s. p. PAYS MOST TAXES IN
STATE DECLARES AGENT

TUCSON, Feb. 27.-The South
ern Pacific railroad is now the
largest individual taxpayer in
Arizona.
This was the announcement
node by H. B. Harding Of Ell
Paso, land and tax agent Of the
Southern Pacific for Arizona,
Nsw Mexico and West Texas.
Accompanied by his assistant, J.
A. McNabb, also Of Ell Paso,
Harding is in Tucson for a few
days, going over problems .con-
nected with state and county,
taxation.
THE Southern Pacific railroad
paid more than 100000 in taxes
in 1885," Harding said. "This
was on an assessment Of about
$4,000, 900.
In the entire country the
Southern Pacific system in 1925
paid a total of approximately 21,-
100000 in taxes. Regularly the
system pays from 46 to sd per
cent of entire net income in tax
es."
Death and taxes are the only
two certain things Of life, the
copy book say Harding would
modify this, as far as his rail-
road is concerned, to read:
"Death and HIGHER taxes"
etc.
"Taxes go up every year with

ZINC AND LEAD HELP
SELL MINES NOW AS
DEMAND INCREASES

PRESCOTT, Feb. 27.-Anyone
with a good lead and zinc show
ing can sell his property today
easier than the man with copper
property. lead is at present
prices 80 per cent higher than in
the last pre-war year, zinc at %
per cent higher, while copper is
10 per cent lower.
The demand for lead and zinc
increases in consumption in a
Worldwide commercial way each
morth-the warehouse supply be-
ing depleted each month. New
uses for these metals are con-
stantly being discovered, now new
deposits of any size, are being
opened to meet the, increased de-
nlands.
The survey of the mineral re-
siurces of Yavapai county, dis
closes the fact that the great ma
jority of the mines that will be
opened by capital, through scien-
tiflc mining methods. will be
heavy producers of lead and zinc
ores, with gold and silver values
to practically cover the cost Of
production. The recent entry of
prominent financiers into big
mining enterprises Of a highly
prospective nature, and the pur-
chase by two big mining com.
panies of properties IN Yavapai
county, is convincing proof that

A CHALLENGE

In spite of the fact that she lost
the contest last Saturday night, we
still contend that Mrs. Salogines is
better packer than Mrs. Myers, and
stand ready to back our Judgment
and we hereby challenge Mrs. Myers
to another contest. Mrs. Salogines
lost the last contest through the mis-
take in packing 163 instead of $50 ap-
rles as the rules provided. This made
it necessary for her to pack 13 more
apples. At the close of the contest
l;l1e lacked 9 apples of finishing her
1863 pack. According to the rules,
this gave her AZ points for speed
against so for Mrs. Myers. In align
ment and wrap Mrs. Salogines re-
ceived score of 48 against 40 for
Mrs. Myers. The judges, however,
awarded the contest to Mrs. Myers
on account OF Mrs. Salogines' error
in starting the pack for larger Num-
Der Of apples. We hope another con-
test can be arranged, so that the ques-
ton of who is the best packer can be
decided on it's merits and we stand
ready to back our packer.

JONES, HILL, SHEPHERD, KEENE,
FORSYTH, HAWLEY, DEBOW,
BRIGGS, BEARDSLEY, WIN

An almost perfect fall day brought
out, almost record vote at the elec-
ton in Benton County Tuesday A
good deal of interest was taken in
many of the contests but it centered
chiefly around the race for state rep
resentative. M. M. Moulton, sticker
candidate, made strong run but lost
to Knute Hill by 116 votes, according
to the unofficial count. The stickers
somewhat confused the voters and
Mr.. Moulton lost five votes in the
White Bluffs precinct because the
e;tickers were not placed in the right
place and it is probable that in some
Of the other precincts he lost a pro-
portionate number of votes. Ira C..
Hawley made remarkably good run
for commissioner from this district
for man who was not widely known
in the county and was an easy winner
over A. E. Whan and S. M. Brisco,
cminces respectively on the demo-
cratic and progressive tickets.
Lots of interest was also taken in
the race for United States Senator.
Backers of A. Scott Bullitt were loud
in their claims that their candidate
would win and the Jones supporters
were really scared. Bullitt took the
lead in the early returns from the con-
gested districts in the state but Jones;
total rolled up as the returns began
coming in from the rural districts and
smaller towns.
Harry Forsyth ana Malcolm Nc
Dcugal ran close race for treasurer.
Both of these men stood well all over
the county and many voter had a
hard time making choice,
An attempt was made to run a
sticker cand date against R. H.
Briggs, commissioner from the Ken
llewick district, but it did not get very
far.

WINS PACKING CONTEST

Mrs. R. Fl. Myers won the apple
packing contest over Mrs. George
ISalogines at Liberty hall last Saturday
evening. Mrs. Salogines packed more
apples and had a higherscore for wrap
and alignment. hut because she start
ed her pack for 163 apples when the
rules called for $50, the judges award
ed the contest to Mrs. Myers. Be-
cause of this error on Mrs. Salogines'
part, the result was not generally sat
isfactory and an effort is being made
to stage another contest.

POTATOES DISEASES MATERI
ALLY REDUCE YIELD

Many potato growers do not seem
to realize the irnportan of planting
certified seed stock. There should be
no hesitancy about buying certified
stock just because it is somewhat
higher in price than the ordinary
seed. 1t is general rule in all seeds
that the more expensive seed, because
OF it's higher quality, is in reality, tie
tab growers could see the great care
exercised and the expense involved in
producing certified potato seed they
would readily urde-stand and be will
ing to pay the increase in prize Of this
seed stock over just "any seed.
The Irrigation Branch Experiment
Station at Prcsser, Washington car
ried on work this PAST season with
reed stick from various sources. One
object of this experiment was to de-
termine the effect OF diseased and
weak plants on yield. The Melted
Gem variety of potatoes was used and
particular care taken to give all the
plots as near the same culture prac
tise throughout the season as pos
siblc.
During the first week in August
each plot was carefully checked owe,
for diseased and weak plants, and
given rating according to percentage
Of normal plants. The first Of Octo
her the plots were all dug, serted and
weighed and again rated, but this time
for yield. As was expected the plots
lined up tie same in both instances,
g. e.) the plot having the highest per-
centage of normal plants had the
highest yield of potatoes and vice
versa. Out of the ten plots that con-
tinued this project there was only one
contradictory result and in this in
stance the amount was very slight
The point to be taken is that when
yield is lowered because OF diseased
seed stock, as it was shown to do in
these cases, the grower reduces his
risk of short crop considerably by
Planting certified seed stock, because
in certified seed disease is reduced
to measure minimum.

Hohcnzollern Dynasty Political Fights Are Far From Ended

Berlin, Nov. R-F'urther politi- cal discussions centering about the Hohenzollerns, Germany's former ruling family, are likely to develop soon in the reichstag, the Landtag and the press.
 The Taegliche Rundschau, one of whose editors is close to the Hohen- zollerns, says it is now confirmed that Prince oscar, the ex-kaisers son, some time ago sent a friendly letter with some cigarettes to War her I.orenz while he was under ar rest with Karl kaltdorf on a charge of plotting to issasainate Foreign Minister Stresemann.
 The two men were acquitted on Oct. 20, the court expressing the opinion that they were braggarts who could not be taken seriously.
 The Taegliche Rundscau says that when the story about Prince Oscars action was first reported, it was not believed.
 Unfortunately it develops that the story was really true,' it adds, and the letter of Prince Oscar &C., companying the cigarettes is genu- inc. We must state these facts, as the incident will be discussed fur ther, and it must be expected that lively political discussions will en- sue"

HEAVY VOTE IN MASS.
Chilly Weather Does not Deter Electorate from Coming Out in 
 Bay State Today

Boston, Nov. 2.-PrCitizens of Massachusetts marched to the polls in force today to choose a governor and other state officers, a United States senator, and congressman. Unusually heavy early voting was reported from nearly all sections of the state. A rush of voters to the polls was reported in and around Boston.
 Early voting in Worcester was the heaviest in years and county towns also were casting heavy vote. In Springfield the first few precincts reported an unusually heavy vote.
 In New Bedford the early morn ing activity at the polling places in- dicated a big vote. Balloting in the first few hours was heavy.
 The early heavy balloting was carried out in spite of chilly weather that blanketed much of the state and despite the fact that the wealth CT forecaster last night predicted light rain.
 One third of the total registered vote in Lynn was pollcd during the first two hours of voting this morn- ing. Approximately 1000 votes cast. out of a total of 34,000, established a new record for early voting in that city.
 At Belmont, the home town of Attorney General Jay R. Benton, the latter reported 33 per cent of the total vote boiled at 9:S0 this morning. Benon estimated that 90 per cent of the total registered vote would be cast before the polls clos ed,
