ASSESSMENT CANNOT
 BE MADE ARBITRARILY Y
Attorney General Gives Opinion to State Tax Commission Relative To Powers of County
 Assessors

Recently the state tax commission addressed a letter to the attorney general asking for his opinion as to the powers and duties under the old law of the county assessors and if these officers in the several counties have the right to arbitrarily fix the assessment of property for the pur- poses of taxation in the several counties.
 Unmindful possibly of the fact that all taxes are assessed more or less arbitrarily the attorney general is of the opinion that nobody has the right to arbitrarily assess any valuation. The letter is herewith printed in full:
 Phoenix, Arizona. March 26th. 1913 Arizona State Tax Commission, Cap
 itol Building, Phoenix Arizona
 Gentlemen-In response to yours of the 26th instant and the queries pro pounded therein l have this to say
 That neither your commission nor the County Assessors can arbitrarily value or assess any species of prop erty or any other class of property in the state of Arizona, whether mining property or any other class of property because all properly in the State of Arizona must be aseSs- ed according to it's value, and said value may not be arbitrarily assessed or determined. The ad vaiorem method of assessing mining property is. in my opinion, a legal method. AS to whether or not it is an advisable or practicable method is d question of policy for the legislature and your commission to determine. and l do not care to express an opinion 1 officially upon the same. as I deem it the province of this department to express to your commission and | ot the legislature official opinions on | ly as to matters of law and not as | to policy
 | As to whether or not the present l system will lead to litigation. it is l impossible for me to say for the req 1 son that the question as to whether | or not the owners of any particular class of property will litigate their i rights does not depend upon the | wording of the law alone but on | the dispositions of the litigants. I do l not know what legislation has been
 had in the legislature or has been | contemplated during this session re- 1 latiVe to the taxing of mines. | would advise, however. that whether the ad valorem method is used of | valuing mines or the bullion tax or | some other method is to be inaugur- ated that some class of q mining
 bill be passed at this session if pos sible If the legislature intends tC
 adhere to the present system of tax ing mines. though I do not deen such enactment absolutely necessar.
 from d legal standpoint 1 would ad wise as a precautionary measure tn
 reenactment of that provision of tn
 code which declares that mines shal be assessed the same as other req property

Senator Works Declares
Lind's Mexican Mission
Has Proven A Failure

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19.-Special
Envoy John Lind's mission to Mex
leo has proved a fiasco in the opinion
of United States Senator John ID.
Works, who returned home from
Washington yesterday. The senator
reiterated ris assertion of several
weeks ago that Mexican policy of
President Wilson, like that of Taft,
has been foolish and weak and in
clined to place this country in an un-
enviable position in the eyes of the
world powers. He also denounced the
tariff policy of the administration.
"Mr. Lind has accomplished MOTH
ing" said the senator. 81 do not ex-
pect he will accomplish anything il
he remains in Mexico. What the out
come will be no one can predict. Pres
ident Wilson like ex-President Taft,
has refused to take a decided stand
and prove to Mexico that the United
States means business.
"The Mexican situation, l might
say, is up in the air President Will
sons demand that Huerta should not
be a candidate for president was alb
surd. Mexican officials and the resi-
dents of that country generally thor
oughly believe that the United States
will not use force, and they treat
Americans as they please. l would
not be surprised at any time if other
nations called on us to protect their
citizens, if we are still to adhere to
the Monroe doctrine.
Speaking of the tariff situation,
Senator Works said:
'The Underwood bill undoubtedly
will pass. The government will thus
be reversing its whole policy, will tc

MARKET REPORTS
LOS ANGELES PRODUCE.


LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18-Dealers
on the Los Angeles produce market
said yesterday that the present spell
of hot weather. had a bad effect on
several fruits and vegetables and that
its general tendency would be to force
the prices up. Grapes will be the most
seriously affected, according to the
produce men,, as they will dry up on
the vines. This will so limit the sup
ply of good grapes that they will bring
fancy prices when shipped in to the
market. 1t was reported yesterday
that grape growers were having great
trouble to get pickers to go into the
vineyards and that for this reason
many good grapes were allowed to
dry up. III
Vegetables will also be affected al
| though to much less extent. 1t was
said yesterday that peaches would
have a tendency to clean up faster and
this will make the season shorter than
had been supposed. Tomatoes and 9TH
er vegetables which have tendency
to ripen quickly in the sun should
come pouring into the market for the
next few days. The heavy demand for
lettuce sent the price Of the fancy
shipping stock to SIPS crate yester-
day. 25c higher than the previous
quotation. Green peas sell for around
A &C to SIC a pound
There were no changes in eggs, but
ter or cheese yesterday. The hot spell
will probably seriously affect the qual-
ity of the eggs sent in and as they are
already high, prices promise to be al
most prohibitive until the supply of
good stock increases.
Receipts of produce in Los Angeles
yesterday were: Eggs, 227 cases;
butter, 27,554 pounds; cheese, 47O
pounds; potatoes. $40 sacks; onions,
$50 sacks; sweet potatoes, 334 sacks;
apples, 1900 boxes. Following are the
wholesale quotations:
The following butter and egg quota
tiOns are taken from actual sales on
the Los Angeles produce exchange.

Butter-California creamery, extra,

BARLEY MARKET

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1s-In the
local grain pit today barley options
were quiet, but firmer. December sold
at $1.45Z1.45k and $1.491s was bid
for May. Cash barley on the local
sample tables was quite, but firm for
choice offerings. Receipts of barley
here today were 14,7 centals. Cash
wheat and oats were firm. Receipts
of oats included the big amount Of
II ,16O centals from the north, but the
bulk was said to have been placed
ahead. Corn was firmly held.

abandoning completely its policy IF
protection that has prevailed almost
since the republic was established.
"On the dutiable list have been
placed many articles not produced n
the United States, and in which there
is no competition and where there
can be no claim of protection. This
amounts to a direct tax on consumers.
"On the other hand they have
placed sugar, from which the govern
ment received $50,0OO,OOO revenue, on
the free list And so with wool, which
also produced large revenue.
"This will leave the government
without sufficient revenue to conduct
its affairs, and to meet this reduction
the bill provides for an income tax,
which is, of course, direct tax.
Taken as a whole, the Underwood
bill will test the question of whether
the people of the United States are
ready to surrender completely to the
doctrine Of protective tariff, and ac-
.cept in its place legislation which is,
in principle and in many respects,
actual free trade"
Senator Works declares President
Wilson's attempt to push through the
currency bill at this session is against
the wishes of many Republican and
Democratic congressman, disgrace.
Senator Works still has hopes that
the Pomerene bill will be taken up
in conference and changed. In fact,
he declares Senator Pomerene prom
ised him, on the floor of the senate.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18-In response
to the strongest cables of the season,
our market opened about 81 per bale
up and held the advance practically
throughout the session. Liverpool re-
ported European trade buying and
said that the bear party there had
given up the fight and were covering
freely A better demand for the actual
was reported from the south and crop
advices were decidedly less favorable
in the center belt, with Texas wires
stating that damage from rain and
high winds had been underestimated
1t hardly seems conservative to bull
the market just as the marketing is
coming to it's heaviest stage, but the
tone is good. The prospective supply
and demand position is strong, and the
long side looks to have the best of
the argument.

football Eastern teams are now well
down to practice and the "big nine"
conference teams of the middle west
will get down to business Saturday
The conference rules prevent practice
before Sept. 20, but things will be
set on fire after that date. Taking it
through and through, a very enjoyable
time is expected to be had by one and
all during the coming season. i large
crop of new doctors came from the
colleges this year and all are in need
of something to do so the football
season may cone along about just the
right time.

ever, Harvard is looked upon to re-

veterans who must be replaced this
year are Wendall, FELTON, and Gardner.

to that of Bficklev.

ing this year. Howar ;cnes will take
charge Of Ellis football hopes for 8

he will establish a system of play as
sound as that shown by Percy Haugh-
ton, at Harvard. Heretofore Yale has
changed both head coaches annually,
except that of Walter Camp retained
in his place as advisor. Camp will
continue to act in this capacity witr
Jones.
Captain ketcham is the only all
American star in the Yale line up.
Line-man Talbot, Pendelton, Warren,

team will again be in their places, tut
the line will have to be filled out from
last years freshmen eleven and the
substitutes. Not single member of

coaching this year, and it is to them
to build up practically an entire new
team. The only regular line-man TO
return this year was Phillips, left
tackle. Five men who won their let
ters by substituting in the Yale or
Harvard game are back, but only
three of the real string men are avail
able. The other positions must be
filled by picking from the substitutes
and the 1916 freshman eleven. Cap
tin Pendleton is lost to the backield
through graduation and De Witt
through the three year rule.
Pennsylvania is another team that
was shaken badly by graduation. Cap
tain Young, Minds, Wilson, Journay,
Marshall and Walter Simpson are the
men left.
Both Army and Navy have much
building to do, but as. the one big
game with them is their own little
tussel they expect to be in the best
of shape. The argument as to where
this game would be played has been
settled and the teams will get together
on the polo grounds.
