The sugar beet crop grown in
Colorado this year will be the lar
gcst on record for the state and the
largest ever grown in any state in
the country. Reports made by eoun-
ty assessors to the State Immigra-
tion Department show that about
$4,000 acres is devoted to the crop,
while the Bureau of Crop Estimates
places the production OF the state
this year at 2.740,OO0 tons. Farmers
will receive minimum of S12 ton,
SO that the value of the crop to
them, based upon the minimum
price and the estimated prouction
will be $32,ssO,OOO According to
present price figures sugar beets
will be the third crop in the state
in point of value, being surpassed
by wheat and hay. The total value
of the corn crop, including silage
and forage. will be very close to

Military Leaders of Sonora
Republic Claim Carranza
Faces Most Critical Seces-
sion of Career.
VILLA IS AGAIN ACTIVE
(By Associated Press)

Aqua PRIETA, Sonora April 15.-
Martial law was proclaimed in Aqua
Prieta today in preparation for a
possible attack by Carranza forces
should the Mexican presidents troops
break through the barrier of soldiers,
the new republic has stationed be-
tween here and the Chihuahua
Sonora boundary.
CarranZa troops were reported at
Casas Grandes, 200 miles from here
preparing to march into Sonora and
toward this border port
General J. NJ. Pima, commander Of
the first division of the Sonora army,
was expected here at noon from Naco-
! zari to complete arrangements for de-
Tending territory endangered by the
Carranza expedition.
Arrange Conference.
General P. Elias Gales, commander
in chief of the Sonora troops and act
ing head of the new republic, tele-
Eraphed yesterday he would arrive
here this week to confer with local
military officers on the defense.
Sonora leaders have described the
Sonora secession as the most critical
test President CarranZa has faced.
They said military success by federal
agencies would make him stronger
than ever. but declared success of the
Sonora movement ultimately would
cause the Mexican presidents down
fall. when the seeding state again
would enter the national federation of
Estates.
No Confirmation Of Battle.
Official confirmation still was lack
Ing today of the first reported battle
between Carranza and Sonora soldiers
at the Sinaloa frontier. The report
was received both here and at
Nogales.
Francisco Elias who has been asked
to take charge Of the new customs
service for Sonora, said today that the
secession Of Sonora costs the central
government more than $1,000,000 in
revenue monthly. Half of this amount
went to the federal government from
customs collections and the balance
from state taxes. OF all taxes laid
within Mexican state half goes to the
federal government and half to the
state treasury.
Ready for carranza.
Military authorities here said the
state would have approximately $4,000
fully equipped and armed troops to
meet any invasion by Carranza. They
|. faid Carranza has 10000 troops in
Chihuahua but that reducing that
number to send men to Sonora, would
mean the rapid ascension of Francisco
Villa to his former power and control
of the adjoining state. Recent reports
have said Villa is more active than
he has been any time since last June.
The report from Mexico City that
Teneral Alvaro Obregon, candidate for
the presidency of Mexico and Gov.
ernorernor Benjamin Hill. his cam
paign manager. has fed from the
capital greatly cheered their adherents
there today. Both are residents OF
Sonora. Nothing direct from Obregon
mas been received in Sonora for several
Idays, it was said.

Far Plus 113 Per Cent,
Assessment Which Faces
Wayne Co. Tax Payers

The injustice of the state tax law
and the hardship it has worked in
Wayne county is illustrated by two
examples that just came to light.
A taxpayer, who gave in his build
ing and loan stock, found that his as
sessment had been increased 113 per
cent. In other words, he is paying
taxes on 113 per cent more money
than he really had in the association.
Another taxpayer, owning a block
of steel stock, gave it to the assessor
at its par value. He found that it
had been assessed 113 per cent in ad-
dition. He is paying 113 per cent
more than the par value of the stock
and about that much more than it's
present market value.
The inequalities OF the present law
has aroused the wrath of the taxpay-
ers generally. They believe it is un-
fair and should be radically revised.
