Our War Record

Now that peace has come again Arizonans are entitled to review the states war record and to estimate the part We have played in the great struggle for democracy and justice The closest examination into the rec ords will fail to disclose anything Of which we have to be ashamed. On the contrary we will find much to be proud of; much that will prove the Baby state patriotic to the core.
 We gave generously of our young men to both army and navy and we sent many of the best of our older men in Red Cross and other forms of relief work. In proportion to our population we contributed more men to the armies of democracy than al most any other state in the Union, this owing to the fact that our pro portion for the draft was based upon our census figures and that such fig ures were entirely unjust, owing to the large proportions attained by our alien population exempted from serv- ice. It is not beside the fact to say that no state in the Union approached our record in this important direction.
 Notwithstanding this great drain on our man power, we not only maintain ed the output of copper and other metals so essential to the successful prosecution of the war, but increased that output in the fate of difficulties of every kind, including largely ad- vanced costs, heavy taxation and all the other burdens necessarily imposed by war.
 In this great achievement both la bor and capital subordinated their private interests to the public good and both are entitled to share the credit.
 We made good on every appeal that was made to our patriotism. We sub .scribed our allotments of the Liberty loans; We gave loyal support to the Red Cross, the United War Work campaign and every other department of the war work that We were asked to aid and. in Yavapai county at least, We have not been slackers in the purchase of baby bonds and thrift stamps-although this is the only county in the state that can lay claim to this last distinction.
 Our women have done their full share, and more, in the branches of Red Cross work other than the mere raising of money and, so far as the Verde district is concerned, there has never been a failure on the part of our patriotic women in doing their complete duty.
 In word, Arizona has justified her claim to perfect measure of patriot ism during the strenuous year just closed. She will not disgrace this record in the years of peace that lie before us-verde Copper News.

CATTLENEN TO ASK. LOWER VALUATIONS. ON RANGE ANIMALS.
cReview Phoenix Bureau)

PHOENIX. Ariz., Jan. 1O.-Cattle- men, through the medium of the Arizona Cattle Growers association, are organizing for the purpose of se- curing a lower valuation on livestock. An effort in this direction met with failure at the recent sessions of the States Assessors association here, and the basis of a new attempt to be launched at the next state tax con ference is now being laid.
 After a lengthy discussion, the min imum valuation of $50 per head for cattle was decided upon at the con vention of assessors. This, the stock raisers contend, is an unjust rate and out of proportion to the tax i'm posed in other industries, inasmuch as the assessment rate is based upon the high market price rather than the average. The valuation also leaves no margin for fluctuation, they claim, and works a hardship upon the owner who is compelled to dispose of his holdings without waiting for a favor able market.
 False impression.
 Due to the publication of articles dealing with the high prices that were being received for beef, the public generally has gained a false impression of the true situation, it is said. While it is true that in many instances yeaTlings have brought from $40 to $50 per head, this is the exception rather than the rule. There have been no accounts of the cattle men who have been compelled to sell their stock at prices ranging from SIG to $20 per head, nor is the increased cost of feeding and labor taken into consideration.
 The greatest objection the stOckmen have to the valuation is that it does not contemplate relief to those affect ed by the wide range of conditions. It is pointed out that an assessment of S30 would not be too high for the cattlemen Of Mohave county. where the range is F per cent better than normal. It would however. be a seri- ous burden on stock growers in Nay ajO where the range is 6S per cent below normal
 Many Ship Cattle.
 ln the southern portions of the state the cattlemen have been put to the additional expense of sending their stock to other more favored ranges to provide adequate feed. In the north the deep snow has caused and is causing serious losses in the herds. Even with a high market these stock men will make but d small margin of profit. Present indications are that the market will be low
 Unless a lower valuation can be se- cured, many of the smaller concerns will pass out of existence. it is claimed. To avert the danger which threatens the industry, the cattlemen are going to make a determined fight to secure an assessment of S20 per head or a reduction of $10 from the present rate.
 Although the tax conference will not take place until next summer, the local branch of the association is now compiling comprehensive review of the situation which will embrace all of the various phases of the industry. The figures will be complete in every detail and will constitute a statistical history of stock raising in this state. The conference will be held in either Bisbee or Douglas.

GOCH|SE ASSESSOR HEADS STATE BODY
,Review Phoenix Bureau)

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 1O.-E. A. Hughes, assessor of Cochise county, was elected president of the State Assessors association at the close of the joint session of the association and the State Tax commission today. The organization convened for the purpose of electing officers for the en- suing year and adjourned immediately after this task was accomplished.
 Other officials elected at this time were: A B. Ming of Yuma, vice-presi- dent; C. E. Gentry of Yavapai. secre- tary-treasurer; J. A. Duncan of Gila, assistant secretary The Gila man was signally hOnOred in the election as this is the first time in the history of the organization that dep uty assessor has been chosen for office.
 Committee Unchanged
 The personnel of the legislative committee was not changed. The as sessors are anxious that the measures which they will recommend to the leg islature be prepared without delay and it was deemed advisable to let the proposed legislation remain in the capable hands in which they placed it last year On this committee are: C. E. Gentry, J. T. Bone, E. A. Hughes, Pat Ross and Charles Woolfolk
 As q fitting conclusion, the asses sors presented the retiring president, George Truman of Pinal, with an elab- crate Elks' charm handsomely en- graved The presentation speech was delivered by N. O. Ruggles of MOhave, one of the new members
 The conference of the association with the tax commission came to an end after a very brief meeting this morning. The same minimum valua- tions as prevailed last year on all classes of property were recommend ed to remain the same. lt was the opinion of both bodies that conditions at this time were too unsettled to formulate intelligent reforms, and that if changes become necessary they can be better attended to al the state tax conference which is to convene in August.

DID MUCH BUSINESS
Law Makers at Legislature Filled q
 Large Number of Books.

Little Rock, Nov. 14-.SpeciaD - One of the evidences of the tremendous amount of law enacted this year by the Arkansas Legislature, is the quan- ttty of books that are being shipped to the various counties by the Secretary of State. Under the law, each county official and each justice of the peace in the state is entitled to a set of the acts. The acts of the regular session made four big volumes, and those of the extra session will probably make two. The books are being put up in big boxes of uniform size, weighing 400 pounds each, and from one to three boxes is required for each county in the state. There are about 3200 coun- ty officials and justicies of the peace in the state The acts cost the state $7.50 set, which means that it will cost s25 OOO to furnish the free sets of Acts required by law, not including the acts of the recent extra session.

HIGHER RAILWAY RATES
 ARE VERY LIKELY SOON
May Apply for Advance Within Sixty Days of Lines Being Restored to
 Private Ownership.

1 Washington, Nov. 12.-Under perma- nent railroad legislation formally re- 1 ported to the House today by Chairman ! Esch of the Interstate Commerce Com mittee. the railroads must make ap- plicaton to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general increase of rates within 50 days after their return to private operation January l.
 The House Committee in it's report said it did not attempt to adopt new and untried plans, but had built on foundation already in existence, Gov ernment ownership was rejected, It was said because of the president s announced intention to return the lines to private operation at the end of the year, the desire for such action by the carriers and the widespread demand among the people that federal control cease as soon as suitable legislation could be enacted.
 The Plumb plan also was rejected,
 
 the report said, because it's provisions were 50 radical and the principles so foreign to the fundamental princl- ples of our government that it was considered by the committee as lm- possible.
 Opposing creation of a transporta- tion board are proposed III the senate measure, the report said such an or ganization, to advise the Interstate Commerce Commission would be needless and expensive burden, mere subject to political influence than i'll the Interstate Commerce Commission Referring to the labor provision of the House bill, creating boards for the voluntary arbitration of disputes, De- tween employees and carriers, the re- nort declared fulfillment of wage con. tracts by both carriers and workers was essential
 The report of Chairman CummlhS of the Senate Interstate commerce Commission S bill also was presented today. Anti-strike provisions of the measure are defended.
 Both strikes and lockouts must cease" says the report lhey can m longer be tolerated in free coun- try The government must settle the strikes btween railway managers and employees
 Senator Cummins said the labor ad- iustment boards proposed would pro vide complete, impartial justice to both railway corporations and employ as and to the public as we'll,
 Tn what he termed "a word to the unions." Senator Cummins commenting on leaders opposition to the antl-strlke o1ausas said it was evident the strike weapon had proven it's failure ana that in the operation of the proposed lapof tribunals, the unions could .pe more effective in securing justice than they ever were through the strike,
 Senator Cummins said government ownership had been rejected generaily as inadvisable, adding that increased federal regulation of competitive re- gional transportation systems was lle best alternative.
 The report says the government s ,oss during the two years operation of the roads would be about 9oVo'-oV0' O0a

He said the weapon Price at Arkansas City several years ago. When asked about the killing of Adkins Ware he said he knew that a white man had been killed, but he did not know who the man was.
 Ware denied tha he had been as signed a victim for October 6, wheE several white planters, business men and plantation managers were to have been killed if they refused to allow the negro tenants soc a pound for their cotton This killing of white men was to have been the signal for a general massacre ol white people The negro denied any knowledge of such a list of white men.
