JOHN w. DAVIS

HTIN W. DAVIS is in my opinion
= an ideal candidate for the DEM
ocratic party. When he becomes
known to the common people of
America as he will before this cam
paign is over, he will without doubt
receive their endorsement at the
polls. l think his chances of cleo
tion are most excellent"
This statement was made recently
by Judge Samuel White of Phoenix,
a lifelong democrat whose reputa-
ton as a keen analysis of political
situations is of the highest order. 1t
is the more significant as coming
from a man who for many years has
been a personal friend and ardent ad-
mirer of William Gibbs McAdoo, as
we'll as an earnest supporter of his
in the contest for the presidential
nomination.
White made the speech Introducing
Mr. McAdoo at the monster mass
meeting held in Phoenix last May, at
which time McAdoo was endorsed in
most favorable terms and recon-
mended to the Arizona delegation to
the national convention as the candi-
date who should receive the vote of
the delegation
Judge White said: IF the dele
gates in the national convention had
been guided by the hand of Provi-
dence they could not have made a
wiser or more judicious choice than
John w. Davis.
Davis is Woodrow Wilson dem
ocrat and is inspired by all the high
idealisms of Woodrow Wilson He is
recognized as a man of high educa-
tional attainments; a man of pure and
lofty character; a lawyer of superb
ability, and in spite of his employ
ment as attorney by the Morgan in
ferests, about which the yellow press
is now so furiously yelping, he is
unalterably opposed to any form Of
special privilege in government. He
is broad and liberal in his views, and
as far from being reactionary as
he is from being a radical of the La
Toilette type.
"While Davis holds all the ideal
isms of Woodrow Wilson, yet he pos
sesses some qualifications for the
presidency which Wilson did not

STATE ADMINISTRATION

n HAT the present state administra-
tion of Arizona has proven itself
to be the most efficient, most ecoa
nomicai and altogether the most eff
fective since statehood is the convic-
ton of students of taxation and gov
ernment who have been scrutinizing
the activities of the several state de-
partments and institutions and are
in a position to know what they are
talking about.
From the governors office on down
pointive offices, say these experts,
every official, every department and
every employe of the state seems
obsessed with a keen desire to es-
tablish a record of accomplishment,
with the result that the burden of
taxation has been lessened tremen
dously.
One of the most remarkable records
of achievement in this line is pre-
urer's office, with special reference
to the collection of inheritance taxes
for the state. Revenues from this
source, it must be borne in mind, re-
duce in the same amount the money
which must be raised by direct taxa
ton to cover the operating expenses
of the state.
During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1924, Treasurer Wayne Hubbs col
lected $12S,792.6 taxes from estates
and in addition to this the sum of
$172, ,38045 is pending by reason OF
litigation, thus giving a total Of more
than 100000 as representing the
transactions of the inheritance tax
division during the past year.
During the two years COY ering Mr..
Hubbs' handling of the inheritance
tax collections, settlement has been
made from 1897 estates and total
of $20O,622 has been actually col
lected. Compare this record for a
moment with the work of all his pre-
decessors. The official records show
that from July 1, 1913, to June 80,
1922. total of 1895 cases were set
tied. while the total collections for
that entire period amounted to only
$17S,34S91.
In explanation Of these comparative
figures, Neri Osborn, Jr., inheritance
tax collector, admits that the collec-
tions under Treasurer Hubbs include
settlement for several large estates,
but points out that the volume OF
work during the last two years, as
renresented by the 1897 cases settled
is nearly as much as during the en-
tire preceding nine years.

HOLLANDS MAGAZINE

0NE Of the most popular publica-
~ tions which comes to Winslow is
Hollands Magazine, publish ed at Dali
las, Texas. Hollands is in appear
ance and text the equal of any mag
azine published in this country, and
contradicts the belief that things cul-
tural and artistic must emanate near
Park Row. Hollands has lived long
enough to justify the belief that the
southwest will continue to be the
home of this paper. Other magazines
attempted in the West have not been
so long-lived The Pacific Monthly
survived a number of years, and un-
der numerous editors and manage
ments gained considerable prestige
and large circulation, but not suf-
ficient to overcome the handicaps of
greater production cost in the west
as compared with the east. Finally
the Pacific Monthly was absorbed by
Sunset magazine, of San Francisco,
a publication of general interest and
circulation, subsidized by the South
ern Pacific railroad. 1t doubtless
would succumb without the subsidy
of the railroad. Hollands, however,
seems to appeal, through it's worth
and style, to a sufficient number of
readers and advertisers so that its
continued success is assured.
