WILL AID L0CATORS
Hayden's Bill Will Allow Lo.
cation of Mining Claims
on Indian Lands

A bill was introduced in congress
on February 28th by Congress Carl
Hayden that is designed to do away
with the difficulties heretofore ex
perienced by those who have located
mineral claims on Indian reserya
tons, or rather who have discovered
such locations and have wished to
make entries therefor, but have
been unable to do so, owing to the
fact that the lands included were
within the boundaries of a reserva-
ton.
The bill, which is now in the hands
of the Committee on Indian Affairs,
provides that the Secretary of the
Interior may lease to any person,
firm or corporation any part of
the unallotted lands within any In
dian reservation in the State Of Ari-
IONA heretofore withdrawn from en-
try under the mining laws, for pur-
pose of mining for deposits of gold
silver, copper and other valuable
metalliferous minerals"
The locators of mining claims are
given preferential rights to such
leases and the leases shall be made
for fifty years with preferential
rights in the lessee to renewal in
ten year periods.
The lessees are required to pay to
the United States for the benefit of
the Indians, a royalty which shall
be two per centum of the gross
value of the output of the minerals
at the mine. due and payable at the
end of each month succeeding that
of the extraction of the minerals
from the mine and an annual rental,
payable at the date of such lease
and annually thereafter on the area
covered by such base, at the rate of
twenty-five cents per acre for the
first calendar year thereafter, fifty
cents per acre for the second, third,
fourth and fifth years, respectively.
and 81 90 per acre for each and
every year thereafter"
The lessee is also required to ex-
pend not less than 500 in develop
ment work annually on each claim
and the bill contains provision for
the forfeiture of the leases in the
event of non payment of rent or
non-user of rights.
1t is claimed that the passage of
this bill will open to use and devel-
opment some highly promising de-
posts which have, heretofore, been
impossible of working.

A HARD PUZZLE

Failing to pass the Binet mental
test for ten year olds, a rejected
recruit from Pittston, Pa, gave
Sergeant Frank Stubbe, of the local
United States Marine Corps recruit
ing station. a puzzle that he, him
self, could do. but which has since
caused the Marine sergeant several
sleepless nights spent in a vain en-
deavor to unravel the problem.
Here's the puzzle. There are
three houses in a row, with electric
light plant, gas plant and a water
plant in the rear of them, and the
grand central idea is to run line
underground from each plant to
each house without crossing lines or
going through house.
The mentally deficient recruit
says it can be done and does it on
paper, but after three days of IN.
awaiting effort the sergeant isn't
quite sure that the youth from
PittstOn is not trying to tell it to
the Marines.

GOOD ADVICE

called to the very able address de-
livered by Hon. Andrew KimbalI be-
fore the Class in Economics. Uni
versity of Arizona, March 22d, which
appears in this issue of The GUAR
DIAN.
Mr.. KimbaII treats his subject to
the smallest detail and advises the
people to take more active interest
in the affairs of their State and see
that the business of the State is con-
Quoted by economical methods to
cut down the heavy taxes.
Certainly, the people should take
a very active part from now on. as
they pay the bills, and they must in
sist that the government Of tins
State is administered at the least
expense.
The budget system, recommended
by Mr.. Kimball, is the best plan for
economy in the expenses of the
State government. and in the com,
ing election, the people should con-
slider their own interests as para
mount to the ambitions of any poll
tician who would seek office under
the guise of his great love for the
people.

things.
Budget System

The budget system is logically the
most effective; that is. instead of
officers running the government in
haphazzard manner, they sit down
and calculate, size up their funds
and then divide them, applying
what is necessary for each item of
expenditure under their respective
Jurisdictions. The budget, there
fore, if properly followed, is the
best plan. After it is prepared, it
must be published before final adop
ton, thus giving the taxpayers and
electors an opportunity to check up
with them. | recommend the budget
system for every form Of govern
ment. The great city of New York
handles its affairs by budget. By
this method the city authorities,
county supervisors, heads of depart
ments in State, the school board,
and all who look after the collection
and disbursement of public moneys,
do best comprehend what is actually
needed and then place the levy &C.
cordingly. and the levy should never
exceed the funds available.

Agricultural Resources

Then the necessity Of developing
the other industries, more particu-
larly the settlement on our public

agricultural values far in excess of

people to settle our lands; it would
increase taxable property and swell
the revenue, thereby tightening the
burden ON The few.

Governor Hunts announcement
of his candidacy for the nomination

How Our Assessment Roll Has

figures from some of the counties.

of $500 on each 500 valuation and

and in 1915 they have tax rate Of
$l.l43 on each 500 valuation and
an assessed value of $42, PSI ,5l3 "a.
YOU will observe that the reduction
in the tax rate is entirely out of
proportion with the increase made
in the assessed value.

was 81 80 on each 500 valuation
and an assessed value of $751;.

Introduction

| am pleased with the opportunity
of discussing with you a subject so
vital to the welfare of every citizen
of Arizona.
The indifference Of the greater
portion of the people to the steady
rise of the cost of State, makes the
situation grave one. There is a
lack Of interest upon the part Of
the average citizen shown in cigiI
affairs 1t is mistaken idea that
because he is but a small taxpayer,
or not taxpayer at all, he takes no
interest IN the affairs Of government.

Effects of High Taxation

The effect Of high taxes on the
cost of living, though not apparent
to the average citizen. is we'll under
stood by those who make a study of
cause and etfect-especialIy heads
of families, since it has been fairly
well established that the consumer
pays his pro rata of the expense of
operation. Is it not strange that
we do not stop to consider that the
rising prices are traceabie to high
taxation? Merchants are not in
business for their health; when a
consignment Of goods is marked for
shipment, the consumer pays A
price into which enters the items of
insurance, heat and lights, drayage,
freight, rent or upkeep of property,
loss or damage, and last but not
least, the HIGH RATE OF TAXATION
The same reason must apply to
other branches of trade and indus
try. So, my dear fellow citizens.
you are vitalIy interested in this
subject, whether you own property,
rent a house or board out"-the
non taxpayer does not tscape.
For this reason, ! am pleased to
appear before this intelligent class
and body of citizens today.

What Are Taxes Levied For?

Like any other business, the var
ious departments of government
must have means. The expense of
government for which funds are
collected in different ways. is gen
orally classified under the headings,
General Fund.-" School Fund, "
Road Fund, " Salary of Officers
Fund" Interest on Bonds" etc.
The General Fund" of course, is
more or less elastic, as it seems
quite necessary for officers to have
kind of miscellaneous place to put
THINGS.

years ago. There have been interrup-

only such Interruptions as either could
not be foreseen or which are necessary
to safeguard life. Any others must be

first of the week that Congressman
Taylor had succeeded in obtaining. n

irrigation system for Hunter mesa.
While this paper would be mighty
glad to have such a valuable bit of

of the opinion that Uncle Sam g money
could be spent for. no better purpose,
the report is probably entirely withous
authentication. It may be stated, how
ever, that Mr.. Taylor has the PROPOSE
tion in mind, and If the time ever
comes when the government undertakes
to furnish water for this splendid tract
