The following account of prepara- tions which are being made to devei- ope immense iron deposits in the Eagle mountains. 45 miles east of Phoenix which have been acquired by the Southern Pacific company and which are said to contain not less than 5o0,- 100000 tons of ore, is taken from the Los Angeles Times. The ore is said to be high grade hematite and is to be mined in conjunction with manga nese ores in deposits owned by the same company in Riverside county, California.
 Large and important deposits of iron ore have been discovered, ex- plored, surveyed and acquired by the same interests that owned and sold to F.. H. Hartman and the Southern Pacific the Eagle mountain deposits of approximately 10o,000,000 tons, now in Southern Pacific control; and the new beds may have an important bear ing on development of steel manufac- ture in Southern California, upon which the industrial heart of this re- zion is concentrating desire and ef- fort.
 The prospectors, engineers and the present controllers of the new prop erty are Legene S. Barnes of Long Beach, who has successfully concluded the Hartman negotiations in 1909, to- gether with Marcus Pluth. R. H. Cox and c. F. r1soberts of Los Angeles, who are proceeding according to an an- nouncement made yesterday to mo- bilize within their control all the re- maining iron ore deposits accessible, to- gether with colzing coal interests in Washington, into practical working entente for the construction and opera tion of steel making plant on the coast The syndicate has prospects for it's disposition to a syndicate oi eastern capitalists.
 The new ores are comprised in a range of mountains in western Arizo- ma and are known to the present own- CTS as the 'tPixes Peak Deposits The ore, which is exposed for several miles has been all laid under claim; it has been surveyed and tested by the sink ing of over 75 test shafts and ha' been declared by geologists and engi- neers to hold a total of not less thar 50O,o00.000 tons of ore. although tn present owners are satisfied with al

The other day a stranger arrived near the town of Tempe and acted in such manner that citizens who observed him suspected him of being boot lesger. In fact he is reported to have said he was being pursued by officers who believed or thought they on the trail illicit dispenser of alco- holic liquors. The man left the he had been driving and struck out the fields. An inves- ugaton of the car found the cargo consist of S4 bottles of liquid called tequila which rapidly be- coming a national beverage and which under stand has received the stamp of approval of a re- spectabe minority of the members of the legislature of Arizona few of them enthusiastically ap- proving t that they are called "tequila houndse
 These circumstances have said duccd the observers of the mysterious stranger well the pursuers along his trail to jump at the conclusion that he was bootlegger. His abandonment of his trusty Ford alone would be suspicious but what say of the conduct of q who will voluntarily wrench himself away from seven dozen bottles of tequila, willing Iy deprive himself of its exhiarating the same time soothing influence? stil, the man may have some reasonable explanation of incident which argues if not erimnally, at least. insanity

To the Editor:
 Much has been said and written re- garding the county unit bill now be- fore the legislature. The bill is being fostered by several city school superln- tendents and by the present state sup erintendent of schools and is being op- posed as it has been in the past by the smaller schools which claim, and per- haps justly that it takes away from the latter the individuality and independ- ence which our present school laws permit.

lMPERTINENT.

There was an amusing ending Of
a civil case tried in Wyoming court.
1t was an appeal case and on one
side was testy lawyer and on the
other number of inexperienced at
torneys. The arguments on both
sides had been heard and the case
closed for judgment.
Suddenly one of the inexperienced
lawyers got up and addressed the
court once more. The testy lawyer
stood it for a moment, but losing pa
tience, he also rose and addressed
the court in this wise:
Your honor, would beg with all
respect to point out to the court that
my learned friend opposite is entire
ly out of order in addressing the
court, and if | may be permitted to
say so, the court has no right to be
listening to him"
The court, who at that time was
writing, put his head out in a bellig-
erent way and said: "Mr. Smith, it
is a great piece Of impertinence on
your part, to assume that the court
is listening to him. ."-Philadelphia

May. The House will open hearings
soon after the tariff bill gets through
the House. 1t is expected these hear
ings will be completed through the
House by the time the Senate COM
pletes its hearings on the tariff ques-
tionS.
The success of any taxation system
depends upon the business condition
of the country. Where business is
stagnant tax receipts fall off. The
amount of tax therefore must depend
largely upon the amount of business
transacted.
Tariff legislation is designed to
promote the business condition of the
country. 1t looks to the protection
policy that enables the fullest invest
ment of American capital in the best
employment Of American labor, upon
scale Of wage to insure and main
tain an American standard of living
AT the same time it provides revenue
for the expenses of the government
The amount of revenue from this
source under the present law was
$685., 100000 this year. Under the
proposed law it should reach at least
S5OO,OOO,O00.
Logically it was decided that tariff
legislation should come first.
CD 1t would offer a basis for tax.
~ 1t always interrupts business,
the sooner it is enacted the soonel
business will settle.
(3) Tariff relief can begin at once,
tax relief will take effect next year.
This character Of legislation is
more difficult than in any period Of
the past. The condition of Europe
complicates the problem. Foreign
exchange, due largely to an almost
hopeless money imitation where gold
as a basis has been abandoned for
mere paper, makes tariff legislation
upon scientific basis almost i'm
possible. How to frame the law to
protect our own industries from coun-
tries, like Germany, paying one-sixth
what we pay for labor, and still not
interfere with those countries in their
struggle to get on their feet is new
in tariff legislation.
The draft Of bill containing near
ly one thousand paragraphs, and sew
eral thousand items, nearly thous-
and of them never considered in any
previous tariff measure since they
were developed here while the war
embargo was on, and many Of these
items involving acute differences,
cannot be made without time to ma

Work Of Congress
| Explained By Fess
TARIFF AND TAX LEGISLATION ARE
BUT PART OF GREAT TASK UN-
DERTAKEN BY REPUBLICANS

Washington, July lS.-How con-
gress is working out the greatest re-
construction problem in the history
of the United States is told by Chair
man Simeon D. Fess, of the National
Republican Congressional Commit
tee, in statement issued today. He
says:
Tariff legislation absorbs the time
of the session that enacts it. From
the day of the passage of the Under
wood bill it was known that it would
have to be repealed. Before the year
that saw its passage was ended, gen.
eral stagnation and paralysis Of en-
terprise was upon us. The European
War alone saved the sponsors from
defeat, by operating as the most ef-
fective protection possible.
When the Republicans were re-
turned to power, the Committee on
Ways and Means at once, even be-
fore Harding was inaugurated, began
to hold hearings upon the question.
AS soon as these we're completed
the emergency tariff act was brought
before the House and in due time
passed the Senate. 1t was defeated
by a Presidential veto from Wilson.
After the Inauguration of Harding
this measure was reintroduced. II
was broadened somewhat so as to
protect our industries by aid of an
anti-dumping clause. 1t passed the
House April IS and the Senate May
llth in amended form. 1t was agreed
to in conference and approved by
President Harding May 9th.
In the meantime, the committee
worked upon the permanent tariff
bill, having submitted separate sched-
ules to subcommittee. After weeks
of the most continuous and arduous
labor the full committee has COM
pleted the final draft. The measure
will require the most of July for its
consideration in the House when it
will go to the Senate and be referred
to the Finance Committee, which will
open hearings upon it. While this
committee is conducting these hear
ings the Ways and Means Committee
will take up the other pressing ques-
tions.
The chief and all-important ques-
ton for Congress is the revision of
the tax system. The Senate Finance
Committee conducted hearings on
this question during the month Of
