IMPORTANT MATTERS COMING
 BEFORE THE COMMISSION

PHOENIX, Oct. 25.-Two hearings of vast importance to the people of Arizona. will be held next month, at which the state will be represented 0y members of the Arizona Corpora tion Commission.
 The first and probably the most i'm Dortant will be the hearing of the .nter-mountain rate case to be started in Chicago on November 20, and fol lowed with hearings al Salt Lake and San Francisco.
 The inser-mountaiH case is one of the most complicated which it has been the luck of the commission to mix with in years. The general question of freight rate from inter- mountain points has been before the federal commission, congress and various courts all over the country. IL all started with the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission had discovered that water compe- tition from the east to coast points had so diminished that there was no reason for holding those rates lower than the inter-mountain rates, and consequently ordered them changed Instead Of reducing the inter-moun- ain rates to conform with the coast rates, the railroads increased the in ter-mountain rates, the increase in some cases amounting to as much as one hundred per cent.
 A vigorous protest went up from shippers all over the United States resulting in the holding up of the proposed advances. h the meantime protests had been filed in Nevada. Washington and Arizona. in shors de. manding that the long and the short haul provisions of the law be strictly enforced. The hearings to be held will be of vast importance to ship pers all over the country.

ARIZONA

(By T. s. Knoles. Buena, Ariz.)
 Let seas of troubles now be still And float away from sight, For I escaped their ceaseless roar
 in one moonshiny night; My hopes now pose on battlements Where every effort yields. And future prospects open wide
 Where Nature still appeals. There is no place on earth so dear AS Arizona now, Where you may own broad acres fine And have a horse and COW; Where evey rolling year will prove You have the proper place And lounge about in health and strength
 With smiles on your face. Where dawn brings forth a blazing And noontide with clear skies, And sunset sends it's thrilling
 beams
 With Gladness to your eyes: Where every friendly acre yields It's food for strength and wealth And everybody, everywhere, Enjoys the best of health. In gently scratching friendly soil The yields so fine and big, That when you gather in your crops You seem to act the pig. But this is Arizona's way
 She yields to your surprise. Wherever you place busy hands, You'll open up your eyes.

 RECOVER TAX MONEY

TUCSON, Oct. 25.-Alleging that they had been assessed taxes in ex. cess of the ten per cent limit on in crease from 1914 to 1915. for the sum of $4,16S.3O, the Southern Pa cific railroad company, through its attorney. filed suit yesterday for a B. 0s415 refund and interest from october 30, 1915.
 Te complaint states that the com pany was assessed s60,22s.30 for state .and county taxes in 1915, ex- elusive of school taxes. This. they alJeee. was in excess of the ten per cent limit of yearly increase fixed bx, the state law.
 The case is a test case and will at tract, attention all over the state. It is understood that the object is to determine just what powers the state tax commission has in approaching regular law on the subject. These powers granted by the constitution are quite broad and will be the basis of the action.
 The state tax commission as ap- proved budgets in other counties and 1t is said that a smiilar suit has been filed recently in Graham county.
