Corporation Commission
 Is Aalways Very Busy

The celebrated intermountain rate case was reopened at Chicago on No
 Vembcr 20 and continued at Salt Lake
 City San Francisco and Spokane. This commission was represented by Chair
 man Jones and Auditor Sangster. The
 general question of rates from the east
 to Arizona and other intermountain
 states, has been before the federal
 commission, the congress of the United
 States and various courts for the past
 ten years. Recently the interstate
 commerce commission found that water
 competition between the Atlantic sea-
 board and the Pacific coast has been so
 reduced as to remove, the force that the transcontinental railroads had heretofore relied upon to justify lower
 rates to the Pacific coast than to in termountain points. Thereupon the railroads, instead of reducing the rates to Arizona to the basis of the coast rates, increased the coast rates generally, such increases amounting to as high as our hundred per cent. Increases were also sought
 to be made at intermediate points. l A vigorous protest was filed by the | shippers of the entire United States, | resulting in the Washington commits sion holding up the proposed advances,
 which advances were later voluntarily 1 cancelled by carriers.
 l In the meantime, Reno, SpOliant and ] Arizona filed formal petitions with the interstate commerce commission in ef- | feet demanding that the long and short l have provisions of the law be strictly l enforced.
 | These hearings attracted nationwide interest. Numerous exhibits were pre- pared and introduced by this commits

taxation entirely. and though sev- eral spasmodic efforts were made tU tax il, none ever succeeded. At the present time there is collected from this source more than $25,000.00 an nually.
 TO the tax commission alone be- longs the entire credit for placing this class of property upon the as- sessment rolls of the state and the drafting of the law making same possible. When this is taken into conideration, it will be seen at a glance that through this item alone, the tax commission is far more than self-sustaining, and in reality pro duces about SS,00000 more than 1t costs each year. Ordinarily it would not be necessary to mention such all outstanding fact as this, as the com mission feels that it's real value to the citizens of Arizona has been shown in many other phases of it's activity.

points within the state, at the hearing March I to g. 1916, the carriers were represented by counsel and had flled the additional data ordered. The iS- sues in this case, have been exhaustive ly and ably represented.
 The record supports the obvious fact
 that our miximum rate per mlle ap-
 plicable to all railroads in the state would neither be just nor reasonable.
 In point of age, Arizona is the youngest
 state in the union; it is in the early process of development. Thetopog- raphy and and physical characteristics of the state are such the destiny of
 traffic and operating conditions of the railroads vary so greatly, that a straight passenger rate could not fair ly be uniformaly applied in Arizona, as has been done by legislatures or | commisons of other states more fully developed and of even topography. Our conclusions must be based upon all of the facts of record and our order will 1 be directed severally to the various carriers requiring departure from eX- l isting rates only when such departure appears to be wholly just and reason | able.

The record of the Arizona regiment in federal service is the equal, if not better. than any of the national guard reaiments. Under the hardshipS of doing a duty they never expected to be caled upon to perform. that of do. ing police duty for the regular army, they played the game like men. Both officers and men were taken from their families and civil occupations with only twenty-four hours notice, and many of them have lost their positions They were not called upon to defend their country and it is no- to be expected that their services wi1 be appreciated by the majority of our people. Their only reward will he theiF own knowledge of having keot their oath to the state and the United States, and of a distasteful duty woll performed. Men have been elected president of the United States for giving less service and doing less dirty than our men have done.
 The maintenance expense of this denaltment has been less during the past year than fer any year since w. have been a state. This office claims no credit for that record, since it was due to the calling of our troops into federal service, which reduced our expenses bv the amounts needed for the annual encampment The con- stunt cudeavor il, this department has heen to see that the state funds were not wasted that for every dol lar spent the state received the value Of q dollar in return, whether in Sorvices or supplies.

government Fortunately, in this state we have q military code that has already provided for these changes,
 including the appointment of the nee essary staff officers required by the federal authorities. The only re- qurement that the state is not pre-
 pared to meet, is that of an adequat- arsenal building to house the federal
 property. and the next legislature will
 be asked to care for this require
 ment
 The excellent record made by the
 national guard of Arizona during the
 past year has been due to the loyaltF
 of most of the officers and men to their organization and superior of ficers. Particularly in military or ganizations, loyalty is the first re quirement. We have made somr changes in officers that have tended to increase the efficiency of the or ganization. practically all of them on the advise of the sneral staff. No particular officer of our forces can claim particular credit for the efficiency of our organization The credit is due to all of the officers anu | men alike, who nave worked hard iii | order that they might be a credit to themselves and their state. Since the officers have been in federal ser vice they appreciate more than ever l the difficulties that their adjutan. l general has had in maintaining all | efficient organization. and at the
 same time avoiding differences with l the federal authorities. The mobiliza | tions has given us not only well
 trained and disciplined organization but has made of our organization q

Tax Commission Has
 Solved Mine Question

The outstanding feature of the worK of the tax commission dnring the past year has been the solving by it of the great problem of mine taxa ton in Arizona. Years of experience, with special laws for the taxation of this class of property has only serv- ed to demonstrate to the people of this state, the futility of attempting to eQualiZe the taxes paid by pro- ducing mines with other classes of property through the operation of special laws
 County assessors, boards of super visorS, as well as every legislature for the past twenty years have at tempted to solve this difficult prob lem, only to find themselves in- volved in innumerable law suits and compromises, until the year 1915. After a most strenuous fight in th. legislature which lasted through three sessions, to the exclusion of prac- ticallr all other business. adjournment was finally taken. and for the first time in the history of the state, the assessment and taxation of the big producing mines was placed in the hands of a centralized assessing body to be taxed the same as other classes of property.
 That the commission has solved
 
 on every hand and especially is this. statement borne out from the records Of the commission which show that only three minor complaints were made to the state board of euualiza- ton of mine assessments made on producing mines. although the total valuation of this class of property was raised nearly sixty millions of dollars and the total per cent of ali taxes paid by it increased to more than A per cent.
 The method used by the commits sion in arriving at it's final valua- tions IS fully explained and discussed Tn the annual report of the commits sion now in course of preparation.
 Another prominent feature of tn. work of the commission has been the taxation Of private car lines thtil the creation of the tax commits sion this class of property escaped
