DEPOSIT INTEREST
CUT RECOMMENDED
Committee Reports to Clear
ing House To-day on Plan
to Reduce Rates.

The latest recognition of easier money
conditions Is a proposal which the New
York Clearing House will lay to-day
before its members, and Is that certain
reductions be made In the schedule of
maximum interest rates payable on
credit balances. A committee, Of which
Seward Prosser, president of the Bank
ers Trust Company. Is chairman, has
been studying for long time the effects
OF failing money rates from the bank
ers' standpoint and has decided to
recommend a reduction of interest rates
paid by members Of the Clearing House
to their depositors. The committee will
report to-day to a full meeting of the
Clearing House Association, which will
convene at / p. NJ.
1t Is understood that the proposed
changes. II approved. would mean re-
ductions in maximum rates of Il to "
per cent, according to the different
classifications OF depositors.
| The ruling would affect all members
of the New York Clearing Association
and banks and trust companies and
others clearing through any of the MEM
bers. An important change in elassifi-
cation, as proposed, would be the segre-
| gaton of mutual savings banks and
! private individuals and corporations.
Heretofore the two classes Of deposi-
tors were treated under one head.
It is believed that the proposal to
place the mutual savings banks on
slightly better basis than are private
persons and corporations will be made.
Under the present schedule. members OF
the Clearing House are forced to pay a
maximum rate Of 2H per cent. on any
credit balance, payable on demand or in
thirty days for the account Of any bank.
trust company or other institution con-
Quoting a banking business when the
ninety day rate for commercial paper
at the Reserve Bank Of New York Is
AZ per cent. higher.
Official data on the proposed reduc-
tions were not obtainable. but it was
believed that the rate to banks and
trust companies would be lowered a
small fraction, perhaps about Il per
cent. The maximum rate to be charged
on deposits Of mutual savings banks is
| 8. per cent. but it is believed that the
reduction In that classification will be
| fairly large. The rate charge on de-
| posits of persons and corporations is
also per cent. under the present sched-
| ule.
On time deposits. payable later than
thirty days, the present interest rate
permitted is 31s per cent. but it will be
lowered. as will the rate permitted on
non-checking accounts.
The schedule of maximum interest
rates now prescribed by the Clearing
House went into effect when time loans
were being made at considerably higher
rates. The power to fix maximum rates
of interest on deposits was given to the
New York Clearing House by it's mem
bers several years ago when interest
rates paid by New York banks were ad-
vanced by competition

ARIZONA BANKS SHOW UP GOOD
 IN SPITE LULU
Reports of County Assessors Show Few Lost During Year
 on Account of Failure

The valuation of Arizona was yes terday announced by the state tax commission as $11,460,934 for this year. a loss of $11S.101 compared with last year.
 The reports of county assessors. however, revealed that the state was remarkably fortunate last year in the slight number of banks that failed. Some decrease in the state valuation it was shown, was due to the consol- idation of banks in several localities.
 There were no failures or consoli- dations in Apache county during the year. showed a decrease in valuation of $34 4.445.61 against the total for the last year.
 George R. Henshaw, Cochise county assessor, reported that the decrease in bank valuations of $S695 this year was partly due to failure of the Cen tral Bank of Wilcox.
 The valuation of the Miners & Mer- chants bank of Bisbee, was question ed by Walter Roache, for the bank, but no further protest was made after the tax commission explained what method it had used in arriving at the valuation.
 Coconino county reported the. loss of one bank through consolidation dur ing the year; but the assessed valua- tion showed an increase of S137, ,232.

Depression Forces Arizona Merchant 10 Reduce Stocks

General business depression, coup led with the curtailment Of activities in many districts because O. the dull ness of the mining industry, has for ced Arizona merchants to decrease their stocks to the minimum and dis continue dealing in many brands of goods, according to statements made by county assessors before the state tax conference here yesterday.
 The decrease in valuations in stocks of merchandise was general throughout the state, not one county showing an increase.
 The valuation of stocks in Cochise and Maricopa counties was lower than a $1 100000 lower in each county this year than last year, the assessment rolls showed.
 In Cochise county only a few small stores increased their stocks during the year. it was shown. Tn general. County Assessor Henshaw said all merchants had kept their stocks at as low figure as possible, due to the fact that business was so poor. Mer- chants, he said, were turning over stocks as rapidly as possible and do ing away with many brands of goods and specializing on fewer staple brands.
 Maricopa county merchants were faced with the same conditions, said Assessor Harry Pierce, as those in Cochise.
 Pima county reported a decrease of $477,913 in the valuation of stocks of merchandise compared with last year.
 The number of persons moving out of Cochise, Gila and Greenlee result in material decreases in the valua- tion of household and office furniture in those counties, it was reported New houses built in Pima county during the last year, and several new buildings in Maricopa county, howev- CT, offset this loss and gave the state a total increase in valuation of furn. iture and fixtures of s243,746.

the tax conference.
 The valuation of Arizona's 32,312 cars this year is $12,506,6S4. Last year 31 ,23S automobiles were assessed at $15,O35,729. The unit. or average valuation, last year was S4S1, as against $3S7 for this year. Decreases in the sale price of automobiles and the change in methods of assessment were responsible for the decrease in unit value.
 Pima county showed the largest increase during the year in number of automobiles, gaining 483 and bring ing the number for this year to 3S38. with a valuation of $1,602;357. This increase, according to Assessor Vic Griffith, was due to the purchase of new cars in Pima county and the as- sessing of automobiles brought to Tue son by winter tourists. Griffith created considerable amusement when he explained that, rather than see tourists driving around in cars bear ing eastern license tags, he made them excursion rates" in the matter of assessed valuations.
 'Id rather cut their valuation quite a bit and get some taxes for the state and county than see them pay ing no taxes" he explained. Winter tourists come to Tucson, help wear out the roads and take advantage of state and county privileges. I think they ought to help bear the tax bur den; so I tax them for as much as can get"
 Other assessors, who had apparent ly thought of such scheme, objected to Griffith's plan, but the Pima assess or good-naturedly defended it and the assessments on tourists cars stood.
 Pinal and Santa Cruz counties re- ported slight increases; Yavapai re- ported an increase of 255 cars.
 Maricopa's assessment roll showed that county had 472 cars less than last year Mohave county registered an increase of 146, Assessor Casey Jones explaining that many prospec- tors in Mohave were selling burros and buying flivvers."
 Commenting on the number of auto mobiles listed, Chairman Howe, of the tax commission, declared the fig. ures proved the merit of the new au- tomobile licensing law requiring own CTS of motor cars to secure their li- censes through the assessor of their county.

Poultry Population
 of State Increases;
 Now 26,526 Dozens
Hail the chicken!

Hall IIle CHlcheu.
 No, we refer to the feathered var iety. The chicken is entitled to be hailed with applause because he or she is rapidly increasing the feathered population of the state.
 Figures read at the tax conference yesterday showed that the state this year has 4085 dozen more chickens, turkeys and ducks than last year.
 Cochise county reported 3110 dozen poultry" of varous descriptions. This was slightly under the total for last year. but the county assessor prom ised that for 1923 Cochise was to have as many chickens on it's assessment rolls as Petaluma, Calf. Thirteen thousand little chicks, or ''peepers," !" he said, had been brought into the state during the last year, and next year these would be old enough to vote, or at least old enough for their owners to have to pay taxes on them.
 Maricopa county is also encouraging the chicken to make that county it's home, and 54S5 dozen accepted the invitation during the last year, bring | ing Maricopas poultry population to 15,45S dozen this year.
 The total poultry tabulation for the state shows 26,5S6 dozens for this year.
 The ostrich population of Arizona confined solely to Maricopa, is given as IS, decrease of under last year l The average value of an ostrich today according to assessment rolls, is only I$5.

 This Year Shows 1O74 Gain Ouer
 Last Year But Valuation Is Lower

Arizona has this year 32,23S auto mobiles on it's assessment rolls, an increase of 1924 over the number last year, but the valuation of this years cars is S2,529,094 less than the lesser number of machines last year. The reason for the decrease in valuation, in spite of the increase in number of cars. is due to a method of assessing automobiles followed by all assessors this year, it was stated yesterday at

shove dan increase of $136.293 over last year. but Assessor Duncan ex- plained that this was largely due to an error in the classification of vari- ous bank property on the last assess ment roll.
 Slight decreases in valuation were reported by Graham and Greenlee counties. The loss in Greenlee was accounted for by the consolidation of two banks.
 Maricopa county bank valuations showed a total of $3,1S1. .5S5 for 1922, compared with 3,S71 ,000 last year, a decrease of $S9,415. County Assessor Harry Pierce, of MaricOpa, reported that four banks that were not operat- ing sent in reports.
 Consolidation resulted in the loss or one bank in Mohave county, reducing the valuation from $1S5,929 for last year to $1S4,O95 for this year.
 Navajo and Pima counties reported slight decreases in valuation but no change in the number of banks Santa Cruz and Yavapai also reported oe- creases in valuation.
 Yuma lost one bank during the year the Bank of Somerton, through failure according to County Assessor A. B. Ming; Yuma's decrease in valuation was placed at $S9,134.
