DWIGHT HEARD IN LIVELY
 TILT WITH PACKER SWIFT

Louis Swift, Chicago packer; L. D. Weld, of the Swift packing concern; and Dwight B. Heard, of Phoenix, a former president of the American Ma tional Livestock Association, engag- ed in lively discussion over the Ken drick- Kenyon bill at the convention of the California Cattlemen's Association at San Francisco last Saturday. Mir. Heard is member of the livestock association committee working for the passage of the bill.
 Swift and Weld declared this meas ure for control of the packing indus try was likely to result in incompetent outsiders being put in charge of the packing houses and said the govern ment management of the railroads during the war was sample of what the packing industry would face.
 Heard replied that the bill did not contemplate national operation of the packing houses, but rather a control similar to that exercised over the na- tional banks.
 As for implications that the meas ure was Socialistic, he said, the mem- bers of the American National Live Stock Association committee working for it's passage were business men seeking more money for the livestock producers and lower prices for the consumers.

PAYMENT OF TAXES
 ON TRANSIENT HERDS

"ln what particular county of the state should assessments be made, taxes levied and collected upon tran sient herds of sheep, cattle and goats, as the basis of distribution of such taxes among the several counties where such animals may be at differ ent times in the year."
 Referring to Paragraph 1869 of Re- vised Statutes, the following language will be found:
 goats, wherever mentioned herein, shall be taken to mean cattle, sheep or goats, that range, graze, or drift in more than one county for any part of the calendar year. Transient herds of cattle, sheep, and goats shall be assessed, and the taxes thereon shall be collected in the county where the home ranch or headquarters ranch is situated"
 The law also requires the owner of such herds to make an affidavit, stat ing his residence, and also stating where his herd will range during the year. The whole question turns upon the matter of determining the "home ranch" of the herd in each instance. Primarily, the ''home ranch" will be the residence ranch of the owner, if, however, the owner, when paying his taxes. makes oath that such ranch is not the "home ranch" for purposes of taxation of his herd, he becomes liable for perjury in the event that claim is false. Again, the county as- sessor in making up his rolls, must determine certain facts among them,

CONDITION OF LIVE STOCK
 AND RANGES IN ARIZONA

Light snow that disappeared rapidly under the influence of clear skies cov- cred the higher elevations of the dis trict on Saturday. The coolest wealth CT of the season followed on Sunday and Monday mornings, but was not of sufficient severity to interfere seri- ously with the comfort of the stock. A heavy deposit of frost on number of recent mornings has tended to dry pastures rapidly. Grass fattened stock from summer ranges awaiting shipment have shrunk considerably in weight but the cooler weather has tended to harden them and thus i'm prove their condition. Much one and two year old stuff has been shipped from the district and the demand is said to be lively. Rainfall conditions in adjoining states in the next few weeks will doubtless determine the ex- tent of the movement from this sec ton.

CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA

Comparatively heavy frost deposits in the valleys have touched the milo maize, can, sudan grass and hegari rather severely where not matured, but in most instances the crop has been too far advanced to be seriously injured. Cutting is now progressing rapidly in most sections. In dryland sections of southern counties thresh- ing of milo maize is in operation.
 Shipment of oranges has now been going on for a week. From three to four carloads are leaving. the Salt River Valley daily. Wheat and bar ley sown in the lower valleys are com ing up nicely. Local wheat delivered to mills in Coconino county is report ed to be of unusually good quality. Fewer potatoes than usual are said to be stored on the farms in the Flag staff section.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Nov. 10.-Liberal receipts of cattle, made up mostly of Kansas, Oklahoma, grass fat steer, and Southwest rang CTS, sold at steady to 25 cents lower prices. Best killers and stockers and feeders were steady. Though hog re- ceipts were liberal the local market remained steady at a good margin over other points. There was active demand for sheep and lambs at steady prices.
 TOday's Receipts
 Receipts today were 35,000 cattle, 14,0OO hogs, 5000 syeep, compared with 27,0O0 cattle, 5000 hogs, and 1000 sheep a week ago, and 35,600 cattle, 14,1O0 hogs and $500 sheep a year ago. Cattle receipts from New Mexico were the largest of the season. A few loads arrived from Utah and the Northwest.
 Beef Cattle
 Compared with total receipts of cat tie, good killing grades both fed and grass fat were scarce, and sold at steady prices. The common to plain kinds were plentiful and sold at weak

CATTLE GROWERS
 RESCIND ACTION
 ON kENDRICK BILL

The Arizona Cattle Growers asso- citation, in its convention held Monday at the Adams Hotel, Phoenix, rescind- ed the action of the convention of last February endorsing the kendrick bill. They also protested against the pass age of this bill in its present form or like legislation.
 It was further resolved that a com mittee be appointed to go to Washing ton, to express to the committee which is handling the Kendrick bill, the at titude taken by the association.
 The resolutions adopted are as fol- lows:
 Whereas, The Arizona Cattle Growers Association assembled in Phoenix, Ariz., on the 11th, 18th, and 18th of February, 1919, endorsed with reservations the Kendrick bill; and
 Whereas, recent further investiga- tion develops the fact that the inter- ests of the producer and the con- sumer will not be subserved by the passing of such legislation; now, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, That the Arizona Cattle Growers Association in special convention assembled (pursuant to the action of the executive committee) on this 10th day of November, 1919, do hereby rescind the action of the con- vention of February II, 12, and 13, 1919, endorsing the said Kendrick bill, and hereby protest the passage of the bill in it's present form or like legisla- tion. But we do recommend sane and business-like legislation that will now bring about investigation, examina- ton and publication of conditions con- nected with the packing industry, and we further, recommend that a com mittee be appointed by the president of this association to go to Washing. ton and appear before any committee holding hearings on such bills and present the action of this organiZa- tion."
 At the opening of the afternoon ses- sion of the convention, Dwight B. Heard, when asked to speak, stated that he believed that there was q great deal of misunderstanding con- corning the purport of the two bills now under consideration. He main. tains that if the bills were passed they would do a great deal to stabilize the market and bring about closer co, operation between the producer and consumer. With this belief in mind he suggested that c. A. Ward, the association attorney, read a digest of the bills to be followed by a general discussion. This suggestion was act, ed upon.
 After the reading of the digest there was a discussion of the merits and demerits of the bills, in which Dwight B. Heard and H. A. Jastro were given an opportunity to express their views, favoring government con trol of the packing industry. When the matter was finally put to vote however, the aforementioned resolu- tions were adopted as an expression of the attitude of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association. The commit tee appointed by Charles P. Mullen president of the association, to draw up the resolutions consisted of J. C. Kinney of Tucson, Jack Crabb of Flagstaff, and J. N. Robinson of Globe.
 There were in the neighborhood of 100 cattle growers present.

to p cents lower prices. The best offerings brought $17.25. Several punches of short fed steers sold at S15.O0 to S17.00. Prime steers were lacking. Grass fat steers sold at $S.50 to $13.50, few below $9.50 Butcher grades were about steady. Gamer cows sold at $500 to S5.75, and killing grades S6.5O to SIPS. Veal calves were 25 to 50 cents lower at $8.5O to S16.0O Bulls brought $500 to $50.
 StOckers and Feeders
 Demand for stockers and feeders was not as urgent as on preceding Mondays. The best grades met a ready outlet but large supplies of common to fair kinds were lower and sold slowly. Feeders sold at S8.5O to s13.25. Those below S9.50 were plain to common quality. Stockers brought S7.75 to $11.25, stock calves $500 to $12.00,, and stock cows and heifers S6.00 to S8.50. /
 Hogs Steady and Down
 The hog market was steady at last weeks advance until near the close, when some sales were 15 cents lower The top price was S15.5O, and the bulk of the offerings sold at Sl4.90 to $15.50, or 50 cents higher than week ago. Though receipts showed a mod crate increase compared with preced- ing Mondays sales, the movement is far short of normal for this season of the year, and packers are paying $2.00 more than they had counted on month ago. Feeders are eager for all the pigs and thin hogs offered, and good feeding grades are selling as high as fat hogs.
 Sheep and Lambs Steady
 Steady prices prevailed in the sheep market. Receipts were about normal for this season of the year. Few range lambs were offered. One short fed native lamb brought $14.00 Fat lambs are quoted at $14.00 to $14.15, ewes $70O to $500, and yearlings $10.00 to $1075. Western feeding lambs are selling at s11.50 to $13.25.
