Phoenix Bureau in Los An geles Spreading the Leav- en of Arizona's Possibili-
 ties Among Travellers From All Over the World

The growing popularity of the Phoenix bureau at the Los Angeles chamber of commerce is very en- Couraging to the men who planned and keep it in operation
 Possibly because this is the neXt door neighbor country to that sur rounding Los Angeles, many people make a special effort to find out about it. and it is throngs of such that swell the visitors list at the bureau. In many cases men come in tn ask about the Salt River valley There is large element of drifting population on the coast. Seekers for homes and places to locate daily in quire about the work conditions in Arizona.
 Not only does the attractive eX- hibit catch the eyes of American wanderers. Several days ago a large rarty registered from England, men Of standing and means. They al seemed very much interested in the new state, particularly in the matter of mines and irrigated lands. Those are the two lines that attract the investor most strongly. and Mrs. Cowgirl, who has charge of the bu- reaU made it plain to the visitors that Arizona really had something worth while.
 Mrs. Cowgirl lectures frequently on Arizona. She receives great deal of complimentary mention in the news Tapers, and her hearers speak of the clear way in which she presents her subjects Recently an engineer in the service of the city remarked upon her thorough knowledge of the recla- nation features in the Salt River valley. and the mastery she displayed of scientific terms

 BACK FROM THE WAR.-George II. Clement of Fl Paso and formerly an Arizona newspaper man, arrived here yesterday from old Mexico where he has been for several months as As sociated Press correspondent with the rebel troops under General Orozco. He is a little indefinite concerning his fu- ture plans, or rather he is letting his superior officers think for him. He was ordered to report at once to PhOe- nix and await orders. He arrived here only to receive instructions to proceed to Santa Fe, for what purpose he does not know. He has in the meantime wired to Fl Paso for his trunk in the hope of it's arrival in time to give him some citizens clothes instead of the kahki uniform he is now wearing from necessity rather than choice.

icopa county but as the district com prises the entire state Judge Sloan
 is of the opinion that the grand and
 trial juries should be selected from
 the state instead of from one par
 ticular section. Accordingly he made
 an order in the United States court
 Friday that the clerk and jury com
 missioner make up a new list of not less than three hundred names, se-
 lected from the state at large, from
 which list the grand and trial juries
 will in future be drawn.
 There are a number of mining
 cases on the calendar for trial by
 jury and Judge Sloan deemed it best
 to secure jurors from all oyer the
 state to hear this litigation.
 The drawing of the grand jury was
 ordered yesterday for September IT and for the trial jury. September A. It is likely that the former will be convened on October and the lat ter. on October IA
 Another new phase of the litigation in which the Arizona Mutual Say ings and Loan association is involved was presented yesterday in an argu- ment on what is known as applica- tion No. for the appointment of receiver for the company. This is the case brought by C. w. Clark. The application is based on the fail ure of the defendant company to comply with the order of Judge Nor row for the filing of a s10,000 bond by last Thursday Judge Sloan indi- cated that if the bond were ready by next Monday, at the time of the hearing of petition No. ?. on it's merits he would allow the bond to be filed as of Thursday the time fixed in Judge MorrOW's order. Among other matters yesterday was the approval of the order of the commissioner transferring Frank Mar

Muskingum county, Ohio where he began voting for pres idents fifty-six years ago. His first vote was cast for John C. F'reemOnt. who. by the way. was the first terri toriaI governor of Arizona.
 Mir, Dillon has voted for every re- publican candidate since with a sin gle exception. In 1904 when MT. Roosevelt was the candidate, MT. Eillon was residing in Arizona and so did not vote He said feelingly. that in the light of later events, he was thankful to Almighty God that he was then denied that privilege It is a waste of words to say that MT.

HELM DISAPPEARS

His Friends Are Quite Certain from His Actions That He Has
 Gone Somewhere.

P. R. Helm, who has been associat- cd for years with the Pratt Gilbert company, disappeared mysteriously last evening and has not been seen since the Phoenix train on the A. & c. left town. He has committed no crime and made no effort to con ceal his movements, the mystery of his departure being confined to the , secrecy with which he conducted his preparations up to the last hour of the day.
 So far as can De learned he failed to secure the consent of his fellow
 members of the Navajo club at which place he makes his home. This ir- l regularity of course is no more seri- ous than a violation of precedent but , it is construed by some to denote in-

 It is said that MT. Helm told some one as the train pulled out that he would be gone two weeks and that although he was leaving for the west he might come back from any old place giving color to the theory that he intends to go east but is going around the world in order to throw his friends off the track concerning his real motive for going anywhere

RETURN FROM FLAGSTAFF

Charles R. Osborn, secretary of the board of control and State Engineer Lamar Cobb, have returned from their trip to the Grand Canyon, on road in- spection. The governor was with them until they got as far back as Flagstaff when he finished the journey by train Osborn and Cobb say the roads were even worse on the way home than they were on the outgoing trip.
 NERI OSBORN iNJURED-Neri Osborn was knocked over by an auto mobile Thursday evening while wait ing for a car in front of the Ford ho tel Though he was badly bruised up and sprained. no bones were broken and he will be out in a few days. His escape from death was a narrow one. The driver of the machine stopped it as soon as he could and took the in iured man to his home on West Adams street.

FIRE RUINS HISTORIC
OLD REVERE HOUSE
Boston, Mass, Jan. 16.-The
historic Revere House, once the
stopping place of presidents,
monarchs, soldiers and diplomats,
was completely destroyed by fire
early today, one fireman being
killed.
More than 800 guests and SER
wants of the hotel had narrow es-
capes from death, and fled into
the street with a temperature be-
low zero mark, clad in the light

clothing, and; were given refuge
in adjoining buildings.

FIGURES DO NOT LIE, BUT.
LIARS CAN FIGURE

The jury in the packers trial is
receiving a liberal education in
what can be done in the way of
manipulating figures.
Member the boiler about ''hGrd
times" the packers raised during
the period of the panic of 1907?
You do? Well, listen to what the
government attorneys proved
rom Morris & Gompany's own
books today:
During the Is months of the
panic period, Morris & Company
sold the hides of slaughtered
cattle for $3,403.
This amount is the entire re-
ceipts for hides during the IS
months as shown by their own
books.
Doesn't seem like hides are
profitable things to handle, does
it? The jury in the packers trial
did not think SO today, until the
government attorneys added to
their information about the ulti-
mate fate of the hides.
The company to which Morris
G. Company sold" the hides for
$3,403 turned right around and
sold these same hides for the cute
little sum of S., 147,454.
What did you say? That Nor
ris & Company must be nutty to
let go of hides worth 100000
odd for $1,000?
They might have been-if they
hadn't happened to own and con
troll the company that handled

Morris VIII Have Fast Ball Club

Wednesday night the base ball boys
held meeting and a committee was
elected to look after and select play
ers. With little backing of bust
ness men, Morris should have a first
class team this season, there being
some crack players here and the OUT
look better than ever. Morris did not
get into the so called league along
the line as there was no one willing
to start anything. But there are a
good many towns to play around Nor
ris yet, there being only six in the
league and games can be arranged
with the best of them. Also Grace
vile will have a fast team in the
field this year again. There was
over twelve hundred dollars subscribed
for the team there in one day. Why
should place like that be ahead of
this town? Baseball is a good boost
er for any town and there are very
few that do not see this. Every
place has some kind of team.
The first practice will be held Sun
day. May 10. Anybody knowing
anything about base ball, turn out
and show what you can do. A man
ager and captain will be elected as
soon as team can be formed. Fan.

THE NEED OF TAXES.
To Raise Funds To Do Things
Government Can Do Cheapest.
XVI WHY TAXES ARE NECES-
SARY

XVI WHY TAXES ARE NECES-
SARY.
Organized society, usually called
government, has many objects besides
securing to people the fright to life.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
To attain these ends it frames policies
promotive of the general welfare and
it devlses ways ard means to defray
the cost of carrying out its policies.
The latter is the age-long problem
of taxation.
1t is a general policy of government
to do those things for all which no one
could do as we'll or at as low cost for
oneself. For instance it establishes
public schools under that policy. To
secure to all the Fright to life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness" it
must preserve order insure enjoyment
of those rights, protect individuals
and property. To do this it has to
establish and maintain courts and their
staff of officials. To give effect to
these and the many other functions of
government public buildings must be
erected and maintained, land and ma
terial bought and large number of
persons employed, all of which must
be paid for.
Organized society has no o.her way
to obtain the money with which to de-
fray these costs than by compelling
those who get the benefits to contri-
butte the money. 1t cannot "make
money" 1t can borrow it, but that
merely defers to a future time the
call upon the citizen. Without money
to carry on its activities gov eminent
could not exist and society would re-
lapse into the barbarism from which
its organizing redeemed it. This is
the unacceptable condition that makes
taxation necessary.
Out of the experiments of govern
ments in the past, modern governments
have come to derive revenue mainly
by two methods, one the direct, the
other the indirect method of taxing.
The direct tax is based upon Adam
Smiths third principle tina" everyone
should contribute to the general ex-
pense in proportion to his ability to
pay" In theory. although not always
true in practice, ability to pay is
measured by the amount and value of
property owned by an individual and
is known with US as the general prop
erty tax. The indirect method levies
a tax on commodity or service. Ex-
cept where limit is put upon what
price may be charged for commodity
or service, these owning the one or
rendering the other may add the tax,
to cost and. merged in price, pass it
on to be paid by the consumer or the
served. OF this form of taxation our
gross earnings tax and the license
paid by liquor dealers are illustrations.
The direct tax is intended to rest
where paid and not be shifted on to
Others and, largely, this is true. 1t can.

Why Rotate?
I. CROP ROTATION IS CROP CO.
OPERATION.

Rotation includes crops that pre-
pare the land for the next crop. In
continuous grain-growing, weeds, in
sects and plant diseases are encouraged
Wheat, not being fighter like these,
gets the wrost of the battle. Letting
weeds grow in grain is like feeding a
hog and a lamb in the same trough. I"
j. H. Worst.
2. CROP ROTATION KEEPS UP
FERTILITY.
Alfalfa and clover enrich the soil
in nitrogen and humus. Grasses add
humus. Corn makes plant food
available. Manure is the, best fertilizer.
3. CROP ROTATION ERADICATES
WEEDS.
The cultivation given corn and DO
tatoes kills weeds. Alfalfa, grasses
and clover crowd out weeds and pre-
vent their seeding.
4. CROP ROTATION ELIMINATES
PLANT DISEASES AND
INSECTS.
Each plant disease lives on a GER
tain crop. Rotation removes that
crop for few years so the plant di-
sease starves out. Insects likewise
prefer certain crops.
S. CROP ROTATION SAVES MOIS-
TURE.
The cultivation given corn and pot
atoes saves moisture. The humus
added by alfalfa. grasses, clover and
manure increases the water-holding
capacity of the soil. The enriched soil
has more concentrated solution of
Morris tribune., 1912-05-17

plant food, consequently the plant
needs less water to make a given
growth.
6. CROP ROTATION DECREASES
THE DRIFTING OF THE SOIL.
The humus added by the alfalfa,
grasses, clover and manure holds the
soil-grains together. This prevents
drifting, just as the bunch of shingles
will not blow. but when the band is
cut the wind carries the shingles
away one by one.
7. CROP ROTATION WITH LIVE
STOCK THE MOST PROFIT
TABLE.
In feeding crops to stock the product
secured is worth from twice to several
times as much as the crop. The CAPT.
tai, work and expense needed in feed
ing the crop is not as great as that
required in producing it. From this
it is plain that the most profitable
part of farming is stck-raising.
8. CROP ROTATION DISTRIBUTES
WORK.
In grain growing the work lunches.
This makes the labor expensive,
inefficient and hard to secure. When
crops are rotated the work is spread
over a longer season. Competent
help is then more easily secured at
reasonable prices.
o. CROP ROTATION IS CROP
INSURANCE.
Rotation of crops brings increased
returns and returns every year, favor
able or unfavorable. and continuously
through the year. In grain-growing
he returns grow less and come only
at tbreshing time. Some years thresh-
ing time never comes.

may merge taxes in rentals, or money
lenders who may make borrowers pay

Much of the garden land in lower
Siam is made by digging trenches to
raise the ground, so that half is trench
and half ridge, and only rice can be
grown in the trenches. Thus practical.

gives any return, yet the price of such
land in the best localities is S1OO to
