some shrinkage of stock but not more

that in the death of George Levi
Barnes, this order, this lodge in par

THE STATE DID NOTsLOSE
AS MUCH AS STOCKMEN

Mr.. Editor:
| notice an article from Mr. Will c.
Barnes in a recent issue of The Sun
in which he says the state of Arizona
has lost $96,000.0O because of the
waving of the grazing fees during
1925. 1t would be difficult for
stoekman to understand why the stare
has lost money because the fores-
service did not take it from him and
give it to the state. / believe that
aEy slate is prosperous to the same
extent that its citizens are prosper
Ous.~~If the state needs that $96,0O0.-
90 it will levy taxes and collect the
money and every citizen will Eeip nay
it in proportion to the value Of his
property. BY this method there will
be no discrimination against any
class and no industry will be penaliz-
ed. 1t is evident that the forest serv-
ice would have collected just 500, 6,000.-
90 more than it ought to have col
lected from the stocl. men or Mr..
Barnes would not intimate that it
would have given that much to the
state. The forest service is a joke
but unfortunately the joke has been
on the stock men.

she really liked his parents. Surely
derstand that old folks that had al
ways lived in the country would be
different. Little by little he convinced
her that he could not stop his parents
coming, but he could not convince her
in the least that their coming would
not spoil her dinner party.
She met them, however, in her Gus
tomary friendly way, for which he
was grateful, but he could see that
she was extremely, nervous, especially
so when the Gordons arrived next day.
They all sat down in the lovely sun
lit dining room, which Vera had made
so attractive for this occasion. A
beautiful mound of Easter lilies graced
the center of the table and the gleam-
ing glass and silver sparkled under
the spring sunlight that came through
the big windows. Billy was more
than nervous as the meal began; he
watched Vera and his mother and IA
Their at intervals, looking for some
thing to happen. But nothing did.
Apparently their other guests knew
nothing Of the undercurrent of ner-
vousness that was there, for they were
talking and laughing as If they were
enjoying themselves thoroughly. And
as the meal progressed Vera looked at
them wonderingly several times as
they leaned close toward Billy's ia
thor opd mothar as IL In fear that thew
would miss a word. After all, it
seemed as If the very thing that she
had said would cause the failure Of
her party was making it success.
That evening, after all the guests
had departed, Vera came to Billy's
side, tears shining in her eyes. Humbly
she asked his forgiveness, telling him
that she had learned a lesson that
she would not soon forget: II have
been so small, so little" she sobbed.
IT know Il don't deserve your forgive
ness, Billy, but am so sorry for the
way acted. Why, the Gordons could
not stop telling me before they left
how much they had enjoyed your ia
ther and mother. And to think tried
to make you stop them from comingw
Billy forgave her, of course, and in
his heart he. rejoiced because she had
learned a much-needed lesson.
