OUR OFFICE HOLDING TAx-RATERs

Evidently S. P. Applewhite, president Of tn,

candidate for political office. He has suggested
that our tax laws be changed so that when dc
iinauent taxpayer pays any tax, it will be applied
to his delinquent taxes first of all. He urdoubt
edly knows from all past experience that tnt
habitual delinquent taxpayer gets compromise
for being delinquent

roll and distributed as an increased tax upon tn
poor sucker who pays his taxes when they ar.
due. -
Appewhite says Arizona's delinquent taxes 70
the fiscal year June SO, 1925, amounted to 80
939, 9,579.83.
Who pays the interest on this delinquency?
The sucker who pays his taxes when due.
Who is to blame for our being compelled to pa.
this addition tex for interest on "antlclpatlo
bonds issued to pay our state officials and stat
officials and state expenses?
ssOur elected officers who fail to do their duty,
is the only answer.
We are positive the people Of Arizona wan.
high taxes, because they voted for them But We
honestly believe they did not intend to vote for
bunch of delinquent taxpayers who only help pll'
up the rate each year.

STOCKMEN TO GET NINE
MONTHS INSTEAD OF SIX

Congressman Hayden advises that
Secretary Jardine has granted nine
months waiver of grazing fees to
stockmen instead of SIX as was first
announced. In letter to Congress
man Hayden, Secretary Jardine says:
II agree with you that the after
effects of the long continued drought
will be felt for some time by the
stockmen in the southwest. In con-
sideration of this condition and in ac-
cordance with the recommendation
Of the forest service, | have author
lized the forester to waive the fees on
all outstanding permits ending March
81, 1926, and the first payment of the
grazing fees for the grazing year,
1926.
1T is my belief that the department
should resume its normal method of
transacting business at the earliest
opportunity. The plan now being put
into effect will afford a means by
which the stockmen can adjusts their
finances so as to meet the require
ments of the department at the be-
ginning of the last half Of the grazing
wear"

OUR LIABILITY LAWS

An Ajo miner fell off pump belonging to tn
New Cornelia Copper company and has filed L
the superior court at Tucson $4,000 suit To-
personal injuries.
This follows by few days the suit filed II
Phoenix by gardener at the country club whe
was struck in the eye byta pebble while hoelng
and has sued the club for personal injury dam
ages.
One surnises such suits would not be filed were
not the personal injury employers liability law O
Arizona such as to encourage them
If anything happens co you while you are or
the conpanys property, sue the company. Ihaf
seems to be the idea.
There may be some little eXaggeration in that
but evidently not much. And while suits Of that
kind may or may not, end in victory for the
plaintiff and the recovery Of the damages he
seeks, the employer cannot escape the labor and
annoyance of defending the suit, and it will cost
him around $1,000 for attorneys fees.
Employers reasonably may be held liable for
damages if their employees are injured because OF
accidents which the employers could have forseen
and prevented but it is unfair TO subject them to
the worry and expense of defending suits based
on accidents which they could not have forseen
and could not have prevented.
The observations above are intended to be gen
era, and not relating specifically to the merits

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Trading was very quiet this week
at Boston. Manufacturers showed
little interest in the situation, and
neither worsted nor wooden mill buy
ers are operating in a normal man.
ner. There is a general desire in
textile manufacturing circles not to
do anything to excite the market or
advance prices. Producers and dis
tributors of men's-wear goods, both
suitings and overcoatings, seem to be-
lieve that the success of the coming
heavyweight season entirely depends
upon low-priced wool. Stocks of do
mestic sorts are unusually small for
the season, and holders of the little
wool remaining unsold in this market
are holding prices very firmly. As
foreign wools of similar character and
grade can be imported and sold to
compete sharply with the domestic
wools, the attitude of local holders
acts as bar to seasonable trading.
Australian markets reopen next
week, the first sale being held at
Melbourne, January a. Other markets
will reopen at various dates, and by
the second week in January all Aus
tralian markets, except Brisbane, and
the New Zealand markets will be In
full swing. Rumors continue to be
heard of contracting in the west, but
this is denied by dealers here who are
in close touch with the western situa-
tion. The annual compilation of un-
sold wool stocks is expected to show
falling off in domestic stocks, with
foreign stocks about the same as last
year Prices are nominally un-
changed.

FOR ARIZONA ON PERSONAL PROFIT?

Political prophets are now attempting to tam
per with Governor Hunts future political prog
ress. So far Governor Hunt has the long time
record in serving his state as governor for five
terms-a lot Of them hand-runnng If he can
make it six terms he has worlds record except
the one Daz made under rather different cir
cumstances. Of course, Governor Hunt has
Cleve VanDyke's monkey wrench inserted in his
political machinery Vans monkey wrench
works both ways according to his personal touch.
It is intended to loosen bolts in either party s
machinery according to developments, which will
best help one who is entirely without fussy party
principles. Being Lone Wolf for time may
be most profitable financially, but as kindly as US
common folks are, the principle of the thing is
what we wish to build upon. rather than the per-
sona profit Of the individual.
Voting for few individuals that they may use
Arizona as they will, is not voting party prin-
ciples.
If Mr.. VanDyke, who so fare seems to have
demonstrated his ability to consolidate his au-
,hority over the two parties, attempts to continue
lis domination next year, there will be many new
md surprising political readjustments.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING GROWS

President Coolidge believes that the farmer is

)ody else As an example he cites the growth of
cooperative marketing movement which will show
his year turnover Of about two and one-half
billion dollars, or nearly one-fifth of the total
agricultural business of the country
That the government may encourage coopera-
i've marketing is shown both by President Cool
1ge and Secretary Jardine. But the governments
roper function is not to engage directly in CO.
perative enterprises, in buying and selling, for
at as these authorities have warned, would be

What the government can do effectively is to
