tive European countries could use to
best advantage.
A somewhat similar arrangement
might be effected with Germany. OF
the latter's payments to her creditors
substantial part-tn fact, more than
half--is paid over TO France, who easily
would be prevailed upon, because it
would be to her advantage as well, TO
adhere to a plan similar to that which
may be agreed upon between the United
States and her debtor nations
BY adopting such plan two objects
would be accomplished: First, order
could be restored to the unsettled cur
rency situations Of the various debtor
nations; and, second, the sale by the
United States to the various debtors Of
goods most needed by them, thereby
disposing Of Americas excess produc-
tion, which is admittedly essential to
the country's prosperity.
The producing machinery of the
United States has been constructed on
so great a scale that hard times are
inevitable for nearly everybody If for
eign markets are not maintained at a
reasonable rate. Only by a most en-
ergetic prosecution of foreign trade will
the United States continue to prosper.

wheat futures soon showed reactions.
Corn started 1sa4 up and subse-
quently sagged
An aid to wheat market upturns was
increased attention given to Argentine
reports of wet weather delays to wheat
deliveries at the Seaboard. Continued
aovices were also noted that the Argen-
tine crop was suffering deterioration,
owing to exposure to excessive moisture.
II was likewise pointed out that Eu-
ropean homegrown stocks of wheat
were being reduced to a dangerous level
in countries which ordinarily imported
wheat on liberal scale.
Announcement that overnight export
business in North American wheat and
rye had assumed considerable volume
acted as check on bears. Reports, too,
that various British trade bodies were

quota proposals were construed here as

Railroads Are Declared

BY the Associated Press.
The National Industrial Traffic League
declares the development of highway
TRANSFORMATION has not been an unmixed
evil to the railroads.
Consideration of the development OF
railroad traffic which has accrued to
the carriers as a result Of the develop
ment of the motor vehicle would indi-
cate, on the basis of the leagues meas
urements, that the latter has been an
important revenue producer for steam
carriers.
During the five-year period from
1925 to 1929, the league points out,
the railways reported an average an
nual movement of automobiles, motor
trucks and trailerS of 81, ,638,806 tons,
replacing an annual tonnage movement
of wagons, carriages, tools and motor
vehicles which averaged 3,311, ,348 tons
from 1910 to 1914.
Oil Movement.
During the five-year period, 1910 to
1914, the movement of petroleum and
other oils averaged 18,797,159 tons per
year on the leagues calculations, while
during the period 1925 to 1929 the
movement of refined petroleum products
averaged 108,328, ,493 tons per year and
movement of crude petroleum averaged
19,475, ,842 tons per year.
Freight revenue derived from the
transportation of these commodities
was not reported to the Interstate
Commerce Commission prior to 1928.
But since that time the total has aver
aged s547, ,378,148 per year.
Freight revenue from petroleum and
its products and from motor vehicles,
running in excess of half billion dol
lars a year, has averaged slightly more
than II per cent of all freight revenue
of class l carriers, the league states.
In 1880 these railways originated g.
041, ,847 carloads of petroleum and its
products, automobile trucks, tractors
and tires.
Comparison of Business.
AS a comparison, the league says,
this amount was 100000 cars in excess
of the total movement of products Of
forests, and paid about double the reye-
nue.. It was likewise more than two
and one-half times the tonnage of all
leSs-than- carload freight and more than
three times the tonnage of all animals
and animal products. The total amount
of grain, hay, alfalfa, straw, cotton,
cotton ltnters and Irish potatoes orig
mated in 1880 was 1,996,122 cars, or
more than 100000 less than were
originated by the petroleum and auto
motive industries.

Senator Golfer made the
water and power filings for
the people of Arizona in

"The companionship of a
dog teaches the boy to be

the time The lad spends with
his dog is not spent in idle
ness or mischief, which is
often the foundation for a
life of crime.

THREE YEARS GRACE
ALLOWED OWNERS OF
BACK TAX PROPERTY

Under no conditions will
the owners of property in
Arizona on which the tax
payments are delinquent be
deprived of his property un-
til afterthree years have eX-
pired from the date of the
delinquency, according to
a ruling of K. Berry Peter
son, attorney general. The
opinion was requested by
Gov. George w. P. Hunt to
offset persistent rumors that
House Bill No. 1877, the tax
survey bill of the Ninth leg
islature was still in effect
and the radical tax delin-
quent features imposed by it
still in force.
The former survey mea-
sure is imperative, Mr.. Pc
terson ruled, despite the
fact that an attempt has
been made to bring a refer
endum against Senate Bill
116, the tax survey law of
the 10Th legislature. This
was directed, the opinion
says, to the first IA sections
of the law does not effect
the remainder of the bill
which revises the delinquent
tax schedules.
"There seems to be a wide
spread but mistaken belief
that the present law, Senate
Bill 116, provides that the
property of those individuals
who become delinquent in
the payment of their taxes
would Immediately be sold,
Mr.. Peterson states. "Such
is not the case.
He points out that section
Is of the senate bill provides
that taxes will become de-
linquent on the first Mon
days in May and November
of each year, and that i'm
mediately the treasurer shall
make a book of all back
taxes on those dates. Section
IT provides that back taxes
shall bear interest at the rate
of 1917 until paid.
Sectin 18, he explains,
provides that all property on
which the taxes are unpaid
and are delinquent shall be
subject to sale. The measure
further provides that the
property shall be sold 10 the
person who shall offer to ac-
cept the lowest rate of inter
est and that the rate shall
never exceed Is per cent.
Property so sold, the law
provides, may be redeemed
by the owner any time be-
fore the expiration of 3 years
and that after three years,
the purchaser of property
for taxes may obtain a trea-
surer's deed TO it by comply
ing with the publication fea-
lures of the law.

COURT SAYS WAGE
LAW is INVALID

Inc state law providing
that contractors must p a y
the current per diem rate of
wage on public works of Ari-
zona was declared invalid
and unconstitutional in an
opinion handed down by the
supreme court. The opin-
ion, written by Justice Henry
Ross and concurred in by
Chief Justice A. G.. Alister
and Justice Alfred c. Lock
wood. affirms the action of
the Pima county trial court
dismissing a com p | a / n t
against the Jay j. Garfield
Building company, charging
violation of the law. At the
same time the court affirmed
the dismissal of the charge
brought in Maricopa county
court against B. T. Perry un-
der the same law.
The Garfield company
was engaged in building and
remodeling school houses in
Tucson. 1t was chaged in
the complaint that it had
failed to pay the current per
diem rate of wages to Carl
Smith, a carpenter, employ
ed in the work. The pier
diem rate was claimed to be
SO a day fixed by the car
penter's union and it was al
legged Smith was paid So a
day.
The opinion of the su-
preme court holds the pro-
visions of the Arizona sta
tute concerning current
wages is so uncertain as TO
deprive the contractor of
his property without due
process of law and for that
reason violates the constitu-
ton. Although not stated,
the opinion in effect holds
that the Ar zona statute, like
Oklahoma law decided by
the United States supreme
court in the Connally case, IS
not sufficiently definite upon
which to base a criminal pro-
secution for its violation.
1t was brought out in the
trial of the charge against
the Garfield company IN
Tucson that the per diem
rate of wages for the partl-
cular kind Of work Smith did
ranged from Sc to $40 a day.
This, the supreme court
declares, compares with
Connolly case in which the
per diem wages ranged from
So to S4.05 a day.
In the opinion the high
court declares that the pre-
vailing rule appears to be
that a state and its political
subdivisions may establish a
minimum rate of wages for
laborers on public works.
The matter is not then a
question of the power OF
the legislature to prescribed
a current rate of wages for
manual and mechanical la
Dor on public works, the
count continues, but is
whether that phrase in Its
context is sufficiently clear
and definite to inform the
employer of the per diem
he should pay to satisfy the
law. If the employer is not
BILE TO determine between
two or more alternative
wages that are open, which
would comply with the sta
tute, it cannot be said, the
court contends, that the STA
tute is definite and certain
for in such case the courl
might conclude the alterna-
tive adopted by the employ
er was the wrong one.

THE BLUES IN 1857

It is a gloomy monment in
history. Not for many years
not in the lifetime of most
men who read this paper
has there been so much
grave and deep apprehen-
sion; never has the future
seemed so incalcuable as at
this time. In our own cOun-
try there is universal COM
mercial prostratiOn and pa
mic, and thousands of our
poorest fellow citizens are
turned out against t'0e ap-
preaching winter without
employment, and without
the prospect of it.
In France the political
caldron seethes and bobbles
with uncertainty; Russia
hangs as usual, like a cloud,
dark and silent upon the
horizon of Europe; while all
the energies, resources and
influences of the British En-
pire are sOrely tried, and
are yet to be tried more sore
ly, in coping with the vast
and deadly Idian insurrec-
ton, and with its disturbed
relations in China.
1t is a solemn moment, and
no man can feel an indiffer-
ence (Which, happily, no
man petends to feeD in the
issue of events.
Of our own troubles no
man can see the end. They
are, fortunately, as yet main
ly commercial; and if we are
only to lose money, and by
painful poverty to be taught
wisdom-the wisdom of hon
or. and faith, of sympathy
and of charity-no man need
seriously despair. And yet
the very haste to be rich,
which is the occasion of this
widespread calamity, has al
so tended to destroy the NOR
al forces with which we are
TO resist and subdue the ca
lamity.
Good Friends - Let our
conduct prove that the call
goes to men who have large
hearts, however narrowed
their homes may be; who
have open hands, however
empty their purses. In time
of peril we have nothing but
manhood, strong in its faith
in God, to relay upon; and
whoever shows himself truly
a God-fearing man now, by
helping wherever and how
ever he can, will be as bless
ed and beloved as a great
light in the darkness.
