Motor Traffic in Infancy.

Following is an extract from the ar
ticle dealing with street accidents:
Time alone can show how far the
displacement in trade vehicles of horse
traction by power traction will affect
the latter's death columns in the future.
As yet trade motor traffic is in its in
fancy. If the increase in the number
of accidents caused by IT is in the same
ration as il has been for passenger We
hicles, the outlook is not a pleasant one.
There is no escape from the evidence SO
graphically afforded by the diagram that
power-driven traction claims many more
victims a year now than horse traction
does.
In the total of 360 are included 1877
deaths due to motor omnibuses, which
are thus alone responsible for nearly
half again as many deaths as all kinds
OF horse drawn vehicles caused in 1906.
1t Is not, therefore, surprising to find
that while the total number OF deaths
from all kinds of street accidents re-
corded by the metropolitan police force
in 1893 was 112. in 1911 this figure had
increased 10 4l2, and In 1912 had swollen
To al, or more than three times the 1903
total. Such is the penalty for eight years
OF progress In London street traffic"

The Cochise Tax Rate

According to the Bsbec Review the tax rate of Cochise county will be in the neighborIlood of 5o cents this year, last year This re- duction is direct consequence of an increase of valuations in Cochise county for taxable purposes from $3Iooooo0 last year to $S7.0o0.oO0 this wear If the rate suggested by the Review should be adopted, Cochise county will have found it nee esaary to avail itself the proviIege allowed p, la" of increasing its receipts from taxation by not more than ten per the receipts from the same source last year. On d $31 100000 valuation the taxes amounted $43640o while on a vaIua- ton of $S7,oooooo they would this year amount to $435,oo0.
 The greatly reduced rate We have said would be the direct consequence of the increased valuation but in all the counties, as well as in thu. state itself there will be such proportionatc re- auction for the reason that the same businessIiEe methods which have been employed in Cochise county during the two years have not gen eraly prevailed throughout the state Tn fact ther, IS only beginning of their prevalence elsewhere
 Cochise has been practicing any false economies It al the money it needed for ernment, but it has been reducing the waste For instance, 1t has been shown that ill the first six months of the present year, the expenses of gov ernment in Cochise were $27,0OO less than for inc corresponding six months of last year tbougb tb. proper natural expense would have increased
 The saving has been effected wholly bv tho elimination of waste by the adoption of sr.ggcs- h"ns by the Cochise County Taxpayers league and the friendly cooperation between the league and the board of supervisors.
