TAX RATE WILL BE FIXED
SOON; CALL HEARINGS

BISBEE. Aug with the tenth
annual tax conference matter OF
history. the state tax commission is
now making plans 10 sit during the
first week in August as the state
board OF equalization. The sessions
will begin in Phoenix at $50 o'clock
on Monday morning. Aug. :, and will
continue each day thereafter for a
week During the week the tax com
mission will fix the state tax rate TO

purposes.
Several OF the larger companies OF
the state. including a number of the
mining companies. have already made
application 10 the board for bearings
before the board OF equalization with
reference to the valuations placed by
the comm ission on their properties
Most Of these companies have been
granted hearings during the week OF
equalization. as il is at this point that
the commission hears all complaints
on valuations
The tax commission, sitting as the
state board Of equalization, will go
over the valuations of the different
classes Of property in each county as
assessed by the county assessors and
will endeavor to equalize these valu-
atoms as to the various classes Of
property in order that each class may
be assessed as nearly uniform in each
county as is possible. In doing this.
it may be necessary for the commits
sion to raise or lower some of the
valuations made by the assessors on
the various classes OF property.
The commission as a board Of equal
ization also will pass on the equali-
zstions made by the board OF county
Supervisors when those bodies sat as
county board of equalization. Any
reductions or raises the county boards
of equalization have made in the val
uations will be scrutinized by the tax
commission as the state board of
equalization and will be either allow
ed or changed.

SiTE,YY SAYS HAYDEN AFTER
VISIT TO DIAMOND CREEK

PEACH SPRINGS. Ariz.. Aug. g.
"a have seen a real power site" said
Congressman Carl Hayden on his re-
turn from the Colorado river today.
THE narrowness OF the canyon, the
short depth TO bedrock, the solid
granite abutments and the proximity
to railroad transportation all COM
bine 10 make il certain that the Dia-
mond Creek site will be used for the
creation of hydro-electric energy. l
am pleased to have had the oppor
tunity to see this natural resource
the development of which means so
much to the state of Arizona. new
er have heard of any part of the
United States that had too much
cheap power and l am confident that
a survey of the situation will demon
strate that an ample market will be
found for all Of the electric current
that can be generated at Diamond
creek and at any other dam which
may be constructed by the federal
government on the lower Colorado
river.
Mr. Hayden's trip from Peach
Springs TO the Colorado river at the
mouth of Diamond creek and return
was easily accomplished in one day
although the difference in altitude
between the two places is s.400 feet.
The Arizona congressman was &C
companied by James B. Grand. Of
Phoenix. who has been at work on
the development OF this project for
the past ten years and who has ap-
piled TO the federal power commission
for q license TO build the Diamond
creek power plant If Mr. Girand's
application is granted. he will obtain
5eyear lease of this power site at
the end of which the government may
take over the power plant and ap
purtenances by paying for the fair
value Of the improvements.

Iays-the whole gang Of them talking
for Frelinghuysen. And where did he
finish? They knew him--you see what
/ mean? What did Edwards do? He
simply went TO the Jersey voters, picked
up a quart bottle, and the voters came
with a rush. tell you, gentlemen, you
can't beat the man with the bottle. one
quart bottle carries more authority with
it than does all the oratory or an entire
Cabinet.
Nov Trelinghuysen had plenty OF
bottles. l suppose he has more bottles
than any other man in Jersey, but he
made the mistake OF opening them Tor
the Cabinet instead OF the voters we
not only lose the services OF a congenial
host and Senator but one of the best
