PUBLIC UTILITIES PAYS
$5O,O5l.l2 BACK TAXES

A bitter dispute Of three years
standing over back taxes came to an
end Monday afternoon when Mrs.
Anna B. Ackley, county treasurer
received a check for $50,O51.12 from
Duane Bird, utility counsel, and G.
H. McNulty. local manager, as pay
ment in full for taxes owed by the
Public Utilities Consolidated Cor
poration to the county for the years
1882, 1888, and 1884. The amount
paid is a reduction as ordered by
the State Tax Commission.
Previous to the reduction the DOW
er company had been listed on the
county's books as owing $G8,824.O3.
The State Tax Commission ordered
a reduction amounting to almost 25
per cent in assessed valuation of
the company's property which
brought the taxes down to the
amount paid.
Discussions which led to a settle
ment of the tax wrangle began in
the office of the board of supervisors
on Monday July 8. When the board
of supervisors travelled to Prescott
to attend the annual tax conference
they laid their problem before the
State Tax Commission which result
ed in the following order:

SALES TAX ON
LUXURY TAX
is PROTESTED
By EDWARD j. HE1LMAN

BY EDWARD j. HETLMAN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PHOENIX, Aug. 8 (UP)-A loud
and anguished howl went up from
all sections of Arizona as merch-
ants protested the state tax COM
missions ruling that they must
pay sales tax on the state luxury
tax they already have paid by pur-
chasing luxury tax stamps.
The commissions ruling, an
nounced by A. L. Frees, director of
the sales tax division, reversed the
commissions earlier tacit ruling
that the merchants could deduct
the amount they paid for luxury tax
stamps from the gross income on
which they are required to pay two
per cent sales tax.
Frees said the commission had
been informed by the attorney gen.
erals office that the new sales tax
law does not permit the deduction,
as was permitted by the law is sue
ceeded.
Thus, when a merchant now sells
a package of cigaretts, for instance,
for IS cents, which includes the two
cents luxury tax which he already
had paid when he affixed the stamp,
he must report the sale at IS cents
in his gross income. He must pay
the sales tax of two per cent on
the Is cents, although he actually
received but 13 cents for himself.
It was believed a test case will
be filed in superior court somewhere
in the state to test the levality Of
the "tax on a tax" ruling.
Frees also announced that while
farmers who thresh their own grain
or bale their own hay would not be
charged a sales tax, the one per
cent tax would be collected from
those who do the work for others.
Additionally, he said, threshers or
balers must obtain state privilege
license costing 81 before Aug. 20, or
face e $40 penalty.

APPORTEONMENT
OF SCHOOL TAXES

County Attorney E. R. Thurman
has given Mrs. Lula r. Larinore,
county school superintendent, an
opinion in which he states that
back school taxes collected in No
gales school district No. / should
be apportioned to that district alone.
His opinion is that the law re-
quires levies made in Nogales school
district for it's maintenance should
not be placed in the county general
school fund as has been done in
the past with back taxes.
This ruling means a return Of a
large sum of money to the Nogales
school fund which now shows a de-
ficit Of $4,000.
The ruling was made at the re-
quest of the school board which
claims that it's district is not receiv-
ing a proper share of school taxes.

Occupant Unhurt

A Chevrolet coupe driven by Ar
thur H. Dye, athletic director at the
transient camp, turned over three
times Sunday night about ten o.
clock, on the Tucson road mile
from Kinsley Bros.
The accident was caused by a
blowout on the rear tires. Dye, the
only occupant of the car, was un-
hurt. One of the car doors was torn
off and the top was slightly caved
in. Beyond that the coupe was not
damaged.
After changing tires, Dye drove
the car to the garage.

"I look for considerable expan-
sion of the loan plan," Mcdonald
said. Thousands of properties thru
out the west could be opened if the
owners would qualify for aid. Many
properties need but few improve
rnents or better facilities to become
profitable ventures. If the RFC loan
plan were carried to it's logical con-
clusion in Arizona, between 10000
and 10000 men could be put to
work.
To stimulate interest in the min
ing sections, the RFC has establish
ed an office here to handle inquiries
and to make preliminary reports on
properties seeking loans.

County Tax Rate
Of Past Years

Figures on tax rates compiled by
William G.. Simonton, clerk of the
board of supervisors, show that the
county tax rate has fluctuated in
amounts since 1899. Although re-
duction in the county tax rate have
been made several times the gen.
eral tendency has been to increase
the rate. The chart proves the 1884
35 rate to be the highest in the his
tory of the county.
I'm many respects it is difficult
to make comparisons with this
chart, Mr.. Simonton said, because
it must be remembered that the as
sessed valuation has flucatuated al
so which causes changes in rates" "

IN WORKS PROGRESS SETUP
Under Government Regulations, WPA Funds For

be impossible to fulfill in most in
stances as cost Of materials and
equipment will run far above the
$500 per man percentage on all ex-
cept projects which can be con-
structed by "pick and shovel crews.
Another regulation that worried
the state engineers was that which
requires that 80 per cent of all men
employed on WPA projects must be
taken from relief rolls. The average
relief roll worker, they pointed out.
is entirely unskilled and capable of
performing only common labor.
Modern highway construction re-
quires large percentage of skilled
or semi-skilled men who can operate
the elaborate equipment used.
This state has been allocated ap-
proximately $8,00O0O0 of WPA funds
for highway construction, but up to
now, State Engineer T. S. O'Con-
nell has been able to guarantee but
between 10 and Is percent of his
program for the next two years un-
Ger the WPA rules.
AS result, highway officials ad-
mitted, the two-year construction
program planned by O'Connell has
been delayed pending attempts to
change some of the government re-
gulatjons and experiments under
the rules laid down.
1t would be possible, it was said,
for the state to use some of its own
funds to furnish additional mater
ials or equipment on projects be-
gun under the WPA requirement
which grants 50 small percent
age for materials and equipment.
O'Connell, however, was described
as unwilling to allocate any gaso-
line-taX funds to such projects if it
could be avoided, because to do SO
would run the cost of construction
too high.
Construction of two force ac-
count" projects on secondary roads
was begun by the highway depart
ment under WPA regulations in an
experiment to determine how the
system will work, and whether the
WPA regulations can be carried out
on primary highways.

AFTER DROP

NEW YORK, Aug. 1. G.N.S).
Cotton futures sold off slightly
more as the session progressed
and then steadied. Lower Liver
pool cables, favorable weather re-
ports ind another high private
crop report were influential in the
decline.
The South and the West were
selling and commission houses
also began to liquidate. Short
covering aided trade and spot
house buying in sustaining the
market. The near months were
under slightly greater pressure,
with the exception of December,
than the further contracts.

a crop of 11,647,000 bales of 500
pounds gross, as compared with
9,636,00 bales last year. The COM
parison with the recent report
placing the crop at 10,500,000 or
