UNUSUAL RAINS

This section of the country has been
visited with unusual rains this year,
and, much to the delight of the cattle
men, the ranges will show the results
the coming spring. There has been
rainfall or snow almost every day
from the first of the year until the
18th and the country has been given
a good wetting. There is much snow
in the mountains and the prospects
for plenty of water for irrigation pur-
poses are good. The county road sup
erintendent has taken advantage OF
conditions to improve the roads, and
as soon as the roads dry up they will
be in first class shape.

TO BRIDGE GILA

The State highway department has
issued a call for bids for the construc-
ton of bridge across the ella river
near San Carlos. A bridge was con-
stucted at this point about seven
years ago but as soon at it was COM
pleted the river cut a new channel
around the southern end of the new
bridge, leaving same high and dry,
with 500 feet of the river between
the south bank and the end of the
bridge. When the new bridge is
completed there will be more auto
travel over the State Highway be-
tween Franklin and Phoenix.

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success Of agriculture depends
on the growth Of railroads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world S markets
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
: the constant investment Of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price Of inadequate transportation
facilities.

SECRETAR HOUSTON'S REPORT ON
HOUSE

Washington, April 8.-Secretary
Houston of the Treasury in a letter
to the House Ways and Means com
mittee has put at the disposal of the
committee every expert in the Treas
ury Department in an effort to either
induce or force some revision of rev.
enue legislation during this session of
Congress.
Not only has the Secretary offered
to the committee all the detailed in
formation at the command of the de-
partment- and has himself expressed
the willingness to join in any move
ment relative to the question of taxa
tion reform!
Despite this latest endeavor, it is
apparent the House Ways and Means
committee will do nothing at this ses-
sion of Congress. Whether it is fear
that prevents Congress from tackling
the question, or whatever the cause,
members of the committee indicate
plainly that nothing will be done at
this time.
The decision of the Republican lead
ers to refrain from removing the in
equalities which crept into taxation
legislation during the stress and strain
OF war will mean that not until 1922
will the country be relieved of these
burdens. When Congress meets again
next November, there will be an ex-
pressed desire to await the recon-
mendations of the New President in
the following March. Then the sub
ject will be debated at lenth and the
taxable returns under revised sched-
ule cannot be made applicable until
the 1922 taxation period
Under existing conditions it would
require not more than one week of
solid hard work on the part of Con-
gress to remove from the law at least
some of the inequalities. Pointing out
how much needless trouble is caused
The Winslow mail., 1920-04-09

taxpayers and the injury business suf-
fers and how little need be done by
Congress to relieve the legislation of
all these burdens, Secretary Houston
said:
"Complexity in tax laws violates the
most fundamental canon of taxation
that the liability shall be certain and
definite. 1t is not merely a source of
irritation, labor and expense to the
taxpayers, but when cojoined as it is
in the present law, with the heavy rat
es Of taxation which war exigencv has
forced upon us, it becomes a major
menace, threatening enterprise with
heavy but indefinable future obliga-
tons, generating a cloud of old claims
and potential back taxes which fill
the taxpayers with dread, creating to
be sure an attractive source of adj
dltional revenue, but cIogging the ad-
mlnlstrative machinery and threatens
ng indeed its possible breakdown.
Enforcing the present law may
cause concern to business in the fu-
ture, Secretary Houston also says. The
complexities of the present law are
such that if time is ever found to re-
view the returns Of business concerns
it may be found that the concerns owe
the government millions of dollars
No intent is shown by the concerns to
avoid their taxation but the firms dc
lot know what they owe and must pa
as they view the problem.
Every source of trouble could be re-
moved bysthree or four simple amend
ments to the present legislation. Sec
retary Houston shows And though the
and Democrats admit tha
these amendments should and could be
made without causing the slightest in
convenience to Congress, it appears an
approaching presidential election and
a fear that vacation will notsbe had
this summer will prevent business
from enjoying the relief to which it is
justly entitled and which Secretary
Houston is fighting for.
