MANY YSENATORS ID SPEAK UPON
 TOLLS REPEAL
Advocates of the Bill Are Hopeful the Debate Will Soon Close and the Measure Pass by a Safe Majority
r.ssorr.rrn pREss p1spArcH1

WASHINGTON, May 16-Although many senators are yet to speak on the bill for the repeal of the ex- emption clause of the Panama canal act, Senator Kern. majority leader, is hopeful of the debate closing in an other week and vote being taken by May 25.
 Advocates of the bill say they expect to pass the bill by a safe majority, but those opposed are con fldent that they will surprise the ad- ministration leaders before the bill is voted on, and that there are many amendments which will be offered and will have to be disposed of. It is generally believed the bill cannot be passed exactly as it came from the house. Senators who lead the repeal fight are expected to con- centrate their efforts on the amend ment offered by Simmons and adopt cd bv the interoceanic canal commit tee, which declares the United States 1 in repeating the exemption claus valves no right over the canal.
 Walsh closed the debate for tn week with d speech against the re l peal He was secretary of the sub
 committee at the Baltimore conven
 ton which framed the demoerati i platform. He repudiated as un | founded any suggestion that tn
 tolls plank was inserted surrepti tiously, and said Bryan was co
 worker on the platform and had ful knowledge of the plank. and said l is significant that Attorney Genera McReynolds has expressed no opin ion regarding the tolls.
 Walsh, who was the eighth senate
 to speak on tolls during the week
 detailed the history of the toll plank in the Baltimore platform
 After relating how it was considere lby the committee headed b Bryan, then by another sub commit tee over the first subcommittee an

 CHICAGO, May 16.-Twenty-four labor leaders sentenced in the "dy- namiting cases" who are at liberty under bonds, have but three weeks more of liberty. The United States circuit court of appeals ordered them to surrender on June 6 to the war den of the federal prison at Leaven- worth or be taken to the peniten- tiary from Chicago on that day. The crder will affect only nineteen of the twenty -four. five having returned voluntarily after new trial was de- nied them.
 Only pardon from the president could now save the men from serv- ing their sentences. The court took under advisement the cases of Olaf Tveitmoe, of San Francisco; Richard Houlihan, of Chicago, and William Bernhardt, of Cincinnati, who were granted new trials.
 Elijah Zoline, counsel for the de fendants, said he presented the pres {, ident with a petition carrying nearly 500,000 signatures, in an effort to save the men from prison sentences 1 which range from one to six years. ! The five who voluntarily returned to Leavenworth are Murray Pennell of Springfield Ill.,. Frank Webb, of 1 New York: Philip Coonley, of New i Orleans; John Butler, of Buffalo. and 1 Edward Smythe, of Peoria.
 In the cases of Tveitmoe, Houli han and Bernhardt, arguments were heard today on the governments pc | tition for a rehearing and sustain ment of the lower courts conviction l Counsel for them is hopeful tho ! order granting new trial will re- main in effect

 From all sources of information, the property owners of Arizona in the cities and towns, affected by the Somers sys- tenn assessment, have expressed satis- faction with the values and the meth ods employed to obtain them. The fact that all the property owners In each community were called to participate in the fixing of the values, which served as a base for computing the val ues of the real estate. and that in this way equalization of values was brought about prior to the assessment being levied, has pleased all concerned and | the expressions of approval for the ef- | ficient manner in which the state tax commission the assessors and the Som CTS system land valuation experts have handled the work, lead to the conclus- | ion that there will be practically no protest of the values placed for this years assessment.
 l Land values have been computed on the basis of street unit values, placed on the frontage in each block in each i of the cities valued this year, these unit values having been discussed and approved by committees of property owners and at public meetings, at which all the property owners in a given district were asked to participate Following the approval of these street units, the land values for each individual lot or ownership were scien- tifically completed through the use o1 the Somers system formula, which is the result of twenty years of investiga. tion into the factors creating lanf values in cities, and which have beer applied with satisfaction to the tax payers in thirty-One American cities III
 to the present time.
 Tax Commissioners Zander, Mile and Howe made q careful investigation into the work of the Somers system
 prior to the installation of the servic'
 in Arizona, and the result of their ac
 ton in ordering the assessment of lan' values for this year to be made unde
 this system puts Arizona in the fore most rank among the states of tn union for an equitable distribution o land values for assessment purposes. It is the intention of the members 0 , the state tax commission to continu
 the good work and have the Somer f system of realty equalization installe
 in the other cities and towns of Arizo 7 na for the next years assessment. , At the recent meeting of the execu

Work of Manufacturers Appraisal Company Un- der Contract With Tax Commission and City Has Been Completed
SATISFACTION IS
 QUITE GENERAL
While Valuations Have Been Increased There is Assur- ance the Burden Ha S Been More Evenly Dis tributed Than Before

The fruits of the Somers system of land valuation are already maturing and are justifying the judgment of the Maricopa County Non Partisan Tax payers league through whose efforts a representative of the Manufacturers Appraisal company of Cleveland. Ohio. was brought here more than year ago. The Somers system will increase the valuation in Phoenix from $13,620,0 900 in 1913 to $17,057 900 this year. a valua-
 tion really fixed by the property own CTS themselves. This valuation after a careful examination by the city com mission has been accepted as the tru- est expression of relative land values possible to obtain. What has been ac- cOmplished is due to the clean handed work of William Young and James $. Stafford, experts of the appraisal com pany.
 The appraisal of land values in the seven principal cities of Arizona. under the Somers system has been completed for the current years tax assessment and as a result of this work, the tax burden on realty will be more equit- ably distributed than ever before in the history of this state.
 The relative value of the lands in each of the seven cities and towns, in which the Somers system has been in stalled, under the direction of the state tax commission this year, tells in no uncertain terms of the real importance of the several communities in the life of the commonwealth.
 So far as it is possible for human Judgment to make it. these land values are relatively correct as to the import ance of the communities and their po- sition in the life of the state. The seven cities and towns appraised under the Somers system are as follows: Phoenix. Tucson. Douglas, Bisbee. Globe Prescott and Miami. The valua- tion Of lands in them appraised at pub- lie assessment and equaliZed prior to the assessment levy. are as follows:
