The position of the port of South
ampton is that of England's premier
passenger port, and no further evil
dence of this is needed than the fact
that 304 045 passengers and AZ 1868
troops, giving a total of 352,013 per-
sons, arrived in the port and depart
ed from the docks in 1910. The geo
graphical position of the port is not
only unique, in that it is situated al
most midway on the coast line of the
English channel and within easy ac-
cess by rail of the metropolis, but it
is blessed with the unusual natural
advantage of double tides, which give
1t virtually four hours of high water
twice day-an advantage enjoyed by
no other port in the world

 of Arizona.

Tucson Citizen: "The state tax commission in allowing an arbi- trary raise on the cattlement with. out going to the trouble of equaliz- ing the assessment of livestock all over the state, is taking the lazy and unjust way of raising the revenuefrom taxation" said George w. Atkinson the pioneer cattleman of Santa Cruz county, on his return from Nogales where he appeared before the board of supervisors sitting as a board of equalization against a raise in his assessment. 'It would be comparatively easy for the tax commission to equalize the assessments of livestock, said. Mir. Atkinson. "The records of shipments are available through the Livestock Sanitary board. A cafe ful investigation by the commission would disclose that some cattlemen are now paying on B 1-3 per cent of their herds, while other are pay ing from 70 to 100 per cent. In Santa Cruz county, for example, the taxpayers are assessed on basis of 70 per cent, while in Pima county the assessment has been made on basis of bout 33 Is per cent. l would like to inquire for what purpose the tax commission was created. About all they have succeeded in doing so far is to make arbitrary raises in assess ments on stocks of merchandise, cattle and other lines of business without going into the merits and determining where raise should be justly made"

KANSAS CITY. July 19, 1912.- Cattle received here this week 31,- 100, last week 22,900, same last year 37 200. Buyers are in bearish mood this week in spite of the small run of cattle. They say a large share of consumers have cut down on their meat purchases be- cause of the high price, and the hot weather. It is easy to see how every advance in the retail price of meat shuts off all those con- sumers who were paying up to the limit of their ability before. In that way the market is double acting, the working out of which theory will put a limit to the alti- tude to which prices may soar. Prime cattle are not held as firmly as a week ago, and grass cattle, including the best grades from Kansas and Missouri are 15 to % cents lower than Monday. In Chicago the situation is said to be even worse, buyers being relentless in their demands for reductions. Quarantine cattle have arrived more freely this week, but not up to seasonable volume. Steer prices range from $4.25 in most cases, though two lots of choice Texas steers, weighing about 4175 pounds, brought, $7.50 today. That.is the highest price ever paid for quar- antine cattle here in July. Prime natives are quotable up to $9.50, native grass steers $6.50 to $8.50. The stuff has been in strong demand this week, and is a little higher than a week ago, especially grass cows and heifers which range from $3.75 to $5.65. Calves are also higher, tops $825. Stockers and feeders find a good outlook at firm prices, S4.25 to $6.50 for stock steers, $6.00 to $7.00 for feeders.
 Hogs received here this week 38,600, last week 34, 400, same week last year 47,000. The market has lacked stability this week, heavy
