SHEEP MEN WILL
 FIGHT TAX LAW

About two weeks ago George B.. Ayers, chairman of the board of sup ervisors of this county, w. P. Mahon- ey, sheriff, and c. w. Herndon, legal advisor of the board, went to the north part of the county to enforce the >col- lection of occupation tax from the sheep men who were grazing their herds in the northern strip" With justice of the peace they went to Wolf Hole and held court on an ar rested sheep owner and finally made settlement from the prisoner and other grazers that could be readily found. It was understood at the time that all those grazing sheep and cattle in Mohave county would pay the amount due the county under the grazing law, but that payment would be made under protest. The party brought back with it more than $7 900 and expected the collections would reach $50,000.
 Last Saturday the sheep men met at Cedar City, Utah, and organized to resist the collection of the tax, test case being prepared that will be pre- sented to the court. It is held by the lawyers for the sheep growers that the law is unconstitutional. It is hardly probable that our courts will hold the law unconstitutional, as it amounts to only an occupational tax. In the event that it was so declared the governor could establish quaran- tine regulations against Utah stock men, which would have the same eff feet. Cattlemen who have their herds all the year round in the strip are overrun by sheepmen during the win- ter and spring months, and have big kick coming from that cause. Other states have a law similar to the Ari- zona statute that has been held to be constitutional and we feel certain that the sheepmen will have to take their medicine or keep their sheep on the other side of the line.-Kingman Miner.

NEEDLES GOOD ROADS CLUB ORGANIZED
 TO COOPERATE WITH SANTA FEE TRAILS

Following the meeting at Flagstaff, Arizona, November 22, as outlined in the Nugget of last Friday, number of our business men met informally at the city hall Wednesday afternoon at 8 o'clock to talk the situation over. l.. V. Root, who attended the meeting at Flagstaff, stated the purposes of the newly formed organization and why it was organized.
 It is matter in which the people along the line of the National Old Trails road must cooperate in some plan to hold the motor traffic which they are now enjoying, else it will be taken from them by the building of other and better roads. The National Old Trails has all the natural advan- tages, but unfortunately, some of the unnatural conditions are against 1t, as for instance, Me fact that much the largest percentage of the people and taxable property in Apache coun- ty, Arizona, lies in the southern DOT tions of that county, while the Old Trails demands highway across its northern portion along the line of the Santa Fe to meet with the state and federal highway of New Mexico now building from Albuquerque west by Gallup to the Arizona state line. This condition needs no further explana- tion. The traffic, or at least a great CT per centage of it, now travels the alternate route through St. Johns and
The Coconino sun., 1919-12-12

hence these people see the result that a road through the northern part will have. They will not only lose the traffic which they have been enjoying but they will be aiding in diverting it from themselves. It is a peculiar sit uation and the people must not be criticised for being just human. That does not change the condition, how ever, if the communities along the line of the Santa .Fe from Albuquerque west to Los Angeles expect to retain and enjoy the traffic and the increase that can be anticipated each year, they must maintain road and condi- tions that are better than that of other roads else this traffic will not remain with them. If for such reasons traffic should be routed south from Albuquerque to points south of the National Old Trails road, then such traffic would never reach any of the cities or towns along the line of the Santa Fe west of Albuquerque.
 The people present at the meeting Wednesday quickly realized the sit uation, for they at once formed an organization known at the Needles Good Roads club, which is simply a local organization to assist the Santa Fe Old Trails association in it's work of making possible to build the link of road across Apache county which will shorten the Old Trails road by a hundred miles and keep it's traffic in close touch with the many accom- modations which the towns along that road have to offer for the comforts of the tourist.
 The following members have signed up with the club and paid fee of $lO.00 each:
 Needles New Garage, William Sweeney, w. c. Kaiser, B. c. Melane, F. B. Gabbert, O. D. Collins, John Lorimer, Foster & Co.,, w. M. Clay pool, Smith & Hart, G. F. Connor, C. Hunsaker, A. K. Silvernale, w. l.. Carter, Stout & Underhill.
 There are numerous others in the city who were not present at the meeting who will join when they are fully cognizant of the situation. If you have not been invited you can just hand your fee to o. D. Collins, F. B. Gabbert, w. c. Kaiser or L. ". Root. Any one will accept your money and if you are in doubt as to the purpose of the organization, they will explain the situation that con- fronts not Needles alone, but every city and town from Holbrook, Arizona, to San Bernardino, California, along the route of the National Old Trails. A careful perusal of the article ap- bearing in last weeks issue of the Nugget will throw more light upon the subject. L. V. Root, who attended the meeting at Flagstaff, will leave tonight to attend meeting. of the board of directors of the Santa Fe Old Trails association at Holbrook on Saturday, when the first active steps will be taken to attain the objects sought by the organization and which are so vitally important to our future motor traffic.-Needles Nugget.

RULES COVERING THE
 LEASING OF STATE LAND

State Land Commissioner w. A. Moeur states that Gin conformity with my request in letter to Governor Campbell under date of March z, 1919, the state land department met few days ago and instructed the commits sion to issue no leases for period longer than five years. This action by the department was very satisfac- tory to Mir. Moeur, because, under the provisions of the constitution, all leases issued for period in excess of five years must be advertised and sold at public auction to the highest bid der.
 One can readily see that proced- ure of this kind would result to the detriment of the smaller operators, and might, in some cases, work an injustice to larger holdings.
 The following rules and regula- tions will govern in the administra- tion of state lands under House Bill No. 60, Chapter 166, Session Laws 1919, and known as the Land Bill".
 (a) For the present, outstanding leases will not be disturbed, that is to say: These leases will not be talk en up for the purpose of including two or more sections in single lease contract.
 (b) Any person, association or corporation may hold by assignment two or more lease contracts covering $40 acres each.
 (c) Any one person, association or corporation may obtain one or more lease contracts covering $40 acres each.
 (d) In cases where the equities are we'll defined, and the necessity for readjustment unlikely, a person, as- a lease contract covering more than GAO acres.
 (e) No lease will be issued for term longer than five years.
 (f) All applicants to assign lease must be accompanied by the original copy of the lease to be as- signed.
 (g) All applications to assign lease must be accompanied by fil- ing and transfer fee of three (3.00) dollars.
 (h) Applications to assign a lease will not be considered if in default as to the payment of rentals.
 (D Applications to assign a lease must be signed by both the assignor and assignee.
 (j) All signatures required by the preceding section must be acknow- ledged before notary public or other officer authorized to take acknow- ledgments.
 (k) Applications to assign a lease may be signed by an attorney when the written authority from the lessee is filed with the Land Commissioner.
 CD A lease contract cannot be legally assigned without the consent of the State Land commissioner.
 (m) The Commissioner reserves the right to withhold his consent to the assignment of lease, when in

DANGEROUS STUNT sft TO CARRY BOOZE
 INTO MOHAVE co,

That the wilds of Mohave county are exceedingly unprofitable for bootleggers is the opinion vouchsafed by A. A. (Tony) Johns, president of the state senate. Johns bases his opinion on a little incident out of &c., ligman, which happened not so long ago.
 A certain individual drove into town with an automobile laden down with an assortment of bundles whose contents were more or less of mys- tery at the time, but not for long. Said individual thought he had a friend or two in town, and just to prove his good will he presented them each with a pint of rare old rye.
 The traveller then journey onward, following the highway along the San ta Fe. He had travelled about twelve miles when he was held up by three men.
 Thirteen cases of fine old Sunny brook were transferred to another car. The top of the carburetor of the victims car was taken and he was left without means of locom0tion in the middle of a sheep range, while the hold-up trio made their way back to town, with their precious cargo.
 In time the victim made his way back to Seligman. He found his car buretor top awaiting him at the gar age. He also interviewed his friends to whom he had presented the sam ples of his carge. Could they throw any light as to the identity of the bandits? One thought that he could, in fact made bold to remark that he might be found within handshaking distance.
 And then the victim tumbled, and the celebration began.
 Johns claims that he knows all the parties who were mixed up in this bold highway robbery, which was the first of it's kind in the state as far as he knows, but he refuses to divulge any names. N Springerviile which traverses the southern portions of the county,

having to find jobs. Those former
officers with wives and families to
support are in many cases living on
meager pensions.
One of the most remarkable cases
of unemployment is that of a Cam
bridge university graduate who for
the greater part of the war held an
important command in the army
and subsequently a temporary post
of great responsibility in a govern
ment department. He is armed with
a letter from the War Office thank
ing him for his services and adding:
There are few people with greater
organizing ability, more charming
manners, greater tact and drive than
yourself" Another letter to him
from Sir Auckland Geddes. presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, ex-
presses warm personal thanks for
your loyal and devoted cooperation
in very difficult work" King
George bestowed on him the order
of Commander of the British En-
pire.
But these credentials have been
OF no avail in his quest for suitable
employment in this country, and. in
despair. he says that he is going to
America next month.

Princeton Will Make
Endowment Fund Plans

Princeton, Sept. 22. Princeton
University's campaign for an en-
dowment fund of fourteen million
dollars will be officially launched at
q general conference to be held at
Princeton on September 26 and 81.
Alumni from every section of the
country will attend. Arrangements
have been made to bring together
graduates from ali classes and from
all territorial sections. Members of
classes that graduated back in the
early seventies will meet with Prince
ton men of the latter-day classes,
including many who had to relin-
quish their classroom work in 1917
to enter the Nations war service.
An intensive program has been
arranged for the conference, in
cluding speeches byprominent grad
yates and professors, and tours of
inspection of the laboratories and
lecture rooms. On leaving the con-
ference the delegation will be thor
oughly schooled in the specific and
immediate needs of Princeton.
Henry B. Thompson, president of
the United States Finishing Com
pany, has been selected chairman of
the endowment committee and will
preside at the conference.
The campaign to raise the $14,-
100000 dollars as outlined by Chair
man Thompson will extend over a
period of FIVE months. The country
has been divided into IA territorial
sections with a division chairman
over each. These territorial divi-
sions have been further subdivided
into local districts, with local chair
men and committees.

BUSINESS TAKES
UP CHEMISTRY
Department Stores and Mail
Order Houses Install
ing Laboratories

New York, Sept. 22.-Departmen
stores and mail order houses are
now installing chemical laboratories
as part of their organization or are
retaining chemists by the year.
One large dry goods firm in st.
Paul has a complete laboratory in
full view of its customers where
tests of all kinds of merchandise
are conducted. The exact kind of
dye in fabrics, the flbers which they
contain. whether cotton or wool or
silk, or mixtures of various threads
can thus be determined to the salts
faction of both merchant and con-
sumer.
BY having the chemist continu-
ally checking up on the quality of
products. large houses which sell
merchandise by parcel post over wide
areas can describe exactly everything
enumerated in their catalogs. Thus
they do not guarantee articles until
they have had them thoroughly ex-
amined. AS customers are so scat
tered over the country, accurate de-
scriptions of merchandise prevent
misunderstanding The cutting
down of unnecessary correspondence
is one of the economies which has
resulted from taking in a chemical
partner.
Much as does big business make
use of chemistry at the present time,
1t was only about a quarter of a
century ago that 1t even sensed the
relation of research to success in
manufacturing and commerce.
