STATE TAX SESSIONS
 ENDED IN PRESCOTT
Discussion On Cattle Valuation
 Held In Closing Hours

PRESCOTT. Aug. A-With every one feeling good and praising the gen erous hospitality of Prescott the 1n- nual state tax conference closed in the Mile High city
 The closing hour of the session was featured by an interesting discussion on cattle valuation and the presenta- ton of a resolution calling upon the conference to take a hand in the 1ong standing dispute between the state land commission and the interior de- partment relative to the opening up of 450.OOO acres of scrip land in the Indian reservations of the north. The resolution was ruled out of order by Chairman C. M. Zander, who main tained that the matter did not come within the jurisdiction of the confer once in that it had no bearing upon tax matters
 The cattle industry its divers phas- es, interesting features and profit re- suits came in for a warm three-quart- CTS of an hour debate During the hearings upon the assessment rolls Of . several counties, the average price of S2l for a head of cattle was con ceded too low and 1t was the consen- sus of opinion that the tax commis- sion, sitting as a board of equaliza- dou. would send the figure floating up- ward
 However some interesting testi- mouy offered by Inspector Ed Ste pheus of Yavapai county before the conference may change this c0nject- ure Mir. stephens has been in the cattle business for a good many years and stated that he talked from exper- fence alone. He pointed out that $2l was a fair figure for assessment Mir. Stephens also bemoaned the fact that the cattle business is fluctuatiug one and likely to be as soon graced by failure as success; that last year was one bearing a loss for Yayapai cattlemen because of the drought and that no catfemen ever knows of his exact possessions. or better still, not within 20 per cent of what he act ually possesses.
 He declared Chat oft times from 25 to % per cent of a herd was lost from various causes to be considered In the business. oncluding he declareo that when man sold a stock of eat : tie for S100O00 he was actually re- ceiyiug sfO,OO0 for his range privi leges which were comprised of gov emment lands
 Stephens advanced these arguments to show that the cattle industry was not SO much a gold mine as has been claimed Other men acquainted with the cattle business and taxes spoke along the same lines
