Success of Proposed
 Peace Meet Depends
 On Armistice Terms
TRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, July 2S-Success or fail- ure of the proposal to hold a confer ence here between the entente, soviet Russia and Russian border states rep resentatives depends almost wholly on the armistice terms Russia lays down to the Poles. probably Saturday in the opinion of officials.
 Limitations have reached official quarters that the Russians are not finding it easy to decide on terms. One faction, led by Lenine, is rep resented to be in favor of terms that it would be reasonable to suppose the Poles would accept, while Trotzky and some of his intimates are represented as insisting on terms so humiliating that the Poles would be forced to continue fighting, or overthrow their government if the terms were accept ed. Should the latter contingency arise it would be useless to attempt a conference. Simultaneously with the dispatch of the note to the bolsheviki suggesting the conference, Great Britain invited Letvia, Lithuania, Fin land and Esthonia to participate. The first three accepted wholeheartedly Esthonia sent word it was willing to participate but did not express warm approval

TRACTOR TAX RULES
 ARE RECEIVED HERE

A digest of the tractor tax decision has reached the Phoenix chamber of commerce from the Motor World and is said to "clearly define'' the de- cision.
 The digest reads:
 By the decision it is held sthat a tractor is a machine, designed to draw or pull, but that tractors or semi tractors which carry portion of the load are taxable as automobile trucks.
 ..That trailers are not taxable, but that so-called trailers or semi-trailers so designed that a portion of the weight thereof is borne or carried by the tractor or semi-tractor, are taxable as parts of automobile trucks.
 "Under the law automobile trucks are taxable at per cent and automo- piles at per cent
 The new decision states that "an automobile truck or automobile wagon formed by joining together a so-called tractor or semi-tractor or a so-called trailer or semi-trailer, is taxable as a whole as an automobile truck" at the rate of 3 per cent. But when the two are sold separately the so-called trac- tor or semi tractor is taxable as an automobile truck or automobile wagon 6 per cent) and the so-called trailer or semi-trailer at a part G per cent). .r

Real Wild Man
 Is Offered To World dByMidn1i

The oportunity of a life time is of fered to some worthy circus of an en- terprising nature which would visit Miami and capture a mysterious man. guaranteed by the Chamber of Com merce to be as wild as any aborigine of Borneo ever dared to be.
 The wild man is of a shy and re- tiring nature and has never interfered with the city police. Tn fact, he rather shuns policemen. preferring his own segregated existence to a life of con vitality. His habit of watching the inhabitants of Miami from a reserved distance has provoked the police to a number of fruitless chases. and his disregard for the conventional mode in dressing has shocked an entire com munity.
 His first appearance was made sev- eral months ago in the vicinity of Cop per Glance, near Miami, where he ap- peared on a hillside clad only in thin Arizona air. which is known to be the most transparent in the world. Ills latest revival occurred only last week. this time modestly clothed. when he frightened the women and children by prancing around on all fours with agfl- ity and mournful howls. His unWar- ranted intrusion provoked an exodus on the part of the women of the camp who were alone, to Miami proper where the police were notified.
 Again the timid wild man refused to accept the hospitality of the law No trace of his individuality was found after a careful search of the neighborhood.

NJ NEED TO REDUCE WORKING FORCES NOW
 Is GOMPERS' CLAIM
IRepubliean A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON. July 2S-Mention- ing the suspension of operations by the American Woolen company and the announced intention of the Penn sylvania railroad to reduce its work ing force, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement today declared that "action of corporations which today lay off thousands of men is nothing management and a heinous offense against a people in need of every pos sible ounce of production.
 The federation of labor, he asserted, at all hazards will resist wage re- duetion.
 For months we have heard the cry: Increase production.' MT. Gompers declared. How can policy of in creased production be accomplished under a policy of laying off thousands of workers?"
 action, MT. Gompers said it had in creased it's net income in 1919 316 per cent over 1914 and its common stock earnings 551 per cent
 The Pennsylvania railroad, he add ed, plans to lay off 12,000 men.
 sWill this help move freight?" MT. Gompers, continued. Will it help give the nation that increased production of what it stands in need? Or is the laying off of workers a revival of the old and crude policy of laying off men during a political campaign for the purpose of driving them in fright and necessity into a political camp?
 Tn addition. there have been reports of efforts to decrease wages. There is no excuse and much less a reason for reduction of wages

 Destroy Diseased Date Palms
 YUMA-Every date palm at the eX- perimental station has been burned to the stump and there is not piece of green upon any one of the many trees Some time ago it was discovered that a destructive scale had attacked the trees at the Yuma date farm and ex- treme methods had to be taken to save the trees. According to date experts the only way to rid the trees of the scale was to burn them with an eiec- tric torch. This has been done at the Yuma date orchard and now only the bare trunks without trace of verdure is marking the place where last year a seven thousand dollar date crop was harvested from four acres of dates.- Sun.
