Everybody seems to be enthusiastic
over the new slate at the State De-
partment. Mr.. Carr, who is director
of the consular. service as well as
Assistant to the Secretary OF State,
is a holdover from the last 'Ad-

on as he probably knows more
about the workings OF the consular
service than any other man in the

Cowboys in Arizona
to Get Uniform Wage

A uniform salary for cowboys
will henceforth be t h rule
among Arizona cattle outfits, ac-
cording to a decision made by
the Arizona Cattle Growers as
sociation at its recent confer
ence in Phoenix.
Instead of wages varying from
$40 a month to as high as $50,
there will henceforth be a uni
form rate of $45 a month on all
ranches. A similar agreement
to pay $45 a month to sheep
herders was reached by the Ari-
zona sheepmen recently.
The new wage scale of $45 a
month was adopted on account
of difficulties which the cattle
growers are facing at this time.
Due to the fact that there is
practically no market for cattle
at present, the cattle grower
finds himself in a poor position
to pay good wages.
This, of course, is small con-
ISOLATION for the cowboy. who
finds that in comparison with
the wages of domestic servants
in the cities his $45 a month is a
very slender stipend. With
servants pay in Los Angeles and
other coast cities ranging from
S65 for average help to over
S100 month for japanese help,
the Arizona cow-puncherS nat
urally feels that the romance
of his calling will have to be
given very high valuation in
order to make up for the uniform
wage of $45.
1t is reported that an imme-
diate result of the announcement
of the new wage scale for cow
boys has been marked increase

Demands Refund of Taxes

E. A. Sawyer, of Winslow, has
filed complaint with the state
tax commission asking t h t
taxes paid by him on $4,000
acres of land in Navajo county
in 1919 be refunded. He charg-
es the taxes were unlawfully
levied by Navajo county.
Mr.. Sawyer said he purchased
the land in 1919 from the Aztec
Land and Cattle company. The
land at that time, he states, was
unsurveyed. The governor en-
joined him from using the land,
claiming it was part of forest
preserve and consequently ne
had no use of it during the Pc
riod for which the 1920 taxes
were levied. He recently has
secured permission from the
government to use the land.

The boundary line between
Coconino and Navajo counties is
to be surveyed, the work to be-

under charge of Frank Good
man, of Holbrook, former as
sistant county engineer here.
The supervisors Of Navajo coun-
ty made the proposition a few
weeks ago to the supervisors of
this county, who endorsed the
proposition and notified the for
mer body that they are ready to
stand their half of the expense.
This boundary line between
the two counties, which is more
than 200 miles long, has never
been surveyed. The statutes
define it by meridian line only.
Stockmen have long wanted it
