Taxation of Transient Herds.

Taxation of Transient Herds.
At a meeting of owners of
transient herds of sheep held in
the office of the State Tax Com
mission at Phoenix ON April 5th,
thirty prominent wool growers
unanimously passed the follow
ing resolution:
We, the undersigned owners
of transient herds of sheep, being
notified that the State Tax Com
mission intends to enforce the
making of affidavits by such
sheepmen in the State, and after
due consideration and investiga-
tion of the whole subject, during
which it was ascertained that a
large number of affidavits have
not been made, through one
cause or another, and being in
formed by the Tax Commission
that upon the making of afidavits
bv the sheepmen the Commission
will enforce the distribution of
the taxes to the counties entitled
thereto by the several county
treasurers charged with the re-
sponsibility of making the distri-
button, do each and all of US
express our willingness and in
tention of making the affidavits
as required by law and our entire
approval of the action of the Tax
Commission in its efforts to solve
this problem.
During the conference held in
January with the County Asses
sors it was brought to the atten-
tion of the Tax Commission that
Maricopa, Pinal and Yavapai
Counties were not receiving their
just proportion of transient herd
taxes.
The law provides that owners
of transient herds shall, when
paying their taxes, make affidavit
showing the number of head of
livestock and the period such
livestock have ranged during the
calender year in the different
counties. The County Treasurer
is then required to Immediately
transmit copy of the affidavit and
the taxes belonging to other
counties to the State Treasurer,
who, in turn, properly apportions
the money so collected to the
counties entitled thereto.
The Tax Commission has un-
dertaken to see that these laws
are strictly enforced and an equit-
able distribution made of the
taxes collected, and with this in
view issued a call for the above
mentioned meeting.

WHICH WAY?

~ HE automobile industry claims it now rivals the railroads and
the steel business IS an index OF prosperity.
Therefore persons interested in prosperity-even from
positions once or twice remoyed-can get a first rate line IN it BY
going this week to the Automobile Show, which, needless to say, New
York welcomes as the biggest apd best to date.
One billion lightweight million twcnty-eight thousand two hun
dred and seventy-three dollars the country spent for motor vehicles
last year, 1921 ,S7s,ooO Of which went for passenger cars. The total
output Of all classes Of cars reached l,Gl7, 70S, an increase OF so per
Cent. over the S92, 6ls turned out in 1915.
Nobody has to be reminded these days what the automobile has
done for pretty much every class in the community, including the
farmer and his family who have forgotten what isolation and lone
illness mean. Nobody needs to be told what il has done toward saving
time, multiplying facilities for business, widening recreation areas
and improving roads.
The automobile is accepted with cheers. What a lot Of people
would like to know now is how cheap is it going to ge1 Some makes
are already down to figures that look fairly reasonable. Will it ever
be possible to keep a motor car for less than it used to cost to keep a
horse and buggy Will as many people be convinced that they can
afford the one as were formerly persuaded they must have the other
two?
For a long time bicycles were sold at prices around 800 and
over. The time came when some of the best could be had for $50.
nypewriters have shown a similar tendency. Sewing machines earlier
went through n course Of progressive chcapening.
Will it be the same, relatively, with automobile prices? Will
they move further to meet incomes, d must the latter 20 all the way
and more?

STEEL PATRIOTS.

IT NOW appears that the British ordnance firm of Hadields, Lin
tied, which offers to supply the United States Navy with Ia and
. 16 inch projectles at figures from $li4 to 1927 less per shell
than the prices which American companies proposed to exact, can
back up its bid with the ratification OF the British Government. Not
only can Hsdfelds promise delivery in half the time demanded by
American concerns, but it can get to work on the contracts at once.
The British Navy has an adequate surplus Of shells OF these sizes and
kinds.
1t is to be hoped 10 part Of the lesson will be lost on American
steel manufacturers, who, unaware of foreign competition among the
bids, thought this an opportune time to squeeze war profits out of
their own Government.
This is not the first occasion upon which foreign bidding has
saved Uncle Sam from being mulcted by steel corporations that
prosper under his protection. A statement from Mr.. II. A. ellis,
the Washington representative of Hadfeld's, recalls that in January,
1914, several foreign firms, including his own, bid on a shell contract
for the United States Navy.
But the American manufacturers. knowing that foreign
competition had been Invited. cut prices from 1856 a low a
s3iS for 14inch projectnes, and the Navy Department claimed
to have saved a million dollars through our competition"
BY some singular confederation OF circumstance the Bethlehem
Steel Company notified the Navy Department. last Friday that it will
cut 10 per cent. of the prices it quoted recently for steel forgings
and castings for the new battle cruisers called for in the Naval Ex.
pansion Bill.
Can American steel manufacturers be startled into patriotism
only by the shock Of dsconcerting bids from abroad?
