that IL dozen brooms a day are be-
ing produced.
The company was taken over re-
Gently by Frederic White and B. ".
Won Senden, as president and vice.
president, respectively. One of their
first steps was to take out firm mem
bership in the Arizona Industrial
Congress.
The company is the only manufac-
turer of brooms in the state, and was
formed with the idea of supplying
the entire stae with it's products. Its
factory has a capacity of 100 dozen
day, which would more than take
care of all demands in Arizona.
Officials of the company reported
today that operating at full produc-
tion the factory would consume the
crop of 1000 acres of broom corn
annually, which would make il a
factor in agriculture as well as busi-
ness. They expressed the belief
that profitable broom corn market
also could be worked I'D in Cali
fornia, owing to the. fact that the
Arizona corn is of the highest grade
obtainable. This also is largely re-
sponsible for the high quality of the
Arizona brooms as compared with
those shipped in

word be sent to Mr. De Atley who
with his family was staying at the
West place. Mrs. West being his aunt.
De Atley, who was working in a near

He said West was absolutely calm,
that he sat with his rifle in hand and
said he would never leave the place.
He said he would not molest the cor

him but the latter refused and with
his wife and two children left the

SCIENTIFIC TARIFF
IS LATEST IDEA Of
NEW JERSEY SOLOV

WASHINGTON. June 21.--Tech-
nically the tariff bill was before the
senate today, but there was no action
upon any part of it and it came in
for only brief discussion. This was
in connection with an amendment Of
fered by Senator Frelinghuysen, Re
publican of New Jersey, proposing to
set up the machinery looking TO the
enactment hereafter of a scientific
tariff"
Under the terms of the amend
ment which is understood to have
some support on both sides of the
chamber, the tariff commission would
be increased to 10 members, appoint
ed by the president for life and would
be authorized to investigate the diff
ference in conversion costs in the
United States and abroad, and to
recommend tariff rates sufficient to
cover the cost.
The commissioners would receive
sauaries of $12, 600 each and would be
empowered to employ necessary ex-
pert assistants. This amendment
proposes an appropriation of $1,000
600 to cover investigation costs and 1t
would require the commission to rec
ommend new tariff rates by Dec. i,
1923, and every six months thereafter,
in such cases as it found that the
rates in force were higher or lower
than the differences between CONVEX
sion costs.
