WILL INCREASE
 THEIR TAXES

F. Zander, a member of the state tax commission was in town Saturday enroute to Phoenix from a visit to Apache county.
 Judging from rumors the tax payers of Apache county, or at least some of them, do not hope that MT. Zander Twill come again" We are not quoting Mir. Zander, but according to the tales told, there are some who have not made proper returns of their taxable property. Apache coun- ty is said to be wealthier than Navajo but it's remittance of state tax indicates the opposite. It is for this reason that the state tax commission has taken an in terest in raising the Apache tax roll.
 Apache county is not the only one, however. Pinal and Mohave have also failed to satisfy the tax commission with the amount they are contributing to the sup port of the state and have been told that somebody will have to pay more taxes.

THESE FIGURES
 ARE HARD TO BEAT

The Coconino Sun gives it's home city Flagstaff credit able boost for the title of metro polls of Northern Arizona. In point of population Holbrook is not able to make the claim of greatness, but in volume of business there is no town from the western boundary of Mohave county to the eastern boundary of Apache county, even including Yavapai county, that can claim and prove a larger volume of business than Holbrook.
 The wool shipments this year will aggregate 100000 pounds. This is approximately the annual shipment. The prices paid were from 133 to Is cents per pound. Fourteen and a half cents per pound would certainly be a fair average. This means that the sheep men received approxi- mateN $29O, 900 % for their wool clip.
 The annual shipment of cattle is approximately 700 carload. The average price paid during the past week was 5000 per head. The average carload is thirty five head. This would mean a shipment of about 9, 900 head. A valuation of $5OO, 900 ought to be considered very con- servative.
 The exportation of sheep and horses IS no small item. but the shipment are hard to estimate. It is safe to say that the total corporations from Holbrook ex- ceed a million dollars per annum. There are hides, belts, Indian ware, and sundry similar items which figure largely in local ex- port, but their value is hard to estimate.
 The importations are certain ly surprising. The average is four carload of merchandise each day. There are few towns in the entire state that receive larger shipments.
 Conservatively speaking Hol- brook has fair claim to the title of business center of Northern Arizona. We lack the population but our natural advantages will eventually bring many more residents. The pro- spects for the future are pro missing.

Making Use Of Land

Washington, June 12. Amer ican farmers have much to learn. # they ever decide that it is de- sirable to learn it, with regard to intensive cultivation.
 United States Consul Robert Frazer. Jr., of Valencia, Spain, has written to the State Depart ment to the effect that in the Province of Valencia families subsiston the produce of four tenths of an acre of land that, as many as 160 families live on 100 acres. The cultivation is by hand, little machinery being used and the land is officially valued at an average of $656 an acre. Rainfall being insufficient, irrigation is necessary, but the production is enormous, amount ing to more than 1000. 900 metric tons of oranges, olives. grapes. and other crops.
 In view of such figures as these, one is tempted to ask why there is any cry of a land famine? The Government is still giving away land for nothing, and in some localities it is giving the homesteader 320 acres. while in others it has reduced the period of time required to get title to a homestead to three years.
 Undoubtedly the rush to Canada is largely misguided. It has been induced by active ad- vertising on the part of Canada. and by more liberal regulations for the taking up of lands. Many Americans who have precipitate- ly crossed the border are likely to come back again as soon as they can do so without loss, and they will be the better for their experiences. Moreover, they will have learned that the distant fields always look greenest, and that Uncle Sam still has as good lands as are being given away by any other government.

Registration Bill
 COnfuses the House

A rock on which the democra- tic house hopelessly split yester- day was the registration bill. It was supposed this was a bill on which the unterrified had reach ed an absolute conclusion, but it seems, in fact it was pretty clear ly demonstrated, that this was an entirely erroneous conclusion. The house moiled and toiled over the bill for an hour or two in the forenoon. and at the end of the longdrawn-out debate the bill was referred to a committee consisting of Representatives: Linney, Murphy, Jones, Graham |and Saxon. The instructions to this committee were to put the bill into some sort of shape that would be agreeable to the house and to report today. So the agony will all have to be endured again.
 It has to be confessed that this is a fearful and wonderful bill. It has more safeguards than were ever dreamed of before. It this registration bill becomes a law the registration officers will have a complete biography of every voter and of a good many of his antecedents, his personal habits, method of living, and several other matters before he can claim the high privilege of voting, even for a justice of the peace. There are also a good many regulations as to casting a vote at a primary.
 One of the things on which the house stuck was the administering of the oath to a prospective voter. Several argued that this oath didn't really mean anything, but the house refused to look at iU in that way. Representative Lynch said 1t was asking too much to require any man to incriminate himself by swearing that he is a republican. Also there were several other semi-humorous ob- servations regarding the propos- ed laws; and in general it may be said if the committee can take the scrambled ideas of the man who introduced the bill and get them into satisfactory shape, it will have performed a service which no other committee has yet been able to perform. -Ari- zona Rep.

 The proposed appropriation for the CheveIon creek bridge came up for the third read and final passage in the senate Wednesday and the attempt was made to have the proponents of the bill consent to the appropriation coming from the general road fund. This they would not con sent to, and upon final passage, although the bill received majority of the votes of the senators present and voting, it lacked one of having a majority of the senate and was therefore lost. The Arizona Republican apt ly remarks that enough time was lost in the legislature in squabbling over the bill at the rate of $500 per day to have built the bridge.
