Silver
is Coming Back

" mined in this country. or at least
exported from here, and comes back
with service stripe.
Used in the War.
Silver was used in the war to OH.
set German propaganda in the Far
East. While troops were holding back
the Germans in their drive on Paris IN
the spring of 1918, food of silver
offset completely the efforts OF the
Germans to stir up trouble In the Far
East. Silver dollars, idle in the vaults
Of the. United States treasury depart
ment, were melted down into bars ana
hurried across the Pacific to provide
additional cover for paper money,
about which the natives of India had
become alarmed.
The Importance Of dispelling dis
quieting reports In the Far East
about the reserves, is indicated by
the importance of silver In the econom-
ic life of the Far East. 1t is the
money of the bazaars Of India. 1t Is
the coin In which bills are paid and
purchases made, and is the coin with
which the native has been familiar
since childhood and the one bullion
in which he places implicit confidence.
The size of this outflow of silver
from the United States in the days
when it was considered necessity
to aid in winning the war may be
Judged from the figures of the direc-
tor Of the mint. In, the six years
from 1915 to- 1920, inclusive. imports
of silver Into the United States
amounted to $36s. 953. Ats, while ex
ports totaled $S13,SOS, 536, an excess
of exports over imports of $444,S75,
loss. Production Of 'silver in the
United States in the same period was
$685., 1867 500. From 1915 to 1919 in
elusive the amount of new silver
/ consumed in the arts in the United
/ States was valued at 500, 769, 6Sl.
Shortage Made Up.
The following table Of imports ant
exports indicates why it was neces
+ sary to draw upon the stock Of silve
| in the United States treasury to maxi
up the shortage, including the melting
of 27O,121, 155 silver dollars under tn

MINE DECREASE MAY
 INCREASE STATE TAX RATE

PHOENIX. April 12-With the pro gress of checking over the reports of the mines of the state on their valua- tioin. announcement comes from the state tax commissions offices that there will be a decided decrease in mining valuations compared to a year ago
 Added to this factor which will tend to increase the tax rate. is the fact that the budget to bem et oy tax lev ies is considerably larger than that of two years ago. While it is too early as yet to make anything like an ac- rate. assurance is given that the rate will be comparatively high.
 The fact that is going to be i'm pressed uopn the taxpayers this year is that the taxable resources of the state lie chiefly with the mines. De- creased earning capacity due to low copper markets is the factor that is initiating against the mines ability to carry larger share of the tax burdens While it is a fact that Ari- zona produces a valuable cotton crop. it is pointed out that the land values have not increased apace with the value of the crops produced. This fac tor. of course, entered into the com putation of the tax rate two years ago. The cotton situation this year will en- ter into the computation only insofar as the ax commission will have ot reckon with a larger percent of uncol- lectable taxes owing to the unsold cot ton crop.
 When the tax commission returns the latter part of this week or the first part Of next week. from its, inspection tour of some of the northern counties. it is expected that a more accurate estimate of the next tax rate will be able to be made
