Every item Is Carefully Checked by
the Clerk and Master With the
Present acknowledgement to Be
Long Drawn Out Case.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
One of the longest, most exhaustive
and comprehensive reports ever made
in the chancery court was that filed
by Clerk and Master. Mora B. Fariss
in the case of the city of Columbia
VS.. the. estate of the late JUICE
Ephraim E., Erwin, former city re
corder.r This case had been referred
to the clerk and master to ascertain
and report, whether or not settlements
hSdliSgllarly been made between the
Iategisfprder and city authorities and
if so whether they had been duly adj
mitted to the records ppd were fopnat
ly approved. ~ y 2"
In his long and exhaustive report
covering several hundred pages the
clerk and MASTER Sets out the record
of these settlements and shows from
the records of the city's minutes that
settlements were annually made by
the late Judge Erwin from 1904 up to
the year of his death with the board
of mayor and aldermen. These settle
ments were entered upon the records.
The clerk and master also sets out
the audits that were made of the
books and reports of Judge Erwin by
the late Major John T. Williamson,
and also by Auditor Frierson. The
various questions that were referred
TO the clerk are fully answered in his
report.
In order to guard against error, Mr.
Fariss had the present recorder of
the city, Judge f. Ewing Ramon,
check the items in the report with
those that appear upon the records of
the city.
This case is scheduled to be decided
In the chancery court during the pres.
ent term. There are a great many
questions involved and it is expected
that 1t will require some time for the
chancellor TO reach a conclusion.

OTHER ITEMS ARE DEFERRED
Rate Of Taxation Cannot Be Determin-

(From Mondays Daily Herald.)
In its report to the county court to-
day, the tax levy committee request
ed further time 10 report the levy on
the ground that it could not. be intelli-
gently made until the tax assessment
OF the county had been finally approx.
ed by the state board OF equalization.
However, the committee recommend
ed the approval OF the budget of tho
board of education and the county
high school board for teachers sala-
ries. The following is ths report made
by the committee. of which Squire
Henderson Akin Is chairman:
To the Honorable County Judge and
Members Of the Quarterly Court:
Your committee, heretofore appoint
ed to report tax levy for this year
respectfully report that after giving
the matter due consideration. we have
reached the conclusion that until the
assessment Of property Of the county
has been finally approved by the state
board Of equalization, it will be impos
sible to calculate and report the rate
necessary to raise funds for the sup
port OF the county. Therefore the
committee asks that 1t be continued to
report at such time as the final assess
ment OF the county shall have been
approved.
Your committee has given two days
Of careful consideration to the attach
ed budgets OF the county board Of edu
cation and the county high school
board, required under an act of the
recent Legislature to hatsubmitted to
this court. IN view OF the fact that
teachers are now being employed and
schools will begin next month, and
long before the next session OF this
court is held, we recommend that the
court approve the items in said bud
gets for teachers' salaries. In, the
first or county board budget this item
Is $S6,500 and in the high school bud
get. $1S,325. These sums are sub
stantially those paid last year for
teachers salaries We are convinced
that they could not be materially re-
duced without impairing the efficiency
Of the schools and we believe that
they will meet the approval of the tax.
payers for the reason that nearly ev-
cry community has asked for as much
or more than the boards have appro-
priated. Even at these figures there
are several communities In the county
that have raised or will raise many
thousands OF dollars additional to
meet the salaries Of their teachers by
private subscription.
As to the other items in the bud
gets submitted your committee makes
no recommendation at this time, since
that matter can be deferred until the
tax levy Is made without embarrass-
ing the school board.

GRAND CANYON IS
 SUBJECT IF POEM

For thine is the Kingdom of Silence,
 Thy splendor is divine And thy glory and thrill are sacred,
 Gods majesty is thine."
 This is the tribute paid the Grand Canyon by J. B. Strauss, civil engi- neer of Chicago. Mr. Strauss has sent a copy of his poem to Governor Camp bell, in which he sets forth in verse his of the Canyon.
 Grand Canyon As I stand at thy brink, Grand Canyon, And all thy beauty feel. As I gaze in thy age-old caverns, And sense what they reveal: As I rest meath thy mighty ramparts, That seem like temple walls. And seek where in thy terraced gorges, The Colorado crawls. Then I still seem to see the Titans, That in the long ago, Playful fashioned thy heights and
 chasms,
 And bid thy glory grow; And I still seem to hear the tumult. That marked thy years of birth. When they graved on thy rocks forever, The history of the Earth. Oh. majestic in truth Niagara.
 And masterful her roar; And as splendid the oceans battling, Along the crouching shore; And the beautiful coral islet,
 Surf-circled, palmed and green, And the white mantled peak that tow
 CTS.
 Ger verdant wales between. Nor forget I the Mississippi.
 Nor wond'rous Yellowstone, Nor the fiords of the mystical North
 land,
 With grandeur all their own; But the marvels of all together.
 Are commonplace to me, When I stand at thy brink. Grans Canyon, And dream thy dreams with thee. For thine is the Kingdom or Silence Thy. splendor is divine, And thy glory and thrill are sacreu' Gods majesty is thine; | In the shaft of the sunlight danclhg' Upon thy sculptured walls. Is the spirit of the Almighty; He dwells within thy halls.

OPEN SHOP DOES NOT
 DISCRIMINATE AGAINST UNION MEN, DECLARE

The fact that union men are not discriminated against under the "open shop" movement in Phoenix is stressed in the following statement by the Phoe- nix Open Shop association:
 At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Phoenix Open Shop as- sociation the attitude of several large employers of labor in the east toward the open and closed shop shop was discussed, notable among them the Bethlehem Steel company, and it was the sense of the members and officers that the public should be advised of the fact that the Phoenix Open Shop association deplores the action of some of these large employers and corpora tions who, under the guise of the open shop, are discriminating against union mechanics.
 In the campaign which was launched more than a year ago by the association in Phoenix, union and non- union men were treated equally in all matters of employment, unless the individual per sonally was not willing to work on the open shop plan.
 The American plan in industry, or the open shop. as carried out by the Phoenix Open Shop association, makes no discrimination between the man who carries a card in the union and the man who does not, the principle of the true open shop being that a man has the right as an American citizen to belong to any church, social or fra ternal organization that he may elect to ally himself with, and that in re- munerative employment he shall be paid a fair wage in proportion to his skill and ability; that he shall not be interfered with in his ambition to suc- ceed in his chosen vocation by his fel- 1 low craftsman or his employer. The fact that a workman was a mem Der of a trades union has never at any time interfered with his employment | by an open shop employer in the city | of Phoenix, unless he sought employ ment for the purpose of interfering with

CITRUS GROWERS HAD SUCCESSFU u SELLING SEASON
Promptness In Marketing Responsible For Good Prices For PrOduct-9O Carloads Shipped

Salt River valley grapefruit and orange growers have just passed through one of the most successful seasons of their experience. in spite of the fact that they contended with the usual keen competition from Califor- nia and Florida citrus growers, and with unusual and cratic marketing conditions. Through the promptness of the Arizona citrus growers. which marketed the bulk of the local orange and grapefruit crop. in getting the fruit on the market at the earliest pos sible moment, many difficulties were avoided that would have been encoun- tered if the handling of the fruit had been slow or dilatory PriceD se- cured for tne local citrus crop were higher than those of any previous vaer.
 "The years season of Arizona citrus shipping" Irwin de R. Miller. vice president and general manager of the Arizona citrus growers told a Repub- lican reporter. "has been in marked contrast to that of California. where shipment of oranges has been prac- tically forced to cease on account of the flattening out of the market.
 Arizona navel oranges commenced coming into the packing house about the middle of October" Mir. Miller con- tinued, land the first pool lasted un- til Nov. 15. A very large proportion of the fruit of our growers was sold in that pool. About 10000 field boxes were brought in, making between 2E and 30 cars of fruit. This was shipped to widely scattered eastern points, al- though two or three cities which showed a marked appreciation foi Arizona navel oranges were favored.
 Large Returns for Crop
 This pool has already returned tho grower S3 per field box and at leas 50 cents more per field box will be pait on it making a net profit to the grower of about cents per pound the largest return for practically 1; whole crop of navel oranges that VI have ever had in the valley.
 Growers who had fruit in the sec ond pool of navel oranges will be in terested to know that these will ne them slightly under cents a pound Conditions in eastern markets at tn beginning of the second pool scene, Eo uncertain that we ceased shipping them and forced the sale of this poo close to home. with the result desig mated, obtained at the very time whe California growers were netting be tween 1 and 2 cents a pound.

shared by the railroads and there are claims in for delay in transit, but what ever the outcome of these claims may be any such issue would have been avoided by prompt work on the part of the grower.
 Another reminder to the local grower is this, that when fruit is be- ing picked in a very early stage of ripe ness, it must be handled with extreme care. The slightest bruise on a green orange results in a bruised spot, not coloring and the fruit reaches the market spotted. This fault was very noticeable indeed this year and was not confined to one or two growers, but was largely shared by all.
 Packed 10000 Boxes
 "One careless picker in a crew can injure many boxes of fruit and it is impossible to eliminate all his bad work on the sorting table. Some of our cars which had made excellent time to east ern markets were reported with three to five per cent decay, which meant a l discount of 50 cents or more per box. This was not occasioned in the pack | ing house, for we found the damaged fruit in boxes in the groves, when We went out to correct this fault. We have packed to date about 10000 l making about 90 carloads, and in ad- dition have done a large local business 1 in loose boxes. We expect to ship 10 to 20 more cars of grapefruit. Navel | oranges are still being shipped l throughout the state, but will soon be finished. They will be followed by Jaffa and Mediterranean Sweet oranges for the Arizona trade.
 Seeding oranges have been picked during the whole season and while WIG have obtained excellent comparative results, we believe that we are general lily safer in holding the seedlings until the navel crop has been disposed of The first pool of seedlings brought about six cents a pound.
 "This year. as last, the Mutua Orange Distributors of California have handled our marketing and given u' excellent advice and service. In an swer to many inquiries, I should like tC state that the Citrus Sales company
 which has a retail store in Phoenix does not represent us and that we have
