DELINQUENT TAXES YEAR 1920
 IN MARICOPA COUNTY

The delinquency in 1920 taxes, as exemplified by the condition which presents itself in Maricopa county, in solar as the state is concerned, presents serious problem, and a manifestly unjust procedure and re- suit to counties and taxpayers not delinquent in their taxes for that year.
 The assessed valuation for the year 1920 in Maricopa county was $134,- 46,541.S0 and the state taxes alone On this valuation for the same year in that county was $637,S71.06. Of this amount due only S2,603.64 was paid, leaving a balance uncollected of $255, ,06S.42 or 409o of the amount due.
 The amount 3s2,602.64, is the ac- tual contribution of Maricopa coun- ty for it's maintenance and operation of state government and it's various institutions and departments.
 The delinquency in Maricopa coun- ty of $255, ,06S, means a deficit in the state budget of that amount, conse- quently this deficit must be made up from some source. The only source apparently is by direct tax levy, con. sequently all other counties in the state must contribute through this medium to make good this, deficit
 Notwithstanding the deficit in their taxes, Maricopa county received it's just proportion of state funds, such as State Common School State Fair, Experimental Farm, Tempe Normal, State Capitol, and all Departments of state, both operating, maintenance etc. As the greater number of state institutions are located in Maricopa county that county received the res ultaat benefit. As a further illustra- ton. Maricopa contribution to the state common school funds, Chad they paid all their taXes) would az gregate $160,5990S. Being 4O% de- linquent, their contribution was $96.- 36O.00 only Notwithstanding this, they received il n the state common school fund $2S2, 2,746.25, or heir pro rata on the same basis as if they paid 1009o of their taxes, thus receiving the benefit from the counties that did not allow their taxes to become delinquent.
 Nor is this all; Every legislative appropriation. interest and redemp tion of state bonds, and anticipated bonds, to the amount of S1,500, ,000 .00 sold last March will not be propor tionally borne by Maricopa county because of it's delinquency.
 The anticipated bonds sold las March, were sold under the assump tion that the last installment of the 1920 taxes would liquidate this debt but as this anticipation has no- materialiZed, at least as far as Mari

The Board of Supervisors and the State Highway Engineer are to be congratulated upon the business like manner in which the road problems were satisfactorily adjusted at the official conference on Saturday last. Sufficient funds for the completion of the Clfton!Springerville highway, within the time limit of the contract, are now assured and work on the State Highway, known as the Mule Creek Link between Arizona and New Mexico, will commence at an early date. At the same time the Board of Supervisors in their pro- posed budget tor county expenses next year will be able to present a budget calling for approximately $54,000.00 less money than was raised last year. The Mule Creek project will be built entirely with the 75% state road funds plus Federal funds which can be allotted to this county through the office of the State Engineer. Last, but not least, the early begin ming of construction on the inter- state link will furnish work for men and teams in this county.
