TAX AS CAMPAIGN
 ISSUE IS ACCEPTED.
Senator Simmons Picks Up.
 Presidents Challenge

Washington, June 5.--Presidcnt CUoidgc's recent statement that the new income tax rates would throttle business initiative and new enterprises and similar declarations by Secretary Mellon, were sharply denied by Scna- tor Simmons, ranking democrat of the finance committee, who asserted that treasury figures showed that the President and the secretary were wrong.
 Forming the argument that invcs- tors would rush to tax free securities only "bogy" and stoutly claiming that the income tax rates he had writ ten into the bill would actually release more money to industry than the Mel lon plan. Senator Simmons accused President Coolidge of attacking con- gres through bitterness over the de- feat of the. administration program.
 Tax revision as a campaign issue would be hailed with gladness by the democrats, the senator said, broadly intimating that congress was sure it reflected the wishes of the country when il amended the tax bill at it did.
 Business Relieved, Walsh Says.
 Without making a direct allusion to the presidents statement, senator Walsh of Massachusetts. democrat, in the course of speech today resented charges that congress had done little or nothing to relieve business and wealth of the crushing war taxation
 He declared that on the other hand fha Sin saved s424.SO0,000 to individual sur tax payers and s2,24i,20O,OOO 10 cora, porations.
 .'G doubt if any country has ever lfHde in such a short period of time following war such substantial re- auctions as this record shows" he said.
 The president and Mir. Mellon" said Senator simmons, "evidently die hard. It was to be expected. after their strenuous efforts in behalf of the Mel lon plan, that they would be some what resentful; not to say humliated, at its emphatic repudiation by the representatives Of the people in both branches of the congress. But 1t was not to be expected tsat tho president would make the signing of the bill an occasion for q quasi-political speech | and an ill-discussed attempt to justify i this discreditod Mellon scheme by an l indirect assault upon the congress.
 "ManifcstiN the president and sec i rotary nf the treasury found it hard ! to endure tho thought that their pct i plan had been rejected and a demo- cratic plan submitted by a republican congress.
 An "Ixiihition af Chagrin"
 ''The presidents statement advances no new arguments or facts. It is merely an adroit and clever recapi- tulation Of the overworked propa- gsnda in favor of the Mellon plan. By many it will be regarded as some what painful exhibition of disappoint- ment and chagrin, and by others as a shrewd political move to play both ends against.
 Like the statements which have heretofore emanatcd from Mir. Mellon. the statement of the president consists largely Of a general statement based upon assumed facts. Both carefully avoid any statement of the evidence upon which their assumptions are based"

FINE SCENIC ROAD TO SHORTEN
TRIP TO THE GRAND CANYON

HORSE SPRINGS, N. M.--One Of
the most beautiful scenic highways in
the southwest is now being built ny
the United States forest service and
bureau Of public roads.
Beginning about 12 miles from Re
serve, N. NJ, in Seliz canyon it ex-
tends almost due south crossing deep
canyons, trimming around steep noun
tainsides, passing through tall pines
and heavy timber, to the San Fran
cisco river, a few miles from Alma,
n. NJ.
This short stretch Of highway will
connect the northern and southern
parts OF western New Mexico and
eastern Arizona. 1t will form a con-
Meeting link beteen the National Old
Trails highway at Springerville, Ariz.,
and Datil, N. NJ, and the Dorderland
route at Silver City and Deming.
Three construction camps and a
corps Of engineers are busy clearing
off the right-of-way and blasting
down the mountainsides in actual con-
struction.
For anglers and lovers of the OUT
dGcrs, this scenic route will open a
new paradise. The San Francisco ard
ella rivers are alive with mountain
fishes, while the canyons and forests
are full of the ideal camping places.
A new and shorter route will be
opened from El Paso to the Grand
Canyon by way of Reserve, Luna and
Springerville.
There will be no especial thrill in
scenery, but one continued change as
one rolls up and down and around the
gentle slopes and winding curves. The
great rolling doors of the mountains
and canyons will continually open in
front ard close behind as the car
moves around the grades.

where officers ascertained they were
travelling on foot in auto ruts, an oc-

The big land slide, which has block

tunnel on the Miani-Superior million
dollar highway will be cleared in
about three days so cars and stages
can get through, according to esti-

recent rains, contains about 1900
yards of muck. There are several
smaller slides to the east but they
do not block the road. The roof Of
the tunnel has not caved and by
climbing over the slide a person can
walk through. The Union stage autho-
rites said mail would be taken to
the tunnel by individuals and loaded
on stages on the west side bound

KING OF HOBOES ON HIS
SIXTH TOUR OF WORLD

Jeff Davis, world wide King Of Ho-
boes, was in Phoenix all last week.
The story of Jeff Davis life is a
complete romance and some of the
incidents he relates shows that he is
a deep student of human nature, a
profound philosopher and an optimist.
But above all he is an American and
during his stay in Phoenix Jeff
preached Americanism in his inim-
table way.
70 understand Jeff Davis one must
first know the story of his life. The
biggest things in his career are the
five trips around the world and his
worlds record of having "bummed"
his way 825, ,000 miles in his 27 years
on the road.
Is president Of the National Hobo
association, which is now paying his
expenses, Davis is touring the country
lecturing to boys in particular. He
IS campaigning against hoboisrn, for
he says it does not pay. And of all
men, the king Of hoboes should know.
His experiences may sound Ike fic-
ton, but he says the place of the
youth is at home, the place where de-
mocracy inevitably begins.
Davis has a large collection Of Gre
dentials which are articles from every
paper Of national prominence printed
in this country. in addition to many
interesting articles printed in smaller
journals.
Davis has called on every president
since Mckinley. He has been enter
tanned by 200 Rotarians, 100 Kiwanis
and SO Lions clubs.
Only recently Davis called ct the
White House and received a "hand
out" from the back door Of the presi-
Dental home, where he was given a
delicious sandwich. He has met all
the kings, queens and dukes of the
European countries. He has appear
ed in 100000 feet of news films.
One Of the most interesting features
Of his career is his proprietorship of
the nationally known Hotels de Gink,
for hoboes. But Davis has closed them
all in order to try and stop hoboing.
During his career Jeff Davis has spo-
ken to twelve million school children,
two million of whom have heard him
since the first OF January, when he
started OF his speaking tour.
DufiHS llie Ndf Ming Jell sOIu over
fifteen million dollars worth of Liber-
ty bonds, four million in war savings
stamps, made four thousand speeches
for the Red Cross, aided the Saliva
ton Army, Y. NJ. C. A., K. of C. and
ether government work. Because Of
health he was rejected for service but
gave his time freely without cost all
during the war, and his letters and
book full Of credentials prove it.

Demand has been made by Receiv-

nent OH the capital stock of the
Stoclnnan's State bank of st. Johns.
The superior court has adjudged the
bank insolvent and has determined its

on a normal stock par value of S40,-
