ax Revision

The senate understand will employ its time batween and September 21 in mulling over the house proposals for revision of federal taxation laws The house ways and committee fol- lowed fairly closely suggestions of the president for revision To what extent the senate finance com- mittee will agree is a matter of conjecture.
 It is the White House desire that the law shall be true principle that taxation should be proportionate to ability to pay that no man shall escape his just burden and that the system shall be a to rather than dead weight upon industrial and business activity. The administration is con- vinced that the reduction of the higher income and surtax brackets to 32 per cent will produce more revenue from than is yielded under the higher percentages of the existing law. Its for believing is that present schedules dis courage transactions involve application of the higher rtes that it drives capital that might otherwise go business activity and expansion into securities that leads other evasions and even to frauds.
 While the rate of taxation corporation earn ings to be increased exemption provisions will give immunity from this tax to about 3oo,o0o so-caled "poor mems corporations" Thus ability to pay" adhered to.
 Nuisance taxes" which directly home to every consumer. to give way to manufacturers certain articles. It is proposed moreover. to raise the income tax exemption of $200o to $25o0 those whose earnings less than s5.oOo. and double the present exemption for each dependent. making it $400 instead of $200.
 married man with two children and income of s4.ooo last year had to pay $64 in income this year, assuming there deductions except the legal exemptions which the s2,000 plus $40O two children In other words, he paid per cent on $160o Under the proposed revision his exemption would be s2.500 plus $500. total of s3a0o leaving $7oo to be taxed at per cent. s2s His saving would be s64 minus s2s. $3s Thus will be seen that married supporting wife and two children and having income of as high as $500 would not pay any income tax at all.
 The manufacturers tax proposed in lieu of the nuisance taxes" if adopted. will give some Idea of how general sales tax would operate. Such a tax might serve an educational purpose that would be useful in determining whether general sales tax should be undertaken to succeed system that will be put into operation by the present congress-

Officers, clsrks and Experts

We have been looking a little closely into what had observed only casually-the complaint of of Democratic friends that citizens of Arizona are being appointed "offices" of trust and profit in contravention of the Arizona consti- tuition which offices appontive and elected to who are entitled the privilege of voting in Arizona.
 We have not changed mind but on the con- trary. confirmed in original opinion, that no aoffce" has filled by the appointment of citizen. None has been required to take oath of office is administered to recognized officers. their deputies. assistants. secretaries and clerks whose duties are ministerial administrative. No oath has ever been administered to one in the state whose duties in public office of purely clerical character except as we learned, in the office of Secretary of State Hal where the oath administered as a precaution though the secretary hardly thought 1t was necessary. If a mere clerk ship in any office in the capital is itself an office. there therefore not in the building whose oc- cupant has complied with the requirements of the relative the final qualification-the taking of the oath.
 We hardly think though that this is debateable. The case Mr. Bacchus. the so-caed budget secre- tary in the office of the governor is different from that any other clerk in this respect though the qualifications that clerkship unique, that is known there is no one else in Ari- zona who possesses them-
 Mr. Bacchus. it may be said, is not only citizen, but appointed to this office but was merely borrowed from the government of the state of Illinois to which he expects to return
 The circumstances leading up to the borrowing of him are these: When two years ago the budget system was adopted MT. Fairfield. who most accomplished accountant, made budget secretary Governor Campbell desired to retain him in that therefore regretted his candidacy for the office of state auditor srs.
 MT. Fairfield said though that budget book keeping was something entirely and should be put into the hands of entirely familiar with it, to put in the system When the great mines began to their operations and released of their expert accountants temporarily. the governor be- neved that might secure expert to install the system. But like Mr. Fairfield they said that they were unfamiliar with budget accounting.
 There only two states where the budget system had been established Wisconsin and Illinois, and on the advice of Fairfield, the governor ap piled them for the services of expert. Thus Mr. Bacchus was with some reluctance loaned to Arizona the understanding that the earliest moment, he would return to Springfield.
 His position here is much the that of expert mechanic who should be sent here superin- tend the installation of complicated and in- machinery which the state had ordered. Ger tanly such expert would hardly be regarded officer.

Our and Other caenolestes

We have been reading about the caenolestes of which of you may not have heard but good ness knows. it has been long enough the earth. three million years. to have become familiar to all of us Tn all that time it has not changed It's shape its size habits.
 The caenolestes something like rat. lately discovered in Venezuela by representatives of the Field Museum Chicago. of whose scientists Dr. wiIfred H. Osgood has written book about it and from his account learn the following about it.
 It is the only form of life that has remained changed through millions of years It is the same today as it's ancestors were in the age Of fossils.
 It has seen giants. like the dinosaurs, and so The giants vanished, turned to stone. became extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago. The caenolestes, it went serenely Its way. strange changes take place in animals nature worked her law of evolution, i It saw monkeys become men, If you believe scientists. It saw the horse. small Cat, grow large as nature prepared 1t work for man. It saw the mammoth shed its hair and become ele phant as the Ice Age ended and the climate warmer saw adventurous fish turn fins into wings and fly off as birds It saw the giraffe long neck to reach the tender twigs and leaves in tree
 It has always been matter of regret to that we could not intensely interested in scientific matters curious animal with the longest un- broken history we are not deeply concerned with the caenolestes. We find in him though type which we have all found common The caenolestes is really noth- ing new to us though did not know him by that name He has abounded in Phoenix from the earliest times; he may found in every part Of the country We inst called him an "old fossil" because had no other name for him. He man, a woman or rnavbe an institution corporation For forty, thirty or twenty years stood still his sides washed by the current of progress
 The fact that our caenolestes had remained sta- tonary for only quarter of century while the other caenolestes had remained unchanged for some mill lions of wears signfied nothing. In the general scheme of things three million years Is not such a

sanks LAND IN MEXICO

Urine and the great American invest ments in Mexico. Europe is really taking possession of the country. and it is a Europeanized Mexico that we will have to deal with within few years more.
 The opportunities for obtaining rich land in Mexico. provided you are willing to take your chances with un- stable political monditions. are prob ably not rivalled anywhere in the world. In the first place, the Mexi- can government welcomes the bona fide settler and provides him with land on extremely attractive terms. In the second place, the owners of the great land grants, who are being dis possessed of their lands by the Mexi can government under the new Mexi- can constitution, are ready to sell for a song. The man whom we are quoting obtained options on two mill lion acres of land at a dollar an acre. He asked the officials of the present Mexican administration whether, If these lands were bought by Ameri- cans, the titles would be considered good. The reply was that the gov ernment would hold the titles good. The land in question was wild land covered with forest, but rich in soil and weIl-watered. The timber on it alone was worth many times the pur- chase price. There was a scattering of mahogany of which single trees would be worth six to eight hundred dollars each laid down in New York. This mans clients did not buy on the options which he obtained. And the reason they did not buy was that a flew days after he returned from Mexico there was great radical demonstration in Mexico City. More than 5000 men marched in parade bearing the red flag of bolshevism. | Should bolshevist revolution over throw the present government. it is doubtful whether any titles to large areas of land held by non-residents would be good. These areas would probably be divided among the land | less poor. The small land owner liv- ing on his land would probably not l be molested.
 Reds Are Strong
 This growing strength of the red element in Mexico is the unknown factor in the situation, according to our informant. He says that the strength of this element has never been realized in this country. Ht points out that when a red demon stration can get 5000 men in line. and when the demonstration is carried out, red flags and all. without moles- tation, the reds are a political force to be reckoned with. On the other hand, the great estates are rapidly being broken up. and the land dis tributed in small tracts among the peons No doubt each peon who gets good farm ceases 10 be bolshevisl l forthwith and becomes a constitu- \ tionalist When all who want lanC have been given land, the extreme radicalism will be confined to the in dustrial workers in the large cities and in Mexico they are a small frac- ton of the population.
 The trouble is, according to our in formant that the breaking up of thu big estates is being carried out clum. silly and in a way that disrupts thu economic life of the country. Th' II great land owners are being dispos
 sessed of their lands without an, compensation. They move away taking their livestock and tools. Th' peons who are gwen the land hav'
