STATE TAX LEVY MAY ALSODEPEND UPON
 SUPREME COURT
Just What Amount 1t Will Be Necces- sary to Raise for State Purposes in Doubt Because of Veto of Appropri- ation Bill By Governor Hunt

PHOENIX, July 27.-DetermiHatio of the state tax levy and the conse- quent collection of taxes may be held up pending decision in the appro- tpriation bill matter. This became known yesterday when it was an- nounced that in all probability there would be no decision of the yexing question until September.
 Although application was filed by Jesse Boyce for a writ of mandamus against State Auditor Callaghan, it Fdence in the case is before the court. Under the law the auditor will be allowed ten days in which to answer and show cause why the writ should not be issued. Then the applicant may also be allowed a period of several days in which to reply to the defendants answer, the exact 1 length of such time to be fixed by the court. If only week is allowed | for filing @ reply to Callaghan's an- sweF, it will be August 10 before the case is submitted, and on that date the court will leave for the annual summer vacation, not to return until 1 September 1.
 The state board of equalization will meet on August 2, following the annual tax conference to make any changes necessary in the assessed valuation, and to fix the state tax levy. But in view of the fact that the amount to be raised will pEob- ably not be settled then, it is not considered that the board could make much headway toward fiXiRg the levy Any action 1t might take might be rendered void by court decision just before the taxes became due and throw the entire fiscal mechanism of the state into even greater confusion.
 Just what the board of equaliZa- tion will do if there Is no deeision in the appropriation muddle in August is not known. Chairman Charles R. Howe, of the tax commission, stated yesterday that the members had been expecting an early decision and had even discussed the possibility of the matter going over until fall. In case such a thing should happen the course to be adopted would have to be de termined.
 Under the new law providing for the semi-annual payment of taxes the first installment is due September 15, and becomes delinquent November 15.

FOREST ROAD WILL RE ENDORSED. BY
 PUBLIC MEETING
President of Chamber of Commerce Calls Special Meeting to Be Held at Clifton Hotel on Monday Night to Device Ways and Means For Cooperation Between Forestry De- partment and Board of sslpervis- ere

That the public spirited citizens of Clifton and vicinity are thoroughly awake to the immense benefit to be derived from the construction @ g highway between Clifton and the southern boundary of the Apache Ma tional Forest, was realized this week when it became known that the Sec retary of the Agriculture and the Chief Forester of the United States were favorable to a plan having for it's purpose appropriations by con gress at it's next session for the con- struction of highways within the
 National Forests.
 Special correspondence received by The Copper Era this week from
 Washington, D. C., says:
 ''The Secretary of Agriculture's s
 plan to anticipate future receipts
 from the national forests by securing
 an advance of money from Congress for the construction of roads, trails, bridges, and other public works would stimulate agricultural development and would relieve many struggling communities from their present bur dens of taxation says an article con- tributed by the Chief of the Forest Service to the Department of Agri- culture Year Book, just issued. Tsais policy, says the article, would ap- ply exclusively in those counties where there is considerable areA of national forest land so located that
 the forest resources can not now marketed, although later they Will yield a large revenue. It would fully meet the local difficulties arising from the fact that tue national for ests are not subject to taxation, would aid in the protection and development of the forest resources, and would re- move the one barrier which in a few places prevents farmers from i'm mediately enjoying the benefits of the national forests
 It is a well known fact that Sena- tors Ashurst and Smith and Represen- outlined by the Secretary of Agricul-
 ture and there is little doubt that congress can be induced to pass
 these advance appropriations, the amount to be returned to the na- tional treasury from the sale or pro ducts of the forests.
 The Apache and Datil National Forests are tributary to Clifton with
 their vast resources and the oDJect of the meeting of the Chamber Of Commerce is to appoint committee
 to present to the Board of SuperV1s- ors of Greenlee County on Tuesday a cooperative proposition on the part of the county and the Forestry department. A general invitation to the public has been extended by President Burtch to be present at the meeting
 on Monday night.

Local Federation Replies.

Clifton, Ar1Z, July 2S ,l9lo. Wiley E. Jones,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear MT. JoneS:-
 I have before me your letter which came to hand in due time and beg to make reply.
 Upon receipt of your letter I took the matter up with the local Fedora tion for their opinion as to whether it might not be best to ask for their re- lease befoBe the expiration of their term of sentence and they jumped all over me for even suggesting the mat ter. It occurs to me in about the same way. I believe the judge should be upheld in his sentences of these of lenders. You speak of discrimina- tion in the different counties, which I regard as marking the sentiment as we find it to exist. Prescott is gen. orally known throughout the state to have a very lax sentiment as regards the enforcement of this law, or per haps any other, but with us if you regard three months as severe, it is but perhaps a forerunner to what is

Wednesday, telling of the Rev. J. L.

Such was not the intention of the ar

sire to go on record as opposed to such
a union. We have always favored
the union Of churches, and believe that
eventually it viii become a fact, and
