MILLER TELLS IF AR|zONA'S s
 MINE TAX LAW
Striking Address of Ari- zOna Tax Commissioner Delivered at Buffalo Con ference on Method Used in Arizona.

Tax Commissioner P. J. Miller, who was appointed by Governor Hunt as one of the representatives from Ari- zona to the National Tax Conference at Buffalo, N. Y, returned to Phoe-
 ix a day or two ago. MT. Miller re- ports that the conference was a de- cided success, about 250 delegates be-
 ing present, representing every state
 in the union with the exception of New Mexico. Every state tax com mission, many city tax commissions and a great many colleges and insti-
 tutiOns of education and research
 were represented. Three day and two night sessions were held and over
 twenty papers, discussing many tax ation problems, were read Informal discussions of five minutes for each speaker were allowed.
 The report of the committee on mines and mining, written by C. M
 Zander of the Arizona Tax commis- sion, was at direct variance with the
 paper presented by Commissioner P. J. Miller, who represented the ma
 jority of the Arizona commission. After both papers had been read and discussed, a motion was carried au- thorizing the executive committee to discontinue the committee on mines 
 and mining. or to change the per sonnel of the present committee if it was decided to continue such a committee for further research on the question of mines and mining. As Commissioner Millers paperread at the conference, was in line with the action of the last state legisla- ture and the present mine tax law, which rsased the assessed value of all Arizona mining property from $42, 145.084.49 in 1912 to SAC, ASS, ,64S. 30 in 1913, we print herewith for the benefit of our readers the address in full:

Major John N. Merrill of Maine is Appointed to Or ganize and Command a Force of 1000 Gendarmes at Shiraz, Persia
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The appoint ment Of Major John N. Merrill, Jr., Of SkOwhegan, Maine, to organize and command a force of 1000 gendarmes at Shiraz, Persia, for the governor general of Ears to be independent of the Swedish gendarmerie but to co- operate with it when required, is a distinct victory for American meth ods and for that young American officer.
 Major Merrill, who is only a little over thirty years of age went to Persia with Morgan shuster when that gentleman was appointed to reor- ganize the finances of the country. When Shuster left, Major Merrill was the only one of his American staff to remain. His force was incorpor- ated in the regular gendarmerie but he was given little or nothing to do Now he is practically given charge cf that portion of southern Persia which has a worse reputation than probably any country in the world The district is overrun with outlaws and the British government within whose sphere of influence it is in cluded. long ago gave up the attempt to police it.
 There is no reason though why Major Merrill should not succeed where older men have failed. He has had thoroughly good training in running down outlaws. As a young man he went to West Point but failed to qualify in mathematics. He was determined, however, to be 2 soldier and enlisted as a private in the Cni>J States army. In the course of time he went to the Phil lppine Islands with his regiment. There he did the ordinary round of soldering until his unusual uuaIi-

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 9.-Govern- ment officials, foreign residents and the people of Mexico realize that the relations between this country and the United States are strained almost to the point of war and there is much discussion as to what Wash ington will do tomorrow. John Lind, who represents the president of the United States is ignorant of the in tentions of his chief.
 If Huerta is anxious regarding what may develop he does not betray it. Although he sent to the diploma tic representatives of the foreign nations a note which in effect is defiance of Washington he was con spicuous in the cafes about town long after midnight and indulged to- day in relaxation in company with military friends.
 In a formal statement to the di- plomats Huerta said it was foreseen that the recent elections will annul the elections. The new elections will be called and he will continue the program of pacification.
 More uneasiness is apparent at the American embassy than at the national palace At the palace the opinion is freely expressed, not in frequently accompanied by sneers that the United States will never intervene in Mexico.
 Lind is fully cognizant of the deli cate situation. He affects keen in terest in word from President Will son and Secretary Bryan but today he received only assurances that the president is interested in certain de- velopments and requests that he con- tinue his observations. At the Amer ican embassy it was remarked it is logical that Washington will perhaps tomorrow furnish vital developments in the relations between the two countries. This assumption is based on the Washington note to Huerta, in which Huerta is assured that re- fusal to comply with the American demands will result in President Will sons applying to congress for power to use sterner methods and a threat to place a time limit on Huerta's conference.
 It is considered that Huerta's open note to the diplomats makes it impOS- sible for Washington to longer with hold the exact character of Huerta's reply which was made last week, and that this publicity will make some more definite steps necessary immedi- ately. Opinion in Mexico is widely divergent as to what WashingtOns at titude will be. In some quarters it is thought that Wilson may recommend neither intervention nor direct assist ance of the rebels by means of recOg- milton of their belligerency, but that he may issue a note to the powers, setting forth that hereafter the United States will regard Mexico as a non existing nation and repudiate all her acts. Of these three courses the Mexican off cials most fear, perhaps. the latter two, realizing that either will materially strengthen the rebel cause.
 Intervention, it is believed by the majority in the capital, foreigners as well as Mexicans, would be much more merciful and humane as a method of restoring order. This argument is

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 9-Pre- sident Huerta at midnight issued a formal statement to the di- plOmats saying it is now fore seen that the recent elections null and void on account of too few precincts having participated in the voting and that therefore when congress convenes it na- turally will annul the elections. Huerta explains that his pro- gram then will be to call for new elections He will in the meantime continue his program of pacificatiOn.
