so distressing to the prod ucers

Taxes on farms are as heavy as
ever yet the price of farm pro
ducts in many instances has fal
len to all time lows, so that farm
ers and producers cannot even
sell their products for enough to
pay interest sand taxes. There
is nothing that brakes the prices
of agricultural and horticultural
products in Arizona to q greater
extent than the interstate truck
ing custom. Yetthose who carry
on this ira ffic, for the most part,
escaping paying just taxes, ii
any, at all, while taxes remain
as heavy on the farmer as ever,
yet most Of their products do not
now sell for price Sufficient to
pay the cost Of production.
