INCREASE IN UNITED STATES.
ORIENT TRADE

very encouraging report is that
rendered by ]. H. Num- of the Divis-
ian OF Regional Information, U. s.
Department Of Commerce. who shows
That combined export and import
trade of the United States with the
Far East during May of thiseyear
amounted to $164,933 900, an inetease
of s14,012,000. or s3 per cent. over
the valuation Of that trade in MAY
year ago, when 1T totaled $150,921,-
600. The May total was, however.
sSS,421,o0o. or 1879 percent, under
that Of April, 1926, when 1t amounted
to s203.354,OoO.
The decline in the May total trade
from April figures is attributed
largely to seasonal dizziness, over
stocked markets in Japan and the
Dutch East Indies, the uncertainty
OF the monsoon in India and unset
tied exchange conditions which
existed in certain markets and which
tnterfered with forward orders to
them.
Exports to the Far East in May,
1926, amounted to s56,335o0O, an in
crease of $11,750,0O0, or rs per cent,
ever the s44,5S5.0o total Of May,
last year. but decline of sS,949, 900,
or 1871 per cent, under the 5,2S4, 900
total Of April, 1926.
~ May, 1925, imports from the Far
East totaled S108,59S,0O0 and rep
resented an advance of $2,262, 900, or
per cent, over the receipts in May.
year ago, when they amounted to
$f06,3S6.o0o. but were s29,472,0 900, or
21.2 per cent under the April, 1925,
total Of s13s,o7o.00O.
May sales of American goods to
China and the Philippines showed
little change from May, 1925, but the
remaining countries, Dutch East
Indies and New leland excepted,
consumed more exports from the
United States in ratios from 1.6 per
cent in the case Of Australia to 1921
per cent for Japan. New leland was
the only important country which
increased It's purchases over April of
this year. This increase was from
$4,000 to s375,o0o. or 900 per cent,
and was attributable to larger petro-
leum buys. Transshipments at
Hongkong were also heavier.
Preliminary returns indicate that
the Far East bought 90 per cent
more American lumber, about the
same amount of petroleum. and IA
per cent more wheat during May,
1925, than in April, but less raw cot
ton, tobacco, cigarettes, iron, and
steel machinery and automobiles.
The loss suffered was largely, in
volume. prices for the month remain
ing fairly steady. Japan remained

SUPREME COURT
HAS TAX SUIT
In ADJUSTMENT


The supreme court now has undel
advisement the matter of the right
of a superior court to issue an in
junction to restrain county tax offic-
ial from putting into force ruling
of the state tax commission i'll tax
alton matters, which has been argued
this week before the court
The case came before the supreme
court on a writ of certiorari obtain.
ed by the state tax commission and
which asked the high court to re-
view the proceedings of the superior
court of Cochise county in the case
of a taxpayer in that county against
the tax assessor and the board OF
supervisors of Cochise county i,
which an injunction was sought to
restrain them from raising the val.
uation on grazing and dry farming
lands from SO an acre to SO an acre.
The argument presented before the
supreme court on the writ of cer-
tiorari were confined entirely to
points of law and involved the ques
tion as to whether the superior court
of Cochise county had the jurisdic.
tion to issue the injunction sought.
The state in its arguments present
ed by A. r. Lynch, deputy attorney
general, held that the lower court was
without jurisdiction and that the mat.
ter was one for the higher court t.,
decide. The plaintiff. in the case,
represented by the firm of Sutter and
Roache of Bisbee, held that the lower
court did have jurisdiction.
County Attorney John r. Ross of
Cochise county attended the nearins
but took no part in the matter.
The case came up when ne state
ak commission sitting as board
Of equalization issued an order di-
recting the county assessor and the
board of supervisors of CoGhise coun-
ty to raise the valuations OH dry
farming and grazing lands from 81
an acre to SO an acre, it being held
that So an acre was too low
The county assessor in assessing
the lands, some 100000 acres COM
ing under the classification, placed
O. value of SO an acre on them. The
commission sitting as the board OF
tax equalization, held the assessment
too low and about the middle OF Aug;
ust directed that it be raised.
Suit was then started by taxpay-
er in the Cochise county court for an
injunction ana II temporary 1nJunc
tion was issued. The tax commits
sion then petitioned for a writ Oh
certiorari, questioning the right on
the lower court to hear the matter,
