LAND BOARD MOVES
 AGAINST TAXES FOR SOLDIER SETTLEMENT

The state land board, at it's regular meeting, passed a resolution by unani- nous vote requesting the state board of equalization not to make levy this year for the soldier settlement act.
 The reason for this action by the land board, which by virtue of the pro- visions of the state soldier settlement act is also the soldier settlement board, is that there is very small Likelihood of any money being needed for this pur pose this year, as the national soldier settlement act has not been passed by congress, and If it does pass it will take some time to get the administrative machinery in motion, and the state funds will not be needed until there is need of cooperation. as the bill was passed for the purpose of cooperating with the federal government in this matter.
 Another reason is that the bill car ries an open, or blanket, appropriation and special levy would not be nee essary for the preliminary expenses. as they may be paid out of the general fund.
 There has been much concern in cer- tam quarters as to the large expense to the state that this act might entail. which was later set at rest by the statement by Governor Thomas E. Campbell that if the bill passed with the S5OO,OOO,o0O appropriation with which its was introduced, the share of Arlzona would be only s10,000, OO0

TAKES UP BILLBOARD FIGHT
(New York Herald)

Opening a fight on billboards in city streets and avenues, the National As sociation of Real Estate Boards. in convention at Atlantic City. places it's interested strength behind a public sentiment which has been able already in a number of cities to effect whole some reforms in the indicated direc- tion. Washington has abolished bill boards, Chicago regulates them by a principle of majority consent. In Bos- ton charter provision is directed against them.
 New York has experienced several anti billboard agitations without vis- 1ble effect. Broadway still suffers visitations of ugly boardings Along Riverside Drive choice beauty spots of sloping lawn are spread before back grounds of unsightly advertising ris- ing to levels of second story window tops. Such obtrusive structures of fend the intelligent eye. The men at Atlantic City find that they also can affect seriously the values of real estate and of bonds issued to cover investments in parks parkways and boulevards.
 For the billboards there is no plea of public necessity. They are institu- tions purely of private profit. No ranking for general convenience is to be accorded to them They lack the qualities of fantastic display and the virtue of assisting materially in the illumination of great city which has disarmed esthetic critics of the cleo tric night advertising signs along shop ping fronts and skylines.
 Billboards in cities are indeed the unbecoming products of a special in dulgence. When that indulgence is withdrawn by urban authority, it may be found practicable to clean up the landscape along rural drives and cross-country railway lines.

BELIEVES PROPOSED HIKE IN ICING RATE
 WON'T MATER|AL|ZE

With the showing that was made, I do not believe the interstate commerce commission will be able to put into effect the proposed increased rates for icing Arizona products" said F. A. Jones of the Arizona corporation com mission, upon his return yesterday from the hearing in Los Angeles be- fore C. R. Marshall, attorney and ex- aminer for the interstate board.
 This hearing" continued Mir Jones, was the first of a series of hearings to be held all over the country by the commission to determine the advisa- bility of putting into effect increased icing tariffs all over the country. The railroad administration was represent by experts of all sorts. and by at torneys; California was represented by delegates from the citrus league, the vegetable growers union, the mea. in dustry, and others. and there were representatives present from most of the intermountain states I represent ed Arizona for the corporation com mission and in behalf of the growers of perishable products in this state
 My contention was not that Arizona objected to paying whatever rate was just, cost considered, but that we do object to paying discriminatory rates. I developed from the witnesses, on cross examination, and by my own testimony, that it takes two more icings for most California products l than for those grown in this state, and contended that there was no jus tice in equality of rates"
 1 Later on MT. Jones proposes to file a brief along the same lines, pointing out that mileage, time, and the number of icings should be determining fac i tors in setting equitable rates.

ILLUSTRATE ATTEMPT
 ID ROB MESA STORE

MESA, July 1S.-An attempt was made at o'clock Wednesday night to rob Ju Sing, a Chinese merchant hay ing a little store beyond the city limits in the Mexican settlement just north and east of the water plant At the hour mentioned the Chinaman had closed his store and vas in the rear room cooking his supper. Hearing a knock at the front door, he opened it and admitted two Mexicans who said they wanted a dimes worth of candy As Ju Sing was getting out the candy he noticed the men pulling pistols from their pockets. He made a hasty dash for the door and once outside gave a lusty yell of alarm which brought to his assistance several Mexican men who live in that vicinity. The would be holdup men made their escape with out securing any booty. Some of the Mexicans present claimed that they recognized the thieves.
 This is a third time Ju Sing has had similar experience, with the excep- ton that on both former occasions the robbers got away with some money.

FIRST STUCK ISSUE IF GOODYEAR PLANT
 ON COAST OFFERED

With preparations practically com plete and actual construction soon to start on the big new Goodyear plant at Los Angeles which will use quanti- ties of Arizona cotton in it's products, announcement was received here yes terday of the informal offering on the market of $6,000 900 in cumulative pre- ferred stock of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of California. The stock is to be of the seven per cent rate and is being handled by Cyrus Pierce and company of the insurance exchange, San Francisco and the Cit izens National Bank building, Los Angeles.
 The proceeds of the sale of this stock will be used to erect plant for the newly formed Goodyear Tire and Rub Der company of California in the city of Los Angeles. The necessity for this new plant has arisen through the in ability of the parent company, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron, Ohio, to keep pace with the ever growing demand for Goodyear products in the far west.
 The new plant will take over all the Goodyear business on the Pacific slope and the Mountain slopes. Until the plant is in a condition to supply the | demand, the Akron company will turn over the necessary goods to the new company.
 On the basis of last years sales, which amounted to more than 13,000,- 900 in the territory to be covered by the new company. it is estimated that there will be a net profit over three times the amount necessary to pay the dividends on this issue of preferred stock. The profit will result solely from the distribution of Goodyear pro-
 ducts procured from the Akron plant
 When the California plant is completed there will be added to this the manu-
 featuring profit which now goes to the
 Akron company.
