STATE TAX RATE
FIXED AT &C ON
SlOO VALUATION

PHOENIX, Aug. P9-The state
tax rate for 1927 will approximate SO
cents for each 500 of assessed valua-
ton of property in the state, accord
ing to an estimate of the rate made
today by the state tax commission from
tentative ngures on the amount to be
raised by the levy ana the total valua-
ton of property in the state
The 1926 tax rate was 67 cents, or
26 less than the estimated rate for
1927. The final compilation of the
1927 state rate by the tax commission
Monday may fix the rate lower than
the estimate or slightly in advance, it
was stated.
The estimation of the commission
was made contingent upon the fact
that there would be no additional APP
preparation made by the eighth legis-
lature now in special session and the
further fact that there will be no
change in tho total amount to be
raised in the state BUDGET f"0r7 N"
tentative total of the budget submitted
today to the commission by Mrs. Ana
Frohmiller, state auditor.
The final valuation of property i'll
the state for taxation purposes for
1927 will be about $671 100000 or nearly
$4,000, 900 in excess of the total valua :
ton for 1926 as fixed by the tax COM
mission. The final total valuation for
1926 was $653, 1853, ,397.

1.-THE famous trophy. They may do
so again this year, wild Tilden aim
ing at comeback and Johnston
conserving his stamina for the big
battle, but the odds will be less pro-

Johnston always has been neme-
sis to the Frenchmen but Tilden has
had to give and take in his jousts
with them.
I : In 4 five-match series such as the
Davis cup challenge round, Americas
veterans may uncork enough stuff to
again check the French thrust but
, it will be more difficult for either
Tilden or Johnston to wade success
fully through the week Of national
championship singles completion
afterward.
Tilden, eager to regain his crown,
will be the main American hope in
the nations, but "Bik Bills" resources
will be severely taxed. On any one
day he may be capable of disposing
any of Frances stars-Cochet, La
coste or Borotra-but it would take
the Tildcn of his super-days, in all
probability, to turn back their COM
bined attack.
