TO HOLD HEARING ON
 TAX RATE 1T TUCSON

Does an emergency exist in Tucson which necessitates the city raising it's tax rate above the amount set forth by law? This is the question which the state tax commission must de- termine and one that will take the members to Tucson today, where they will hold a conference with the city council
 The formal hearing will be held Saturday. Under the new law it must be shown that an emergency exists before any amount can be levied in excess of that allowed by law, the tax commission to decide the issue. Claim has been made in Tucson that the water situation is deplorable and that drastic measures must be taken to improve conditions It Is said that s110.00o will be re- quired to make the water improve ments.
 If the commission finds that an emergency does exist it's further duty will be to decide how much will be needed to make the improvements.
 While there the commission also will meet with the Pima county board of supervisors relative to a deficiency in the road fund amount Ing to approximately $11, 900.

 As plans for the picnic are ccm- : rlcted the details will be published But the one big detail--the fact that everything is to be free and that The Republican is to be host to the kid dies just for the pleasure of playing the part one day in the year has been decided upon definitely. One cent for the United States is the single charge. and the ice cream and the lemonade and the balloons and the swimming pool and whatever else The Republican can think of dur : ing the next week are to be as free as the air. which is the way that al things should be for the heart o childhood.

WHY PHOENIX GOT
 LOW PRODUCE RATE

In a story in the Republican yes terday of the decision of an inter state commerce commission exam iner giving to Phoenix produce ship pers Class c rates, something more than they had been asked for through the Arizona Traffic association, there should have been an explanation of that unusual act of generosity. for the commission seldom goes beyond the demands o1 shippers in their con troversies with the railroads.
 That came about In this way: The commission lad previously allowed Deming. Bisbee, and Douglas Class C rates and when the similar case of Phoenix was brought up the exam iner could not do otherwise than to recommend the application of those rates to Phoenix.

FORT GRANT WATER
 SHORTAGE RELIEVED

The serious shortage of water at the Fort Grant industrial school is a thing of the past.
 J. H. Larson, superintendent of the institution. yesterday telephoned the board of directors of state insti- tutions that heavy rains had supplied :.le mountain springs with all the water necessary for domestic pur- poses.
 Two weeks ago conditions at Fort Grant were alarming. The springs had completely dried and the one well there made it necessary to guard carefully every drop of water. Water was hauled for miles and drilling additional wells was being considered when rains brought relief.

olish the constitution in 1898, the con-
stitutional party led by American set
tiers, brought about n revolution and
dethroned her. One of the first acts
of the provisional government was to
apply for annexation to the United
States. Germany was seizing islands
right and left on the Pacific, and the
Hawaiians wished to get under shell
tering wing. Politics in the United
States delayed action and in the
meantime the Republic Of Hawaii was
organized. Then in 1898, during the
Spanish American war, congress sud-
denly voted to make Hawaii American
territory.
Sixty Per Cent. of Population Asiaties
Though the Hawaiian Islands are
known as the halfway house Of the
Pacific in reality the distance from
San Francisco to Honolulu is only
about half that from Honolulu to Aus
tralia, the Philippines or Japan. All
the islands are of volcanic origin, but
coral has grown on the shores Of many
of them. The disintegrated lava has
formed a rich soil which responds
literally to irrigation. Only Cuba and
Java produce greater total crops OF
sugar and the per acre yield Of Hawaii
is the greatest in the world-four tons
without irrigation and six tons with.
The sugar crop for the year ended
June 80, 1920 was worth $7S,50O,OOO.
The pineapple crop, second in impor-
tanca, was valued ut $1S,500,000.
"One of the most interesting fea-
lures in regard TO Hawaii is the racial
makeup of it's population. The country
had an all-Hawaiian population be-
Heved to number several hundred
thousands when it first became well
known to Americans. The diseases or
civilization, including measles, killed
off a large part of them in the years
following and in 1920 there were only
$4,000 full blooded Hawaiians in the
island and about 10000 Of mixed blood.
The two groups constitute less than
IS per cent. of the 255,912 people liv-
ing in the islands in 1920. The Ameri-
cans and northern Europeans made up
about 10 per cent, the Portuguese az
proximately 91-2 and the Porto Ricans
and Spaniards about 2 1-2. The total
Caucasian population was thus little
more than 20 per cent. or only about
one-fifth of the entire population.
The japanese population was A per
cent and the Japanese, Chinese and
Filipino population together, over go
per cent"

NEW WHEAT ROUTE
Canada Ships to England
Throuoh Panama Canal.

When the digging of the Panama
Canal was first advocated many argu-
ments were advanced in favor Of the
gigantic enterprise, showing how IL
would change the currents Of trade
greatly to the advantage Of both pro-
ducer and consumer, relates the
Detroit Free Press. These arguments
have been, to a great extent, justified
since the opening of the big cut, but
one change in the drift of transporta-
ton has resulted that advocates of the
canal did not reckon with.
Wheat grown on the western prairieG
of Canada is making the early part OF
it's eastward journey in a westerly
direction. Canadian wheat is reaching
Liverpool by way of the Panama Canal.
The grain moves west to the Pacific
terminal, is loaded on ocean going
ships and proceeds around the south
ern extremity of North America on its
way to Europe. 1t was feared that
northern grain going so far south IN
the first few days of it's journey might
suffer in quality, but the first cargo
reached England in perfect condition.
This re-routing Of wheat promises 10
be of great value to Canadian grain
growers, especially those who are ex-
tending the production of wheat
further west, and it's advantages may
offset, in part ut least, the injury re-
sulting from the shutting Of Canadian
wheat out Of the United States
markets by the new tariff. In the past
wheat in the prairie provinces had 70
be rushed from the thresher in order
to catch TIE fag end Of the season OF
lake navigation or be held up all
winter at the head Of the lakes. by
the new.route the movement may con-
tinue steadily all winter with great

shorter rail haul for a large part OF
the western crop.
The Canadian government has bull

We are told that there is a thrill
which comes but once in lifetime
am wiling to accept without reserva-
ton as likely to be true Jack Joyncr's
statement that none that he ever eXpe-
rienced compared with the blood-ting-

occasion. Little more than Il STRIPPING
and looking more the boy than man, he
found himself surrounded by bearded
planters and miscellaneous townsfoll1
and acclaimed as one risen suddenly to
sure eminencc. II the govcrnorship Of
either Of the Carolinas or both had been
! offered him at that epochal moment in
! exchange for his status as a winner, he
would have been tempted to spurn it
as altogcther too trivial and inconse-
quential for one of his large import
ance. Such is the enthusiasm OF
youth.
The sweep Of years since that day
has brought silver to the Joyner tenn
pies and one might expect that general
sophistication and multiple successes
had eliminated the ebullicnt element
but it hasn't. In the purc'y physical
aspects of demonstration he may dis
play fewer agile antics than in his
youth, but vocally and with respect to
the rhythm of his diversified eXclama-
tions he is n wonder.
A Trainer Thirty Seven Years.
Joyner has been trainer for thirty
seven years. Not infrequently he has
shakedown in his training quarters
and sleeps near his charges. He has
never ceased to enjoy their companion
ship. 1t has always been his habit to
talk sort Of confidentially of his hopes
and fears to his horses and in a pecu-
liar equine sense he believes that they
get" what he says. His cup of joy
would overflow if they could but tax
things over with him. A horses view
point of a race in which he has taken
part would be an invaluable addition
to the literature of the turf
Joyner saddled his first winner as
trainer in 1884 at Saratoga, when the
likely 3-year- old flly Rosierre took the
stakes. Since that time there has not
been a race meet Of consequence in
which he has not figured. He has
served the most important stables in
the country and enjoyed the conf
dences and friendships of the leaders
Of the turf. His salary has always
been larger than a star baseball
players, and his honorariums aggre-
gate a small fortune in themselves. He
