BELIEVE NARCOTIC KING
 ARRESTED IN PHOENIX RAID

Phoenix, Feb. 4-By arresting Morgan late yesterday afternoon Narcotic Inspector F. B. Barnes is of the opinion that he has taken into custody a ring leader of illicit drug dealers and one who is probably coli nected with smugglers who are bring ing cocaine and morphine out of Mex ico in large quantities.
 When arrested Morgan had on his person approximately $3.000 worth of high grade cocaine, estimated at the retailing price of one dollar grain In several envelopes which he car ried in an inside pocket of his coat Morgan had 3,S25 grains of powd cred crystal cocaine of the best grade procurable, according to Barnes
 The federal officer filed a forma complaint against his prisoner and lodged him in the county jail tc await a preliminary hearing before the United States commissioner
 The arrest was made near the cor ner of Sixth and Jackson streets yes terday afternoon immediately after a transaction had been witnessed by Barnes between Morgan and another man who was also searched and gave up an ounce Gf COca:ne

ITS UP TO US

Predictions are being made that with the coming of spring we will see western copper mines again re- opened. This is only a guess, how ever.
 Copper mines will operate when demand for the red metal can take care of production and not until then
 As a nation, we control this de- mand to large extent We are the greatest producers of copper and we should be the greatest consumers of copper.
 The dayf has arrived when we should consider building and con struction from the standpoint of per manency. Instead of temporary "shacks" in cities and towns, we should begin the erection of more structures whic ich will stand as a monument to this period of our country's history
 Copper lends itself to this class of construction. Copper in the home copper water gutters, copper down spouts, copper screens, copper in of flee buildings and more copper and brass in automobile construction would mean an early resumption of western copper mining on which to a large extent, depends our silver, zinc, lead and gold mining.
 As western people, we should all take deeper interest in the pro- blems of our mining industry which normally turns hundreds of millions of dollars over to workmen in wages.

taxpayers confronted with heavy bills for repairs
 Nothing will more quickly damage an improved highway than the CD. erating over it of a heavy truck and the faster it moves the more damage it does. For which reason passenger stages or busses moved at hign speed are almost as destructive as slow-moving freight trucks.
 Public highways have been i'm proved at large public expense. The government has borne part of the cost of construction but it bears none of the cost of repairs and upkeep.
 Some of the roads constructed only a couple of years ago are now break ing down from fast bus driving ana heavy truck loads. If this is kept up, our supposedly improved highways will be worse than before improve ment and cost of repairs will bear heavily on the already bent should CTS of the taxpayer.
 The situation has become serious and county boards or other public authorities should take immediate at tion not only to regulate the speed of passenger stages but the load Of auto trucks, as well as impose a toll, license or tax for the privilege of using improved public highways sufficient at least to balance the amount of damaee heinz done.

PIMA COUNTY TAXPAYERS
 PROMPT TO MEET BILLS

Tucson, Feb. 4-Tax delinquencies in Pima county amounted to only 1.6 per cent for the entire seven-year period between the years 1914 and 1920 inclusive, according to an an nouncement made today by Achille J. Menard, county treasurer

 Cases of back taxes requiring ac- tion by the county attorneys office have been turned over to Deputy County Attorney James D. Barry up to and including those Of 1919. The treasurer's office is now compiling hack-tax bills for 1920. to be pre- sented to Mir. Barry for action. Both the treasurer's office and the county attorneys office have cO-operated in keeping down the amount of deIiu- Menard has been county treasurer since January ]. 1919.

THE MINE RESUMPTION AND POLITICS

Two Republican newspapers have pointed with elee' to the fact that most of the mines of Arizona are preparing to resume operation under their party's state and national ad- ministrations. One of the news papers was sincere in the belief that its political organization has some thing to do with this renewal of ac- tivity, but the other was moved by facetious impulses. Each seemed to forget that the mines shut down last April, when Harding was on the jo5.
 The only thing the state admins tration ever did to affect the mining industry was to follow a course Of extravaganza that has led to. a tax burden which appreciably adds to production costs. But, even with this everincreasing tax levy, the mines could not have continued operation throughout 1921 without losses that would have put some of them out of business, says the Prescott Cour- fer
 No sane person ever sought to leave the impression that the exist ing depression was due to Harding's underlying cause antedates that time; it goes back to 1919 when the legIs- 1ative branch of the United States government for political reasons successfully tied hands of the presi- dent, isolated America from the work of world restoration at a period when international cooperation was a cry ing need. Perhaps had America put forth steadying hand to chaotlc countries across the sea when it was desired by Woodrow Wilson, condi- tions would not yet be completely stabilized, but the world now be fully two years ahead in it's march toward the eminence from which it was thrown by the war.
 If any one wishes to find in the slow return to better conditions the handiwork of the political party ln power he must go back to the begin. ming of the depression and lay the blame for it to the same party, for it must not be forgotten that the Repub- 1icans have had control of the United States government, through majori- ty in congress, since March 4, 1919 Times must get better, and no sin cere person could wish for delay, but those who are expecting anything like war time prosperity-if any there be-are headed for a disillusionment In looking for betterment, one should seek pre-war days for comparisons with what will be, not the f1oodtide period. f
 America by joining the 4-power treaty, and through other evidences reawakening to the necessity of get ting out of it's shell has given t1e whole world hope for better under standing and for more satisfactory conditions-Douglas International:

THE TRUTH ABOUT TAXATION

The movement is on for reduced taxation right down the line from national government to school dis trict
 In commenting on fight of indus tries in the state of Washington to secure a general tax reduction, de putty assessor thoroughly familiar with the situation and who is in ac cord with the idea of reducing gov ment exepense, says:
 "In our county it is not taxation any more but is getting to be con1is cation, but what is a poor assessor lature who think it is their bounden duty to get an appropriation for their district in order to get back in office and each State institution sends it's lobby to the Legislature to obtain all they can for their pet institution When the Legislature gets through | passing the pie around then the State officers have to make the levy to meet it and so on down to County affairs.
