 STARTED
CBy Associated Press.)

PHOENIN, Aug. 2-The state tax commission at its first session today as state board of equalization held hearings on protests against the as sessed valuations for tax purposes on the properties of the Arizona and New Mexico Railroad company, the Arizona Copper company and the Postal Telegraph company.

The Arizona and New Mexico Railroad company was rep resented by George Drysdale, its sec retary. The railroad had been as sessed at $5O.OOO a mile. Mir. Drys- dale set forth that while that might have been a fair assessment last year the business of the company had been so reduced in consequence of the fall ing off in mine production that such an assessment now would be unjust He said transportation of mine prod ucts was the principal traffic
 Arguments for a reduction of the placed on the property of the Arizona Copper company and the Shannon property. which had been ac- quired by the company within the past year, were presented by com pany counsel and officials. It was contended that the valuation on the Shannon, which formed part of the total assessment of the Arizona Cop per company. was excessive.
 W. w. Morrison, district agent at Los Angeles for the Postal Telegraph company, appeared for that company. He claimed that the assessment of $50 per wire-mile was too big. All pro tests today were taken under advise ment.
 The board will hold meetings all week, it was announced, and next Monday will transmit its final figures on valuations to boards of super visors.
