FIGHT RAISING
ASSESSMENT ON
GRAZING LAND

The second step in the fight which
the Cochise county board of super
Yisors is waging in the interests of
local cattlemen, namely, trial of a
suit enjoining the board from carry
ing out an order recently issued by
the state tax commission directing
them to raise the assessment on
grazing land from 50 to SO per acre,
was carried over until September 16
when the matter came up in Judge
Albert M. Samcs' court Thusday.
The state tax commission ordered
that the assessment on grazing lands
be increased but the board of su-
pervisors refused to execute the or
der on the ground that it was gross
1y unfair to the cattlemen of this
district and also for the reason that
the tax commission is not taking
the same action in all districts.
Assessment rates on some 100000
acres of grazing lands in Cochise
county were lowered from SO to 81
during the period in which the cat
tlemen were facing financial ruin

commissions order would apply to
500, 900 acres of land, whereas the
previous decrease only affected 500.-
600 acres.
1t is understood that the state tax
commission is preparing suit to be

officio members of the board Of

TRADING FAIRLY ACTIVE.
New Orleans Exchange Records Drop
of 10 to 12 Points.

NEW ORLEANS, April II R).-
There was fairly active trading to-
day for Saturday session and
although prices slumped off 10 to II
points in the early trading on the
expectation of overnight selling orders
and in sympathy with lower Liverpool
cables, the decline was recovered in
the later trading, due to covering over
the week end. The rally also was
helped by the barometer lines on the
weather map, holding out the possi-
bility of q recurrence of unsettled
weather over Sunday. The close was
very steady and within a point or two
of the best, showing net losses for the
day of only l to 8 points.
At the start the market opened
easier and first trades showed losses
of to 10 points. Prices continued
to ease off after the call under the
pressure of overnight selling orders
and May traded down to 1880, July
to 1885 and October to 1874, or 10
to 10 points below yesterdays close.
These prices proved to be the lows of
the day.
During the second hour of the ses-
sion prices rallied on covering by
shorts for over the week end and on

out prospects of a change in the
weather. All the early loss was re-
covered, active months paralleling the
close Of yesterday.
The close was within a point or
two of the highest, with the under
tone very steady.
Exports for the day totaled 10.465
bales.

FREIGHT RATES TO D. c.
CALLED UNREASONABLE"
I. C. C. Examiner Holds Levy on
Printing and Wrapping Paper
From New England Excessive.

Freight rates on printing and wrap
ping paper in carloads from points in
New England to Washington were
found unreasonable by an examiner for
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today because they exceed correspond
ing rates to Baltimore by more than
cents per 100 pounds. Examiner
Hill in tentative decision recon-
mended that reparation in the amount
of the alleged overcharge be made by
the Maine Central Railroad Co. to
members of the New England Paper
and Pulp Traffic Association which
brought the complaint. A similar find
ing was affirmed by the commission
several months ago in the newsprint
case, involving alleged overcharge on
shipments of newsprint to Washing
ton and Baltimore from New Eng
land and New York points.
The examiner found the class rates
and paper rates from New England
to Washington to be in hopeless con-
fusion" adding that the rates on
paper within trunk-line territory and
from New England to trunk-line ter
ritory have long been in chaotic
condition.

FORD MOTOR BREAK
FEATURE On CURB
Recedes rs Points Overnight,
With 10-Point Drop Dur
ing the Day.
By the Associated Press.

bS the AsSOc1dttu FTcSS.
NEW YORK, April 17.-An over
night break of 25 points followed with
a further loss Of 10 points in Ford
Motor of Canada was the outstanding
feature in an otherwise quiet session
On the Curb Exchange today. The
movement in Ford Motor of Canada
was effected on odd-lot transactions
totaling 100 shares, and its low quo
tations at 440 showed a loss of 14O
points for the week. 1t rallied 20
points in the following dealings:
General Baking "A" opened slightly
higher. but failed to maintain that
improvement.
few public utilities declined on
small dealings. American Light
dropped 23s points.
After the opening period there was
only occasional trading, and formerly
active favorites were neglected.
In the oil division Standard Oil OF
New York and Tidewater Associated
recorded small advances.
The curb market during the week
however, showed an improved tone,
nearly all the active issues being well
sustained and rejecting a quiet ac-
cumulation whenever a supply ap~
peared. Different conditions existed,
however, in a number of the inactive
specialties. Several fluctuated V1o-
lently over a wide range, and a num-
ber of those stocks sustained severe
losses. Most interest was attached to
urgent selling of Ford Motor of Cam
ada, and although transactions in that
stock were of only small lots, there
was no nearby demand after each
sale, and this small selling was ef-
fective in carrying the stock down.
ROYAL Baking Powder. which had
not been traded recently, showed a
loss Of 3S points from its last preced-
ing sale a few months ago. and a
loss Of points carried Bucyrus down
to 1876. This stock sold at 247 early
in the year. Atlas Portland Cement
dropped 3 points, and F'ajardo Sugar
had q range Of over. 20 points to low
level of 1242t before a rally occurred.

When one saucy movie man showed
a lens within close range for a close
up. the Prince, looking down from his
horse, laughed into the camera.
Fridays review of the troops return
ing from tactical maneuvers was one
of many state ceremonies preceding
the Princes departure for America. 1t
afforded opportunity for a remarkable
tribute to his popularity. The Stock
holm crowds, usually undemonstrative
cheered him Vociferously.
The review had for many veterans
a melancholy interest, for Sweden's
social democratic government already
has doomed to extinction most of the
regiments which participated as part
of its disarmament campaign.

PRICES OF COTTON

New York.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 17.-Renewal OF
yesterdays selling movement, based
primarily upon better weather con
ditions for the new crop start IN the
South, led to further declines IN lhe

by trade pricing or covering arouhu

The official forecast for partly
cloudy or cooler weather in the

sellers, and there may have been a
little buying on apprehenSlonS that
unsettled conditions would develop
over the week end. July sold up from

Sidelights on Copyright Problems.

Percentages seemed to figure to a
great extent in the congressional
radio copyright hearings. Paul Klugh
OF the Association Of Broadcasters
said that 20 per cent of the active
'broadcasting stations were now ac-
cepting advertising, using the revenue
to pay for talent. Gene Buck of the
Authors. Composers and Publishers
claimed that 80 per cent of the COM
posers were poor men. while another
witness asserted that. nevertheless,
they controlled 80 per cent Of the
copyright music. The Society of Com
posers, it was declared, included 30
per cent of the popular music writer's.
According to the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph statistics, so per
cent of the 100000 listeners own
their own homes, rs per cent Of them
have monographs and over so per
cent own pianos.
Variations in the fees charged by
copyright owners for the use of their
selections broadcast were cited by diff
ferent station owners and managers.
John Sheppard of WNAC, Boston,
said that last year he paid a fee of
$500 for his 500.watt transmitter,
whereas. this year the society was
asking $1,000 fee and $40 per hour
additional, which would amount to
about $4,000 a year, at the rate he
was operating last month. Some
higher-powered stations, he added.
were only paying at the rates of SIS
and SO per hour. The increase
asked, he pointed out, approximated
1000 per cent.
Powell Crosley of Cincinnati, and
owner of WLW, testified that whereas
he originally paid a reasonable IL
cense fee, it had been greatly in
creased.
William S. Hedges Of the Chicago
Daily News and WMAQ announced
that his station was paying 20 cents
per copy for each number broadcast.
