ARIZONA TO FIGHT
 FOR LOWER RATES

Phoenix, July 31.-The Arizona Corporation commission has gone tc bat for the hay producers of Arizona and joining forces with the public utility commissions of all states west of the Mississippi, will appear before the Interstate Commerce commission in Washington, on August 15 in an effort to secure reduced freight rates not only on hay but on grain and grain products as well. This was made known with the return of Amos A. Belts of the Arizona commission from Chicago.
 The recent 25 per cent advance in rates coupled with the high costs of production is robbing the farmer of all his profits and stifling production, it is claimed, hence the concerted de- termination of the western states to combat the present rates and secure a return to the former level.
 MT. Belts will represent Arizona at the Washington hearing. He is also a member of the committee of five which will handle the case for the producers. The matter will be pre- sented as consolidated case, leaving each state free, however, to present special issues. MT. Betts appoint ment was made at conference of west ern states commissioners held in Chi non 1oct xraa1 tho nthnr Lox of the Committee being: c. M. Reed of the Kansas commission, T. A. Brown of Nebraska, Chas. Webster of Iowa and J. J. Murphy of South Dakota.
 As showing the unrest in the mat ter at hand nine states were repre- scented at the conference by commits sioners and others by their rate ex- perts. The Washington hearing will be before E. I. Lewis, one of the new members of the interstate commission, who was formerly member of the Indiana commission.
 "The new rates are proving men, ace to agricultural production" de- clared MT. Betts, land the middle western states are especially con- cerned over the situation. The Kan sas commissioner stated that his state stood ready to spend $25,000 in the fight if necessary.
 "The case will be made largely on economic conditions, rather than spe- cific rate comparisons, and in addi- tion we hope to be able to show that the existing rates are unreasonable per SC. Clifford Thone, counsel for the Farmers National Grain Dealers association, and for the American Farm Bureau, and also for the stock interests, will participate in the case on behalf of the producers, and it is hoped to have at least one represen- tative from the farmers from each state to attend as witness.
 "This is a matter which should vitally concern the hay producers of the Salt, Gila and Yuma valleys, said Mir. Belts in conclusion, land we hope that sufficient interest will be taken to cooperate with us to the fullest extent. Much of our hay has been shipped to points in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, but under the advanced rates such shipments are unprofitable and the market has been killed. If there is any way to restore this market this commission is going to do everything within it's power to bring it about"

MORE INFORMATION ON
 ASSESSMENT BILL

1 Washington, D. C., Aug. 10-The Hayden bill changing the time for do- ing assessment work on unpatented mineral claims from the calendar to the fiscal year has passed the House and will probably be acted upon by ! the Senate in the near future. The only way in which this change could be brought about was to extend the time in which the assessment work for 1921 may be performed from December 31, 1921 to July l, 1922. The bill was amended to provide that the period within which the work to be done annually on mining claims shall commence at noon on July first instead of midnight on June 30. When this measure was under consideration by the House Congressman Hayden said:
 MIR. HAYDEN. MT. Speaker, the gentleman from Nevaua (Mr. Arentz) was kind enough to submit his amend ment to me in advance or offering it and am grad to accept it. The wis dom of beginning the year in which assessment work must be done at noon instead of midnight will not be dis puted by anyone wno IS at all tamlnar with the location of mining claims. 1nere have been frequent disputes caused by two or more men going upon the same piece of ground in the middle of the night, often without see- ing each other. Rights to mineral claims will henceforth be initiated when the sun is at meridian height, which is the beauty and glory of the day, instead of at that time of night
 When churchyards yawn and hell it. self breathes out contagion to this world.
 AS to the bill proper, the arguments in favor of it's enactment have been fully set forth in the report by the chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining (Mr. Rhodes) and by other gentlemen who have spoken here to- day. The desirability of changing the time for doing annual assessment work on mineral claims from the cal endar year, beginning January 1, to the fiscal year, beginning July l, has long been recognized and meets with the approval of practically all those engaged in prospecting and mining. As typical of many other statements in support of this change, let me quote from the Mining and Scientific Press, of San Francisco:
 As we have suggested before, one excellent amendment to the present statute would change permanently the final date for performing the annual assessment work from January to July 1. Congressional action taken some months ago extended for six months, or until July 1, 1921, the final date for the completion of the work for 1920; accordingly, it would be von- venient to make the suggested change at this time. <
 In this connection it should not be forgotten that section 2 of the act to save daylight was not repealed, and consequently the United States stan- dard time for the zone in which mining claim is located will govern, and not the local or sun time. In Arizona, for example, where the stan dard time is about 30 minutes ahead of the sun, prospectors and claim owners will avoid difficulty by re- this fact at high noon on July 1.

FOREIGN DELEGATES ARE
NOT OVER THEIR SURPRI

Washington. Nov. 13.-DeleSates
to the arms conference had not re-
covered today from the shock of
Secretary Hughes blunt presenta-
ton yesterday of the proposal for
immediate reduction of the fleets of
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan, and for 1O-year naval holi-
day.
The concrete terms of the Ameri-
can plan laid before the opening
session of the conference on limita-
tion of armaments were still in the
hands Of the naval experts of the
other two powers chiefly concerned.
Pending their conclusions, no fur
ther step is probable. The spOkes-
men here for Britain and Japan had
nothing to add to their previous,
guarded comments on MIR. Hughes
suggestions. AS far as they went,
these statements were encouraging
and it was certain at least that no
possibility Of flat rejection of the
plan existed. Without doubt il will
The daily times., 1921-11-15

form the basis for reaching whatever
conclusions the conference brings
forth.
With further time for study by in
-terested officials of ali nations, the
American plan began to stand out to-
day in it's true proportions. Appa
rently it is far more than 1O-year
naval holiday that is protected
coupled with immediate heavy reduc-
ton of the fleets of three powers

ed States would be content with bat
tleships alone.
This may prove significant as the
discussion proceeds, some naval Off
GERS believe. 1t appears probable
that in proposing to agree that both
of the island powers should be pro-
vided in equal number with those
newest additions to the main fleets
of nations, while the United States
made no attempt for 10 years at
least to equip the American fleet
similarly, the American delegation
to the arms conference sought to
convey a very definite assurance that
America, as President Harding told
the conference, came to the discus
sion with no selfish purpose to
serve.
REIMBURSEMENT by the United
States of any battle cruiser element
in her fleet, some officers said, at
once indicated clearly that the navy
was not being maintained with the
deliberate idea that it might some
day become advisable to raid the sea
commerce of the two insular powers
or either of them. Battle cruisers
would be invaluable; perhaps vital
to successful prosecution of a naval
war across the Pacific, it was said.
