FOR AMERICAN BOYS LIVES

This week we enjoying the opportun- ity of showing to what extent we have caught the spirit of the new and enlightened patriot ism that the World War gave birth to.
 Selfishness is dead. The sacrifice of money, future, even life itself has become al most common place. Today, would be ashamed to talk or act selfishly.
 The people of this Federal district have always lived up to the highest traditions of our race and now they will add to their record the crowning act of great Over-subscription to the Victory Liberty Loan, which of all loans, is the true test of patriotism.
 The people of this section well inform ed They know that the payment of our just debts is the only course consistent with our dignity. They know that what they are lending money for today is not actually war material. but American boys ives-if it were not for vast preparations Amercans would be fighting and dying in the trenches today.

mulated interstate mileage. Along with passenger transportation came the creation of freight haulage. The motor truck gradually demonstrated it's commercial usefulness, almost to the point of where railroad managers began to question whether it was to be a competitor or an adjunct. Those who advocated the motor truck per haps claimed d little more for it than could be proven. On the other hand, existing transportation agencies view. ed the situation antagonistically.
 The evidence in the case at the present moment is to the effect that the railroad systems must be supple mented in various directions by the employment of the motor vehicle; where there isn't sufficient business to justify the expense of trackage, where it is a case of intercity com munication which calls for door to door needs, and where extraordinary demands can be met specially and promptly, frequently with per ton cost a secondary consideration. The nature of the business often supplies the de- mand as to when this effective CO., operator of the railroads shall be en- ployed That these occasions are nu- merous and recurrent is plainly evi- dent, and they will multiply many fold.
 But there is also another substan- tial reason for. the building of the truck highway. Thousands of Ameri- cans enjoy their annual vacation peri ods in the open, and road travel is one of the most popular forms, since it offers health, a change of scene, and an opportunity of becoming better ac- quainted with ones own country. It so happens that many people select the. open air months for their jour neys, while others, possessing tempo Tary leisure, seek sections of country where winter is mild and sunshine is plentiful.
 With over six million motor car owners in the country. the day may not be far distant when every family will have it's own independent means of transport. Trips will be innumer able, and since highways serve botl commercial necessities and pleasur able demands, it is assured that we shall ultimately obtain federal sys tenn of trunk highways, supplemented
 by state systems connecting all parts

of a state, and, finally, the lesser trib- utaries, extending into the country in all directions, in order that the prod ucts of the soil may be conveyed to tine dwellers in centers of population, for they are dependent in the final analysis upon that which is pro luced by the tillers of the soil.
 First, the county helped the town ship by assuming the burden of the most important roads. Next, the states in these intrastate networks will arrange to take over the trunk roads which will bind our forty-eight parts into compact nation, in order that we can play our part in a league of nations, which, in one form or an other, must be the outcome of present day world requirements.

REACH CLIFTON
 ON LAST LAP OF JOURNEY

1.t of Stafford, Duncan McNeil and Pick ems Anderson, of the Board of Super visors, B. Vandercook, county engineer and W. B. Kelly.
 The county road between Clifton and the New Mexico line was in ex- cellent condition and this portion o: the drive through the county was made in fast time. two hours and forty minutes to Lordsburg from Clifton, a distance of seventy miles.
 At Lordsburg the committee board ed the s. P. for a return to Phoenix by rail and thence by auto to Yuma and San Diego, which will complete their trip in the west.
 Upon their return to the east the committee will prepare a report and offer recommendations regarding the route through Arizona and this report will be delivered to the directors Nof the Bankhead National Highway, who will decide upon the location of the route through the state, which action by the directors will be final. | A strong belief prevails among those familiar with both routes through Arizona that the Southern National Highway route will be desiS- mated, net only because it is the shortest route across the state, but because it will afford the auto tourist an opportunity to see the best part of the state, and to dissipate the idea entertained by so many customers who have visited the west over the transc0ntinental railway lines, that Arizona is a desert of sage brush and cactus

 Motor transportation brought about the new countrywide demand for trunk highways. Of course. before we had railroads there was used for the national government to construct the old Cumberland road and similar arteries of travel. Steam transporta- lion quickly replaced horse-drawn ve- hicles for interstate and even inter- county communication.
 Several decades passed in which the railroad assumed a prepOnderating in flUence in the development of the country. Then came the motor ve- hicle, not as a competitor of the rail roads, but as a fellow servant in trans portatiOn. Grudgingly the automobile and it's big brother, the motor truck, established themselves as cooperative agencies with the railroads in the transport of man and merchandise. ! Soon it was evident that thousands of people would employ the independ- ent means of travel for the purpose of covering distances which extended from town to town, then accepted in- tercounty journeys, and finally accu-

QUESTIONABLE BANKING

The Non-Partisan League is in full control of the affairs and finances of North Dakota which have gone long way toward establishing a socialistic form of government in that state
 North Dakota now has full authority to enter into competition with private enterprise in the state and by official power and prestige drive it to the wall State-owned undertakings naturally will pay no taxes, hence the general taxpayers must make up the deficit together with additional expense entailed by state op eration.
 North Dakota's banking scheme in the opinion of the Chicago Daily News, is "the most dubious and startling feature' of the league program.
 The bill provides that all state, county, township, municipal, school and other public funds as well as the funds of penal, industrial and educational institutions shall be with drawn from the national, state and private banks and placed with the commonwealth bank This means the withdrawal of more than $50, ,000,O ,O0O from the present banks thus crippling private institutions.
 Whether the political bank management is likely to be sound and conservative is a serious question. Partisan and factional politics in the handling of the banks funds and deposits will undoubtedly creep in.
 And in the meantime the dealings of GUS toners with the commonwealth bank will un- doubtedly be open to public inspection the same as other state business. thus doing away with the confidential relation existing between private banks and their patrons.

METAL MINING SITUATION

The U S. Bureau of Mines has Just issued a general statement as to present status of various mineral industries.
 The conclusions to be drawn from the re- port are that the mining industry as whole has passed its darkest hours in that prices have undoubtedly touched bedrock and world conditions are fairly well determined so that the mine operators know pretty definitely what they must contend with.
 Little hope is held out for any immediate business from Europe, although metal stocks in Germany are exhausted. It is felt that some time will elapse, however, before American mines will be able to count on any regular foreign demand.
 In the meantime, as building activity re- sumes in this country with the coming of spring. it will help relieve the stagnation of the metal market.
 Increased labor efficiency is necessary to help offset present cost of operation, which In most cases is above the selling price of metals, and the larger mines operating simply to maintain their organizations and be ready for the wave of business which must surely come.

Gila, Graham and Gleenlee counties did themselves proud with the reception rendered the Pathfnding Committee of the Bankhead National Highway Association who made inspection tour of these three counties during the first part of the week. While the com nlittee has not committed themselves to any particular route through the state, the strong impression prevails that the Southern National Highway route will be selected owing to the shorter distance and the most beautiful scenic route

FOURTH BIENNIAL REPORT OF STATE TAX COMMISSION

STATE TAX COMMISSION
 Following custom and law, the Arizona State Tax Commission has printed and dis tributed its fourth biennial report to the gov ernor of Arizona. The report consists of 40 pages of useful and instructive information, giving in detail the activities of the cominis- sion and the methods employed to qualize as- sessments
 The introductory shows that for the year 1911, when Arizona attained statehood, the total assessed valuation of property was $99 100000. Seven years later, through expansion and development, the total assessed valuation in 1918, including private lines, is $836,- 100000, an increase of 800 per cent in years. The population has increased also, but there has been census taken to de- termne the advance
 Seven years ago town and city lots com prised the value of 26. per cent. of the total wealth of the state. Mining property then was 19.3 per cent Now mining property comprises 59.63 per cent. of all the wealth of the state, while town and city lots, although assessed at three times as much, are now but 9.19 per cent. of the state assessment
 Gold mines have added much, but the great jump has been made through increase in |. copper mines, many new producers like the Inspiration and New Cornelia, having become producers the last few years.
 The following table shows the amount of taxes paid by classes:
 Railroads $19, ,052, ,313 $9S, ,541, ,403 Mining property of

 This at glance tells the story of the com missions activities during the seven years of its existence. During all this time the mission has had the earnest and loyal support of all the county assessors, without whose aid these results would have been utterly impos- sible. Further, it would be remiss to omit acknowledgment of the generous support given by the county boards of supervisors. All these officials, together with the tax, commission, have learned one wonderful lessOn-that of cooperation and team work.
 The splendid coordination of all the parts . of the tax machinery of the state is due for the most part to the inquisitorial tax confer ence held every year, full mention of which has been made in all previous reports of this commission. It is certainly not surplusage to add again that the results shown above could never have been brought about without these get-togeher conferences, where ignorance, pre- judice and sectional differences have been swept away and in their stead there has an nually broken light of clearer understanding and broader vision, in which nothing petty or sordid could flourish for long.
