FEAR TOO MANY COWBOYS HAVE
 BEEN DRAF TED

That an army travels on it's stom- ach and that the cattlemen are largely responsible for the well-keeping of that stomach, was a statement made yesterday by M. B. Hazeltine, banker of Prescott, representing cattle inter- ests before the district military board. HaZeltine and a number of other cat tlemen appeared before the board to complain that so many men had been drafted from their industry that they feared the industry would be seriously injured if some of the men were not exempted from military duty
 It was proposed by Hazeltine and his committee that a committee be named to aid the board in an advisory capacity, in passing upon exemption claims of men in the cattle business
 This plan met with the approval of the board and the cattlemen were in structed to appoint such a committed This committee as explained, will comprise men from all over the dis trict familiar with range conditions and cattle conditions and who will know how to deal with the various claims coming before the board from cattlemen.
 The conditions of the range were different in the several sections of the state and it was explained by Hazel tine that it would be impossible to dispense with the large number of men drafted from the industry. He said that it was both employers and em- ployes who were affected; that it was not a selfish motive on the part of the cattlemen, as many of them were anxious to go into the service, but he felt the industry in Arizona would be seriously injured; that cattle would actually perish for lack of care and that in consequence the food supply of the country would be just that much shortened
 Chairman J. L. B. Alexander of the district board and the other members agreed that such a committee as sug- gested by the cattlemen would be ap- propriate HaZeltine said that abso- lute fairness to all was the motive of the cattlemen in coming before the board and that the committee to be appointed by them would see that fair play is given in every way by it.
 The district board heard a number of cases yesterday. These were up on appeal from the local boards on the grounds of dependents or agriculture. Claimants were closely questioned by the board, and where their claims were justified such claims were allowed.

He closed with a strong expression in favor of the establishment of a Greek republic

nOunced by Senator Townsend, who declared there are thousands of ar ticles that could have been taxed to bring in the same revenues without imposing such hardships. He also said the proposed five per cent excess income tax on publishers was unjusti- liable and that in some quarters it was said to be penalty.
 This is only a temporary war meas ure, he added, and will be repealed as soon as the war ends. The committee in fixing the tax rates, he said, did not take the word of the publishers re- garding their incomes, but obtained its information from the treasury depart ment He asserted the publishers profits in 1916 had been enormous, and for that reason the committee believed it could take part of the profits with out destroying them.
 The house provision, eliminated by he finance committee, taxing picture and other private post cards one cent, Senator Shoot declared would have resulted in a $10,O00,00O revenue loss by decreased use of cards.
 As to the publishers tax. Senator McCumber said the publishers had been built up under the governments promise in 1870 of reduced mail rates to enlighten the public.
 "They have been encouraged by our laws and shall we now during the war, strike death to any business that we can keep going?' he asked.
 We. want to get at the publishers making enormous profits by the spe- cial income tax and the small postage increase will not ruin any publisher"
