ing mines. But another profit, in
amount several times greater than
the said net balance, and accruing
from the manufacturing and market
ing of the copper, can not be taken
by the tax commission as a factor N
evaluating Arizona copper mines.
To circumvent the legal and COM
mercial impediments to the utlliza-
ton of the said manufacturing and
marketing profits as factors IN estl-
mating values of copper properties
for taxation purposes, form of occu-
pational tax, based upon the Mime
sofa law can be adopted by Arizona
and applied to copper. This would
yield an additional tax revenue which,
when added to the present tax derlv--
ed from the copper industry would
produce a total tax on the copper in
dustry of the state more commen-
surate with the full value of the cop
per metal leaving the state and with
the taxable values now assigned TO
other properties.
The Minnesota occupational tax IS
applicable to all metals profitably pro-
duced in that state. Likewise the
Arizona occupational tax might be OF
equal scope Owners of mining claims
and non-producing mines would not
be effected adversely by an Arizona
occupational tax but on the contrary
would benefit therefrom.
The Minnesota occupational tax
Yields, under the present 6 per cent
on the net profit basis, $4 100000 per
L. from
showing an operating profit. Nom
producing and improbable proper
ties do not pay taxes under this law.
Such revised and higher taxation
will be accepted as reasonable IN
this state when we take note of the
records which show that from the
beginning of mining to the present
Arizona has produced and sent forth
into the world 9,000,000,000 pounds
of copper metal. This has been con-
verted into all conceivable commercial
forms and If we encompass all COM
mercial profits thereon in the consery-
ative estimate of % cents per pound
we are reminded that states and coun-
tries other than Arizona already have
profited from Arizona copper to the
extent of at least $2,250,00O, 200,
whereas Arizona for the same period
has collected from its copper mines
only about $40,O00,000 in taxes, and
besides this we must not forget that
copper is practically indestructible
and that the 9,OO0,0O0,000 pounds and
the pounds to follow will be taxed and
produce revenues for governments OF
other states over time into the future
almost without end, but the burdens
of the Arizona farmer and cattlemen
and other Arizonans will not be
lightened by such taxation in foreign
states.

Gently signed up contract to handle
his eye and hay fever remedy on

already handling large number OF
remedies.
Judge Shea has had the formula
for this eye remedy for twenty years
and during the past few years hun
dreds of people have used it locally.
Shortly after the war bottle was
sent to King Albert Of Belgium and
the queen who used it, sent a fine let
ter of appreciation to Judge Shea.
Judge Shea is a great booster for
Kingman and Mohave county and re-
gardless of any outside interests will

BORROWERS PETITION
BANKERS ASSOCIATION

We. the depositors and borrowers in
banks and trust companies Of Arizona
respectfully request our Arizona
Bankers association in convention as
sembled, at Tucson, Arizona, October
26th and 27th, 1928, to consider our
experiences, views and recommends
tions as condensed in the following
memorial addressed to our bankers
and trustees:
Whereas: We take note that during
the period from 1920 to 1923, in three
wears, the assigned values of assess
able properties within the state OF
Arizona deprecated in the total OF
$187 100000, being decline OF about
rs per cent over all.
We have recognized and felt the
strain thereby imposed upon the
banking system and upon US.
We take note that the territory, now
state of Arizona, has produced and
shipped 9,000,000,000 pounds of cop
per metal and that out Of this metal
other states and countries have prof
tied in amounts equivalent to several
times the total assessed value of the
state of Arizona.
We ask: Is this fair division, or
is it an unfair division?
We take note that transportation
rates applicable to products OF Ar1-
zona farms, ranges and to merchan
disc. are higher than those Of other
states, and that this condition more
or less completely annuls commercial
advantages such as are usually ENJOY
ed by other states from interstate
trade.
We believe, over a long period OF
time, in fact, from the beginning
there has been an undue drain upon
Arizona resources without reasonable
compensating benefits, and that this
has aggravated the present financial
depression to menacing degree, pre-
venting our banking system adequate
ly to serve borrowers and deposltors.
We direct attention to Nevada, de-
pleted, exhausted, as warning to
Arizona, Goth states being subject te
like commercial practices.
We believe our banking system Is
the best instrumentallty for a deep
study of the methods of commerce as
applied to Arizona and that such
study will disclose extraordinarily un-
fair discrimination against our Ari-
zona banking system which discrimin-
alton in turn is passed on by banking
institutions to borrowers and depos-
itors.
We believe depositors and borrow
ers of Arizona banks and trust COM
panies must be recognized as the
| foundation of the Arizona banking
system, and that the bankers are our
trustees with open minds to the rec
concentrations of depositors and bor-
rowers to the end of improvements
and safety of our banking system.
4 Wherefore, be it resolved, that we,
1 the borrowers and depositors Of Ari-
zona banks and trust companies,
urge our bankers in convention as
sembled, to appoint representative
committee supplied with adequate
/ funds for the purpose of making a
comprehensive study of commerce as
/ affecting Arizona and the influence
\ thereof upon our Arizona banking
system and upon the welfare of bor-
rowers and depositers, and that this
committee in addition thereto inquire
4 into the causes cf the several bank
failures with view of providing re-
lief for depositors and borrowers OF
banks that have failed.

JAPS PROTEST LAW
BARRING THEM OFF
CALIFORNIA LANDS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Japan
has made formal representations to-
the United States am counting to a
laws Of California and other west
ern states, it was learned on rel1a-
BILE authority here today.
The protest is understood to have
been made in a communication deliv-
cred to the state department by AM
bassador Hanihara. the Japanese
envoy in Washington.
This step by Japan follows close
1y upon the recent decision of the
United States supreme court con-
firmirg the constitutionality Of the
western laws barring Japanese from
holding land in any way in those
states for agricultural purposes
The Japanese communication is
not understood to protest against
the opinions of the supreme court
themselves, but to object to the sit
uation that results from the courts
decisions.
The protest from Japan, accord
ing to the view in some quarters
here, is the natural consequence and
climax to the long history of the
western anti-alen land legislation,
as the diplomatic correspondence
that previously has passed between
the United States and Japan on this
subject has foreshadowed such a
step as the present note from Toxic.
The American government has not
replied to the japanese note, but is
expected to do SO in the near future.
