ANALYSIS IF
 TAXES GIVEN
 BY MAGAZINE
Some Explanation of Higher Government Costs Accepted
 and Some Not by Taxpayers
 Organ; Slave Off Bankruptcy
From Thursdays DaiIy)

A critical analysis of taxation i'll Arizona is compiled in the last issue of the Arizona Taxpayers Magazine received here yesterday. The sum mary includes a table of taxes by counties, showing that of the IA sub divisions of this state, Graham is raising the least money this year $148,35922, and Maricopa the most I$1, ,31464701. Yavapai county ranks twelfth with $741, ,5O2.66.
 Taxes have risen greatly since the year 1915, according to the compila- ton, showing progressive increase during the six years. The raise be- tween 1920 and 1921 is about $800,- GOO and the total in the state is $6, 894,89748 for the current year.
 Of this the general fund is to re- ceive $1,9S3074.74 The road fund gets $1,2O4,8 ,84467; the school fund is enriched to the extent of $2,501 ,S87. .58 and the bond and interest redemption fund is $1,205, ,390.49.
 During the same period there was an increase in state valuation from $42O,432,411.9O to S830,536,582 or nearly 100 per cent.
 Many of the increases in taxation are conceded to be regular ones, arising out of expected hoists in ex- penses and greater volume of official business. Not all of the increases are thus accepted, however. The summary raises a question concerning the great increase-tripling-of direct levy school taxes.
 Public bankruptcy is said to be a condition unknown to history, and it is declared that "a halt must be called before that breaking point is reached ill Arizona"
 Yavapai County Sound
 Due to the payment of all but two of the large accounts for taxes in this county, County Treasurer Frank E. Smith assures the Journal-Miner that delinquency, which might have been expected to run high this year, is less than 5 per cent. A drop of per cent was noted since the last report made by MT. Smith for pub lication.
 This is ill glittering contrast with the condition of Maricopa county last year when approximately 50 per cent of the taxes were delinquent.
 The figure for Yavapai county'S delinquency is higher on the basis of individual taxpayers, but owing to the prompt payment of virtually all of the big accounts, the money per centage is quite small in view of con tinued depression.

LAND ATTORNEY SUES
 CLIENT FOR HIS FEE

Suit for the payment of attorneys fees was tried before Superior Judge Lamson Wednesday and taken under advisement.
 The plaintiff is John H. Page of Phoenix, a land attorney, and he is supported by his co-partners, K. K. Koontz and D. B. Morgan. Lee L. Smart is the defendant.
 The complaint alleged that Smart retained the firm to handle a land contest before the land office, and that an agreement was entered into for pay. The defense held that there had been no such agreement as was alleged by MT. Page and resisted the payment of that sum.

Judge Sweeney Hears Closing
 Testimony in Surety Com
 pany's Suit Against City for D Bond Withheld under Contract
(From vednesday,s pailyl

Whether the freezing clause" in the city's paving contract covering the improvement of Mt. Vernon street invalidates or makes good a bond for $5,000 will be determined by Superior Judge John J. Sweeney between now and Friday, as a result of the wind-up yesterday of a two- day trial of the Southern Surety company's case against the city.
 The city's case was put in by City Attorney Alfred H. Gale yesterday. Testimony was taken from City Manager John H. Robinson, Coun- cilman A. L. Smith, J. w. Waara, former city surveyor, and others, and from records.
 The Surety company claims the bond under its contract and the city resists the claim on the ground t was properly withheld as a bonus for non-completion of the work during the winter months. It will be re- called that the work was started and then delayed pending settlement of the affairs of the Southwest Con- tracting company which was over taken by financial difficulties during its work here. The bonding com pany then assumed the job and it was completed by the company's con- tractors, Miller & White of Yuma.
 Neil C. Clark represents the plain tiff bonding company.

Asecial Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
MARION, Ohio, Jan. 15.-The per-
sonnel of his Cabinet and the fiscal
and military policies of the new Ad-
ministration occupied the attention of
President-elect Harding almost en-
tirely to-day. He breakfasted with
former Senator John w. Weeks OF
Massachusetts,, who came at Mr.. Har-
ding's invitation to discuss Cabinet
possibilities and domestic and interna-
tional problems. Later in the day Mr..
Harding conferred with Representa-
tive Joseph w. Fordney (Mich.). chair
man of the House Ways and Means
Committee, who came to lay before the
President-elect a suggestion for a
complete revision of import tariff
schedules.
Mr.. Weekss close intimacy with
Mr.. Harding and the formers frank
admission that he came to discuss
Cabinet material led to the belief that
the Massachusetts, man has been def
nitely decided upon as a member OF
the Presidents official family. The
further fact, disclosed by Mr.. Weeks
in a talk with newspaper men, that he
is in entire sympathy with Mr.. Har-
ding's ideas for small army of 150,-
900 men, with adequate facilities for
the training of large numbers in an
emergency, might support the belief
that he is to be the next Secretary Of
War. Mr.. Weeks's opinions as he laid
them before Mr.. Harding may be sum-
married. thus:
He believes that the United States has,
