TURIN.
The action of the county tax equali
zers in raising land values in this sec
tion is not approved hy the owners.
The impression seems to obtain pretty
generally that the tax equalization law
is aimed more directly at landowners
than at any other class of tux-payers,
and that the real purpose of the law is
to raise more taxes rather than equal
ize tax values. It has been a hardship
upon most landowners to pay the taxes
assessed under the old plan, based upon
their voluntary returns of property for
taxation, and to he forced to pay at the
same rate upon a higher valuation arbi
trarily fixed hy the tax equalizers will
add materially to the burden they have
been forced to beur heretofore. It has
been stated that the work of the tax
equalizers over the State will cost. $200,-
001). If this he true, it will cause some
speculation as to whether the enforce
ment of the luw will bring about the
results anticipated, The people have
had many promises in the past that the
tax rate would he reduced- but some
how or other these promises have nev
er been realized. Wo should send men
to the Legislature who will study the
wants of the people, and not pander to
thu ambitions of men who seek to cre
ate new and useless offices. Every can
didate for Governor thus far announced
has proposed some new scheme, the
adoption of which would require in
creased taxation —and so it goes.

SUPERB FEATURES AT WORLD’S
MOST WONDERFUL EXPOSITION
The $50,000,000 International Exposition at San Francisco in
Commemoration of the Opening of the Panama Canal, With
the Most Wonderful Array of Contemporary Exhibits Ever
Made, Will Be Ready Months Before the Gates Open.
The great International exposition, which will open Its gates at San
iTanclHco on February 20, 191a, will be the most magnificent universal expo
sition In history. It Is not only the rnoBt costly, the most harmoniously beau
tiful In setting und In architectural, artistic and floral beauty, and the largest
and most comprehensive In the character of Its exhibits and entertaining and
educatlonul features, but It stands alone as the first great exposition to cele-
brato a contemporaneous event, the opening of the Panama canal.
It is the first exposition ever to be held In the West, or on the shores
of the Pacific, or for that matter at any Reaport. It Ib the first exposition to
confine its competitive exhibits to contemporary things. It is the first world
celebration to be ready on time; and Its eleven great palaces and 200 other
buildings will bo ready bIx to eight months before the opening day. It Is the
first to specialize on working exhibits, models In action, and manufacturing
plants In operation, throughout Its 60,000 different exhibits; and the first to
bring to one city hundreds of great world congresses and conventions.
The Panama-Pacific exposition Is spending nearly half a million dollars
on the creation of a wonderful display of gigantic and artistic statuary. It
Is the first to employ renowned mural painters to put on enduring canvas
the symbolical story of American progress to decorate the exteriors of great
palaces; the first to call the warships of all the great powers under its walls
In a continuous review; the first to present International polo, military and
sporting tournaments, and the first to make It possible for the aviators and
pilots of dirigibles to girdle the globe In competition for enormous prizes.
San Francisco has Its nearly-completed wonderland to place in evidence.
In one or two of Its completed palaces the exhibits are already being in
stalled. Of the 7,000 amusement concessions for which applications were
made, the best now are under construction. One of these will cost over a
million dollars. Some of the foreign nations—of which 35 already have de
cided officially to participate- have completed their government buildings.
Hero Is the list of nations that have accepted the United States’ invitation
to participate officially, and many will be represented unofficially; Argen
tine Republic, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Guatamala, Haiti,
Holland, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Liberia, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway,
Panama, Persia, Peru, Portugal, Salvador, Siam, Spain, Sweden, Turkey,
Uruguay and Venezuela.
Of particular Interest to American visitors Is the decision of the trans
continental railways to cut the round-trip fare In half, for points as far east
as Chicago, with a 110-day stopover. Similar action Is contemplated with
regard to all points eaBt of Chicago. Also, the San Francisco hotelkeepers
have bound themselves not to raise rates during the exposition period.
A HANDSOME book of sixty pages, illustrated profusely in colors
and giving detailed descriptions of the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional exposition to be hold in San Francisco from February 20
until December >1, 1015, and of the Panama canal and the canal region,
will be mailed by the Panama-Pacific International exposition free of
charge to all Inquirers. The booklet 1b Intended as a general guide
to prospective visitors and will also contain Information concerning
the great engineering feat which the exposition is to celebrate. Write
to tile Manager, the Bureau of Publications, Panama-Pacific Interna
tional exposition, Exposition building, San Francisco, for the booklet.

to the Court of Palms, at the Panama-Pacific International exposition at San
Francisco In 1916. The sculptor Is Solon H. llorglum, an American of west
