COL. MITCHELL
CAN'T SPEAK
War Department Refuses to
Grant Fighting Colonel
Permission

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. The
war department decided Friday to
refuse to grant Colonel William
Mitchell permission to go to Balti-
more where he had been invited
to make an address.
1t was explained that Colonel
Mitchell was Under investigation
with view to disciplinary proceed
ings of a serious nature.
An officer in that status would
be subject to military arrest I'M
der normal circumstances and while
it has not been found necessary to
go to that length in the case of
Colonel Mitchell, it was indicated
at the department that he would be
required to remain in Washington
and subject to the orders of the
inspector general of the army until
the investigation is completed
The invitation to Colonel Mitch
ell to speak in Baltimore came from
the American Legion organizations
in that city and ne field an aprli-
cation with the war department
for permission to make the trip.
While the official decision still
is to be made, it appeared probable
Friday that no punitive measures
would be taken against Colonel
Mitchell for his refusal to qualify
as a witness before the naval
court inquiring into the Shenandoah
disaster.
The only concrete development
in the case was the formal certifi-
cation of the facts to the war de-
partment by the navy department.
This, the navy leaves the first step
to the army, while high officials
in that service take the unofficial
view that the issue rests squarely
with the navy court.
Should the war department so
notify the navy department the
court still would have it's remedy
possibly in the federal courts, but
some naval officials believed that
since Colonel Mitchell already is
facing army court martial proceed
ings, the incident of his refusal to
appear before the naval court
should be regarded as closed.

STATE TAX RATE TO
HIT new HIGH SPOT

The sum of $3,773,219.82 is the
amount that will have to be raised by
direct taxation ir,sArizona this year, 1T
is shown by the official general fund
budget filed by State Auditor Wayne
Hubbs with the state tax commission.
This figure, taken in conjunction
with the total assessed valuation OF
the state, announced Saturday as
S642 ,967 ,O42, gives grounds for The
belief that the tax rate for 1925 will
be in the neighboFhood of rs cents on
the hundred dollars. The gross total
of the general fund budget is placed
by the auditor at $4,340, ,774.28, from
which certain deductions are made.
These include an item of $78,917.11,
representing cash balances on hand
July /, and $500,25O estimated re-
ceipts for the year. This last figure,
however, is offset by an item for Sill
612.65 for unappropriated estimates,
including the expenses of special
election and interest on debt, two mat
stcrs overlooked by the Legislature
From these figures is derived the $3,-
773,21O.82 representing the amount to
be raised by direct taxation.
This figure does not include the uni
versity mill tax or the 10-cent road
lew. both of which items have to be
considered in working out the tax
rate.
In explanation of the budget fig
ures. Auditor Hubbs called attention
to the fact that about $220,000 repre-
sents increases to the capital invest
ment funds of the various state insti,
tutions and in addition to $275, ,00t
appropriation for the completion Of
the university library at Tucson. The
large number of relief bills covering
personal injury cases passed by the
last legislature also tended to increase
state expense, it was stated.
The state tax rate last year was 81
cents and eight mills, and in 1928
the highest tax rate in the history Of
Arizona up to the present time--tht
rate was 81 cents and five mills. Thus
the rate for 1926 will set new higl
mark in state taxation rates in Ari
Zona.

GRAND CANYON COMPANY
MUST REMOVE ALL FENCES


The United States won and lost
some of its contentious in suit to
evict the Grand Canyon Cattle COM
pany from numerous possessions 1T
has claimed in the great 80, ,O00-acre
grass land park north of the Colorado
river, when Judge F. C. Jacobs in
federal court signed voluminous
record of findings of fact and conclus-
ions Of law. By these findings the
government is given the mandatory
injunction compelling the cattle COM
pany to destroy two great fence lines
which with Vermillion Cliffs and the
gorge of the Grand Canyon form the
boundaries of a huge enclosure where
! thousands of head of cattle have been
ranged by the company.
The rights of the company to a
number of springs and pipe lines by
which water is transported in some
/ instances as much as five miles for
watering cattle, remains as before un-
der these findings.
! This case, suit of long standing
and tremendous variety of detail, has
been pressed by the general land Of
flee at Salt Lake, where southern
Utah cattlemen and northern Arizona
sheep and cattle interests have been
registering complaints that the fences
have blocked them from their inherent
rights to the use of the public domain.
I The issues were tried at two one-week
sessions separated by court recess at
Phoenix last spring. Judge Jacobs
findings will be translated this week
into a decree setting forth the rights
of the parties.
The erection of the fences COM
planned of took place more than two
decades ago and was shared by "Buf-
lfalo" Jones, famous breeder of bison
who had large grazing ground in
that section.

FARMER ORGANIZATION
WANTS PUBLIC LANDS FREE

Fort Collins, Colo.-Entire revision
of the governments regulation OF
grazing on national forest and public
domain with recommendations that a
separate bureau to administer graz
ing on public lands and that public
lands be turned back to the states for
administration purposes were advo-
Gated by speakers at the opening ses-
sion of the third annual western re-
gionaI farm bureau conference at
Fort Collins.
H. ]. King of Laramie, Wyo., presi-
dent of the Wyoming state farm bu-
reau, declared that under the present
system of administering grazing lands
only small portion of the money
paid in the grazing fees goes to
states which contribute most heavily
in this manner. He recommended tc
the conference that it urge the return
of public grazing lands to states fol
administration.
The recommendation that sepa-
rate bureau be established to admin
lister public lands grazing instead Of
having it come under two separate
bureaus as at present, was made bs
j. d. Yaeger, president of the Nevada
state farm bureau.

eron Jr., and % other persons are
named as defendants in the suit, which

tered upon fraudulently. A court or
der was entered at the time of the
filing of the complaint requiring the
defendants to appear in court on
October IL and plead, answer or de-
mur to the complaint.
The complaint in the case alleges
that the claims were filed uponby the
defendants for the purpose of utilizing
the water and water-power resources
of the Colorado river and the storage
dam and power damsites of the adj
joining lands.

ARIZONA SUPERVISORS
TALK ABOUT TAXES

Delinquent taxes, the rs per cent
highway fund and the county budget
system were the main topics of discus
sion at the meeting of the Arizona
Supervisors association held at Doug
las, Monday. Gov. George w. P.
Hunt opened the meeting with brief
address, following which committees
on resolutions, Legislative matters and
general policy were appointed to re-
port Tuesday. A representative
group of supervisors and clerks from
practically every county in the state
was present.
Governor Hunt attacked the critics
of the state highway department in
his address and decried the SUPPOSE
ton that any department of govern
ment can be taken out of politics. He
terms politics simply "the science of
government" and stated that when a
department is customarily taken out
Of politics it means simply handing its
control from one group of officials to
another.
In the latter part of his speech he
lauded the highways of the state and
recalled how much had been done in
spite of bad business conditions, the
war and the drouth. The state high
way system today consists of 1000
miles of roads, whereas when Arizona
was granted statehood there was not
one mile of modern road in its borders,
the governor asserted.

SUES CADY LUMBER co.
FOR HUSBANDS DEATH

Mrs. Ceola jackson is suing the W..
nj. Cady Lumber Co. for $4,000
damages for the death of her husband,
Albert Jackson, and the case bids fair
to be hard-fought one. Attorneys
in the case conferred with Judge
Jacobs this week and the upshot of it
was that there was move to delay
the trial, which had previously been
set for Tuesday at Prescott before a
jury that has been having short va
cation.
The case is most interesting one.
Jackson was employed by the COM
pany and living with his wife in a
company cottage, according to the pa
pers on file. There is dispute in the
pleadings about the origin of move
by company men to prevent Jackson
from leaving the cottage and taking
the furniture by the COM
pany-with him.
1t is said that the guards approach
ed the place and were confronted by
both Jackson and his wife, armed. One
of the guards shot jackson.
B For his death Mrs. Jackson asks
$4,000 actual and $4,000 punitive
damages from the company.
