PREPARING LISTS OF
 ARIZONA SOLDIERS

Repairing sin of omission of the war session of the third legislature by its failure to enact law provid- ing for the registration of Arizona men in the world war, the bill hay ing passed in one house and failing in the other, the offices of the state his torian and the adjutant general are collaborating on data for such list.
 There are in the office of the adju- tant general 12,000 cards bearing the names of all the men who entered the service from this state. These cards are being arranged in alphabetical order, dividing the names of those in the three branches of the service, the army the navy and the marines. There is further segregation of those killed and those who were spec ially distinguished in the service.
 There will be outlined also those who were engaged in civilian war work, in the council of defense and like bodies. Amplification will be made in the historians records for the in- clusion of the service of Arizona men beginning with the guard in the civil war, the Indian wars and in the Span ish war. It is estimated that the lists alone will fill 800 book pages.

ARIZONA'S TAX RATE
 FIXED AT B CENTS

Arizona's tax rate has jumped 251a cents on every hundred dollars proper ty valuation as the result of the Economy" session of the state board of equalization, which body has been meeting for the. past eight days. The new tax rate will he 73 cents per $1OO, as against 471s cents last year.
 Decrease of $54, ,000,0 ,000, or approx imately 6 per cent, in the value of taxable property in the state is re- corded in the finding of the board, made public last night, the total valu- ation being $830, ,000, ,0000, compared to $8S4 100000 for the previous year. Surprise was expected in some quar- ters that the tax rate was not set at a higher figure. Many persons looked for a 75 cents per $100 announce ment.
 Elimination of the industrial com mission, through court decision that the law creating it was unconstitution- al, and disclosure that funds for voca- tional education would be necessary enabled the board to lower the tax rate somewhat. $15L,000 was to have been raised for the former and there remains a material un expended bal ance for the latter frori the previous appropriation of $341,0W sufficient to conduct the work in the state. Reduction of 12A per cent in the taxable value of irrigated lands, an advance of half over t,e cut recom- mended by the board of supervisors was announced for Maricopa county. The board of supervisor; has urged a % per cent slash on the S182 per acre figure of last year.
 The following chang,,s were made in livestock assessments last year: Cattle, reduced from $3C to $25; sheep, from $S to S5; goats, from $4 to $3. The assessor and boarl of equaliza- tion of Maricopa county had reduced by from 20 per cent tt' 25 per cent the valuations of all lIinds of live stock last year. The sate board re- stored these figures to the average throughout the state.

STAMP PRINTER MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE IN
 NATIONAL CITY BANK

New York was introduced to the postage meter--a machine which makes every man his own stamp printer and does away with the nec- essity of sticking them on. The Ma tional City bank has the first one ex- hibited in New York.
 The machine, recently approved by the postoffice department, prints on the letters in a little square about the size of a stamp, in which appears the words: "U. S. Postage-Paid 2 Cents.
 The machine is equipped with reg ister which can be set only by post office authorities. When the register shows the user has stamped as many letters as he paid for, the machine stops and has to be taken to the post office to be reset.
