Dow is the commander, who in the Irish Sea early in 1915 raised over his ship, the Lusitanis, the stars and stripes.

In the Irish Sea on one of her last trips, he saved the Lusitania and in the Aegan sea last fall the Mauritania.

RATE MAY
. Be CUT TO 40 CENTS
Commissioner lander Declares Large
Reduction May Be Expected

That the state tax rate will be
greatly reduced this year and may go
as low as 40 cents, is the prediction
made by C. NJ. lander, state tax
commissioner, who was here to con-
fer with the board of Supervisors who
we're in session as board of equali-
zation. Mr.. lander explains that the
reduction in the amount of money to
be raised this year is due to the fact
that extraordinary expenses such as
legislative cost, new buildings, ETC.. 4,
will not be collected in one year as
was the case last summer, but will be
divided over two years.
Increased valuations will also be a
factor in the reduction of the tax rate
Mr.. lander believes the assessed val
uation of ella county will be in
creased from forty millions to about
sixty millions.
While the mining companies will
bear the brunt of this increase they
will not make complaint because of
their increased production and the un-
precedented rise in prices of metals, -
he said.

.L|0UOR TRAFFIC
STILL BOTTLED Up

PRESCOTT, June 3-F'rom official
sources of the S. F. P. & P. Railway
company, in this city, it was an
nounced yesterday that reports en-
anating from Southern Arizona to the
effect that all railroads entering the
srate are to receive liquor shipments
consigned for personal use" are I'M
founded and misleading, so far as this
load is to be considered
An attache of the freight and pass
eD2er department said yesterday:
Under no conditions whatever will
any shipments of liquor be received in
lie manner that is being given wide
publicity at present. Not until the
federal court at Topeka, Kan, hands
down its decision in the mandamus
proceedings instituted by the Pabst
Brewing company, of Milwaukee, to
compel the A. T. & S. F. Co. to re-
ceive shipments of liquor consigned
for personal use, will this question be
definitely settled. Until then there
will be no liquor carried by the Santa
Fe. We are not going to receive
liquor shipments until legally author
i. ed to do so by the higher court that
is to hear the issues involved at an
early date"
