TAXES HOLDING
 BACK INDUSTRY
 SAYS SPEAKER
Globe Attorney, Former Resi- dent of Bisbee, Talks to
 Local Luncheon Club

Calling attention to the natural ob- stacles which had been overcome in the development of Arizona's resour- ces and voicing a warning that man. made obstacles were hindering the future development, Clifton Mathews, Globe attorney and former resident of Bisbee, spoke to the regular weekly meeting of the Luncheon Club yester- day noon.
 Mathews told of the obstacles en- countered due to distance. engineer ing difficulties and great labor costs, and spoke of how these obstacles were overcome by the building of rail roads, the bringing in of expert en- gineering talent and in interesting out side capital. These obstacles placed by nature were overcome, said the speaker, only to have man-made ob- stacles arise which threatened to strangle industry and stop develop ment of great resources yielding great future wealth. Taxes and high freight rates were named as two of the man. made obstacles, and the speaker de clared that taxes constituted the greatest expense aside from labor now confronting industrial development. He told of one mine in the state where every man going on shift was re- quired to earn $3.10 before earning wages, and added that while it was commonly supposed that mine taxes were paid by stockholders outside the state the facts show that the workers of the state are forced to bear the high tax rate.
 Mathews spoke in a lighter vein of the labors at the conference, saying that the proceedings were both edify- ing and entertaining. He said that he was surprised when listening to the valuations placed on livestock, more particularly on mules, to find that Maricopa county's assessor had listed more asses than any other coun 'ty in the state; that when he consid. cred the fact that the mining counties of the state paid 72 per cent of the taxes and received less than half the benefit of the money raised, he was positive that assessors in the mining counties had not listed the asses in their counties.

Welcomes The Festive Cow
 and Spurns Cotton

The good old mooley-cow is coming into her own once more in Arizona; she's now nibbling alfalfa in many fields where the cotton blossoms for merly waved in the breezes that chase up and down the Gila and Salt River valleys.
 Maricopa county is now extending the glad-hand to the COW and apologiz- ing for having transferred its affec- tions several years ago to long staple cotton. Cows are apparently accept ing Maricopa's apologies, for there are 552S more milch cows there this year than last, making total for 1922 of 14,237.
 Graham county is also turning the cold shoulder on cotton, switching to alfalfa and going back into the dairy ing business stronger than ever.
 Arizona has a total of 25,O77 cows this year 537S more than last year with total valuation of $1,452.O94 Maricopa showed the lowest average valuation on milch cows, $52.97, and Yuma county the highest, $S2.

Engineer Confident
 Work to Start Soon
 on Charleston Dam

TOMBSTONE, July 27.-Geo. B. FL liott, consulting engineer of the Charleston Dam project, stopped over in Tombstone last evening enroute to Benson from Stafford and Douglas. FL liott reports that the report of the E. P. & s. w railroad survey is about completed and will soon be presented to the board of the San Pedro Water Users Association, and it will be very close to his original estimate. That the railroad expects to cooperate full ly with the project, he is satisfied. FL liott stated.
 Following the submission of the railroad survey, there is no doubt but that the bond issue election can be called by September and with the bonds practically sold beforehand, con struction can be started by January, 1923. All preliminary details, togeth- CT with adjudication of water rights, has occupied much more time than was formerly estimated, Elliott re- ports-but the project is now in such shape that with the bond election au- thorizing the sale of bonds nothing will stand in the way of starting work on the project that will irrigate 35,0O0 acres of land in the fertile San Pedro valley.
 Elliott met with the board of direct ors at Benson today at an informal meeting before continuing on to Yuma where he has an interest in a project on the Colorado river.

CARELESSNESS
 CAUSES FIRES
Capt. Tague Says e Some Schools Here Are Fire traps-How To Prevent Fires.

Carelessness is the most common cause of fires, Captain John H. Tague, inspector of the Bridgeport Fire De- tary club last night Carelessness caused a fire loss of $485, 5,000,000 in this country last year, Captain Tague said.
 For Bridgeport theatres, Captain Tague had only words of praise but he said he considered some of the older public schools nothing less than fire traps. He ascribed Bridgeport's low per capita fire loss of s1.05 last year to a kindly Providence and the efficient work of local fire fighters.
 Other speakers at the dinner were United Congregational church, who told of his trip abroad last summer, and W. N. Northcott. general secre- tary of the Y. M. c. A, who describ- ed the work of the Northeastern uni versity.
 This being Fire Prevention Week, the Bridgeport Chamber of Com merce has issued the following rules designed to reduce fire hazards in the home:
 Defective Chirnneys.
 "Before starting fires for the win ter, it is important that careful at tention be given to the chimneys and hues for if they are neglected, the
 charred embers merely because of such lack of care. During the five years ending 1920, property valued in excess of S12,000,0O0 was destroyed
 annually as the result of defective chimneys and f1ues. The larger part of this loss could have been prevented if an inspection had been made, soot cleaned out, and the necessary repairs made before the fire was built In the | fall.
 Oily Mops.
 "Oils and gasoline take their annuai | toll of destruction because some one l uses them care1eSSly or ignorantly. Kerosene or gasolene is dangerous assistant when starting a fire in the 1 stove or furnace. Oily mops or rags | often cause fires from spontaneous | combustion. They should therefore be always kept in metal containers. Electric lighting and heating ap- paratus should be carefully installed and frequently inspected. Electricity 1 900 loss annually during the five year period ending 120.
 Disorder and untidiness breed | fires. Careful attention should there | fore be given by the householder to | the removal of all rubbish from eel | lars. attics and cupboards. l Open Lights. | "An open lights in a home should l be properly protected Care should 1 be taken that curtains or other in- | f1ammable material can not blow into | the frame of the gas light Screens l should be placed in front of open fire l places so that no one can accidentally | get his clothes in contact with the | flame.
 1 Lighted matches. cigar or cIgar- 1 cite butts should be properly dis 1 posed of.
 "Hot water. not fires. should be | used to thaw frozen water pipes."
