratification by state
legislatures was insufficient to
make it effective. The government
appealed at once.
Chief Justice Hughes withdrew
from the case, stating be would

"as tlio one or I lie oilier mode of

Judge Clark held the language
should be construed as modified
by "principles of political science

flightly higher buying power In
tho coast statea was cited us sig
nificant. I ocutlon of many new pluntu
along the coast was noted us in

lines, particularly in manufactur
lii for export. The importance
of this lies in the possibility "f
solution of tho cuust's economic
problems Ki'uwlng' out of "exces
slvo and poorly co-ordlnalcd pro

very low prices."

The Industrial expansion, Sil
lier ling pointed out, was favored
by abundant power and fuel, skill
ed labor ami raw materials. Dif
ficulties to which ' thoughtful con
sideration" waa recommended were
"inadequate facilities for securing
capital; lou large a number ot
unco-ordlnated small units; and
the recent decline in const-to-coast
shipping rales which If continued
and extended to rail rates, may
open tho door to wider eastern

SALKM. Ore, Fob. 2 1. (II Thu
house of rcraonlativcH today
passed Iwu of the major taxation
measures, with but one vote
against one ot llieso bills. The
bills passed were those providing
for an excise tax on corporations
at a rate of S per cent, and tho onn
on intangibles incomes, nt S per
cent. Allen Hynou of Multnomah
county, protesting the high rato on
intangibles itieomcH. voted against
this tax.
Following the passage of those
two bills and eight minor ones, tho
house then considered seven of tho
joint ways and mteaus measures pro
viding funds for various state de
partments to the amount ot about
$i'i00.000, all of which were passed.
While the house wus thus engaged
the senate, by indefinite postpone
ment, was killing various bills ask
ing appropriations of funds for dif
ferent projects. Including the $100.
000 requested toward construction
ot a memorial at t'hampoeg.
Two Changes
The excise tax bill provides for
two changes, Kcprcscntntivo Halpli
Hamilton stated. One change in
creases tho rate of tax from 5 per
cent to 8 per cent, and lowers the
minimum foe from $-" to $10. Ham
ilton stated the increased tax
would not affect smaller corpora
tions as much as It would Imukins
institutions and stockholders.
The intangibles tax rato wan
placed at 8 per cunt, which is 'an
increase over the old tax, declared
unconstitutional, of 3 per cent. Hy
lion stated that a 5 per cont rate
would bo a fair levy on this "good
will" tax, but that 8' por cent was
loo high. Ho opposed tho bill.
In iiituivrtt In itiiAMtlnhe .llmnH.

be brought out referring the tax
to tho pcoplo at a special election
to make it effective on 1930 taxes.

ITc also stated tho tax commis

of the old tax to tho United States
supreme court, tho question to bo
