BILE in the next ten years, the
state will continue to lead the
nation in copper production and
will hold its place as a producer
of livestock, lumber and non

survey conducted by the Crocker
First National Bank of San

The survey was made to de
termine the future possibilities
of western development during
the next decade.
Approximately $3.50, ,0O0,O0O 90
will be spent in Arizona on new
projects during that period, a
compilation shows and of this
amount, SIS, 900, 900 will be spent
on irrigation development, ex

developments are expected to
increase the farm acreage of
Arizona from 600, 900 to l, 200, 600
acres.

Der of farms in the state has in
creased 32 per cent and the same

In the face of this situation
the railroads are only asking for

The railroads, more than any
other national industry, have
been responsible for the develop
ment of the immense areas that
comprise the United States. The
railroads not only operate upon
their own road beds and their
own rails but they are among the
nations greatest taxpayers.
Toe Secretary of Agriculture
has recently reported in the work
of the relief Of the drought
stricken areas that the railroads
volun tarily reduced rates on the
movement of articles to drought
sufferers. The report of the
Agricultural Secretary also
shows the railroads further aid
ed the situation by making i'm
mense purchase of its timber
and stave bolts from farmers
owning wood lots in the drought
area.
Ia contrast to this public
spirited attitude. who, if any
body, has heard of any great
public service that has been per
formed to help the drought suf
ferers or anyone else by the
motor transportation lines? Yet
they are almost tax exempt. No
wonder the railroads are crying
out against this ruinous compe
tition and the failure of the
Federal and State governments
to equalze the tax situation.
Railway taxes during the past
five years are said to have aver.
aged 81. .OOO,O a day. The com
mercial bus and freight lines are
meanwhile wearing out the high
ways as fast as they can be re
placed replaced at the expense
of railroads and other taxpayers.
