United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, April 1.-The Tar if Congress- as the special session of the 67th congress is being called here, met today in response to the summons of President Harding.
 As the name indicates, it is expect ed to devote much of it's time to tar if revision, both temporary and per manent. Along with that is to go tax law revision, and in addition, a third big legislative task which may be undertaken is the enactment of a soldier bonus bill.
 Many other domestic issues are to come before the session, which, many members expect, will be so crowded with important business that it will merge into the regular session next December. The two houses met to- day under unusually favorable aus pices for the majority party. Pres ident Harding's program, expected to be outlined in message to the two houses today or tomorrow, can be put through intact if it meets with the approval of all Republicans in con- gress, for they have a clear working margin of 100 in the house and p in the senate, enough to render the Democratic minority helpless.
 Under vigorous leadership, how ever, particularly in the senate, where Oscar Underwood is in the saddle, the Democrats plan to make themselves felt. Their announced program is not purely obstructive; it is more nearly program of constructive criticism, with a view to making a record upon which they can go to the country in the congressional elections of 1922, in an effort to regain control of congress, or at least to reduce the margin of Republican control.
 Here is how the program lines up, in advance of Harding's message, which it is expected, will limit the legislative agenda to the most impor- tant domestic subjects, plus ratifca- tion of the Columbian treaty.
 Enactment of temporary or "emergency" tariff, for the benefit of American agricultural interests.
 Passage of an anti-dumping bill to protect American manufacturing in- terests.
 Revision of the tax laws, with par ticular attention to the so-called war taxes, including elimination, if pos sible of the excess profits tax, anc substitution for it of one or more forms of taxation; revision of the in come tax schedules.
 Enactment of new permanen tariff in place of the Underwood-Sim mons law, with schedules as high O higher than those of the Payne-Aldric' and Dingley laws.
 Enactment of a soldier bonus law providing for a number of kinds o adjusted compensation to eX-servic men, including cash payments, insur ance, land grants, home ownership etc. This will require enactment o revenue legislation to provide tn money, although the plan is to defe operation of the law for some time.
 Passage of laws recognizing cer tain government activities, anon which may be the combination of var ious departments and reduction of per sonnel

FOUND HOME TOWN PAPER IN THE HEART
 OF THE ROCKIES

Publishing country newspaper reminds me of tossing a pebble into the ocean. We never know how far the circles which it sets in motion will reach," said Willitson Manley, pub fisher of The Plaindealer, of Canton, N. r., the other day, in speaking of Subscribe for Your Home Town Pa per Week." which is to be observed the country over the week of Novem- Der 7-12. q had good reminder of this not long ago." he went on.
 "One day there appeared in the Plaindealer office a short, stubby, TO- bust man of probably sixty. I knew the minute saw him that he had come in from the big outdoors in some section. He told me that he had taken the paper for many years, probably forty, ever since he had left Canton, where he was born. He told me where 1 would find the paper going, and I found it. His post office was in a little town way out in the Rockies. He said he had come back to the old town to live. He paid what he owed and a year over for good measure, and then he sat down and I knew some- thing was coming.

There were a lot of long jumps between houses. For fifteen years 1 had been going out of my trail, about five miles to one side, to sell to a family that had moved in. You get rather well acquainted with people if you see them once in six months for that long, so when I got there one afternoon and didn't find anyone at home-just the door un- locked, as all doors were there-I went in and made myself comfortable. and when supper time came I didn't hesitate about hunting around for grub.

BOY, 14 YEARS OLD,
 KILLED WHILE HUNTING

Don't worry, papa, I'll be all right" 14-year-old Louis Cuber Jr., bravely told his father, Louis Cuber after he had been accidentally shot in the thigh by gun held by his brother, Harry Alhpine, in the Eagle Tail mountains. Ten minutes later, the boy, dry eyed and smiling, breathed his last. The race to Phoenix and medical attention had been lost.
 Louis Jr., in company with his half brother, his father and w. A. Wescott, a friend of the family, had gone on a hunting trip to the Eagle Tail moun- tains. They planned on two weeks trip, in quest of quail, duck and deer. The trip lasted less than day.
 Wescott was seated at the wheel of the car, and beside him, in the front seat, was the father. Harry, the half brother, was in the rear seat, his 12- gauge shotgun across his knees. Louis was circling around the car and was about to take his seat beside Harry, when the gun, in a manner un- explained by the half-brother and un- known to the father and friend, was discharged.

RAW STATE LAND LOAN
 UNCOVERED BY KUCHLER

A barren waste of "raw desert land" at Maricopa, Pinal county, with out human being or any improve ments on it, without water, without the possibility of water except at the large expense of installing pumps," is the only security the state of Arizona has for the sum of $75,000 of its trust fund, loaned last year by acting Gov ernor Milt Simms and the state treas urer, Harry Ross, as the state loan board, and indorsed by the state land commissioner Wm. A. Moeur, while Governor Campbell was in the north part of the state, it has become known. Presumably the action of the two members of the loan board was based on report from the field men of the state land office. "We consider" their report said, that "this land is easily worth $150 per acre, if reclaim ed in manner contemplated by appli- cant"
 Not one cent of the $5,00O that the 15 applicants each received has ever been spent in the improvement of the different parcels of land on which they received money from the state, it is said.
 Some idea of the real value of this land can be gleaned from the fact that similar land in the same vicinity was purchased with Santa Fe scrip, which at the time had market value of $500 per acre, and school section in close proximity was appraised by the state land department and sold for $500 per acre.

GEORGE KEYES OF WINSLOW
 DIES UNDER OPERATION

George H. Reyes Jr., vice-president of the Bank of Winslow, died in Los Angeles, word to that effect being re- ceived in Holbrook Thursday morning. MT. Reyes left Winslow a few. days ago for the coast to have an operation performed, and it is said that he never recovered from the ordeal. Mir. Reyes was an old-timer in this part of the country, having been connected with the bank for many years. He was one of the best bankers in this part of the country and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him, having many warm friends in Hol- brook who will be grieved to learn of his demise. Announcement has not been made when the funeral will take place, though it is likely that he will be inferred in Winslow.

She hadn't heard of her old uncle off stubbing around in the rocks of the Rockies, and l hadn't ever heard that anyone related to me had ever married and was out there living under another name. Your paper introduced us to each other. I just thought you might like to know about it."

MORALES MAN MISTAKEN
 FOR DEER, IS SHOT

Cam Periente, a miner living in the Patagonia district, was shot and prob ably fatally wounded by A. R. Bor- ough, of Bisbee, who mistook Periente for a deer. Physicians at the army hospital at Camp Stephen D. Little, where Periente was taken after he was wounded, said he probably would die.
 Borough and R. B. Verfurth, also of Bisbee, were hunting deer with Per iente when the accident happened. Borough, mistaking Periente for a deer in the brush, fired, striking his companion in the neck. It took three hours to transport the wounded man on a burro to point where an auto mobile could be secured to rush him to a hospital.

 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
HOW A BRUTE REPAID
 HIS BENEFACTOR

Adolph Steiner, charged with com mitting a statutory crime in abusing the 6-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. A. w. Burk, of Nutrioso, is an inmate of the county jail. County At torney Greer was at Nutrioso Monday when the facts of the outrage became known and the fiend responsible was quickly removed to the county jail otherwise he might have been lynched and if the story as reported is true, it seems rather too bad that he was not.
 Steiner tramped his way into Apache county from the railroad a few months ago, and little is known about him. He had a crippled leg and was broke, and in that condition ap- piled to MT. Burk for work. He got it, and a place to eat and sleep--a home. And this is his payment to his gener- ous benefactor! He is 23 years old St. Johns Observer.
