FUNDS
 ADVANCED ON CAVE
 CREEK TRAIL WORK
G'rom Thursdays Daily)

An additional $500 has been grant ed the Prescott forest service to com. plete work on the Cave Crcek-New River trail through the Cave Creek district of the Prescott National for est, it was announced yesterday.
 Work on the trail, 21 miles long, revealed that it could not be com pleted with the money appropriated for its construction, unless it were routed several times across New river. The original survey routed the trail on one side only of that stream. The district office of the forest serv- ice at Albuquerque has wired the Prescott office $500 for completion of the trail according to the original survey.
 The Cave Creek-New River trail is much needed, since there are no wagon or other roads through that district, and absence Of travel facili- ties has worked hardships upon those finding it necessary to traverse the region With completion of the New River trail, this condition will be done away with.

Provision of transportation facili- ties from the old Crown King mining camp, now resuming some of its for mer productive activity through promised resumption of operations at the Crown King, Old Tiger and Wildflower mines, known as the Murphy group, by D. NJ. Locey, is forecast by announcement by H. B.

 Financial aid on the Senator road can not be given by the county, it is learned, but adequate road facilities are being provided by improvement of that stretch of the road from Hooper to Crown King. County crews have been working over this section for some time, and the road between these two points is now in first-class shape.
 The stretch from Venezia to Hooper, for which the forest service has asked $3O,OOO, will be improved as forest project and not as a com munity development. It joins the county improvement at Hooper.

fewer people were killed in 1920 than in any year since 1898. The analysis, prepared by a committee of the American Railway association, gives credit for this achievement to the combined efforts of the officers and employees of the railroads, the public and the press ill systematic safety education.
 In 1919 the ratio of passengers carried safely to passengers fatally injured was 4,529,OOO and in 1920 was 5,6730OO to one.
 Although the total number of em- ployes in railroad service has greatly increased the fatal injuries to em- ployes have steadily decreased.

ness ill sending me the brief or sylla-
 bus of specific cases giving the name
 and claim number of cases which are typical of the large number of cases
 investigated by you. I note that ex-
 soldiers with hospital records of
 from two to three years are request ing discharges from the hospital to continue treatment at home From
 my observation, the cases of various
 men differ; for example, one man for
 various reasons makes more rapid progress at home than he would in a hospital; some men are more se- rene and restful at home than in
 hospital; some men have huch an aversion to a hospital that it renders it extremely difficult to make pro greSs. It would seem to me that the public health authorities ought to all low for these differences in mems temperaments. During times of war we all perceive, ot course, that the soldier must go where he is sent by his superiors; but in times of peace, after a soldier has served his coun- try, it is my opinion that he should be allowed some voice as to the man. ner and place in which he shall re- ceive disqualification.
 T shall lay these cases before the veterans bureau and request an inn mediate and sympathetic re-reading of each case and as soon as I have any further advice from the bureau here I will notify you. It is pleas ure to try to serve you"

OLD SOL BACK ON DUTY; ROAD
 DRY, ALL WELL
Christmas Storm Was One of the Kind That Gave Plenty of Blessings Without Much of the
 Usual Accompanying Damage

Old Sol was doing his appointed chores, the creeks were subsiding, some of the mud was drying and the rest was being either cut up worse or packed down, bus service without the equine ferry was resumed by the Arizona Bus company and a few travelling persons who had not been able to get here or elsewhere were on their way. All this occurred yester- day.
 Manager Bob Byrns of the bus company had his cars making their regular schedules between here and the Verde valley, and Granite creek which had cut traffic below the post was no longer raging torrent.
 Lake Watson was filling itself thirstily. Ranchers from elsewhere, imbedded in sorrow by the experi- ences of the past two years were grudgingly admitting that the rain did a lot of good-"but what you go- ing to do when you can't sell beef?" and So, forth.
 The danger of soft tracks and washed-out bridges and culverts was passed and Santa Fe people were breathing easier, as the saying goes.
 These were aftermathS of the storm which had done world of good with a minimum of that dam age which storms in this part of the country so frequently add to their benificence.

MILLION
 WILL BE SAVED
 OVER SANTA F
Repeal of War Tax on Freight, 4 Express and Transportation
 Charges to Effect Vast Saving,
 Effective January
From Wednesdays Dailyo

The war tax" on freight, express and passenger transportation charges, leavied under provisions of the reve- nue act of 1918, IS repealed by the revenue act of 1921, effective Jan uary l, 1922, it is stated in informa- ton received at the Santa Fe railroad offices here yesterday, from coast lines headquarters of the A. T. & s. F. in Los Angeles.
 sSave Eight Million
 During the year 1922 it is esti- mated by officials of the Santa Fe that passengers and shippers over this line will save approximately $8,- OOO,OOO through the removal of war taxes.
 According to Santa Fe passenger officials during 1920 the Santa Fe paid, the government $S,38O,7O6, col lected as war tax, and it is estimated that the sum for 1921 will be ST. 5OO,0OO.
 Lifted December 31
 The tax on tickets and on freight shipments will be lifted at midnight, December B. Tickets bought be- fore that time, even though they will not be completely used before Jam uary l, will bear the tax, the unused part of which will be refunded by the government on application to the commissioner of internal revenue, Washington, D. C.
 The government has requested ticket agents not to remit any part of the tax on unused parts of tick cts, but to issue certificates which the passenger must forward to the internal revenue office for such re- bate of tax as may be done.
 Expect Slump in Sale
 Railroad officials are said to be expecting a slump in the sale of tick cts during. the last two or three days of December on account of this rul- ing of the government, as the aver age passenger would prefer, if pos sible, to delay his trip few days rather than to go to the trouble of sending rebate certificates to the in ternal revenue commissioner and waiting for return of tax money.

PAY CUT CASES

Compensation of Six Disabled Ex-Service Men Raised to Temorary Total Rating; Ash urst Takes Up Fight
CFrom Wednesdays DaiIyl

Compensation in cases of six local disabled ex-service men whose gov ernment pay had been reduced, with that of others, to such an extent as to call for protestation and action by ex-service mems organizations of this city, has been increased to tenn porary total disability rating paying $50 per month, according to word received by Buckley O'Neill post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars from the national legislative committee of that organization.
 The mems compensation, it was said by members of the joint com mittee of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars local posts, had been reduced unwarrantedly to $40 and $50 a month.
 Action on cases of three other men have been mailed to the Buckley O'Neill post by the national legisla- tive committee, and others are to follow, according to a wire from the committee.
 Ashurst Takes Up Fight
 Assurance that he will try to sc cure restorations of former compen- sation in cases of reductions which are clearly unwarranted, is given Harry Juliam, chairman of the joint investigating committee, in letter . from Senator Henry F. Ashurst, in which Senator Ashurst acknowledges receipt of information that there "has recently been such large number of compensation reductions both at Whipple Barracks and in Prescott as to amount practically to an epidemic of reductions" Senator Ashurst's let ter says in part:
