Nit Simms Named
 in Indictment; to
 Be Tried Oct. 23rd

Nit Simms, former secretary of state is facing a charge of conspiracy as a result of an indictment returned by special grand jury early in the week. The indictment of Simms be- came known Wednesday afternoon when he appeared before Judge R. c. Stanford in the criminal division of the superior court in Phoenix and pc titioned for a separate trial.
 The conspiracy charge grows out of a loan made by the state farm land board on about 12,000 acres of land situated near Maricopa. At the time the loan was made, the action against SimmS alleges, he was acting as gov ernor in the absence of Thomas E. Campbell, then absent from the state.
 Simms is alleged to have approved the loan on the parcel Of land. This land was abnormally appraised by the state farm loan board, of which Simms was a member, the complaint brought by the grand jurors alleges.
 Simms petition for separated trial was granted by Judge Stanford and the hearing of the case will take place Monday Oct. 23.
 When seen in Phoenix Wednesday night, Simms was unwilling to discuss the case, declaring that he preferred to wait until the trial, but issued the following statement:
 T heard that l had been indicted by the grand jury in connection with a state loan. I immediately came to Phoenix and waived all demurrers and formalities and demanded an immedi- ate trial, which was granted and the hearing of the case set for Oct 23. am absolutely innocent of the charge. welcome thorough investigation of my public record. do not fear the re suit. Justice always will prevail. I al so welcome a jury trial and will de mand vindication at the hands of a Maricopa county jury"

 Best Solution of
 Taxation Problem

That no reduction in taxation need be expected until inefficiency and waste in governmental functions shall have ceased was the tenor of a short address by T. o. McGrath to the Bis bee Luncheon Club at it's regular luncheon yesterday. McGrath returned recently from a meeting of the Ma tional Tax Association held in Mil waukee last month, this association being made up of members of the var ious state tax commissions together with tax experts from various parts of the country. He told the Luncheon Club that the tax problem can only be solved by ecjnjmy in public expendi- lures, the limitation of bond issues to short term bonds. and the elimination of tax exempt securities. There were the conclusions reached by the asso- citation, and McGrath elaborated upon the various angles of each.
