CARS COME
 HIGH IN THIS STATE

The state tax commission yesterday finished placing the valuations on the rolling stock of the private car con- panies operating in Arizona. All com panies sending private cars across the state are forced to pay taxes on their property.
 The heaviest individual taxpayer is the Pullman company whose property crossing and recrossing the state is valued at $977, ,97480 Of the thirty-six other companies, several rarely send their cars across the state, and in some instances they will be assessed on a fraction of a car, caused by the fact that the valuation is placed on car mileage rather than on the car itself.
 The company having the next highest valuation is the Pacific Fruit Express company of San Francisco whose property is valued at $485,024 while the Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch company. another heavy fruit shipper, has its property valued at SPIT, ,366.30. The property of the Union Tank line of New York is valued at $43, 10000, that of the Swift Refrigerator Trans portation company at s4,40O and that of the Associated Oil company at s6O,O ,OOO.
 Several of the private car companies are let off with light valuation, some of them being $100. and quite a number less than s200.

HUGH MARSHALL RET|RES FRON|
 PIX. NATIONAL

Il. D. Marshall, cashier of the Phoe nix National Bank returned yesterday morning from his vacation during which he attended the convention of the American Bankers Association held in Kansas City last week. He says that more than 4400 bankers were reg istered at the convention and that the meeting was successful in every partic- ular. Every state in the union was rep resented. as was Alaska and the Phil ippines.
 The bankers without exception re- ported their sections of the country to be In excellent condition and the pros poets for the future good. Figures were read showing the United States to be Tn the most prosperous condition in it's history and the cooperation of bankers and businessmen was urged to enable It to take it's place as a financial world power.
 Continuing MT. Marshall said: Some SIX or eight months ago 1 decided to discontinue my participation in the banking business as an active officer and l rendered my resignation as cash fer at that time. My reason for so do- ing was to give me an opportunity to have more time outside to look after other interests. Immediately we began iOoNIilS diOuHu IOT d SuildDlt Hldu lO succeed me as cashier and we finally decided upon MT w. H. Thompson of the National Bank of California of Los Angeles. MT. Thompson has just moved to Phoenix with his family but at present will occupy no official posi- tion. He will spend the next few months in becoming acquainted with the people of the Salt River Valley. He will be elected cashier at the an nual meeting in January.
 MT. Thompson leaves an excellent position in California to cast his lot in Arizona. He brings with him the ex- perience gained through years of sue cessful banking. l feel that Phoenix is fortunate in securing as a permanent resident MT. Thompson and his charm ing family. 1 expect to retain my stock interest in the bank and, of course, to continue my residence in Phoenix. The more I see of other places, the better satisfied I am here

casual observer, it is merely a mass of gaudy words. It is not even polite, for in one place. it refers to the late lamented senate bill g, as thor oughly undemocIatic measure-but in the same paragraph, it says that the act was passed by both houses of thoroughly democratic legislature.
 TLe absence of any reference to Mexico is conspicuous one in these days and places where the Mexican question is live throbbing one. Possibly in this respect however, the democratic platform was extremely pclltic. for scarcely any reference could be made to democratic handling of the Mexican situation, that would reflect credit on democratic business, diplomatic and military methods.
