THE TAX BILL

Business will be greatly stimulated by the pas
sage of the new tax bill according to the majority
report of the senate finance committee, in sub
mitting the bill to the upper legislative body. The
reduction of the surtax to twenty per cent, max
ing a twenty-five per cent rate for large incomes
was not done to benefit the wealthy but for va
rious economic reasons. In setting them out the
report says
ITO the extent that the larger incomes are re-
leved from excessive taxation the money must
find its way into investment in business and in
dustry with resulting benefit to the large ma
jority of the people. Business will be stimulated
and business income increase"
There seems to be a general agreement that
the tax bill ought to and will be passed in time
to give the people the benefit of the reductions
when they file their returns or before March
Is. The sooner the better. When the bill is final
ly made into law and all uncertainty is passed,
business will go ahead as usual with the promise
of even greater prosperity in the year to come.
The report urged the repeal of the tax publicity
feature and here again the recommendation will
be generally agreed with by tn vast majority of
the American people. The tax publicity feature
produced no good results and certainly the coun-
try can dispense with it.
The Coconino sun., 1926-02-12
IF THE MOUTH OF THE COLORADO COULD
ONLY SPEAK!

We don't know of any Boulder Damn Canyon
stuff than the bald statement that President
Coolidge wants the dam built there. President
Coolidge has never been at this dam site and if
he ever goes there he will wonder whether or not
it should be build of asbestos, and, whether the
people of the cooler regions expect to get steam
heat from it. If the Boulder dam proposition is
ever de-silted sufficiently to allow the eastern
members of congress to see through it, they will
come to the conclusion that dressing up the Colo
rado river for the best effect is like dressing up
a man in the morning Building the dam at the
Boulder site, away down the river, is just as SEN
sibe as the man who gets up in the morning and
puts his boots on first; ties his necktie around
his neck and hunts for his collar. Building an
empire in the southwest is great stuff, but the
idea that the great southwest must wait until Los
Angeles gets through milking the great south
west is asking too much of the great south
west. Of course Los Angeles says she is wiling
to help Arizona and the other adjoining territory
just as soon as her appetite is satisfied. But the
size of said appetite and the length of time that
it will take to satisfy it. not mentioned in the
contract Politically Arizona is in a bad fix.
There are millions of people back east who yet
think that the state of Arizona is away west of
California We don't doubt but whole lot of
people back east are under the impression that
it is one of the isolated counties in SIAM. Even
from over the river Styx Ambassador Thrun EN-
down McCluskey, it seems, has advised the Cali
fornia Ishmalities, that Governor Hunts program
has simmered down to demand for demand for
a royalty on power alone.
Just think, brethren, what the mouth of the
Colorado river could say if it could de-silt itself
and tell the truth about the politicians it has met
