Assessors Pass Upon
 Important Matters

PHOENIX. Jan. l3 Methods of listing and determining the valuation Of all classes of property on the asses ent roll were discussed yesterday when the couuty assessors of the state met in conference with the state tax c mmission. The conference, which is being held at the Adams hotel. will be (, nt inued today.
 The meeting yesterday began with discussion of the basis of valuation of irrigated lands both in large and smal D. ojects. and closed with the considera- ton of the method of valuing mining supplies During the day the officials took up the manner of assessing dry farming and grazing land. railroad and private land grants. and producing and producing and non producing patented | mines. Relative to the latter it was voted that the minimum assessment for lode claims for 1915 be fixed at s3G.3O per acre. or s75O per full claim. The minimum on placer claims was fixed at slO per acre. It was decided to add saw mills to the abstracts.
 Irrigated land. and water theron, when supplied by private companies. were among the matters left to asses sors to determine. although in this as l in other cases, the commission will in- dicate the method to be employed. Private land grants were also left to county officials. no minimum rate per acre being prescribed. It was the rec ommendation of the assessors cenfer- cI.ce that railroad grant lands be clas s;tied It is expected that this work wll be done under an agreement by which the state, county and railroad c, mpany will each pay one-third of the cost
 The conference. while divided on the question of assessment of producing mines. was of the opinion that if valu- ton was based on the same basis as in 1914. tha, it would show decrease in return to the state. The session toda y will begin at 9:30 a. III.

BLAMES COPPER
KINGS FOR FUSS
Spectator Says They Wish to Sell 10
England's Enemies at In
fiated Prices

London, Jan. 1.-The Spectator
discussing the note of President Will
son concerning American commerce
advances the argument that statistics
of American exports of copper to
neutral states show that some of this
metal is being supplied to Germany
and asks:
Does President Wilson. do the
American people, expect this country
to look on unmoved while our enc.
mics are thus supplied with the
raeans OF killing our soldiers?"
The American copper interests, it
says, can sell to allied nations or to
neutrals but not those adjoining
Germany, at prices as high or high
er than before the war. 1t states,
however, that the demand OF the Am
erican copper kings" Is that they De
permitted to sell copper to England's
enemies at inflated prices, which de-
mand cannot be granted. The Spec.
tator says that Americans will re
member their own actions during lie
civil war and concludes:
Our traders claimed the conner
cial rights which, in fact If not in
name, were the rights OF supplying
/, to the enemies OF the United States
goods needed by those enemies to
continue the war. The north tern
ly refused to recognize any such
rights for neutral powers. Will any
American now stand forth and de
clare that his father was wrong
