 The national used car market re- port was adopted with a discount of 20 per cent. It was deemed advisable to allow the discount as the schedule was deemed too high and it was thought that the new report of the Twelfth federal reserve district, which will be issued shortly, will be materi- ally lower That there are many us- ed cars in the market was the report made at the meeting, at which it was decided that the assessments of new cars be cost to dealers plus freight. Motorcycles will be assessed by a similar method and trucks, because of damage to roads, will be assessed at the rate shown in the report of the used car market.
 Complaints were made by the as reports from the gas, electric and power plants.

 ES VENTS make sport of the schemes gA of mice and men. Mckinley en- tered the race for the presidency on the tariff issue, was elected on the money issue and the greatest problems that confronted him in the White House were the fate of a chain of islands off the coast of Asia and the destiny of China!
 Spain had been engaged for two years in a desolating struggle to hold In subjection the revolting island of Cuba. and two happenings pushed Mckinley into the conflict in, spite of himself. In a private letter, the Span- ish minister at Washington scoffed at the president as 'politicastro"- in plain American, ga peanut poli- tician"-and plainly intimated that the fair promises which the Spaniards fwere giving him were only a trick to fool the administration and the Amer ican people. Within a week of that exposure, the battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor, with the loss of 266 American lives.

Without waiting for ratification, the president dispatched military expe- dition to take over the Philippines, proclaiming to the revOlting FilipinOs the policy of "benevolent assimila- tiOn." The resulting war dragged it's unpleasant length for two years be- fore the inhabitants unwillingly bowed to their new master.
 It was the strange fortune of a president whose entire public life had been given exclusively 10 domestic questions to plant the flag In the dis tant Philippines and to send it to the pink walls of the Forbidden City of China. In the march on Peking for the rescue of the forgein legations from the siege of the Boxers, or Chinese revolutionists, the United States joined other powers for the first time in military expedition.
 Under the high statesmanship of John Hay, the secretary of state, the United States had already, before the Boxer rebellion, laid a restraining hand upon the nations that were footing Chinese territory and had drawn from them pledges to keep an "open door" to trade in the ports they were seiz- ing at the point of the gun. The "open door, has remained ever since the chart of our course in the East. If we will only continue to follow 1t and should succeed in inducing others to follow it while longer, until the giant of the Orient awakens from his | long sIumber and shakes off his for | eign despoilers, an emancipated China | will be the imposing monument of William McKinley's presidency.

CONF TERENCE TODAY
 ON ELECTRIC POWER

A delegation from Tucson and Florence will be in Phoenix today to hold a conference with the Water Users association relative to electric energy from the Roosevelt project. The legislature of 1919 appropriated S50000 for the construction of a transmission line from Sacaton to Florence through the Casa Grande valley, the energy to be used in Florence. at the penitentiary and by the farmers in the valley. At the time the appropriation was made the mines were absorbing all available electric power and on this account the Water Users association did not care to make an agreement to supply electricity the year around. Later the situation changed. connection be- ing made with Fossil Creek, which and Electric company at Phoenix Power was furnished the Yuma valley from California and the desire of Tucson to be coupled up led Project Engineer Cragin to call the meeting to reconsider the matter. The present | idea is for the Salt River project and Florence to couple up the Roosevelt power with future power at Casa Grande. If all the projects join it will be possible for one to supplement i the other when heavy rains occur in a water shed and not the one ad- iacent to it

 Glorietta Bay, which has become famous as the scene of the swimming and yachting activities at Tent City. has been dredged, the swimming pool deepened to an even depth and the entrance to the bay deepened and widened so that yachts and launches may have ingress and egress at all stages of the tide.

being applied to it. He emphasized the thought that the business of sell ing transportation must be looked upon in the same light as any other business-that it must afford a fair and just return on the investment while giving the public the best of possible service
 People have been prone" said MT. Clayton, ito look upon the street car business as a bonanza, in which for tunes were to be made out of the lowly nickel. The contrary has been the case. Street car systems through out the country have been forced to operate on the lowest margin of prof it's, or in many instances on no prof it's at all, while the cost of opera tion and maintenance has gone up continually and while all other lines of business were meeting increased expenses by an increased price to the consumer.
 No Profit-Poor Service.
 "Tt is unreasonable to ask the street railway company to operate at a continual loss, and it is particu- larly unreasonable when it is con sidered that operation at loss means bad service, poor equipment and un- safe tracks. It is just as unreason- able to demand that a street railway system put away any thought of req sonable profit as it is to ask the merchant to dispose of his goods at a loss. The sane way to do. in fact the only way to do, is so to cooperate with the street railway system that it may obtain a reasonable return on it's investment. Profits that may be made through this cooperation re- turn to the street car patron in any of three particular channels-better service, extensions of trackage or the reduction of the cost to the consumer of transportation.

ARIZONA METHOD IF
 MINE ASSESSMENTS
 PROVESVA LIABLE

Due to the method of assessment employed by the state tax, commits sion, mine valuations in Arizona will be substantially the same this year as when the mines were running full capacity.
 Based on an average net earning over a five-year period, the valua- ton this season still takes in the war time earnings.
 Never before has the wisdom of the tax commissions ruling come so prominently before the people as this year, when the taxpayer can read fly see the advantage of the commits sion's policy in securing the best re- suits for the state, it is said.
 With practically every mine in the state closed down or limiting em- ployes to the least possible number, the valuations would have been greatly reduced had the legislature in 1915 been successful in enacting a special mine tax l1w which was strenuously resisted by the tax com mission. The legislature proposed placing the valuation on each years operation while the commission held that such a method would result in a high valuation one year and prob ably an exceedingly low one the next.
 At that time Charles R. Howe, present chairman of the tax com mission, served on the commission as chairman and the other members were Thomas E. Campbell and c. M. Zander. The commissioners appeared before the legislature and urged the members to permit them to adopt a plan that would have the effect of stable and steady income for the state.
 This was agreed upon with the re- suit that Arizona's method is being copied by other states in the union. In a recent case before the supreme court where sulphur mines in the state of Louisiana objected to valua- ton of s54,000.000 the state was sus- tained on testimony showing that the mines were assessed by the Arizona method.
 The tax commission not only em- ploys the five-year annual net earn ing method in mines but also in ar irving. at it's valuations of railroads. telephone and telegraph companies. private car lines. and other classes of business. including banks, produce concerns. commission merchants and wholesale meat dealers.
