AppLewhite Reat41irn1s That to
Collect Delinquent Tax IN All
Counties Would Finance State

In another statement issued last
night S. P. Applewhite, president
of the Cochise County Taxpayers as
sociation, again declares that the col
lection of delinquent taxes, especially
in Maricopa county, would place the
state on a firm financial basis and
eliminate the deem for the proposed
$1,5O0,OOO issue of tax anticipation
bonds.
Vernon S. Wright, state treasurer,
in replying to Applewhite's first
statement, pointed out that the pres
ent tax laws require either the is
suance of bonds or the registering
of warrants, due to the fact that
the tax moneys are not received un-
til five months after the states eX-
penses for the fiscal year have COM
menced.
Answering this communication
Thursday night Applewhite said:

Chairman watson OF the
interstate commerce commission
committee who was White House
dinner guest tonight, w. w. At
terbury, president of the Pennsyl-
yania and delegation of heads OF
railroad unions including d. y.
Robertson, w. N. Doak and b. M.
Jewell, with Donald r. Richberg, at
torney for the labor organizations,
were among those who discussed
the matter with the president.
Later Alfred P. Thomas, council
for the Association of Railway ex-
ecutives. who conferred with the
president yesterday Joined with
the Richberg in making public a
statement declaring that railroad
employers and employees had reached
an agreement on legislation to
create board of meditation Tor
railroad labor disputes, with pro-
visions for arbitration in case medi-
tation is unsuccessful, and also to
authorize the president to institute
investigation by a special board IN
case of threatened disturbance. The
statement made no reference to
abolition of the railroad labor board
although this was understood to be
implied in the proposal. The state
ment summarized the provisions of
the bill as follows:
"First, that it shall be the duty
of the parties to exert every rea-
sonable effort to make and maintain
agreements.
second, any and all disputes
shall be first considered in confer
erfce between the parties directly
interested.
Third, adjustment boards shall be
established by agreement, which
shall be either between an indivi-
dual carrier and its employees, or
regional, or national. These adjust
ment boards will have jurisdiction
over any disputes relating to griev-
ances or to the Interpretation or ap-
but will have no jurisdiction over
changes in rates of pay, rules or
working conditions.
Fourth, a board of meditation is
created, to consist of five mmebers
appointed by the president, by and
with the advice and consent of the
senate, with the duty to intervene
at the request of either party or on
it's own motion, in any unsettled
labor dispute.
Fifth, boards of arbitration are
provided for, when both parties con-
sent to arbitration, also the method
of selecting members of the boards
and the arbitration procedure. Any
award made by the United States
and shall become a judgment of the
court binding upon the parties.
sixth, in the event that dispute
between a carrier and it's employees
is not settled under any of the
foregoing methods, provision is made
that the board of meditation, if in
it's judgment the dispute threatens
to substantially interrupt interstate
commerce, shall notify the president,
who is thereupon authorized, in his
discretion, to create board to
investigate and report to the presi-
dent, within 80 days from the date
of the creation of such a board and
for 80 days after it has made it's
report to the president, no change
except by agreement shall be made
by the parties to the controversy in
the conditions out of which the dis
pute arose.

"Mr. Wright replies to rather than
answers my assertion that if the
Estate of Arizona and the county of
Maricopa especially-in which county
there is a tax delinquency of more
than one and oneZhalf million dollars
would collect said delinquent taxes
there would be sufficient funds in
the state treasury to place Arizona
on sound financial basis and re-
move the necessity of borrowing
money by mortgaging the said taxes. :.
According to Mr.. Wright the
amount to be raised by the sale of
anticipation bonds is $1,500,000, where
as the total tax delinquency in the
state of Arizona is in the neighbor-
hood of $4,0O0,O00. And as previous

OUR PROGRESS
By Garrett p. Serviss

; be usefully pondered upon: Our
great achievements hitherto have
been principally the result of the
efforts Of individuals: but now
there are indications that prog
Yess is beginning to depend more
and more upon the combined
action OF great numbers Of in
diViduals. They seem to foretell
the gradual rise OF a. grander
and more powerful personality
than the most gifted individual
could possibly be, the rise of
humanity as an organic whole,
a complex individual uniting the
best qualities of the entire race.
Involves No Progress
This is by no means the same
kind of unified action that we
see going on in colonies of ants
or hives of bees. That has no
element that could be called spirit
ual, 1t involves no progress or
improvement. 1t is simply
yoking together of large num-
bers of individuals. all doing the
same kind of work in the same
manner, like gangs OF slaves
CIIdIllcO LOSSLHGT OH the TOWiII6
bench of ancient galleys.
But the idea that human prog
ress seems to be following is
quite a different thing. 1t sup
posed each person to make an
individual contribution, consistent
and accordant with the contribu
tons Of others. yet stamped with
certain originality growing out
Of his own personal qualities. 1t
recognizes. and indeed is based
upon. the diversity of human gifts.
which when properly co-ordinated
strengthen one, another. What
may be called the psyschic power
gains through this unity In action
Of a vast number Of individuals.
Psychology is full of strange in
stances which suggest the exist
ence Of such a force.
Then the question remains is
this progress the fulfillment Of a
definite purpose entertained by
a power in or above humanity,
whose nature is not compre-
hended by physical, mechanical
and chemical laws, but which is
capable of utilizing those laws?
| cannot see why anybody should
not prefer that that, IL possible,
should be so.

I do not know what the actual
